Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
In 2015, Booklist observed, “the arrival of Hauser’s annual boxing review is akin to Christmas morning for fight fans. Nobody knows a sport any better than Hauser knows boxing.” Each year, readers, writers, and critics alike look forward to Thomas Hauser’s annual collection of articles about the contemporary boxing scene. He’s one of the last real champions of boxing and one of the very best who has ever written about the sport. A Hard World continues this tradition of excellence with dressing-room reports from big fights like Canelo Alvarez vs. Miguel Cotto, a behind-the-scenes look at Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, and a foray into the world of mixed martial arts for a compelling portrait of Ronda Rousey. Most importantly, this new collection contains Hauser’s groundbreaking two-part investigative report on the relationship between the United States Anti-Doping Agency and boxing, a report that shook the industry and raised fundamental questions regarding the integrity of USADA’s drug-testing procedures as applied to boxing.

Book Description
A laugh-out-loud debut novel about the minefield that is unemployment, the pursuit of the ultimate career, and the annoying habit of falling in love at inconvenient times. Sarah Pelletier is unemployed and in a very bad mood. Her film company has tanked—right before Christmas, no less—leaving her with one lousy swivel chair and a lifetime supply of paper clips. Her headhunter is a fool who can’t pronounce her name; her irritatingly gorgeous roommate’s idea of a fun time is to drag her to pink-slip parties; and, to top it all off, her last twelve bucks are trapped in a Metro Card. Something has got to give. So begins one smart twentysomething’s quest for the right job in New York City. After extricating herself from a morass of self-pity strewn with candy bar wrappers and wine bottles, Sarah turns to the all-important task of padding her résumé—while artfully dodging her parents’ attempts to bribe her into law school. Of course, padding your résumé puts you in jeopardy of being construed as over-qualified. In which case you might try unpadding your résumé, which then puts you in danger of being labeled inexperienced. Which leaves you with the option of stalking your ex-boss in the hope that she’ll drag you along in her ascent to greatness in another company. Unless she stabs you in the back first. Meanwhile, when a temp job saddles her with a massive crush on a Brooklyn-dwelling dreamboat named Jake, Sarah’s already full plate is crowded with lust, jealousy, and mild obsession, just when she’s trying to be professional. This hilarious first novel from a confident new voice in women’s fiction offers a pitch-perfect take on the dignity-whittling survival game of job hunting—starring a lovably neurotic heroine whose problems ring refreshingly true.

Forging the Iron Lady
Author: Terrence Casey
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040267807
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 543
Book Description
This book tells the story of the rise of Margaret Thatcher in the context of crises assailing Britain in the 1970s and how her ascent to power ushered in the neoliberal era. Forging the Iron Lady details her journey from relative obscurity to the pinnacle of power as a collective, as well as personal, tale and how an uncertain chain of events, influenced through ideas and political agency, opened the path to certain outcomes while throwing up barriers to others. It is her “origin story” as the Iron Lady. It examines a dramatic phase in her political advance and how the tumultuous politics of the 1970s shaped her as a politician and her political ideals, and how the conditions necessary to bring about major political-economic changes were created, leading to three decades of neoliberalism. In doing so, this book offers a better understanding of the political conditions needed for a change in political-economic orders. This book is of key interest to scholars, students, and readers of British politics and history, Thatcherism, political parties, elections, executive, and elite politics.

Luvin a Young Ratchet City Boss

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Raylexia Gavion had been carrying the weight of her world for as long as she could remember. From taking care of her siblings after her grandmother passed to juggling school and work, she’d been in survival mode since she was a child. But Raylexia? She was more than just a survivor. She was a hustler, and she wasn’t about to let life or circumstances knock her down. No, Raylexia was focused—locked in on her goals and determined to make it out the mud. She walked the fine line between street smarts and book knowledge, knowing one without the other wouldn’t be enough. School, despite its challenges, was a means to an end for her. The classroom was just another battlefield, where grades were the currency for her future. Every class, every assignment, every test—she handled them like a boss. But even with all that, the responsibilities at home were never far from her mind. Her siblings depended on her. They didn’t ask for it, but Raylexia had become the glue holding them all together, even when her world felt like it was coming apart at the seams. From making sure homework was done to getting food on the table, she played every role necessary: sister, parent, and sometimes counselor when things got too real. Still, Raylexia’s dream was bigger than her day-to-day hustle. She wasn’t about to let her current situation define her future. She had a vision—one that would pull her and her family out of the struggle for good. Owning a business, being her own boss, and creating something that would last—something no one could take away from her. Her friend Shamena always had a thing for hair, Deana for fashion, Shayla for decoration and Johnya for touch massage. They all had a knack for making people look and feel good. Cosmetology seemed like the path. But more than that, it was their way out. While some of their peers were chasing guys and living for the moment, Raylexia and her friends were planning, stacking their money, and plotting their next moves. That’s where our crew was different from the rest. We weren’t just friends; we were each other’s backup. Deana, Shamena, Johnya, and Shayla—each of them had their own struggles, but together, they were a force. They understood Raylexia’s drive because they had their own ambitions too. It wasn’t just about surviving the streets or getting by; it was about rising above it, building something that would last. It started small—late-night talks after shifts, brainstorming sessions over cold pizza. But soon, the vision became real. Raylexia, with her natural leadership and business acumen, led the charge. They pooled their resources, saved every dollar, and made sacrifices that others couldn’t understand. It wasn’t glamorous, but nothing worth having ever was. They hit the grind, balancing jobs, family obligations, and their hustle on the side. “We gon' make it, y’all. Just wait,” Raylexia would say, her voice steady, eyes sharp with focus. She believed it. And when she spoke, the others believed it too.
