DOWNLOAD EBOOKWidely believed to be the most extreme incident of white racial violence against African Americans in modern United States history, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre resulted in the destruction of over one thousand black-owned businesses and homes as well as the murder of between fifty and three hundred black residents. Exhaustively researched and critically acclaimed, Scott Ellsworth’s Death in a Promised Land is the definitive account of the Tulsa race riot and its aftermath, in which much of the history of the destruction and violence was covered up. It is the compelling story of racial ideologies, southwestern politics, and incendiary journalism, and of an embattled black community’s struggle to hold onto its land and freedom. More than just the chronicle of one of the nation’s most devastating racial pogroms, this critically acclaimed study of American race relations is, above all, a gripping story of terror and lawlessness, and of courage, heroism, and human perseverance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe dark, sinister crime novel of a bygone era, portrayed so convincingly in the works of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, has made an impressive resurgence. This novel follows in the footsteps of these trailblazers, featuring a bulldog P.I. out to foil saboteurs in war-time Los Angeles. Based on an actual historic event involving major corporations, the story unravels the probable motivations of the bad guys. Here is all the magic that was Hollywood a few decades ago-- the blondes, the weasels, the innocents and the abusers. In the middle of a war, people squeezed a lot of good times into whatever time they had left. Nick Black, excop turned P.I., got sucked into the maelstrom and found himself playing hide-and-seek with the Grim Reaper.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman capital theory, or the notion that there is a direct relationship between educational investment and individual and national prosperity, has dominated public policy on education and labor for the past fifty years. In The Death of Human Capital?, Phillip Brown, Hugh Lauder, and Sin Yi Cheung argue that the human capital story is one of false promise: investing in learning isn't the road to higher earnings and national prosperity. Rather than abandoning human capital theory, however, the authors redefine human capital in an age of smart machines. They present a new human capital theory that rejects the view that automation and AI will result in the end of waged work, but see the fundamental problem as a lack of quality jobs offering interesting, worthwhile, and rewarding opportunities. A controversial challenge to the reigning ideology, The Death of Human Capital? connects with a growing sense that capitalism is in crisis, felt by students and the wider workforce, shows what's at stake in the new human capital while offering hope for the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSpoiler alert...I die. Right at the beginning too. I don't even make it past chapter one, but that's just when things start to get interesting. This story is absolutely filled with Death. Death, Death, Death, Death, Death. I mean it...Death is on practically every page. When He takes my soul and plunges it into the river of time you'd think there wouldn't be much left to tell, but Id beg to differ if you'll take the time to listen. Not that there's much of time left...Still, I can try. Do you like tales of heroes? villains? Angels and demons...God? Do you care for epic adventures woven in and out of time itself with the most exotic of locals and characters? Perhaps you fancy action. Graphic battles entirely NOT intended for the faint of heart. Do you choose your stories based on their ability to make you laugh or cry...grit your teeth in anger or cheer for victory? Then, I'd have to say that, in my humblest opinion, this book is a great choice. You will find all these things and so much more as you read of a simple nobody who finds that he is far more important than he could ever imagine. Worlds collide to swirl in uncertain mirth before revealing a reality so fantastical that even I, an associate of Death, was left in awe at the revelation of the mystery. Do I have your attention? Good...Let's talk.
