In the Slums of Life

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the Slums of Life tells the story of Rosa Lee, a woman who faced countless challenges in her life, yet never gave up on her dreams. Born into poverty in the rural South, she moved to the urban North in search of a better life, only to find more hardship and discrimination. Despite the obstacles she faced, Rosa raised eight children, worked tirelessly to provide for them, and became a pillar of her community.

Rosa's story is one of resilience, strength, and hope. It is a story that shines a light on the struggles of the urban poor and the challenges they face every day. It is also a story of triumph, as Rosa ultimately overcame adversity and achieved her dreams.

This book follows Rosa's journey from her early life in the Jim Crow South to her death from AIDS at age fifty-nine. We learn about the hardships she faced, the choices she made, and the impact she had on her family and community. We also explore the larger social and economic forces that shaped Rosa's life and the lives of millions of other Americans living in poverty.

Rosa Lee's story is an important one because it helps us to understand the complex challenges facing the urban poor. It also reminds us of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, people can find the strength to overcome adversity and achieve their dreams.

In the Slums of Life is a powerful and moving story that will stay with readers long after they finish reading it. It is a story that will inspire and uplift readers of all backgrounds.

Dark Red Rooms: Volume One - A...

sweets

We all have memories of our favorite encounters. They exist like dark little red rooms lining the corners of the hallways of our minds. Some are revisited often, others we happen upon when it is least expected, interrupting your thoughts like little pangs in the middle of a conversation. It's easy to want to revisit those rooms again and again, and at the same time, there's this desire to keep them untouched and sacred. 
These are brief, re-tellings of my favorite pang-inducing erotic memories. Some of them haven't happened yet, others are so etched into my psyche that they'll always be a part of this house. 
Enjoy.

Life Earth and Politics - Ideas...

Sherman Lewis

Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.
