Book excerpt: Crooked Out of Compton is about the other California. These locations hover below the gaze of many acquisition editors and are underrepresented in poems and prose written about west coast places. The speculative opening story, Afixa?, takes place in 2033. From Ulan Mohammed's view, it addresses the still unsolved homelessness issue, an unemployed school food service worker. Ulan miraculously resists the detrimental symptoms of his situation due to his genetic makeup and, in turn, discovers that he has part of the solution for the unhoused. Sheriff's deputy Daniel Brown finds how difficult institutional change is when he questions the status quo in "Job Collateral Lies Dead on Compton Creek." Trina Thomas confronts several obstacles when trying to rescue her younger brother from his heinous foster mom, Starkaña Wilkerson. Trella Tapia finally finds the right job for her but must survive Kane Hospital emergency room to make it to her first day at work on time. Leland Otis Dunwitty meets Mysteree, his first love, and finds how difficult relationships can be when lovers come from different track sides. Otis' life spirals out of control in "Otis Elevates" until he lands a job at the mental health center in "Leland O. Dunwitty's Square Circle Edumacation." Fred Woodson tries to introduce his eighty-seven-year-old mother to walking as exercise to keep her alive longer but discovers that the task is not so easy when living in South L.A. When interviewed by newswoman Xochi De León, recovering hospital janitor Tallent Neal confronts his own past when faced with new permissive attitudes toward marijuana in "Weed Killers." That same janitor must confront generational change when he searches for his runaway granddaughter in "Out There on the Track." Fred Woodson comes to grip with mortality when forced to take his 88-year-old mother to the emergency room in "Pregnancy Test." These gritty stories show how people find hope and even joy in lives where basic needs are hard to meet.

Download or read book Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan written by Robert W. Fenton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like millions of other readers and moviegoers, as a youngster the late Robert W. Fenton loved swinging through the jungle with Tarzan. As an adult his interest was revived when he bought Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana, California, and began writing a biography of Burroughs. Originally titled The Big Swingers, it was the first full-scale, commercially published account of ERB's life and work. Here is Fenton's 1967 biography, back in print, as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising--he was dropped from school, was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway--and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time. A new foreword by George T. McWhorter and new photographs--there are 66 in all--are included.
Download or read book It Don t Matter Amor Regge Senza Legge Love Rules Without Rules or Laws written by Norman E. Edelen and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every trilogy needs an ending. It Don’t Matter: Amor Regge Senza Legge (Love Rules Without Rules or Laws) – The Third Novel in the Trilogy After a While You Wonder puts a proper period at the end of this series. Author Norman E. Edelen wraps up the story begun in After a While You Wonder and Tuesday After Next. It Don’t Matter starts with a new “dead or alive” search, this time for married DEA Agent Karen B. Doupchek, reportedly killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Doupchek’s single Joint Task Force partner, Treasury Agent Kevin A. Moore, refuses to believe she is dead. Recounting hearing Karen, as an apparition, saying to him on 9/11, “Wait for me, Kevin. I’m coming back to you.” Obsessed to find out what happened to Karen but unable to get help from the inside with government agencies that ought to know if she is dead, Kevin turns to the outside for help. He turns to people connected with the JTF’s target of interest, suspected drug laundering ex-L.A. cop Carl Quincy “Q” Sanes. It’s a very high-risk quid pro quo that seems destined to fail. Beguiling revelations, bizarre circumstances, and consequences with romantic twists make this a most intriguing read.

Download or read book A Physicist Remembers written by Richard J. Weiss and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Physicist Remembers traces the effort to measure electron charge, spin, and momentum density on atoms and solids and to compare experiment with theory. Since the complexity of electron arrangements leads to subtle property changes in atoms, molecules and solids, theory and experiment have generally differed by about 1%. The Sagamore conferences have made inroads in reducing this difference. Since 1963 the triennial Sagamore conferences have been held in New York, France, Russia, Finland, Portugal, Germany, Canada, Japan, and England, attracting thousands of participants. Richard J Weiss, original organizer of these conferences, describes the evolution of the X-ray, neutron, and positron probes employed in these measurements. He has performed research with Francis Jenkins at the University of California at Berkeley, Simon Pasternack at Brookhaven National Laboratory, John Slater and B Warren at MIT, Peter Wohlfarth at Imperial College London, M Hart at King''s College London, and Sir N Mott at Cavendish Laboratory.

Download or read book Life in the Gang written by Scott H. Decker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on three years of field work with 99 active gang members and 24 family members. The book describes the attractiveness of gangs, the process of joining, their chaotic and loose organisation, and their members' predominant activities - mostly hanging out, drinking, and using drugs. The authors also discuss gang members' rather slapdash involvement in major property crime and their disorganised participation in drug traffic, as well as the often fatal consequences of their violent life-style. Although the book focuses on the individual, organisational, and institutional aspects of gang membership, it also explores gang members' involvement with other school and neighborhood structures. Extensive interviews with family members provide groundbreaking insights into the gang members' lives. As much as possible, however, the story is told in the gang members' own words.
