Book Description
It’s 2003 and the streets of South Central Los Angeles are at war. Elijah “Lil 9-Lives” Hassahn has put his gangster life behind him and is thriving with his family in his newfound wealth; but the past keeps coming back to haunt him. After four years in hiding, Lil Teflon is back with a bloodlust for revenge. Enemies hide in plain sight and an uprising begins. The Tiny Toons, the next generation of gangsters, play hard and fast with the rules, aiming to take the reins of the Nine-Os for themselves. A new threat arises when a major player in the Set is murdered. The finger of blame points in Elijah’s direction, and now he must either swallow his pride and keep the peace or revert to the violent man he used to be. Big 9-Lives and Big Teflon are pulled into the fray to calm the tensions, but lines are blurred between friend and foe. Meanwhile, Elise struggles to find balance in her new life with Elijah, the illicit drug trade, and her tortured past. As loyalties to brothers and friends are tested, Elijah is spinning out of control toward the point of no return. Can he make peace with a childhood friend who wronged him, or will he immerse himself back into the bloodshed of the urban trenches? In this provocative sequel in the Land Of No Pity series, it’s do or die and only the strong will survive.

Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Nothing in the papers, not the most vivid and heart-rending descriptions, have made me realise war like your letters' Vera Brittain to Roland Leighton, 17 April 1915. This selection of letters, written between 1913 & 1918, between Vera Brittain and four young men - her fiance Roland Leighton, her brother Edward and their close friends Victor Richardson & Geoffrey Thurlow present a remarkable and profoundly moving portrait of five young people caught up in the cataclysm of total war. Roland, 'Monseigneur', is the 'leader' & his letters most clearly trace the path leading from idealism to disillusionment. Edward, ' Immaculate of the Trenches', was orderly & controlled, down even to his attire. Geoffrey, the 'non-militarist at heart' had not rushed to enlist but put aside his objections to the war for patriotism's sake. Victor on the other hand, possessed a very sweet character and was known as 'Father Confessor'. An important historical testimony telling a powerful story of idealism, disillusionment and personal tragedy.

Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing
Author: Josh Ryan-Collins
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1786991217
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Why are house prices in many advanced economies rising faster than incomes? Why isn’t land and location taught or seen as important in modern economics? What is the relationship between the financial system and land? In this accessible but provocative guide to the economics of land and housing, the authors reveal how many of the key challenges facing modern economies - including housing crises, financial instability and growing inequalities - are intimately tied to the land economy. Looking at the ways in which discussions of land have been routinely excluded from both housing policy and economic theory, the authors show that in order to tackle these increasingly pressing issues a major rethink by both politicians and economists is required.

The Impact of U.S. Land Theft
Author: Jillian Hishaw
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781732332928
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Without the theft of indigenous groups' lands and the exploitation of African slave labor, whites would not currently own over 95 percent of land in the U.S. Due to the forced assimilation to European religious beliefs and customs, many indigenous and former slaves compromised their native beliefs to appease European settlers. Unfortunately, the new way of life led to the five "civilized" tribes owning slaves and some former slaves joining the military to fight against tribal groups after the Civil War. As more Europeans populated the United States, the adoption of English common law beliefs of statehood and demarcation of land created our current property laws, thus replacing indigenous and African beliefs of communal living. U.S. property law was written strategically to provide land protection for whites and equip future generations to continue the European legacy of stealing land from indigenous and black landowners. Due to the history of land theft and property laws Whites now own over 95 percent of U.S. land. White Land Theft explores the history of European settlement in the Plain States and the present-day land loss of both exploited communities. Hishaw's recommendations of land reparations and how to disburse it, along with legal analysis related to tax credits, are backed up by industry interviews and her 15 years of professional experience. White Land Theft is a factual justification for land reparations supported by extensive research.
