Under A Cloud is, simply, very good." -Marilyn Olsen, president, Public Safety Writers Association Matt Holland and Rachel Cook, two of the most highly regarded of 'New York's Finest, ' are involved in a fateful shooting that ravages a city, becomes the focus of a landmark civil rights case, and powerfully reshapes the lives of those most closely touched by the incident. The white officers' accidental and tragic shooting of an innocent black teen in a poverty-stricken Brooklyn neighborhood triggers a bitter racial confrontation, along with lengthy investigations and political maneuverings that threaten to destroy a community, shatter lives and overwhelm the truth. As the riveting drama unfolds, both the officers and the family of the slain teen become immersed in intense inner crises, as they struggle to come to terms with the tragedy and its impact on their lives. In the process, they come to experience first-hand the stereotypes, hatred and fears that can divide us as a people-and the actions and emotions that can ultimately bond and help us heal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born shortly before the beginning of the Great Depression, Sara Hall Kemp recalls the story of her life, full of success, tragedy and family bonds. At an early age she learns the hard lessons of loss and personal strength. Moving from farm to farm along the Glade near Acworth Georgia, the family was supported by her fathers farming and odd jobs. Farmers were hit hard during the Depression in the 1930¿s. But for many, farming was the only way their families could be fed. As her family perseveres through countless hardships and tender moments, Sara speaks of the love that holds a family together. It was very hard for farmer¿s children to get an education; everyone had to work. Her determination to finish school was not to be denied. She sometimes had to walk four miles to and from school. Through her military service and later career, Sara stands up for her own convictions. Here, she passes on those convictions and a faith in God to her own family and to the reading audience. Strength and determination taught Sara how to live her own life and put her trust in God. There is much to learn from such a strong woman.

Download or read book Empire of Cotton written by Sven Beckert and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE • A Pulitzer Prize finalist that's as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist. “Masterly … An astonishing achievement.” —The New York Times The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today. In a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful politicians recast the world’s most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to make and remake global capitalism.
