Book Description
'Hollow Points' is a biography which is both delightfully innocent and brutally graphic. It follows the life of a 'baby boomer migrant child' who enjoys simplistic days of sibling loyalty and rivalry, and as with most families, many secret adventures. Although the life of the author became a tangled mess of child abuse, sexual abuse and domestic violence, she clung to the belief that there as a better life. After her estranged husband stalked her and shot her seven times before taking his own life, her journey became a blur of depression and broken relationships. With only herself to rely on, the author struggles with mental health issues, financial hardships, and parental rejection at her greatest time of need. The author recognised that thee is a greater life than that of a 'survivor', and she was driven to push forward and become a 'thriver'. This book makes compelling reading for those who like 'survival stories', but it will be of particular interest to those who have suffered abuse and are seeking a fulfilling life. We have the power to set ourselves free.

Handbook of Handguns

Publisher: Lulu.com

Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
In light of the 2nd Amendment debates, shooting may become the national passtime. To act responsibly within the 2nd Amendment, means knowing how to properly "bear arms". Knowing involves understanding firearm types, firearm operation, ammunition, internal ballistics, and shooting. These require training, especially shooting. Whether you own or plan to own a handgun for recreation, competition, or self-defense, training is of the utmost importance. When you fire a projectile (bullet) from a firearm, you are responsible for where it goes. You need to understand how fast it travels, how far it can travel, and how accurate your firearm is in delivering the projectile to your intended target. Yes, bearing arms is a right, but not one to be taken lightly. Firing a handgun is a grave responsibility and must be done correctly and with a full understanding of all the components that make up "shooting".

The Legend of the Black Mecca
Author: Maurice J. Hobson
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469635364
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
For more than a century, the city of Atlanta has been associated with black achievement in education, business, politics, media, and music, earning it the nickname "the black Mecca." Atlanta's long tradition of black education dates back to Reconstruction, and produced an elite that flourished in spite of Jim Crow, rose to leadership during the civil rights movement, and then took power in the 1970s by building a coalition between white progressives, business interests, and black Atlantans. But as Maurice J. Hobson demonstrates, Atlanta's political leadership--from the election of Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first black mayor, through the city's hosting of the 1996 Olympic Games--has consistently mishandled the black poor. Drawn from vivid primary sources and unnerving oral histories of working-class city-dwellers and hip-hop artists from Atlanta's underbelly, Hobson argues that Atlanta's political leadership has governed by bargaining with white business interests to the detriment of ordinary black Atlantans. In telling this history through the prism of the black New South and Atlanta politics, policy, and pop culture, Hobson portrays a striking schism between the black political elite and poor city-dwellers, complicating the long-held view of Atlanta as a mecca for black people.
