When a deranged stalker attempts to murder her daughter Berry, Caroline King has no doubts who to contact for help: Berry’s father, the cagey private investigator Dodge Hanley.

He has a whole bagful of grudging excuses for ignoring Caroline’s call—and one compelling reason to drop everything and fly down to Texas to protect the daughter he’s never met: guilt.

Download or read book Tough Ain t Enough written by Lester D. Friedman and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his lengthy career as both an actor and a director, Clint Eastwood has appeared in virtually every major film genre and, at this point in his career, has emerged as one of America’s most popular, recognizable, and respected filmmakers. He also remains a controversial figure in the political landscape, often characterized as the most prominent conservative voice in mostly liberal Hollywood. At Eastwood’s late age, his critical success as actor and director, his combative willingness to confront serious cultural issues in his films, and his undeniable talent behind the camera all call for a new and comprehensive study that considers and contextualizes his multiple roles, both on and off screen. Tough Ain’t Enough offers readers a series of original essays by prominent cinema scholars that explore the actor-director’s extensive career. The result is a far-reaching and nuanced portrait of one of America’s most prolific and thoughtful filmmakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Christians Must Read the Bible Did you know the bible bans Christmas trees? This is sad but true. Yet we continue to decorate them and celebrate Christmas. There's plenty of things we Christians do which goes against the bible. Tough Lessons from the Bible helps to shed light on certain dark things we Christians should not be doing. It's indeed bible study, but it's the kind of bible study where a person will want to open up their bibles and read the Word of God for themselves. This book focuses on things such as abortion, homosexuality, creation, Christmas, just to name a few. Christians should not be only dependent upon the Sunday sermon. It's imperative we not only read the Word ourselves but become doers of the Word as well. God calls us to be lights in the world and this is what we should be doing. Some of the questions answered by reading this book: - Does God exist? - Is Jesus the Son of God? ---- -- Was Jesus actually born on December 25th? -------- What is the true origin of abortion? - How to identify a false prophet? - What does the bible really teach about homosexuality? - Do Catholics worship Mary? - Should Christians celebrate Christmas? For non-Christians, this book gives a better insight into what the bible is all about and not what has been mistaught. If you want to gain more insight into certain bible lessons, then make sure to purchase this book before you checkout.

Download or read book Tough Girls written by Sherrie A. Inness and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tough girls are everywhere these days. Whether it is Ripley battling a swarm of monsters in the Aliens trilogy or Captain Janeway piloting the starship Voyager through space in the continuing Star Trek saga, women strong in both body and mind have become increasingly popular in the films, television series, advertisements, and comic books of recent decades. In Tough Girls, Sherrie A. Inness explores the changing representations of women in all forms of popular media and what those representations suggest about shifting social mores. She begins her examination of tough women in American popular culture with three popular television shows of the 1960s and '70s—The Avengers, Charlie's Angels, and The Bionic Woman—and continues through such contemporary pieces as a recent ad for Calvin Klein jeans and current television series such as The X-files and Xena: Warrior Princess. Although all these portrayals show women who can take care of themselves in ways that have historically been seen as uniquely male, they also variously undercut women's toughness. She argues that even some of the strongest depictions of women have perpetuated women's subordinate status, using toughness in complicated ways to break or bend gender stereotypes while simultaneously affirming them.

Download or read book Tough Jews written by Rich Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning writer Rich Cohen excavates the real stories behind the legend of infamous criminal enforcers Murder, Inc. and contemplates the question: Where did the tough Jews go? In 1930s Brooklyn, there lived a breed of men who now exist only in legend and in the memories of a few old-timers: Jewish gangsters, fearless thugs with nicknames like Kid Twist Reles and Pittsburgh Phil Strauss. Growing up in Brownsville, they made their way from street fights to underworld power, becoming the execution squad for a national crime syndicate. Murder Inc. did for organized crime what Henry Ford did for the automobile, and Tough Jews is the first in-depth portrait of these men, a thrilling glimpse at the muscle that made possible the success of gangster statesmen such as Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano. For Rich Cohen, who grew up in suburban Illinois in the 1980s taunted by the stereotype of Jews as book-reading rule followers, the very idea of the Jewish gangster was a relief; for once, a Jew in jail did not have to be a white collar criminal. With a clear eye and a comic sensibility, Cohen looks beyond the blood and ultimately encounters each of these ruthless killers’ matzo-ball heart. Tough Jews shows what can happen when a member of the tribe combines brains, heart, and a dangerous determination never to back down.
