The Chinatown War

Chinese Los Angeles and the Massacre of 1871

By: Scott Zesch

In October 1871, a simmering, small-scale turf war involving three Chinese gangs exploded into a riot that engulfed the small but growing town of Los Angeles. A large mob of white Angelenos, spurred by racial resentment, rampaged through the city and lynched some 18 people before order was restored. In The Chinatown War, Scott Zesch offers a compelling account of this little-known event, which ranks among the worst hate crimes in American history. The story begins in the 1850s, when the first wave of Chinese immigrants arrived in Los Angeles in the wake of the 1849 California gold rush. Upon arrival, these immigrants usually took up low-wage jobs, settled in the slum neighborhood of the Calle de los Negros, and joined one of a number of Chinese community associations. Though such associations provided job placement and other services to their members, they were also involved in extortion and illicit businesses, including prostitution. In 1870 the largest of these, the See-Yup Company, imploded in an acrimonious division. The violent succession battle that ensued, as well as the highly publicized torture of Chinese prostitute Sing-Ye, eventually provided the spark for the racially motivated riot that ripped through L.A. Zesch vividly evokes the figures and events in the See-Yup dispute, deftly situates the riot within its historical and political context, and illuminates the workings of the early Chinese-American community in Los Angeles, while simultaneously exploring issues that continue to trouble Americans today. Engaging and deeply researched, The Chinatown War above all delivers a riveting story of a dominant American city and the darker side of its early days that offers powerful insights for our own time.

The Captured

A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier

By: Scott Zesch

On New Year's Day in 1870, ten-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by an Apache raiding party. Traded to Comaches, he thrived in the rough, nomadic existence, quickly becoming one of the tribe's fiercest warriors. Forcibly returned to his parents after three years, Korn never adjusted to life in white society. He spent his last years in a cave, all but forgotten by his family. That is, until Scott Zesch stumbled over his own great-great-great uncle's grave. Determined to understand how such a "good boy" could have become Indianized so completely, Zesch travels across the west, digging through archives, speaking with Comanche elders, and tracking eight other child captives from the region with hauntingly similar experiences. With a historians rigor and a novelists eye, Zesch's The Captured paints a vivid portrait of life on the Texas frontier, offering a rare account of captivity. "A carefully written, well-researched contribution to Western history -- and to a promising new genre: the anthropology of the stolen." - Kirkus Reviews

Bringing Scanning Probe Microscopy up to Speed

By: Stephen C. Minne,Scott R. Manalis,Calvin F. Quate

Bringing Scanning Probe Microscopy Up to Speed introduces the principles of scanning probe systems with particular emphasis on techniques for increasing speed. The authors include useful information on the characteristics and limitations of current state-of-the-art machines as well as the properties of the systems that will follow in the future. The basic approach is two-fold. First, fast scanning systems for single probes are treated and, second, systems with multiple probes operating in parallel are presented. The key components of the SPM are the mechanical microcantilever with integrated tip and the systems used to measure its deflection. In essence, the entire apparatus is devoted to moving the tip over a surface with a well-controlled force. The mechanical response of the actuator that governs the force is of the utmost importance since it determines the scanning speed. The mechanical response relates directly to the size of the actuator; smaller is faster. Traditional scanning probe microscopes rely on piezoelectric tubes of centimeter size to move the probe. In future scanning probe systems, the large actuators will be replaced with cantilevers where the actuators are integrated on the beam. These will be combined in arrays of multiple cantilevers with MEMS as the key technology for the fabrication process.

The Joey Boots Chronicles

The Joey Boots Chronicles

By: Scott Zeif

Joey Boots was best known for his regular contributions to the Howard Stern Radio Show. While not quite officially a member of Stern's collection of oddball characters known as the Wack Pack, Boots and his antics were key components of the show for years. Behind the shenanigans like the trademark live TV interruptions of news reports that came to be known as "Booey bombs," Joey Boots lived a unique and troublesome life. A childhood of abuse and constant feelings of isolation led to regular encounters with the law as Boots neared adulthood. He rambled from pastime to pastime-some good, some less healthy. He spent time as both a volunteer firefighter and serial arsonist before taking a job on an Alaskan fishing ship and later enlisting in the US Army. Through it all, Boots grappled with his own sexuality and substance abuse issues. The Joey Boots Chronicles captures the wild tale of Boots's life as told in his own voice, much of it for the very first time. It's a raw, graphic, and honest look into the struggles and successes along a most peculiar journey and the one-of-a-kind man behind it all.

Target Aquarius

By: Scott Beringer

The sixties saw massive shifts in consciousness as a higher authority was setting the stage for “The Coming.” Camelot was meant to fall, with the 5th Dimension singing background, as Petula sings curious lyrics to a “distant love” while Target changed its logo of 6 elements to that of 3 in preparation. The wizard then created it’s polar 6 in the hills of OZark, and egos shop as if nothing approaches. The “Inconvenient Truth” of climate change is however, an allegory of Earth changes as we enter new energy fields as we align at the plane of galactic center, ushering the death of 3-D Iron. The smoke in the shape of a galaxy on its cover speak to the aware, confirming it to be an Alaôr , along with Al’s assertion that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, as it too is an allegory for the coming Aquarian awareness. “The weather, very peculiar, Don’t you think?” Like a Bronze Phoenix, the organic 5D NWO will “Spring” from the wintry rubble of rust, with its 4 letters, that was the dark polarities “mechanized” nwo. This mystical setting is for my fellow Prodigals, “to whom it is given,” who are waking up to the emptiness of their 3D Las Vegash folly here in the 7-11 School of Duality! As the new millennium began, the ultimate paradox was played out. Understated symbolism with an ironic twist, as a president tells his countrymen to go out and shop after 9-11 with wars planned, while Target, in contradiction, airs a television commercial that has nothing to do with shopping, but everything to do with our spiritual advancement beyond this 3D setting. A logo and a thirty-second commercial that defy any explanation in terms of ordinary marketing. A divine message, seen by billions and “not seen”. If You have not retreated, then perhaps it is Your time to take this information and prepare. It is the easiest, and most Sirius, choice you will ever make to finally understand why, there will be a cleansing "Reckoning", and what cosmological purpose it serves with a "Final Judgement", which I had rejected until I discovered the purpose it serves, as a very precise program that oversees the development of new Stars and their Darker polar partners, within the expanding Cosmos. Learn the real meaning of 9-11 and 7-11, and why “The Fall” of Man, the Angels and Lucifer was preordained and had to occur for this “Polar” expansion. When you Know Yourself, you will understand your own “Arc” frequency and how to adjust it, making you the Master of your game! This was the “Ark” Noah was “building” to adjust and align his with the “higher frequency” of the next Age, discovering the Narrow Gate! Time has come to pay attention to the “invisible” Man behind the curtain and the real identity of the “visible” Lucifer and the real truth of the “Light-Bearer”, that was hidden from the children until the few were ready for adult concepts. Time to be aware of our Mother and know “You’ve always had the power”, and that no “evil” can steal your “sole”, Dorothy! The multitude of clue filled counterfeit current “events” point to This, Sign of the Times! Oh thank heaven for 7-11, as one play concludes, and your new front row seat to “A Star is Born”!

Scars of the Stars

101 Injuries of the Rich and Famous

By: Scott Tierney

Why do we find the mishaps of others amusing? Do we sort pleasure in the falls from grace of our peers? Is it a primal, evolutionary urge to see the weaker of the pack fall away, to be engulfed by a predator for the good of the herd? Or is it simply because the sight of someone falling on their face is always hilarious? Probably the latter... In this book, you will find a collection of occasionally agonising but always amusing accidents that have befallen the celebrities, sports stars and actors of this world. From baseball players stabbing themselves in the stomach; singers falling down flights of stairs; actors scalding their private parts and goalkeepers tripping over dogs, this is a celebration of clumsiness and bad choices. The consequences may be painful and the scars everlasting, but hey, it's always funny when it happens to someone else!
