BOOK DESCRIPTION: The CIRCLE is a fast-moving, action-packed story about a real, notorious gang of teenagers. They cared little about who they stomped, what vandalism they did, or whose car they swiped in their attempts to get back at the "codger" and "bags" of the community. The inside details of the many jobs they pulled, how the kids behave toward each other, and what they really think of adults is plainly revealed. Although the story is about teenagers and written for teenagers it is a gutsy book and not for the squeamish or chicken-hearted. The story will "turn off" most adults but it is MUST reading for those parents who refuse to understand their teenagers as a lesson in what can happen if their kids finally "tune them out". AUTHOR BIO: James A. Coleman is a retired college physics professor. However, he has spent a good deal of time as an unpaid street worker helping troubled youths, especially those who organized into street gangs. The CIRCLE is a fictionalised story of one of these gangs. Coleman is also a well-established author of science books for the layman.

This book wasn't meant to start with no ending. Mind you we sure had a beginning and a middle. It's about what happens when teenage rebellion runs out of steam. One day you wake up as someone else, up to your neck in drugs and guns. Exactly where it all started to go wrong was the same place as it began. 1981. LU7 Punks. Safety pins and stillettoes. It ended up in Andalucia with Corvettes and Brownings. Music was the only constant. It's no masterpiece but it's written and printed.

Have you ever wondered or noticed the millions of emotions in and around us? Some soothe us like the calm wind; some refresh us like the sprinkling rain. Some burn us like the scorching sun; some uproot us like the massive storm. It is worth pondering over the countless, immeasurable, invisible entities (emotions) inside us and around us (emotions of our community), which often create a roadmap for our behavior, expressions, decisions, and actions? Being able to differentiate amongst several emotions that appear to resemble each other supports in unnecessary entwining of emotions. This book uniquely categorizes emotions and explains the concept with simple, day-to-day life examples, making it light, interesting, thought-provoking, and a knowledgeable read. This book will empower the readers to get accustomed to different emotions. So, let’s embark on our journey to the world of emotions where we do not just feel but also learn to decode emotions.

After more than a decade in the United States, the Caribbean writer C. L. R. James ran afoul of McCarthyism in 1953 and was deported. In exile in London, he began to write stories in the form of letters to his four-year-old son ?Nobbie,? who remained in the States. Through a distinctive, imaginary, and sometimes absurd cast of characters?Good Boongko, Bad boo-boo-loo, Moby Dick, and Nicholas the worker, among others?these stories explore questions of friendship, conflict, community, ethics, and power in humorous and often ingenious ways; they also stand as a moving testament to a father?s struggle to be a vivid presence in the life of his son despite separation and distance. Attesting to James?s remarkable gifts as a writer and his unusual talent for engaging wide and diverse audiences, these witty and poignant stories, published here for the first time, are not just for James aficionados. Each story is a delight in its own way, making the book irresistible for children and adults alike.
