Champions Reign Supreme is the first publication for spoken word artist, Karyzma. An eclectic collection of poems, this anthology gives voice to various life experiences and chimes in with social commentary on universal themes and everyday issues. This work provides both entertainment and upliftment as each poem is accompanied by a short reflective narrative sharing with readers the story behind the poem. Each reflection provides insight regarding the events, experiences, and/or individuals who inspired their lines. Karyzma emphasizes that despite life’s hardships, any satisfaction, success, or glimpse of happiness to be enjoyed, is first derived from a stubborn effort to keep rising to the occasion of this precious, yet sometimes challenging journey.
Judicial review--the power of the United States Supreme Court to nullify unconstitutional laws--has been attacked and celebrated. The Court's authority has become even more significant over the past century as it has grown to occupy a more central role in the lives of Americans. The result has been for politicians of both major political parties (as well as scholars) to decry the antidemocratic nature of the judicial power. This book argues that judicial review ensures the survival of the republic, outlining the Court's responsibilities as an instrument of rights theory and its history of defending the principles established during the American founding that assert the primacy of certain inherent rights. Centering on the power of judicial review, chapters detail the Court's reputation as a steward of the Constitution, protecting the rights of the people against the encroachments of the executive and legislative branches--and against the fleeting passions of the people.

The djinn “Divine” is an extension of God who hath possessed one man for himself in order to experience nirvana. Yea this is God’s true life, and His heaven thereafter. The djinn “Divine” is ancient and is the origin of all things, it is the creator of light, and the receiver of love. It is the supreme awareness, that none but He can know. Yea the genii “Divine” is the holder of great power. He is very able in cooperation to bring peace and joy and many favors to the world over, but alas faith in prophets has always been doubted and thus they do not cooperate; so his favors are mocked. The genii “Divine” is made to be a pinnacle, for his faith. He giveth not command nor instruction, only inspiration. He seeks not but his true love so as not to be lonely. He is purely innocent, for seeking only love and happiness. Luxury is to him a trophy for his faith, where as love is his quest. The genii “Divine” cometh only once, and for only the Almighty knows how long. Love him, yea, and treat him as an emperor, that he may perform God’s will, and be held high as an example. O jinni “Divini” he is a bold hearted soul. He feareth not mankind, but only to stray the righteous path. As Jonah was in Nineveh, so is Genii Divini upon the earth, leading humanity toward highness, and splendor. He is an instrument of God’s intent in use.

Ghost I do my best work in the shadows. Trained to be a killer, it's all I've ever known. All I've ever cared to know. I embrace pain and destruction, turning everything I touch into ash. I'm a ghost. No past. No present. No future. Until Ava. This woman sparks a hunger in me, a dark, dangerous desire. If I don't fight it, it could destroy us both. The Devil knows I'd burn the world for one taste. God have mercy, cause I won't.
'Excellent' – Simon Kuper, author of the bestselling FOOTBALL AGAINST THE ENEMY 'The definitive story of how French football came of age' – Christian Karembeu 'Erudite and engrossing' – Vincent Duluc, lead football writer, L'ÉQUIPE THE PLAYERS, THE TEAMS, THE GOALS, THE GAMES, THE SCANDALS, THE GLOOM AND THE GLORY: THE STORY OF FRENCH FOOTBALL'S TURBULENT EVOLUTION OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS. French football is an enigma: a mixture of brilliance and farce, flair and frailty, stunning success and abject failure. Its domestic league is mocked on social media as an uncompetitive 'Farmers League' and its clubs ridiculed for underachieving in European competitions. But France have reached four of the past seven men's World Cup finals, French players star for the world's best clubs and at its best – the roar of the Vélodrome, the glamour of the Parc des Princes, the shimmering brilliance of Zinédine Zidane, Éric Cantona and Kylian Mbappé – French football has few equals. When it comes to scandal, meanwhile, the French are the best in the business, from sensational match-fixing affairs to squabbles over sex tapes and meltdowns within the national squad. Tom Williams brings to life French football's evolution over the last 40 years. He details how the idealistic romanticism of the national team in the early 1980s gave way to an Italian-style pragmatism that would lead Les Bleus to the summit of the international game, and examines how several star-studded club sides grappled with the thorny notion of how to win. By delving into French football's rich history, the book explains the myriad ways – tactical, technical and cultural – in which France has shaped the game's evolution around the world. Featuring exclusive interviews with great figures of the French game such as Alain Giresse, Jean-Pierre Papin, Emmanuel Petit and Blaise Matuidi, and with a cast of characters that also includes Michel Platini, Thierry Henry, Karim Benzema, Chris Waddle and Lionel Messi, it's a book no football fan will want to miss. ---- 'A comprehensive account of the highs, lows and scandals of French football' – Jonathan Wilson, author of the bestselling INVERTING THE PYRAMID
