Anyone who has ever been trapped in a soul-sucking gig will relate to this tale.

Download or read book Trashed written by Alison Gaylin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Award finalist Alison Gaylin, who brought readers “something completely different” (Chicago Tribune) with Hide Your Eyes and You Kill Me, presents a brand-new novel of suspense set against the surreal backdrop of contemporary Hollywood—where a trashing in the tabloids can make you or break you, and dirty little secrets are the lifeblood of the media machine. Working for an infamous scandal sheet, Simone Glass is learning what they didn’t teach her at Columbia’s journalism school: Always wear gloves when digging through the trash, never give your real name, and, above all, trust no one. . . . Since nobody will speak to The Asteroid on the record, Simone is forced to go undercover—posing as a cater-waiter at a gala benefit, hiding out in a Dumpster in hopes of hearing incriminating conversation, even sneaking onto the set of the hot new TV series Suburban Indiscretions. When a soap opera star commits suicide, and her emotionally unstable assistant insists someone killed her, Simone sets out to uncover the real, untold story. But before she can put the pieces together, a stripper with sordid celebrity connections is found drenched in her own blood . . . and even Simone’s most reliable sources begin acting paranoid. Suddenly a savage killer is ripping Tinseltown apart and handing Simone her most lethal leads ever. Can she expose the murderer before it’s too late—or will she become just the latest casualty of Hollywood’s brutal deceptions?

Since I got out of prison six months ago, I've had one goal: find my father, whatever the cost. My older brother says I need to move on. He also wants me to leave our gang, East Side Hollenbeck, and go straight, but I can't--not until I uncover the truth about our family and its missing piece. One problem? I'm distracted. My distraction's name is Carmen Centeno. Smart, passionate, and tough as hell, Carmen is a woman from the neighborhood who's built her career as one of the city's top chefs.

Carmen deserves a man she can depend on. And when the ghosts of my past rise up, I'll have to outsmart them--or lose my shot at a future with the only woman who believes in me.

Download or read book Woman Trashed written by Joanne Brodie and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suburban, middle-class, and from a good family - this is what makes Joanne Brodie's story all the more shocking. It is the dual account of the relentless seduction of the impulse to self-destruct and, at the same time, the human spirit's desperate desire to survive. Brodie is unremittingly honest in recounting a life that saw her take the deceptively easy and palliative path that leads to prescription drug addiction and the ripple effect of its devastating impact on the people in her world. To the outside world a successful businesswoman with an enviable career and the trappings to accessorise it, how then did the woman with the world at her feet find herself working in a brothel and, finally, running an S&M parlour from her home? Brodie's story is never boring and often painful, and throughout it all she maintains a wry tone that lends humour to her serious subject. Whether she's exposing the many doctors and psychiatrists who reached all too easily for the prescription pad or describing the high flying, cocaine-fuelled lives of the rich and powerful circles she once partied in, she never compromises on the truth. And as she moves from gallery owner to prostitute to dominatrix and eventually to counsellor to many who sought her help and advice on their own lifetime journeys to recovery, her shrewd, original and on occasion eccentric insights will give courage and inspiration to all.

Download or read book Trashed Cans written by Jennifer S. Gitlitz and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trashed Cans: The Global Environmental Impacts of Aluminum Can Wasting in America" documents the rise in aluminum beverage can wasting over the last thirty years.: from less than 5 billion cans (approximately 100,000 tons) wasted in 1971, to 50.7 billion cans (760,000 tons) wasted in 2001. The report details the global environmental and energy related consequences of replacing wasted cans with new cans made from virgin materials. Had the cans wasted in 2001 been recycled, they could have saved the equivalent of 16 million barrels of crude oil, and avoided the production of 3 million of tons of greenhouses gases, and hundreds of thousands of tons of NOx, Sox, toxic flourides, volatile organic carbons, and many other air and water pollutants. The report describes locations around the world where environmentally damaging hydroelectric dams have been either built or planned primarily to supply energy to aluminum smelters. The report outlines the main reasons for the recycling decline, including away-from-home consumption and declining financial incentives to recycle. Finally, it presents solutions to reverse the wasting trend, including deposit legislation ("bottle bills"), which internalizes the social and environmental costs of aluminum can manufacturing and disposal and shifts those costs from taxpayers to producers and consumers.
