Book Description
Melody Hollenback has a problem. Her husband, Jeff, has joined what appears to be a cult. Considering his and her months-long unemployment and Jeff's clinical depression, Melody has a lot to worry about. When Jeff exhibits sudden signs of mental wellness, he is convinced the cult is curing him. He becomes increasingly immersed in the teachings, and Melody worries he is pulling away from her. In an effort to hold on to him, she pretends to join the fold. She soon discovers that the cult has long arms and keeps a tight grip on its followers. In fact, one of the group's ringleaders, the mysterious Floyd, has been keeping his creepy eye on her. Somebody's Watching You, the debut novel from Robin D'Amato, reads like a quirky thriller. Set in a community unware of danger in its tree-lined blocks, the absurd tactics of the cult frame this otherwise simple love story with both dread and humor.

I Am Somebody
Author: David Masciotra
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 183860426X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
There are few figures and leaders of recent American history of greater social and political consequence than Jesse Jackson, and few more relevant for America's current political climate. In the 1960s, Jackson served as a close aide to Dr. Martin Luther King, meeting him on the notorious march to legitimate the American democratic system in Selma. He was there on the day of King's assassination, and continued his political legacy, inspiring a generation of black and Latino politicians and activists, founding the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, and helping to make the Democratic Party more multicultural and progressive with his historic runs for the presidency in the 1980s. In I Am Somebody, David Masciotra argues that Jackson's legacy must be rehabilitated in the history of American politics. Masciotra has had personal access to Jackson for several years, conducting over 100 interviews with the man himself, as well as interviews with a wide variety of elected officials and activists who Jackson has inspired and influenced. It also takes readers inside Jackson's negotiations for the release of hostages and political prisoners in Cuba, Iraq, and several other countries. As Democratic politics sees a return to radicalism and the rise of a new generation of committed advocates of racial and economic justice, I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters is a critical book for understanding where America in the 21st Century has come from and where it is going. Featuring a foreword by Michael Eric Dyson.

Experts share their knowledge so you can live carefree! It has never been more dangerous and at the same time easier than today to entrust one's privacy and personality to strangers.

Creating more security for everyone should be the top priority. This includes protection against data and identity loss. Data security issues are unmistakable. Millions of identities are stolen every year. The Internet and our worldwide network has degenerated into a pure propaganda and manipulation tool. Exacerbated by poor quality and excessive use, the Internet and connected systems have become the No. 1 resource and time waster. Data protection laws alone are not enough, so concepts like the S.o.P. are a must in our time! The whole world is a stage and all women and men are mere players, they perform and leave again.
