As Austin grew from a college and government town of the 1950s into the sprawling city of 2010, two ideas of Austin as a place came into conflict. Many who promoted the ideology of growth believed Austin would be defined by economic output, money, and wealth. But many others thought Austin was instead defined by its quality of life. Because the natural environment contributed so much to Austin's quality of life, a social movement that wanted to preserve the city's environment became the leading edge of a larger movement that wanted to retain a unique sense of place. The "environmental movement" in Austin became the political and symbolic arm of the more general movement for place. This is a ...
The Irish National Liberation Army was one of the most ruthless terrorist organisations during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Formed in 1974 as a splinter group of the Official IRA, the INLA's campaign of murder throughout the 1970s and 1980s included such notorious acts as the bombing of the Droppin' Well in Derry in 1982 and, perhaps most infamously, the kidnapping and mutilation of Dublin dentist by former member, the 'Border Fox'. Many of their leading members found death at the end of a gun, including founder members Seamus Costello and Ronnie Bunting, and leader Dominic McGlinchey. The INLA were also involved in numerous bloody feuds and splits. This new revised edition of a classic book brings the INLA story right up to date, featuring the 1997 killing of LVF leader Billy 'King Rat' Wright; their 1998 ceasefire; their continuing involvement in punishment attacks and criminal activities; and their declaration, in October 2009, that their armed campaign was finally over.

I was born into a very poor family to a mother who would marry three times and to a father who was an alcholic. My two older brothers were in and out of jail/prison from the ages of 16. I was a stupid teenager making a series of foolish decisions that could have killed me. I started working in retail at the age of 16 as a stockboy whose duties included sweeping floors and cleaning bathrooms. I went to work for Walmart, where I would become the Store Manager of four different stores over a span of 30 years. My last store had sales of over 100 Million dollars a year. I struggled with being fat my entire adult life peaking at 363 pounds. I accepted Jesus as my Savior on 12-15-1996 at the age of 35. Since being Saved my life has followed a pattern, first I follow my own path then God nudges me down the correct path and then I start the process all over again.
