Book excerpt: The dwelling of an individual's mind is a vast, complicated space where no one is all good or bad. Passions become secrets, and secrets become dangerous. When a university student, Jeremy McKneese, has an affair with his accomplished, yet controversial professor, Allison Alcott, it becomes more than a simple love affair. After the professor is found murdered in her home, it is McKneese who takes the lead in the suspect pool. But the murder of the professor is more than the result of an affair, and may have connections in the university, police force, and even involve the prime minister. It's up to McKneese, and those who believe in his innocence, to discover the truth behind the many layers surrounding the professor's death. Politics, lust, jealousy, and betrayal all intertwine in Henry J. Findlay's Twisted Minds. He hopes readers enjoy the overlapping relationships, mystery, and the importance of every detail in problem solving.

Download or read book Twisted Head written by Carl Capotorto and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's in a name? For Carl Capotorto, everything is in a name. The literal translation from Italian to English of Capotorto is "twisted head." This is no accident. Carl grew up in the Bronx in the 1960s and ’70s with the Mangialardis ("eat fat") and Mrs. Sabella ("so beautiful"), incessant fryers and a dolled-up glamour queen. Carl's father, Philip Vito Capotorto, was the obsessive, tyrannical head of the family--"I'm not your friend, I'm the father" was a common refrain in their household. The father ran Cappi's Pizza and Sangwheech Shoppe, whose motto was "We Don't Spel Good, Just Cook Nice." It was a time of great upheaval in the Bronx, and Carl's father was right in the middle of it, if not the cause of it, much to the chagrin of his long-suffering mother. Twisted Head is the comedic story of a hardscrabble, working-class family's life that represents the real legacy of Italian-Americans--labor, not crime. It is also the poignant memoir of the author's struggle to become himself in a world that demanded he act like someone else. Tragic and funny in equal measure, Carl's story is propelled by a cast of only-in-New-York characters: customers at the family pizza shop, public school teachers, nuns and priests at church, shop owners and merchants--all wildly entertaining and sometimes frightening. Somewhere in all the rage and madness that surrounded Carl in his youth, he found the bottom line: he loved his family, but he had to let them go. Twisted Head is an exorcism of sorts. With plenty of laughs.

Book excerpt: Twisted documents and explores an eleven-story garment factory building in Shantou, China, for the fashion label Lafayette 148. The book presents the building as an artifact of architecture, with detailed documentation of images and drawings. The book also presents essays that offer a series of distinct but interrelated responses to the many questions that arise when building a garment factory facility in contemporary China. Issues addressed range from the architectural import of the building typology, to the ecological footprint of a factory, to social and architectural concerns regarding labor as well as construction practices, to the ethics and aesthetics of factory building. Clear tensions exist between the global and the local, with respect to issues such as material economies, labor relations, working conditions, and company branding. The book investigates the role of design in all of this. For what can the architect be held responsible in contemporary praxis. Is it ultimately possible to address the social inequalities produced by global garment manufacturing through design? This book is not a monograph, but includes extensive documentation of the design process, the development of working drawings, construction technologies, as well as the completed building and a post-occupancy review of the building.
