The Autobiography of Calvin Smith of Smithville (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Autobiography of Calvin Smith of Smithville In writing this autobiographical sketch, first, I deem it fit that I name the loins whence I and mine have sprung. The tradition handed down to me by my ancestors is that previous to the treaty of Ryswick in 1697, my ancestors lived in Alsace, or to be more accurate, in the city (strasburg) where the big clocks are. Previous to this date Alsace was a Province of Germany, but by that treaty was ceded to France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It Should Have Been Gold
In the dirty business of track & field, Calvin Smith was the sprinter who always ran clean. He strongly believes he is in the minority. Hard work, dedication, practice, and wanting victory led him to Olympic gold in 1984. But it's a victory he says was "tainted." Now that he's retired, he can finally explain why. He won a bronze medal in the 100 meter sprint at the 1988 Games. "It should have been gold," he says. Turns out, he was the only clean runner among the medalists. Calvin Smith is an honorable American athlete. He always played fair and never cheated like those men and women who took performance-enhancing drugs. This is his story, from his upbringing in rural Mississippi, to his life now, off the track.
JACKALINES
A winter morning, a slim woman with mother appears to join in a residential school, surrounded by beautiful forest and mountain-range, where morning comes late and evening comes earlier with smile of stars in the sky and blinking star-worms in the forest. The howling of jackals from evening increases palpitation of mistresses in the hostel. It is a unique story bundled with mystery, thrilling, horror, suspense, emotion, love and wisdom, written in simple language for all types of readers of all ages. The story explores how a common educated girl fights against the evils in a death trap by dint of her intelligence, presence of mind and courage and rescues a great scientist, from the clutch of a vicious family black sheep and his obliged criminal group. She also saves the entrapped innocent girls from the clutch of reprobate scientist. Those girls were kept in captivity to examine on them a poisonous serum, which can change a human being into a beast. The eventful fiction will increase inquisitiveness in readers to finish the story in a single breath till the story comes to a sweet end. The story for its charm, attraction and diversity in subject will lure the filmmakers.
The Protestant Ethic or the Spirit of Capitalism
Since the publication of Max Weber's classic, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, it has long been assumed that a distinctly Protestant ethos has shaped the current global economic order. Against this common consensus, Kathryn D. Blanchard argues that the theological thought of John Calvin and the Protestant movement as a whole has much to say that challenges the current incarnation of the capitalist order. This book develops an approach to Christian economic ethics that celebrates God's gift of human freedom, while at the same time acknowledging necessary, and indeed vital, limitations in the context of material and social life. Through sustained interaction with such unlikel...
The Innocence Commission
Beyond Exonerating the Innocent: Author on WAMU Radio Convicted Yet Innocent: The Legal Times Review Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008 DNA testing and advances in forensic science have shaken the foundations of the U.S. criminal justice system. One of the most visible results is the exoneration of inmates who were wrongly convicted and incarcerated, many of them sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. This has caused a quandary for many states: how can claims of innocence be properly investigated and how can innocent inmates be reliably distinguished from the guilty? In answer, some states have created “innocence commissions” to establish policies and provide legal as...
