The Dola Project

An offbeat and creative approach to environmental challenges

By: Cecil Thomas

A wealthy woman named Dola decided to address some larger problems faced by the US. She knew she could not work alone on such big issues, so she recruited a group of seven young people in their late twenties. The group became known as Team Dola. She explained that the group of seven would not do all the work on a selected project. Instead, the group would recruit experts who could do most of the work. In other words, Team Dola would initiate a project that others would implement. Their first of four projects involved desalinating Pacific Ocean water and pumping the fresh water into rivers to supplement irrigation. The second project addressed the problem of wildfires by replacing traditional controlled burning with mulching. A third project arose from their concern for missing persons. The fourth project addressed the problem of sinking cities, with focus on New Orleans. The young members of Team Dola approach their tasks using unconventional and offbeat methods with surprising successes. They engage allies from multiple government agencies, members of the Navajo Nation, California farmers, and even Louisiana politicians. They also manage to have fun and experience romances and disappointments, all while growing into a close-knit formidable team that successfully addresses our nation's pressing problems.

Terror In Black And White

By: Angelo Thomas Crapanzano

Terror in Black and White is writer Angelo Thomas Crapanzano’s thrilling novel about what happens to an ordinary man when thrown into chaotic circumstances. Andrew Anderson, an electronics engineer is driving home from a business meeting one day when he witnesses an accident. He watches with disbelief as a truck forces another car off the road and it plunges over a cliff. A young African American leaps from the car and holds on to the cliff’s embankment. Andrew manages to pull her to safety. The woman tells Andrew she’s being pursued by city officials who are trying to keep her quiet about a crime she witnessed that could bring down the city’s most powerful movers and shakers. Andrew and the woman flee but they are fiercely tracked by the official’s private police who seem to be able to follow them despite their best efforts. How are they able to track them and what has the woman witnessed? Crapanzano’s fast paced novel has all the elements of first rate suspense—an admirable protagonist, a heroine with secrets she can’t reveal and chase scenes that leave the reader on edge. With riveting twists and turns, Terror in Black and White has a surprise ending you won’t see coming!

Scot Free Ii

The Lawless Biker

By: Kerri Thomas

In the fall of 1975, Mikey Thomas, hit man for Tony MartinelliToledos Mafia Crime Bossmoves his family back to his old stomping grounds of Toledo, Ohio after getting into legal trouble in Louisiana. He returns to his old life carrying out contracts for Tony and while doing so, he also finds himself more involved in the seedier side of being a biker. Author Kerri Thomas, Mikeys daughter from a previous marriage, is just ten years old at the time. In Scot Free II, the second book in the series, Thomas shares a fictionalized memoir of her fathers life and how it affected her and her childhood. Inspired by true events, it offers insight into what Thomas life was like growing up in an abusive and criminal environment with a father who dedicated his life to crime. Through Mikeys first-person perspective, this story shares his experiences as a biker who was no stranger to rape, murder, arson, bombings, and more. Praise for Scot Free I live just outside of Toledo and knew where each of the places were that Kerri referred to in this book. Her father was ingenious in how he committed his crimes and got away with them, but extremely cruel and selfish in how he treated his own family, the people he supposedly loved. Kerri, I could hardly put this book down. You have survived a horrendous childhood and I hope that you continue to heal and write more books. You have a wonderful talent.Patricia Haupt

Black Wealth / White Wealth

A New Perspective on Racial Inequality

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Black Wealth / White Wealth

A New Perspective on Racial Inequality

By: Melvin Oliver,Thomas Shapiro

The award-winning Black Wealth / White Wealth offers a powerful portrait of racial inequality based on an analysis of private wealth. Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro's groundbreaking research analyzes wealth - total assets and debts rather than income alone - to uncover deep and persistent racial inequality in America, and they show how public policies have failed to redress the problem. First published in 1995, Black Wealth / White Wealth is considered a classic exploration of race and inequality. It provided, for the first time, systematic empirical evidence that explained the racial inequality gap between blacks and whites. The Tenth Anniversary edition contains two entirely new and substantive chapters. These chapters look at the continuing issues of wealth and inequality in America and the new policies that have been launched in the past ten years. Some have been progressive while others only recreate inequality - for example the proposal to eliminate the estate tax. Compelling and also informative, Black Wealth / White Wealth is not just pioneering research. It is also a powerful counterpoint to arguments against affirmative action and a direct challenge to current social welfare policies that are tilted towards the wealthy.

Scot Free Iii

The Last Outlaw

By: Kerri Thomas

This is the final installment of the Scot Free series. A new Blood Brother comes to town to determine if Mikey is responsible for the deaths of two other bike club members. Is he finally going to be caught at his own game or will he once again slip through getting away with everything Scot Free? The federal government spent more than twenty years pursuing him, wire tapping the phone lines, following him and at one point, through Scot Free II: The Lawless Biker, we know the feds even infiltrated the biker club. How will the new Blood Brother fair in his quest to solve the disappearances and death of two other faithful members when the FBI can’t even catch Mikey doing anything illegal? Many tell me it sounds interesting growing up with a man who is a self-proclaimed hitman for the Mob. I can tell you that it was not. His choices affected our lives and not always for the better. Most of the time, it was for the worst. Please, join me as Toledo’s notorious outlaw finishes what he started. Mikey Thomas continues to work under the cloak of invisibility the Mafia and his club brothers afford him. He was a man who had no regrets and in his own words, “I lived my life how I wanted and I will not apologize for anything.”

Richie

A Father, His Son, and the Ultimate American Tragedy

By: Thomas Thompson

The “powerful and moving” true story of a Long Island family torn apart by drugs, violence, and the unbridgeable divide between generations (Kirkus Reviews). George Diener, World War II veteran and traveling salesman, and his wife, Carol, had old-fashioned values and ordinary aspirations: a home, a family, the pleasure of watching their two sons grow up. But in February 1972, an unthinkable tragedy occurred in the basement of their Nassau County residence, shattering their hopes and dreams forever. George and Carol doted on their shy eldest son, Richie. But at fifteen, the boy fell into a devastating downward spiral. He started smoking marijuana, shoplifting, and hanging out with drug dealers, and was soon arrested for assault and expelled from school. By the time his parents sought psychiatric counseling for their son, Richie was addicted to barbiturates and given to violent outbursts and threats. The boy George and Carol knew was long gone. Then, one winter evening, Richie came at his father with a steak knife and a suicidal cry of “Shoot!” Edgar Award–winning author Thomas Thompson delivers a “scary, harrowing” account of a turbulent era in American history when the gulf between young and old, bohemian and conservative, felt wider and more dangerous than ever before (The New York Times Book Review). A tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, the devastating account of George and Carol Diener’s nightmare was adapted into The Death of Richie, a television movie starring Ben Gazzara, Eileen Brennan, and Robby Benson as Richie.

Cornell Woolrich from Pulp Noir to Film Noir

Cornell Woolrich from Pulp Noir to Film Noir

By: Thomas C. Renzi

Extremely popular and prolific in the 1930s and 1940s, Cornell Woolrich still has diehard fans who thrive on his densely packed descriptions and his spellbinding premises. A contemporary of Hammett and Chandler, he competed with them for notoriety in the pulps and became the single most adapted writer for films of the noir period. Perhaps the most famous film adaptation of a Woolrich story is Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954). Even today, his work is still onscreen; Michael Cristofer's Original Sin (2001) is based on one of his tales. This book offers a detailed analysis of many of Woolrich's novels and short stories; examines films adapted from these works; and shows how Woolrich's techniques and themes influenced the noir genre. Twenty-two stories and 30 films compose the bulk of the study, though many other additions of films noirs are also considered because of their relevance to Woolrich's plots, themes and characters. The introduction includes a biographical sketch of Woolrich and his relationship to the noir era, and the book is illustrated with stills from Woolrich's noir classics.

Re-Making Sound

An Experiential Approach to Sound Studies

By: Justin Patch,Thomas Porcello

Re-Making Sound is concise and flexible primer to sound studies. It takes students through six ways of conceptualizing sound and its links to other social phenomena: soundscapes; noise; sound and semiotics of the voice; sound and/through/in text; background sound/sound design; and sound art. Each chapter summarizes the history and scholarly theoretical underpinnings of these areas and concludes with a student activity that concretizes the historical and theoretical discussion via sound-making projects. With chapters designed to be flexible and non-sequential, the text fits within various course designs, and includes an introduction to key concepts in sound and sound studies, a cumulative concluding chapter with sound accompanying podcast exercise, and an extensive bibliography for students to pursue sound studies beyond the book itself.

This Will Do...

A Novel

By: Thomas Ogden

This Will Do... is a gripping story of three young people whose attempts to make a life for themselves are at times misdirected, sometimes self-defeating, and now and again sufficiently successful to make something that "will do." Ogden's writing is an event to be savored in its own right, at once powerful and tender, richly descriptive and unassuming.

Running Through the Graveyard

By: Thomas J. Miranda

This book contains a number of essays that address the decline of America and the causes of our impending demise. America is racing toward the graveyard of nations and is leaderless, we have lost our moral compass, our government is corrupt to the core and we are reaping the benefits of an entitlement society. Meanwhile, we have dumbed down our education so that in many cases, high school graduates cannot fill out an unemployment form, high school graduates? Our religious leaders have lost their way and preach more social issues than salvation. The abortuaries have killed over 55 million and counting of our unborn and continue to do so, while politicians wring their hands over political correctness. It is the author’s hope that the reader will be made aware of these nation destroying trends and will react to vote for real leaders or this nation is heading for the graveyard of nations

The Syntax of Adjuncts

By: Thomas Ernst

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Syntax of Adjuncts

By: Thomas Ernst

This book proposes a theory of the distribution of adverbial adjuncts in a Principles and Parameters framework, claiming that there are few syntactic principles specific to adverbials; rather, for the most part, adverbials adjoin freely to any projection. Adjuncts' possible hierarchical positions are determined by whether they can receive a proper interpretation, according to their selectional (including scope) requirements and general compositional rules, while linear order is determined by hierarchical position along with a system of directionality principles and morphological weight, both of which apply generally to adjuncts and all other syntactic elements. A wide range of adverbial types is analysed; predicational adverbs (such as manner, and modal adverbs), domain expressions like financially, temporal, frequency, duration and focusing adverbials; participant PPs (e.g. locatives and benefactives); resultative and conditional clauses, and others, taken primarily from English, Chinese, French and Italian, with occasional reference to others (such as German and Japanese).

Carol Ann was very photogenic. Especially in certain pictures... But it was more than just a case of over-exposure. There was also a small matter of murder. For Pete Schofield, it was all in a day's -- and night's -- work. And very enjoyable work at that. Because Carol Ann was a cooperative subject, both on and off camera... "Thomas B.
