Children of Las Vegas - True...

Timothy O'Grady

Over forty million people a year travel to Las Vegas, more than to Mecca. It is a global celebrity, an improbable oasis, a place offering bank-breaking fortunes and instant gratification, 24/7, with no moral debits.
Award-winning writer Timothy O'Grady lived in Vegas for two years. He finally began to understand it when he talked to people who had grown up there, the children of the card dealers and cocktail shakers, the jugglers and the dancers – young people who had borne witness to this strange city all their lives. One had her student loans and credit card limits stolen by her father. Another fled a sequence of exploiters until she found herself living in the storm drains under the casinos. There was the boy whose father entered him into a drinking contest when he was eight, the casino owner's son, the erudite contortionist turned stripper. Each told their own tale.
In Children of Las Vegas, O'Grady renews his partnership with photographer Steve Pyke. Through short essays, Pyke's portraits and ten witness testimonies, he pierces the city's glittering façade to reveal the darker reality that lies beneath.

KNOW ABOUT "Kailash Satyarthi" -...

Saurabh Singh Chauhan

This is small part of the introduction of the book: Kailash Satyarthi is a name synonymous with the fight against child labor. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Satyarthi has dedicated his life to rescuing children from exploitation and advocating for their right to education. His unwavering commitment to this cause has made him an inspiration to millions around the world. 
Satyarthi's journey began in the small town of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India, where he witnessed first-hand the plight of children forced into hazardous labor. Deeply moved by their suffering, he resolved to make a difference in their lives. In 1980, at the age of 26, Satyarthi quit his job as an electrical engineer to dedicate himself full-time to the cause of child liberation. He founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), which translates to "Save Childhood Movement" in English. BBA quickly became a grassroots movement, organizing raids on child labor hotspots and rescuing children from exploitation. 
Satyarthi's work was not without its challenges. He faced opposition from powerful vested interests who profited from child labor. He was threatened, harassed, and even imprisoned. But Satyarthi never wavered in his resolve. He continued to fight for the children, using his voice and his actions to raise awareness and demand change.

The Gunman And His Mother - Lee...

Steven Beschloss

The narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been told from many points of view, most significantly in the wave of books exploring the Warren Commission's findings and the conspiracy theories that followed. But for journalist Steven Beschloss, the story of Lee Harvey Oswald began with the troubled bond with his mother. 
 
 
 
Drawing on public records, key interviews with Marguerite Oswald and other family members, and Lee's own writing and statements, Beschloss traces the origins of an American tragedy back to the lonely boy who couldn't find a way to belong and the unstable mother. Often left to his own devices, young Oswald read heavily, skipped school, and hatched plans to make his mark on the world. The Gunman and His Mother reveals the complex parental relationship that turned a boy into a killer responsible for a crime that changed American history. 
 
 
 
This updated edition includes material from never-before-seen files containing Marguerite Oswald's personal writings, as well as a series of lawsuits Marguerite brought against various people. Not only do these documents complete the portrait of Lee's mother, but given her attacks on the media, conspiratorial mindset, and her sense of grievance, their inclusion sheds new light on our current political climate.
