DOWNLOAD EBOOKYou are about to embark on a ride through a form of reality that few travel. The Other Side of the Street places you in the life of a paramedic in the early days of modern prehospital emergency care. These are true accounts that happened in a major metropolitan area of more than a million people from 1979 through the '80s. What you are about to read is true, unedited, unabridged, and told in the author's own words, taken from the daily notes he made and retained from the beginning of his tenure. Nothing is sugarcoated. Most of it is shocking. He holds nothing back as he recounts his experiences with cruel, wonderful, horrific, and foolish people and the incredible and deadly health decisions that he, his partners, and other emergency personnel made on a nightly basis. The ride through the streets is not glamorous. Working on the streets is difficult, real, and filled with all forms of violence, deception, racism, sex, drugs, alcohol, hate, and incompetence, not only among the health-care profession but within law enforcement and fire departments as well. Such topics are usually taboo, but anything goes when it comes to reality. Physical violence may come out of ignorance, but the author includes his own physical battles; some were in self-defense while others were made in retaliation against those who did unmentionable acts to others, including the elderly and even innocent children. For this form of reality is gut-wrenching. It tears at your inner fabric. From your first encounter to your last, you will travel through a world you didn't think existed. Be prepared for what lies between these two covers. After a series of six surgeries over a short period of twenty-eight months, the author is suddenly thrusted into another form of reality. His own life is coming to an end. He needs to tell his story so that others may see the truth. He needs to open the reader's eyes so that his can close in peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn a sticky summer morning at the end of the Eighties, 19-year-old Jason DeSena Trennert—a bright, unconnected Georgetown undergrad with big dreams and an even bigger power tie—set out for Wall Street. Mustering the perceived panache of the bigwigs, he burst through the doors of America's oldest financial firms. He was roundly rejected. And entirely undeterred. Trennert accepted a position as a cold-caller and charged ahead with the blind zeal of inexperience, finding in the process a genuine affinity for the customs and history of his work. Clinging to his dream from humble beginnings in financial sector Siberia—Morgan Stanley's Brooklyn outpost—and enduring the villainization of a respectable profession across two boom-bust cycles, he opened his own boutique company, now one of the world's leading research firms. Part memoir, part love letter to an institution popularly viewed as a necessary (or as just plain) evil, My Side of the Street delivers the long-overdue defense of the investment banking industry critiqued by Michael Lewis and others, illuminating the ethical and decent majority who take the subway, worry about mortgages, and keep the entire enterprise on its feet. Introducing the general reader to captains of finance, famous on The Street but invisible to outsiders, Trennert lays on display the absurdity and unbridled joy of big business—a comic tale of unlikely success in America's most notorious industry.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis “stirring…emotionally raw” (Publishers Weekly) young adult debut novel about three teens entangled by secret love, open hatred, and the invisible societal constraints wrapped around people both Black and white is perfect for readers of All American Boys and The Hate U Give. There is an unspoken agreement between the racially divided towns of Bayside and Hamilton: no one steps over the train tracks that divide them. Or else. Not until Zach Whitman anyway, a white boy who moves in from Philly and who dreams of music. When he follows his dream across the tracks to meet his idol, the famous jazz musician who owns The Sunlight Record Shop in Hamilton, he’s flung into Capri Collins’s path. Capri has big plans: she wants to follow her late mother’s famous footsteps, dancing her way onto Broadway, and leaving this town for good, just like her older brother, Justin, is planning to do when he goes off to college next year. As sparks fly, Zach and Capri realize that they can help each other turn hope into a reality, even if it means crossing the tracks to do it. But one tragic night changes everything. When Justin’s friend, the star of Hamilton’s football team, is murdered by a white Bayside police officer, the long-standing feud between Bayside and Hamilton becomes an all-out war. And Capri, Justin, and Zach are right in the middle of it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVia rigorous study of the legal arguments Spain developed to justify its acts of war and conquest, The Other Side of Empire illuminates Spain's expansionary ventures in the Mediterranean in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Andrew Devereux proposes and explores an important yet hitherto unstudied connection between the different rationales that Spanish jurists and theologians developed in the Mediterranean and in the Americas. Devereux describes the ways in which Spaniards conceived of these two theatres of imperial ambition as complementary parts of a whole. At precisely the moment that Spain was establishing its first colonies in the Caribbean, the Crown directed a series of Old World conquests that encompassed the Kingdom of Naples, Navarre, and a string of presidios along the coast of North Africa. Projected conquests in the eastern Mediterranean never took place, but the Crown seriously contemplated assaults on Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Palestine. The Other Side of Empire elucidates the relationship between the legal doctrines on which Spain based its expansionary claims in the Old World and the New. The Other Side of Empire vastly expands our understanding of the ways in which Spaniards, at the dawn of the early modern era, thought about religious and ethnic difference, and how this informed political thought on just war and empire. While focusing on imperial projects in the Mediterranean, it simultaneously presents a novel contextual background for understanding the origins of European colonialism in the Americas.
