The Candidate
THE CANDIDATE A stimulating and revealing 'fictional' expose of Jamaica's party politics, as told from the personal PNP perspective of the brother of Michael Manley. Written, as it can only be, by one who knows intimately the hustlings of tribal politics with all its impact on, and connections to, the various facets of civil society - legal and otherwise - you will be tempted as you read, to believe that you can identify some of the individuals and incidents described in this fictional story of Jamaica's seamy, grass root political life. Here for the first time at last, is an expose of the internal workings of how one of the leading political parties in Jamaica faces up to the problems of ch...
Submerged: How a Cold Case Condemned an Innocent Man to Hide a Family's Darkest Secret
This bombshell investigation from the co-author of Black Bird reveals a cold case gone wrong that cleared a murderer and imprisoned an innocent man. In March 1993, sixteen-year-old Rayna Rison was abducted outside the La Porte, Indiana, veterinary hospital where she worked. A month later, her body was found submerged under tree limbs in a rural pond. Police targeted her brother-in-law, Ray McCarty, as the prime suspect. Although a grand jury indicted him for the murder in 1998, prosecutors later dropped the charges. Then in 2013, county officers arrested Jason Tibbs, Rayna’s middle-school boyfriend, convicted him, and sentenced him to forty years in prison. After a two-year investigation, ...

Breaking Barriers
For some unknown reason, Peter Altschul was born totally blind. He grew up in a working-class town where, with the help of his persistent mother, he broke through barrier after barrier, determined to live a full life. After attending a private school that initially turned him away-simply because he was blind-Peter details how he discovered his gift for music, eventually playing percussion in the orchestra, marching band, and jazz ensemble at Princeton University. But it was only after Peter graduated from college that it became evident he would need a guide dog. Heidi, a Weimaraner with a large repertoire of barks, howls, and grunts, would assist Peter for the next eight years through the ha...
Clocking into Hell
A view of the inner machinations of the day to day and year to year life at a typical American factory, this rare perspective on an increasingly bygone time of the all too familiar struggles as well as the high points of blue collar laborers, this will be an enjoyable as well as informative read for many who may be curious as to what ordinary middle class workers have to deal with and experience.
About to Die
Due to its ability to freeze a moment in time, the photo is a uniquely powerful device for ordering and understanding the world. But when an image depicts complex, ambiguous, or controversial events--terrorist attacks, wars, political assassinations--its ability to influence perception can prove deeply unsettling. Are we really seeing the world "as it is" or is the image a fabrication or projection? How do a photo's content and form shape a viewer's impressions? What do such images contribute to historical memory? About to Die focuses on one emotionally charged category of news photograph--depictions of individuals who are facing imminent death--as a prism for addressing such vital questions. Tracking events as wide-ranging as the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, and 9/11, Barbie Zelizer demonstrates that modes of journalistic depiction and the power of the image are immense cultural forces that are still far from understood. Through a survey of a century of photojournalism, including close analysis of over sixty photos, About to Die provides a framework and vocabulary for understanding the news imagery that so profoundly shapes our view of the world.
