October 15, 1995. Congress makes a decision changing the federal drug law, inciting simultaneous riots in over 10 federal prisons as a result of the seemingly racial motivation, causing over 39 million dollars in damage.And no one reported it.Joel Blaeser survived the riot at FCI Talladega, the first of over ten, only to be charged with inciting it along with 21 other convicts, all black. An inspiring educational book that breaks many myths about the war on drugs, the american prison system and race in america. Joel's story chronicles his journey through the prison system, beginning with his trek across the globe following the Grateful Dead, then spanning the 6 federal prisons he did time in, in USP Marion, the most dangerous federal super maximum prison ever built, eventually culminating in the loss of his 2.9 million dollar lake estate and recovery from alcohol. Incarcerated (after losing his federal jury trial) as a naive Midwesterner 23 year old, Joel is amongst and one of the morally corrupt living in lock up where the guards are as corrupt as the criminals. A backstage pass to a otherwise off limits world, Joel's story's rich unvarnished details of life inside "the" most predacious super maximum prison ever devised, USP Marion during the 1990's, where the entire prison population was on 22-23 hour lock down.Sentenced to 151 months as a first time non violent offender, he grew up in a university of crime; learning how to survive both in and outside of the spiritually bereft walls of prison from the likes of John gotti, Bruce Pierce, James (Doc) Holliday and many others, some of the most predacious and sophisticated criminals of our time. The genesis of his rehabilitation was 23 hour solitary lockdown in USP Marion.A story of loss, injustice and redemption, this autobiographical account is speckled with raw, human experience in the form of Joel's letters to loved ones from USP Marion. race relations, solitary confinement, political uprising, usp marion, grateful dead tour, prison psychology, war on drugs, pop in the housing bubble, poker,

An extraordinary "practical resource for beginners" looking to write their own memoir—now new and revised (Kirkus Reviews)! The greatest story you could write is one you've experienced yourself.

Through the use of disarmingly frank, but wildly fun tactics that offer you simple and effective guidelines that work, you can stop treading water in writing exercises or hiding behind writer's block.

The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. “The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what’s said and in what is left out.”—ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler’s rise to power, the Blumenthal family—father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert—were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults’ Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. “A harrowing and often moving account.”—School Library Journal

'This is what I really want. I want to discover ways to discriminate the important things in human life. I want to find ways of getting past this blind fumbling with existence.' - Marion Milner, from A Life of One’s Own. How often do we really ask ourselves, 'What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?' In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner, a renowned British psychoanalyst, artist and autobiographer, takes us on an extraordinary and compelling seven-year inward journey to discover what it is that makes her happy. On its first publication, W. H. Auden found the book 'as exciting as a detective story' and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in the chase. Using her own personal diaries, she analyses moments of everyday life that can bring surprising joy, such as walking, listening to music, and drawing. She also records, in a disarmingly clear and insightful manner, the struggle between the urge to order and control one’s thoughts and standing back to let them wander where they may. A pioneering account of lived experience that also anticipates the contemporary phenomenon of mindfulness, A Life of One’s Own is a great adventure in thinking and living whose insights remain as fresh today as they were on the book’s first publication in the 1930s. This Routledge Classics edition includes a revised Introduction by Rachel Bowlby.

In an astonishing unfurling of our universe, Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes celebrate the birth of every child. Before the universe was formed, before time and space existed, there was . . . nothing. But then . . . BANG! Stars caught fire and burned so long that they exploded, flinging stardust everywhere. And the ash of those stars turned into planets. Into our Earth. And into us. In a poetic text, Marion Dane Bauer takes readers from the trillionth of a second when our universe was born to the singularities that became each one of us, while vivid illustrations by Ekua Holmes capture the void before the Big Bang and the ensuing life that burst across galaxies. A seamless blend of science and art, this picture book reveals the composition of our world and beyond — and how we are all the stuff of stars.
