DOWNLOAD EBOOK4e de couv.: Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong's tourist district, is home to a remarkably motley group of people. Traders, laborers, and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there, and even backpacking tourists rent rooms in what is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet. But as Ghetto at the center of the world shows us, the Mansions is a world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations -instead it epitomizes the way globalization actually works for most of the world's people. Through candid stories that both instruct and enthrall, Gordon Mathews lays bare the building's residents' intricate connections to the international circulation of goods, money, and ideas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDo you feel your life has been ruined or wasted? If so, "Magnificent Mansions" is for you. It may make you think again. This is a true story and a compelling discussion about hope for seemingly failed and unfulfilled lives. The discourse may challenge some paradigms and dogmas that unnecessarily frustrate and disappoint many Christians. The message intends for one to look at God, His work in us and through us. Matt Louis McCullough demonstrates through relatable and unique perspectives the freedom we can find loving and being loved by God and trusting His work in us. For decades the author lay awake at night praying to sense some specific purpose and direction but experienced only long periods of silence. He withdraws to the grand arenas of nature and reflects on his outings. Whether within the mountains or oceans, he receives glimpses of the sublime nature of God. Yet Matt finds the most spectacular views are of the rooms being built in the Father's house. The answers were there before him all along. By scriptural revelations and seeing the noblest presence in earthly dwellings, he finds new hope about the room Christ makes for him. May you, too, have this hope and a good glimpse of the magnificent place and life He is preparing for you. Even out of the refuse, God is building a glorious life for His children. And it is grander than we realize!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA tangled web of family dysfunction, fatal attraction, and greed wends its way from the elegant Southern mansions of old Montgomery, Alabama, to the New Age salons of Boulder and rural, windswept Wyoming in Drifting Into Darkness, a true saga of bloodshed and betrayal. Two grisly murders—a brutal double parricide—a suicide, and a fourth death under suspicious circumstances. Drifting Into Darkness is a tangled tale of family dysfunction, fatal attraction, and greed, a saga that wends its way from the elegant Southern mansions of Montgomery, Alabama, to the New Age salons of Boulder, Colorado, to rural, windswept Wyoming. On Thanksgiving weekend in 2004, philanthropists Charlotte and Brent Springford Sr.―a wealthy, socially prominent Montgomery couple―were brutally beaten to death with an ax handle, echoing the infamous case of Lizzie Borden. Suspicion quickly fell on the Springfords' gifted but troubled son Brent Jr., who would be tried and sentenced to life without parole. But a mystery remained: Who was the mysterious, elusive woman who claimed to be a Native American shaman that investigators believed manipulated Brent into this murder? Journalists solving murders is a time-tested trope in movies, mysteries, and on television. But cops and cop reporters know that rarely happens in real life. Except when it does. Veteran crime reporter Mark I. Pinsky, who covered the sensational cases of serial killer Ted Bundy and Green Beret Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, broke the cardinal rule of journalism by involving himself in the story. Pinsky’s extensive research prompted investigators to invite him to join their dogged pursuit of justice. His access to unique and heart-breaking behind-the-scenes material enables him to take readers with him into the troubled, tortured minds of the case's main players.
