  For the fiftieth anniversary of his murder, this gritty, engrossing, definitive biography of the legendary Black writer Donald Goines—the Godfather of Urban Street Lit and "one of hip hop's greatest inspirations" (The Source Magazine)—is back. 
   
   
   
  Addict, thief, pimp, pusher, player—and most notably, groundbreaking writer. Donald Goines was all of these. 
   
   
   
  As a kid, Donald Goines was the product of a middle-class family. After high school, he joined the Air Force—and discovered the heroin that would rule the remainder of his life. On the streets, he turned to writing when he was straight enough to keep at it. He used the language of the streets and he wrote of its people. Goines's success was immediate and exciting. But eventually those same streets claimed him. He was murdered as he sat writing a new book. Yet his legacy continues, as a revolutionary in the literary world and also in music, with major hip-hop artists including 50 Cent, Nas, and Jay-Z all crediting Goines's novels as influences. Here is his complete story.

  “This book is must reading . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists.” —American Journal of Psychiatry This book brings together Erich Fromm’s basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud’s doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large. “This collection is a fine representative sampling from a lucid, humane, always attractive writer.” —Kirkus Reviews “Highly recommended.” —Library Journal

  Before Game of Thrones… Before Dynasty Warriors… 
  This was the original saga of thrones forged in blood. 
  A modern edition of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, featuring essential summaries & Hanyu Pinyin names and pronunciation 
  The mighty Hàn Dynasty crumbles. Corruption rots the court. Celestial omens blaze across the sky. China shatters, plunging into an era of unthinkable chaos where history bleeds into legend and the supernatural stalks the battlefield. 
  The The wielders of the Serpent Spear, Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Seven Star Sword, Ancient Scimitar and Sky-Piercing Halberd will fight for dominion of the Imperial throne. This is Sānguó Yǎnyì (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) – the cornerstone of Chinese culture and the ultimate historical epic. 
  Dive into the explosive opening (Chapters 1-20) and witness the dawn of chaos: 
  In a humble peach orchard, three men swear an oath that will shake empires: the righteous Liú Bèi, the godlike warrior Guān Yǔ, and the tempestuous Zhāng Fēi. Their brotherhood defies the rising darkness – the monstrous tyrant Dǒng Zhuō who puppeteers the throne, bathing streets in blood, guarded by the undefeatable demigod of war Lǚ Bù astride the mythic Red Hare.  
  Amidst the storm walks Cáo Cāo, a strategist of unmatched brilliance and ruthless ambition, dancing on the edge of damnation. And in the shadows, the young courtesan Diāo Chán (Sable Cicada) weaves a plot of beauty and wit to achieve what armies cannot: toppling a colossus of cruelty. 
  Navigate the Epic with Ease with essential faction overviews, character breakdowns, and chapter summaries illuminate the complex web of alliances. Authentic Hanyu Pinyin pronunciation (like Liú Bèi, Guān Yǔ, Cáo Cāo) deepens your immersion into this foundational tale. 
  The stage is set. Warlords clash. Kingdoms tremble. The threads of fate weave relentlessly toward the cataclysm of Red Cliffs…

  New World Order

  H. G. Wells

  The New World Order – H.G. Wells. One of the central texts in explaining the psychopathic drive of elitists to enslave the world in a unified empire. H. G. Wells was an insider with a British group tasked with the revival of their once great empire—this time in conjunction with Venetian Black Nobility Khazar bankers (not mentioned this explicitly in the book). Wells evidently grew less sympathetic to their aims as time went on, and published a version of the plans for public consumption in this and other books. Needless to say, the cabal bent on world domination were displeased with Wells’ cavalier candor (perhaps they misjudged him all along), and destroyed nearly all such books.
