A Bitch Called Katrina

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shorty, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, In , a hurricane slammed into the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. This storm was one of the worst in U.S. history, and it severely damaged a large portion of the coast. This hurricane was a lady called Camille. On August , another hurricane, bigger and more powerful than anything recorded in the history of the South, came ashore, bringing total destruction and death, from western Florida to New Orleans and beyond. There was nothing ladylike about this hurricane, and when all is said and done, I think that most people involved with this hurricane will agree that she should be remembered not as a lady at all, but as A Bitch Called Katrina.

City of Sacrifice: Violence from the Aztec Empire to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carrasco, David L., PUBLISHER: Beacon Press, At an excavation of the Great Aztec Temple in Mexico City, amid carvings of skulls and a dismembered warrior goddess, David Carrasco stood before a container filled with the decorated bones of infants and children. It was the site of a massive human sacrifice, and for Carrasco the center of fiercely provocative questions: If ritual violence against humans was a profound necessity for the Aztecs in their capital city, is it central to the construction of social order and the authority of city states? Is civilization built on violence? In City of Sacrifice, Carrasco chronicles the fascinating story of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, investigating Aztec religious practices and demonstrating that religious violence was integral to urbanization; the city itself was a temple to the gods. That Mexico City, the largest city on earth, was built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, is a point Carrasco poignantly considers in his comparison of urban life from antiquity to modernity. Majestic in scope, City of Sacrifice illuminates not only the rich history of a major Meso american city but also the inseparability of two passionate human impulses: urbanization and religious engagement. It has much to tell us about many familiar events in our own time, from suicide bombings in Tel Aviv to rape and murder in the Balkans.

If it's any consolation, I think I received my punishment. Raheem Rodriguez, my amazing boyfriend, disappeared. It was almost like a magic trick, except I didn't clap at the end. I got used to the whole "single parenthood" deal pretty quickly, I suppose. Four years after Raheem's infamous vanishing act, I was doing just fine. Everything was looking up - that is, until he came back. Who would've known that his return would set off a series of - for lack of a better word - interesting events? All I know is that things went from better to worse in a flash, and I wasn't prepared at all. Sade' Ferrier fell in love with the Arts at a very young age, writing her first short story when she was only eight years old. She draws inspiration from both her faith and the many controversial issues she observes in society. Singing, dancing, and acting also hold regal thrones in her heart, fueled only by her love for God.

Things Stoned People Say

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carter, Morton, PUBLISHER: Skyhorse Publishing, Chances are you don't remember what you said when you were high, which is a shame, because it was probably incredibly deep and enlightening (or possibly dumb and incriminating, but we'll give you the benefit of the doubt). Fortunately, the guy sitting in the corner was scribbling your brilliant words on napkins and texting them to Magnolia Johnson for posterity: "You have friends in high places. I just have high friends." "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?" "Make me unweird." "Violence is never the answer, man. Unless the question is 'what is never the answer?'" "You know what would make a great book, man? The history of tits." "There's no fake monkey teeth. I looked that up, too." "No matter how long you live, you're dead a lot longer." In the spirit of Things Drunk People Say, the stumbling, intriguing, nonsensical but hilarious words are enhanced with creative, original art and published for the world to see (don't worry, the quotes are listed anonymously). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why the hell you're ever sober when you're clearly much more interesting when you're stoned. Why didn't anyone think of this before?
