Up to Heaven and Down to Hell
Author: Colin Jerolmack
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691220263
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
A riveting portrait of a rural Pennsylvania town at the center of the fracking controversy Shale gas extraction—commonly known as fracking—is often portrayed as an energy revolution that will transform the American economy and geopolitics. But in greater Williamsport, Pennsylvania, fracking is personal. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell is a vivid and sometimes heartbreaking account of what happens when one of the most momentous decisions about the well-being of our communities and our planet—whether or not to extract shale gas and oil from the very land beneath our feet—is largely a private choice that millions of ordinary people make without the public's consent. The United States is the only country in the world where property rights commonly extend "up to heaven and down to hell," which means that landowners have the exclusive right to lease their subsurface mineral estates to petroleum companies. Colin Jerolmack spent eight months living with rural communities outside of Williamsport as they confronted the tension between property rights and the commonwealth. In this deeply intimate book, he reveals how the decision to lease brings financial rewards but can also cause irreparable harm to neighbors, to communal resources like air and water, and even to oneself. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell casts America’s ideas about freedom and property rights in a troubling new light, revealing how your personal choices can undermine your neighbors’ liberty, and how the exercise of individual rights can bring unintended environmental consequences for us all.

His quest for fortune and glory continues in Hollywood, where he intends to make his mark in the motion picture industry.

A year later, battling loneliness and sexual addiction, he¿s working in the pornography business. His only friends are the stray pets he takes in. Jordan eventually falls in with Helltown, an underground cult obsessed with the notion that the U.S. government is conspiring with the movie industry and corporate America to control the minds of the American public. Jordan becomes The Midnight Man, a superhero experiment created and enhanced by the Helltown cult in order to steal the thunder of the motion picture industry and bring to light the evils being unleashed on the movie-going public¿the same public that condemned the once-graceful hero. A war hero makes his way to Hollywood, where his attempts to become a star are derailed by a world of sex and perversion.

After nearly finishing off Hitler and winning acclaim for his heroic exploits, the Jewish Jordan heads to California to seek his fortune. Just as it seems Lucky's about to catch his first break, scandal erupts when he's photographed in a compromising position with several underage girls. Disgraced, he fades away from the movie scene and uses his unique combination of talents for the benefit of Madame Mona, pleasure-provider extraordinaire. As a bodyguard and gigolo, Lucky exacts revenge on the men who set him up by sexually pleasing their wives. His life of sexual addiction is ultimately unsatisfying... thrilling homage to pulp magazines and golden-age comic books¿ -Kirkus Discoveries
