Nine Lives of a Black Panther
Author: Wayne Pharr
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613749198
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In the early morning hours of December 8, 1969, three hundred officers of the newly created elite paramilitary tactical unit known as SWAT initiated a violent battle with a handful of Los Angeles&–based members of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP). Five hours and five thousand rounds of ammunition later, three SWAT team members and three Black Panthers lay wounded. From a tactical standpoint, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) considered the encounter a disaster. For the Panthers and the community that supported them, the shootout symbolized a victory. A key contributor to that victory was the nineteen-year-old rank-and-file member of the BPP Wayne Pharr. Nine Lives of a Black Panther tells Wayne's riveting story of the Los Angeles branch of the BPP and gives a blow-by-blow account of how it prepared for and survived the massive military-style attack. Because of his dedication to the black liberation struggle, Wayne was hunted, beaten, and almost killed by the LAPD in four separate events. Here he reveals how the branch survived attacks such as these, and also why BPP cofounder Huey P. Newton expelled the entire Southern California chapter and deemed it &“too dangerous to remain a part of the national organization.&” The Los Angeles branch was the proving ground for some of the most beloved and colorful characters in Panther lore, including Bunchy Carter, Masai Hewitt, Geronimo &“ji-Jaga&” Pratt, and Elaine Brown. Nine Lives fills in a missing piece of Black Panther history, while making clear why black Los Angeles was home to two of the most devastating riots in the history of urban America. But it also eloquently relates one man's triumph over police terror, internal warfare, and personal demons. It will doubtless soon take its place among the classics of black militant literature.

The Nine Lives of Tigger Digger
Author: Margaret Grant
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780993046322
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Cat Lovers and children will love to read this delightful true-to-life story about a cat called Tigger Digger, who finds himself dumped on the Yorkshire Moors and left to fend for himself by Nan Knitwarm's 'noddle nephew' Newton. Tigger's quest for a forever home leads him along perilous paths. How he survives, after spending several of his 'nine lives, ' might have something to do with his own skill in avoiding disaster. Or maybe the other helpful people and creatures he meets on his journey are fortunate tools of what Tigger believes to be the 'Light of Heaven'. Although a book designed for children, it will also satisfy those eager 'cataholics' who, like the author herself, cannot help but fall in love with cats. Margaret Grant's delicious memories of the pets and creatures she has adored find a place in this moving novel. Notes for parents and teachers help discussion about each chapter as it unfolds and will be useful in teaching virtues.

Newton and the Counterfeiter
Author: Thomas Levenson
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571265758
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Already famous throughout Europe for his theories of planetary motion and gravity, Isaac Newton decided to take on the job of running the Royal Mint. And there, Newton became drawn into a battle with William Chaloner, the most skilful of counterfeiters, a man who not only got away with faking His Majesty's coins (a crime that the law equated with treason), but was trying to take over the Mint itself. But Chaloner had no idea who he was taking on. Newton pursued his enemy with the cold, implacable logic that he brought to his scientific research. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century London with its sewers running down the middle of the streets, its fetid rivers, its packed houses, smoke and fog, its industries and its great port, this dark tale of obsession and revenge transforms our image of Britain's greatest scientist.
