Download or read book All or Nothing written by Preston L. Allen and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “funny, relentless, haunting, and highly readable” novel about one man’s desperate gambling addiction (ForeWord Magazine). P is a school bus driver in Florida, and six month ago he won a hundred grand at the casino. What his wife and family don’t realize is that the money is long gone. To keep them fooled—and feed his ongoing compulsion—he indulges in bigger and bigger bets, scrounging for cash anywhere he can. Finally, faced with the ultimate financial crisis, he hits it really big. Yet winning, he soon learns, is just the beginning of a deeper problem . . . “Allen takes his place on a continuum that begins, perhaps, with Dostoyevsky’s Gambler, courses through Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano, William S. Burroughs’s Junky, [and] the collected works of Charles Bukowski and Hubert Selby Jr. . . . colorfully evokes the gambling milieu.” —The New York Times Book Review “This is strongly recommended and deserves a wide audience; an excellent choice for book discussion groups.” —Library Journal
Download or read book Decades Behind Bars written by Gaye D. Holman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two million people are incarcerated in America's prisons--one in nine is serving a life sentence. Mass long-term imprisonment devours state budgets, adversely affects community well-being and skews our collective moral compass. This study examines the human costs of keeping the convicted out of sight, out of mind. Beginning in 1994, the author began recording the personal stories of 50 incarcerated felons--17 of them were still in prison 20 years later. The men candidly discuss what it means to commit a serious crime and to be confined for perhaps the remainder of their lives. Their stories are balanced by conversations with correctional officers, prison administrators, chaplains and parole board members. The author identifies circumstances that ruin some prisoners and save others and presents insights for possible improvements in the criminal justice system.
Download or read book This Shimmering Life written by Don C. Nix J.D. Ph.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are evolving rapidly. Its a good thing, because we have exhausted this current phase in the unfolding evolution of our consciousness. For a couple of millennia, we have been wholly trapped in separateness. In the last 400 years, we also have been trapped in the mesmerizing material world. It has produced a worldview with a vision of the Cosmos as a dead, empty void, mechanically revolving like clockwork, with only a few bits of life, like ourselves, in it. This worldview has left us in desolation and despair. Now things are shifting. All over the world, a new consciousness is emerging. Spawned in large part by the discoveries of quantum physics, this new awareness is moving us toward a re-ensoulment of the world. We are realizing that the Cosmos is awake and aware, and that livingness and consciousness are elements of Its primordial nature. We are realizing, incrementally, that the unfolding of the Cosmos is a single, seamless, creative event, and that we are the end product of that vast emergence. We are realizing that the story of the Cosmos, from the Big Bang to us, is our story, and that we are the Cosmos in human form. This awareness traces ancient realizations, literally thousands of years old. We are now recapturing Living Divinity, which exists all around us, and of which we are an integral part. It comes not a moment too soon.

Book excerpt: For the culture, the mystic who swallowed the moon made a tale out of it all. For some people, life is no fun without a trance. They need something pretty to keep them stuck in inspiration, but they fatally miss the point. As sadness goes, its on the top-five list, but no one cares. Theres a way to use and work with God and make insanity your tool, but the burden of incite has too many burning traits. To have things like that requires sharp eyes, a terrible crisis, and very much forgettable ancestors. The Lighter Side to Darkness is a colorful tale from the yesteryears of EnRe San. It was a time where my only wish was to keep the sky blue, but going gray meant harmony, and attacking the soul meant I didnt have to go for blood. Theres an inherent strength in pain thats best known when you let chaos take advantage of you, so I went for blood too. You can be raped, be betrayed, or be in the middle of a worldly possession; if its so good that you forgot that you can still kick everyones ass, then I call that a reason to learn. Because just like swallowing the moon, you officially have a friend in mastering your emotions.
