Book excerpt: Angelo’s business in Newark is being squeezed by a local mob, the Paneladros. His own indiscretions do not help. His wife’s religious confession conducted in a priest’s own private residence further add to his troubles. The constant draining from Angelo’s cash registers drives him to despair. He thinks of alternative means of riches lying across the Atlantic away from the prying eyes of the local hoodlums. Based on hot intelligence hacked out of Rome and supplied by Giacomo, he sets on an action plan to acquire ownership of a London Car Dealership. By deceit, and force if need be. He assigns his four star general and faithful henchman - Johnny ‘4 Fingers’ Bristow - to carry out the complex task. Using a French high-fashion model and a brand new car, Angelo lures this old retired but slowly fading English playboy gentleman now living in Modena and driving a Maserati. The predator: Jaqueline du Bois. The prey: Frank Costanzo. The car: a Bugatti. Most of this drama takes place in Italy ... where else could one exploit the depths of culture, immerse oneself in colourful characters, and feel a part in tough and romantic one-on-one conversations that would keep you captivated, entertained, and at times laughing heartily.
Download or read book Capers in the Churchyard written by Lee Hall and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book'¿¿s unusual title recalls a six-year campaign to end the breeding of guinea pigs at an English farm; the cover depicts the churchyard where the body of the guinea pig farmer's mother-in-law was stolen during a pressure campaign. Lee Hall takes militancy as a starting point to assess a movement that is alternately coercive or co-opted (through organizations that tout humane farming advancements). Either way, the root problem is sidestepped: Militancy doesn'¿¿t address demand, and handling reform doesn'¿¿t slow the expansion of agribusiness that displaces nature (witness wild horses being rounded up and removed from land desired by ranchers). Rather than focusing on pain -- a key survival mechanism that industrialists would gladly breed out of animals -- this book presses the question of whether animals should be used at all. In the process, various advocacy styles are assessed for their impact on society, activists themselves, and the law. Psychologist Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson offers a foreword commending Hall for advancing animal-rights thinking, insisting that effective advocacy does not force change, but shifts the mental ground people stand on, inspires epiphany, and moves things closer to how they ought to be.The book's call -- despite, as reviewer Eric Prescott writes, the difficulty some may have in heeding it -- could focus a scattered and divided population of advocates to effectively drive a vital mission for the future of Earth'¿¿s conscious life.
Download or read book The Odditorium written by David Bramwell and published by Nicholas Brealey. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I LOVE THE BOOK... A BRILLIANT READ' Chris Evans, Radio 2 Breakfast Show 'This book, that I approached with caution, turns out to be magnificent. Tested it with the Moondog entry. Passed A+' Danny Baker, Radio 5Live A CELEBRATION OF CURIOSITY AND OBSESSION Step into a world of gloriously unpredictable characters such as Ivor Cutler, Quentin Crisp, Joe Orton, Reginald Bray, Ken Campbell, Screaming Lord Sutch, Sun Ra, Buckminster Fuller, Timothy Leary and Ayn Rand. The Odditorium is a playful re-telling of history, told not through the lens of its victors, but through the fascinating stories of a wealth of individuals who, while lesser-known, are no less remarkable. Throughout its pages you'll learn about the antics and adventures of tricksters, eccentrics, deviants and inventors. While their stories range from heroic failures to great hoaxes, one thing unites them - they all carved their own path through life. Each protagonist exemplifies the human spirit through their dogged determination, willingness to take risks, their unflinching obsession and, often, a good dollop of eccentricity. Learn about Reginald Bray (1879-1939), a Victorian accountant who sent over 30,000 singular objects through the mail, including himself; Muriel Howorth (1886-1971), the housewife who grew giant peanuts using atomic energy; and Elaine Morgan (1920-2013), a journalist who battled a tirade of prejudice to pursue an aquatic-based theory of human evolution, which is today being championed by David Attenborough. While many of us are content to lead a conventional life, with all of its comfort and security, The Odditorium reminds us of the characters who felt compelled to carve their own path, despite risking ostracism, failure, ridicule and madness. Outsider artists, linguists, scientists, time travellers and architects all feature in The Odditorium, each of whom risked ostracism, ridicule and even madness in pursuit of carving their own esoteric path, changing the world in wonderful ways.
