Synopsis

An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.

    Hello, dear listener. 
    My name is Raul Cristian Săraru, and I'm both the author and the narrator of this journey we're about to embark on together, titled 'Navigating the Adult Industry, Cannabis, Crypto, and Beyond.' 
    This book is my heart laid bare. It's a voyage across the vast seas of resilience, transformation, and reinvention. From the vibrant and challenging world of the adult industry to the pioneering edges of the cannabis market and the uncharted territories of cryptocurrency, this is my story. A tale of facing down the odds, embracing change, and discovering new horizons. 
    Through my voice, you'll walk the path I've traveled - through highs and lows, successes and setbacks. This isn't just a recounting of events; it's a reflection on the lessons learned, the battles fought, and the wisdom gained. It's about the power of believing in yourself and the magic of starting anew, no matter where you are in life. 
    So, I invite you to join me. Let's share this journey together, step by step, page by page. Allow yourself to be inspired, to think differently, and maybe, to see the world through my eyes for just a little while. This is more than a book; it's a piece of my life, an invitation into my world. 
    And now, without further ado, let's dive into 'Navigating the Adult Industry, Cannabis, Crypto, and Beyond.' 
    Welcome to my story.

    Life, With A History Of Smuggling. 
    ISLAMORADA, Florida, With Keys Don -- "Marijuana is a people business," explained Don, a long-retired pioneer of the marijuana smuggling industry, who flew single-engine planes back and forth to Colombia, carrying up to a million dollars-worth of pot per load, in today's money. 
    He brought marijuana through the Florida Keys, an area with thousands of places to hide, that's been a haven for smugglers since the times of the Spanish Main up until sometime late last night. Later he and his friends used boats and vehicles and expanded connections throughout the states, Mexico and the Philippines, even working with Federal Agents. 
    "I'll tell you about the life of a smuggler," said Don. "When marijuana is legal, we will be like the rum runners during prohibition and people might be interested in how it was in Smugglers' Times.

    Within the dark pages of Berserk: The Shocking Life and Death of Edwin Valero, author Don Stradley uncovers the gritty details of the undefeated (27-0, 27 KO), troubled, boxer Edwin Valero. 
     
     
     
    Edwin Valero's life was like a rocket shot into a wall. With a perfect knockout record in twenty-seven fights, the demonic Venezuelan boxer, known as "El Inca" and "El Dinamita," seemed destined for a clash with all-time great Manny Pacquiao. But the Fates had other ideas. 
     
     
     
    Fueled by cocaine and booze and paranoia, Valero blazed into a mania that derailed his career in the ring and resulted in the brutal death of his young wife Jennifer–and soon afterward, his own. In chilling detail, Don Stradley captures one of the darkest and most sensational boxing stories in recent memory, which, until now, has never been fully told. 
     
     
     
    Filled with firsthand accounts from the men who trained Valero and the reporters who covered him, as well as insights from psychologists and forensic experts, Berserk is a hell-ride of a book.
