Download or read book Low Life written by Lucy Sante and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic social history of corruption and vice in nineteenth-century NYC: “A cacophonous poem of democracy and greed, like the streets of New York themselves” (John Vernon, Los Angeles Times Book Review). Lucy Sante’s Low Life is a portrait of America’s greatest city, the riotous and anarchic breeding ground of modernity. This is not the familiar saga of mansions, avenues, and robber barons, but the messy, turbulent, often murderous story of the city’s slums; the teeming streets—scene of innumerable cons and crimes whose cramped and overcrowded housing is still a prominent feature of the cityscape. Low Life voyages through Manhattan from four different directions. Part One examines the actual topography of Manhattan from 1840 to 1919; Part Two, the era’s opportunities for vice and entertainment—theaters and saloons, opium and cocaine dens, gambling and prostitution; Part Three investigates the forces of law and order which did and didn’t work to contain the illegalities; Part Four counterposes the city’s tides of revolt and idealism against the city as it actually was. Low Life is one of the most provocative books about urban life ever written—an evocation of the mythology of the quintessential modern metropolis, which has much to say not only about New York’s past but about the present and future of all cities.

Download or read book Low life written by Charles Farrell and published by Hamilcar Publications. This book was released on 2021-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Low)life is a gripping memoir from Charles Farrell, a world-class jazz musician and onetime fight fixer and gangster. A world-class jazz pianist, Charles Farrell made his living working Mob clubs from the time he was a teenager in the 1960s. He later moved from music to the complex world of professional boxing, managing dozens of fighters, including the former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks and the former gang leader Mitch "Blood" Green, who famously went toe-to-toe with Mike Tyson--once in the ring and once in the street. A fight-fixer and gangster, Farrell ran afoul of New York mobsters in the 1990s, and fled to a farm in Puerto Rico, coming home only after an aging boxing legend brokered his safe return. Retired from the fight game, he returned to jazz and, among other collaborators, played frequently with his friend, Ornette Coleman, the godfather of "Free Jazz" and one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. (Low)life is a singular book by a singular man.

Download or read book All the Money in the World written by Laura Vanderkam and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How happy would you be if you had all the money in the world? The universal lament about money is that there is never enough. We spend endless hours obsessing over our budgets and investments, trying to figure out ways to stretch every dollar. We try to follow the advice of money gurus and financial planners, then kick ourselves whenever we spend too much or save too little. For all of the stress and effort we put into every choice, why are most of us unhappy about our finances? According to Laura Vanderkam, the key is to change your perspective. Instead of looking at money as a scarce resource, consider it a tool that you can use creatively to build a better life for yourself and the people you care about. For instance, the average couple spends $5,000 on engagement and wedding rings, making these pricey purchases largely because everyone else does. But what if you decided to spend $300 on rings and apply the rest to future date nights, weekend getaways, and thinking-of-you bouquets over the next ten years? In he long run, what would bring more joy to your marriage? Likewise, will owning a home with a pristine lawn and a two-car garage—the American Dream—really make you more satisfied? Or are you saving up for this investment just because financial planners tell you it’s worth it? Vanderkam shows how each of us can figure out better ways to use what we have to build the lives we want. Drawing on the latest happiness research as well as the stories of dozens of real people, Vanderkam offers a contrarian approach that forces us to examine our own beliefs, goals, and values. Among her advice: Laugh at the Joneses: It’s human nature to compare yourself to those around you, but you can create lifestyle hat rings you personal satisfaction without copying your neighbors. Give yourself the best weekend ever: Studies show that experiences often bring more pleasure than material goods. With a little planning and creativity, you can give yourself a memorable getaway without leaving town or going broke. Embrace the selfish joy of giving: Giving back not only helps you build karma, it also helps you build a community—which is much more fulfilling than a tax deduction. All the Money in the World is a practical and inspiring guide that shows how money can buy happiness—if we spend it wisely.

This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time or another, we have all contemplated such introspective questions as, “What is my purpose on Earth? What happens when I die? Is God satisfied with the way I am living on Earth?” All humans are here to fulfill a mission. This is why we must live by the Word of God and listen to the Holy Spirit to direct and lead our paths. Inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit, Edwin Enomhensike I shares insight on how to further strengthen the ability of God’s chosen generation to exercise their rights and authorities as Christians on Earth, regardless of age, race, background, and origin. Edwin addresses several topics of interest that include the reasons why we are on Earth, the ways to understand God’s purpose for our lives, God’s divine purpose for creating man, the principle of giving, and the ways to overcome hindrances and tap into God’s purpose for our lives. The Unveiling Secrets of a Purposeful Driven Life is a thoughtful guide to both understanding and moving forward with God’s divine plan for our lives. In this book, you will understand how God in His infinite goodness and thought process created humans for a specific purpose which He expects us to fulfill before transiting to the world beyond where we will meet with Him again. We have been given the mandate and responsibility to create positive impacts on our world, generations and to those around us, so why not take that bold step to recreate your future? Do not allow anyone to undermine your potentials and inner strength because you have a source which is connected to the heavenly kingdom. Be bold like a lion and act intelligently like an ant because that is your inheritance. Be not be deceived, you have an inheritance which is in Christ Jesus. You cannot be operating below your potentials because you have not utilized 5% of your brain. There is something inside of you that is awaiting an activation for you to start operating in the realm God wants you to.
