Danny Ellis was a survivor, strong
and resilient. A successful
singer/songwriter, he was proud of
the way he’d ‘handled’ his painful
past: the grinding poverty of the
1950s Dublin slums, and the brutality
of the orphanage, the notorious
Artane Industrial School where he
was left. He’d safely buried it. Or so
he thought. Then one night, while
writing a powerful song that would
launch his acclaimed album, 800
Voices, his past came flooding back
to haunt him. Long-forgotten
memories of betrayal and
abandonment burst forth in a
shocking revelation: his eight-year-old
self was still lost in the orphanage..

Dawkins was bound to have biology

influences that shaped his life and
intellectual development? And who
inspired him to become the
pioneering scientist and public thinker
now famous (and infamous to some)
around the world?

I step in through the heavy
doors of the old city hospital
and plunge back in time.
Jaysus, the sounds, smells,
peeling paint! Nothing's
changed here since I first used
this place as a homeless
sixteen year old. Now, the
creep who put me there,
somewhere down along these
ancient passages he is lying
shivering and shaking in a bed
of pain.

turn your real interests into real
businesses.
In this eye-opening handbook, the
internationally noted speaker,
economics expert, and bestselling
author of IOU: The Debt Threat and
Silent Takeover reveals the extent to
which the biggest decisions in our
lives are often made on the basis of
flawed information, weak
assumptions, corrupted data,
insufficient scrutiny of others, and a
lack of self-knowledge. In Eyes Wide
Open, she weaves together scientific
research with real-world examples
from Hollywood to Harry Potter,
NASA to World War Two spies, to
construct a path to more astute and
empowered decision-making in ten
clear steps.

From his hiring as a legislative
assistant to Kennedy's death in
1963, the author was with him
during the key crises and turning
points - including the spectacular
race for the vice presidency at the
1956 convention, the launching of
Kennedy's presidential candidacy,
the TV debates with Nixon, and
election night at Hyannis Port.
Nothin' to Lose: The Making of KISS
(1972-1975) chronicles, for the first
time, the crucial formative years of
the legendary rock band KISS,
culminating with the groundbreaking
success of their classic 1975 album
Alive! and the smash single "Rock
and Roll All Nite," a song that nearly
four decades later remains one of
rock's most enduring anthems.
Drawing on more than two hundred
interviews, the book offers a
captivating and intimate fly-on-the-
wall account of their launch, charting
the struggles and ultimate victories
that led them to the threshold of
superstardom.
When the nation’s economy
foundered in 2008, blame was
directed almost universally at Wall
Street bankers. But Robert B.
Reich, one of our most experienced
and trusted voices on public policy,
suggests another reason for the
meltdown. Our real problem, he
argues, lies in the increasing
concentration of income at the top,
robbing the vast middle class of the
purchasing power it needs to keep
the economy going. This thoughtful
and detailed account of the
American economy—and how we
can fix it—is a practical, humane,
and much-needed blueprint for
rebuilding our society.

9780062071613 LUCK OR SOMETHING LIKE IT (Soft Cover) KENNY ROGERS HARPER US S$24.00 BIORecounting his early years, first as a
jazz bassist and later as a member of
the pioneering folk group the New
Christy Minstrels, the author charts
how he came into his own as an artist
with the First Edition, only to have the
band's breakup in the 1970s raise
questions about his musical future.
Mark Twain was a figure larger
than life: massive in talent,
eruptive in temperament,
unpredictable in his actions. He
crafted stories of heroism,
adventure, tragedy, and comedy
that reflected the changing
America of the time, and he tells
his own story with the same flair
he brought to his fiction. Writing
this autobiography on his
deathbed, Twain vowed to be
"free and frank and
unembarrassed" in the
recounting of his life and his
experiences.
