The book explores the author's journey from collecting news clippings and Supreme Court opinions on gun violence to advocating for common-sense gun regulations. Following significant events, including the Heller and McDonald rulings, David Nelson, an attorney, critiques these decisions as misinterpretations of the Founding Fathers' intentions. After the Las Vegas shooting in 2017, he felt a moral obligation to articulate the political complexities surrounding gun laws and propose actionable solutions to address the ongoing crisis of gun violence.

Solkattu Manual: An Introduction to the Rhythmic Language of South Indian Music
- 150bladzijden
- 6 uur lezen
Solkattu, the spoken rhythms and patterns of hand-clapping used by all musicians and dancers in the classical traditions of South India, is a subject of worldwide interest—but until now there has not been a textbook for students new to the practice. Designed especially for classroom use in a Western setting, the manual begins with rudimentary lessons in the simplest South Indian tala, or metric cycle, and proceeds step-by-step into more challenging material. The book then provides lessons in the eight-beat adi tala, arranged so that by the end, students will have learned a full percussion piece they can perform as an ensemble. Solkattu Manual includes web links to video featuring performances of all 150 lessons, and full performances of all three of the outlined small-ensemble pieces. Ideal for courses in world music and general musicianship, as well as independent study. Book lies flat for easy use.
The sixth edition of this best-selling biochemistry introduction retains its clarity and coherence, while including the latest advancements, new worked examples, end-of-chapter problems, and enhanced artwork to emphasize key processes and lessons.

With the help of family, friends, and lovers, the victims of John Wayne Gacy tell their side of the story As investigators brought out the bagged remains of several dozen young men from a small Chicago ranch home and paraded them in front of a crowd of TV reporters and spectators, attention quickly turned to the owner of the house. John Gacy was an upstanding citizen, active in local politics and charities, famous for his themed parties and appearances as Pogo the Clown. But in the winter of 1978-79, he became known as one of many so-called "sex murderers" who had begun gaining notoriety in the random brutality of the 1970s. As public interest grew rapidly, victims became footnotes and statistics, lives lost not just to violence, but to history. Through the testimony of siblings, parents, friends, lovers, and other witnesses close to the case, Boys Enter the House retraces the footsteps of these victims as they make their way to the doorstep of the Gacy house itself.
