Book excerpt: Janelle Daley is 19 years of age, lives in Ajax Ontario and she is currently in school for broadcasting and film.

Her first official poetry contest was won in high school around grade 9 and every since then she couldn't stop. It quickly transformed from a hobby, into a passion and then straight into an addiction. No matter where she was or who she was with nothing stopped her from writing. Her mother had no idea that she wrote, and when she finally showed her the collection of poems was she in awe. Her father knew right away that this was something she would strive in.

Download or read book Open Veins of Latin America written by Eduardo Galeano and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably. This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.

Book excerpt: "Fans of John Grisham will find much to like here." —Library Journal Confession is good for the soul, but it could mean death to an ambitious young lawyer. Assistant DA Holt Douglas has made a career of getting confessions from criminals. With a confession in hand, he knows a guilty plea is soon to follow. In the midst of professional success, Holt is haunted by a secret—a lie he buried in the grave of his best friend. Holt’s crime is hidden from all eyes—family, friends, police, and his soon-to-be fiancé. But the truth has a way of coming back to life. With obsessive prosecutorial zeal, Holt reopens a cold case involving the death of the town’s wealthiest citizen. The man’s death was ruled a suicide, but Holt suspects murder. Facing fierce opposition, he is determined to expose the killer. Holt slowly begins to unravel the facts. And comes face-to-face with his own guilty conscience. With his job, his relationship with the woman he loves, and his future at risk, Holt skirts the boundary between truth and lies, confession and hypocrisy, redemption and ruin. Can he survive long enough to finally make the right choice? “Readers will find plenty to love about this suspenseful novel as they watch its appealing main character juggle personal, professional, and spiritual crisis with a combination of vulnerability and strength.” —CBA Retailers and Resources, regarding The Living Room
Download or read book A Chaplain s Last Confession written by Robert Tito Memminger and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very true life history written by a chaplain. Father Tito is the writer of his life. He’s known by many different names yet I believe Father Tito best tells who he is. If there seems to be confusion in his life’s story, that’s because I don’t believe he never really knew who he was. He had been a compassionate chaplain. He was a merciless killer. He spoke out against many, not making him the most popular man at times. Thus he had many enemies. He especially spoke against the injustices of his own government. He went after the bullies of the Belt Way who created wars for just shear profit. His jangled life began without any control over his existence. It continued such until his later years. His chief controller was his own country, the United States of America. With all the covert acts of patriotic duty he was never recognized. He was a hidden secret in his country. He had been stripped of his existence. No awards, applauses, thank you or even “up yours.” This compassionate chaplain became a hit man for his country, not totally out of patriotic loyalty, but because his parents’ lives were threatened. Therefore he completed covert missions created for him especially, since he was a genius. If you have trouble following the contents of this true story it’s because you’re walking inside the brain of a genius, a tortured child prodigy. A mind that’s forever in movement. Twisted thoughts. Reminiscent events of the past. His mind full of real information. Terror inside because of the demons of the past pop up. Demonic confusion utters or screams from his mouth. He talks incessantly, not always in any type of the average chronological brain, the order of the average man Tito’s order is scrambled, dictated to him to speak by his overactive mind. So again, be patient and you will discover a man persecuted by the realms surrounding him-----family, friends, church, country and the world.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign capital and free trade policies have provoked fierce conflicts in South America in recent years. People in Colombia and Peru engaged in often violent clashes to defend their livelihoods against the encroachments of the free market and the impositions of Wall Street. Farmers organized to save their lands from foreign mining corporations, and cities fought to save their water from contamination. Native Americans blocked highways to preserve ancestral lands, while students paralyzed universities and called for reforms to higher education. The shift toward socialism in Venezuela, led by President Hugo Chavez, was bitterly opposed by privileged groups. Governments tried to quell the turmoil through repression, political maneuvering and propaganda. This book provides a dramatic account of the struggles.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Oil Nation Venezuela written by Carlos A. Rossi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why Venezuela is so rich in natural resources—it has been producing oil since 1922 and harbors the largest oil reserves in the world—and yet it is also a failed nation of class-divided citizens exhibiting deep poverty in a corrupt, incompetent state. Venezuela is a bipolar nation, where two marked poles in the society exist which have historical origins and are mutually exclusive. The book provides a critical analysis of Venezuela's history, economy and politics and explains the context and implications of the bipolar poles, known as the elite pole and the resentful pole. Both, it shows, have done serious harm to Venezuela’s prosperity. The author describes the vicious circle of oil wealth, corruption, inefficiency and world market dependency and gives recommendations for a better future.
