    Gowanus Crossing - A Brooklyn...

    A veteran journalist's gritty, darkly funny memoir about growing up Italian American in 1960s Brooklyn.Mid-century Gowanus: Decades before the Whole Foods went up and the lofts were refurbished, a raucous, unruly, proudly Italian American enclave clings to the banks of the noxious canal. The Mafia and the Catholic Church—two centuries-old, rigidly hierarchical institutions defined by oppressive codes of silence—dominate the neighborhood.In Gowanus Crossing, Vincent Coppola brings the world of his childhood ferociously to life. A second generation Italian-American, Coppola grew up in old Gowanus, a bookish kid for whom Park Slope, to say nothing of Central Park, might as well have been the moon. His journey through and eventually out of the neighborhood is harrowing, hilarious, and populated with a cast of characters who burst off the page: a four-foot-tall wiseguy who walks a lion on a leash, a predatory priest, mobbed-up undertakers, Coppola’s three wayward brothers, and a host of assorted schemers, scammers, mobsters, bookies, gamblers, and certifiable crazies.Combining Frank McCourt’s gimlet eye with the exuberant menace of a Scorsese movie, Gowanus Crossing captures a lost world in all its glory.

    The Visigoths were a significant Germanic people whose influence shaped the course of European history during late antiquity, a period commonly known as the Migration Period. Along with their eastern counterparts, the Ostrogoths, they were among the most powerful and notable Gothic factions within the Roman Empire during its decline. The Visigoths, who descended from earlier Gothic tribes, were particularly influenced by the Thervingi, a large tribe that entered Roman territory in 376. Their arrival marked a pivotal moment in the empire’s history, as they played a central role in the Roman defeat at the Battle of Adrianople in 378, a battle that resulted in devastating losses for the Romans. 
    The relationship between the Romans and the Visigoths was complex and often tumultuous, characterized by shifting alliances, conflicts, and treaties. At times, the Visigoths fought against the Romans, while at other moments, they formed temporary alliances. One of the most significant turning points came in 410, when the Visigoths, under their ambitious leader Alaric I, invaded Italy and famously sacked Rome. This act of conquest shocked the Roman world and marked the first time in over 800 years that the city had been captured by a foreign enemy.

    "Liberalism In the Classical Tradition" is a seminal work written by Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian economist and philosopher. Originally published in 1927 as "Die Gemeinwirtschaft: Untersuchungen über den Sozialismus" (Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis), it was later translated into English in 1962. The book provides a comprehensive defense of classical liberalism, focusing on the principles of individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. Ludwig von Mises argues against socialism and interventionism, emphasizing the importance of private property, voluntary exchange, and the market process. He explores the economic and moral foundations of classical liberalism and critiques alternative political and economic systems. Mises contends that individual freedom and property rights are essential for human flourishing and the prosperity of society.
