Black River A Novel

English | 2003 | pages: 371 | ISBN: 0380816210 | PDF | 0,9 mb
There is no stronger argument for the death penalty than Nicholas Balagula, the bloodthirsty West Coast crime boss who has been charged with sixty-three counts of homicide, many of them children. And now reclusive rogue journalist Frank Corso – the only non-participant invited to observe the closed court proceedings – stands uncomfortably in the center of the most crazed media circus to hit Seattle in years . . . until a personal tragedy diverts his attention. When photojournalist Meg Dougherty – once Corso’s lover and still his dearest friend – comes face-to-face with a pair of cold-blooded executioners and ends up clinging weakly to life in the I.C.U., the angry lone-wolf reporter vows to make all the guilty parties pay, by his own hand if necessary. But the black river of lies, secrets, corruption, and murder surrounding both the Balagula trial and Meg’s "accident" is much deeper and more dangerous than even Frank Corso anticipated. And if he wades in over his head, the undertow could drag him to his death.

Black Power at Work Community Control, Affirmative Action, and the Construction Industry


Free Download David Goldberg, "Black Power at Work: Community Control, Affirmative Action, and the Construction Industry"
English | ISBN: 0801446589 | 2010 | 280 pages | PDF | 48 MB
Black Power at Work chronicles the history of direct action campaigns to open up the construction industry to black workers in the 1960s and 1970s. The book’s case studies of local movements in Brooklyn, Newark, the Bay Area, Detroit, Chicago, and Seattle show how struggles against racism in the construction industry shaped the emergence of Black Power politics outside the U.S. South. In the process, "community control" of the construction industry―especially government War on Poverty and post-rebellion urban reconstruction projects― became central to community organizing for black economic self-determination and political autonomy.

Black Holes, Gravitational Radiation and the Universe Essays in Honor of C.V. Vishveshwara


Free Download Black Holes, Gravitational Radiation and the Universe: Essays in Honor of C.V. Vishveshwara By B. Carter (auth.), Bala R. Iyer, Biplab Bhawal (eds.)
1999 | 570 Pages | ISBN: 904815121X | PDF | 13 MB
Our esteemed colleague C. V. Vishveshwara, popularly known as Vishu, turned sixty on 6th March 1998. His colleagues and well wishers felt that it would be appropriate to celebrate the occasion by bringing out a volume in his honour. Those of us who have had the good fortune to know Vishu, know that he is unique, in a class by himself. Having been given the privilege to be the volume’s editors, we felt that we should attempt something different in this endeavour. Vishu is one of the well known relativists from India whose pioneer ing contributions to the studies of black holes is universally recognised. He was a student of Charles Misner. His Ph. D. thesis on the stability of the Schwarzschild black hole, coordinate invariant characterisation of the sta tionary limit and event horizon for Kerr black holes and subsequent seminal work on quasi-normal modes of black holes have passed on to become the starting points for detailed mathematical investigations on the nature of black holes. He later worked on other aspects related to black holes and compact objects. Many of these topics have matured over the last thirty years. New facets have also developed and become current areas of vigorous research interest. No longer are black holes, ultracompact objects or event horizons mere idealisations of mathematical physicists but concrete entities that astrophysicists detect, measure and look for. Astrophysical evidence is mounting up steadily for black holes.
