Synopsis Us/Nosotros by : Rodrigo Díaz Carrillo

This is a book of freeform poetry written in both, English and Spanish from the point of view of a man who, without formal education and from a small village in the State of Jalisco, México, emigrated to the United States along thousands of others in search of a better life. In plain, visual language, he tells stories about his youth, about his family and traditions, and the sharp contrast between two worlds. The sometimes crude reality of his poems describe his arrival, his progress not only on learning English without a schoolroom but also his start on the labor force including picking fruit in California, his mishaps and adventures, his progress fitting in and, finally, the way he sees his home country at this stage on his life. Este es un libro de poesía espontánea escrito en ambos, Inglés y Español, desde el punto de vista de un hombre quien, sin una educación formal y proveniente de un pequeño rancho en el Estado de Jalisco, México, emigró a los Estados Unidos como lo hicierom miles de otros en búsqueda de una vida mejor. En un lenguaje sencillo y visual, él cuenta historias de su juventud, de su familia y tradiciónes y el agudo contraste entre dos mundos. En una forma realista y algunas veces cruda, él describe en sus poemas su llegada, su progreso no solamente en aprender el Inglés sin un salón de clases pero también su comienzo en la fuerza laboral incluyendo la pizca de fruta en California, sus tropiezos y aventuras, su progreso de asimilación y, finalmente, la forma en que vé a su país natal hasta esta etapa de su vida.

Synopsis Grit, Noise, and Revolution by : David A. Carson

". . . a great blow-by-blow account of an exciting and still-legendary scene." ---Marshall Crenshaw From the early days of John Lee Hooker to the heyday of Motown and beyond, Detroit has enjoyed a long reputation as one of the crucibles of American pop music. In Grit, Noise, and Revolution, David Carson turns the spotlight on those hard-rocking, long-haired musicians-influenced by Detroit's R&B heritage-who ultimately helped change the face of rock 'n' roll. Carson tells the story of some of the great garage-inspired, blue-collar Motor City rock 'n' roll bands that exemplified the Detroit rock sound: The MC5, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, SRC, the Bob Seger System, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, and Grand Funk Railroad. An indispensable guide for rock aficionados, Grit, Noise, and Revolution features stories of these groundbreaking groups and is the first book to survey Detroit music of the 1960s and 70s-a pivotal era in rock music history.

Synopsis Viva La Madness by : J. J. Connolly

The renowned author explores the modern world of international crime in this “stunningly original . . . utterly mesmerizing” sequel to Layer Cake (Booklist). J.J. Connolly made crime fiction history with his acclaimed debut novel Layer Cake, which he adapted into a cult classic film starring Daniel Craig and Sienna Miller. Now Connolly continues the story of his anonymous hero in a novel that once again combines razor-sharp dialogue and quick-fire violence with a deep knowledge of criminal pathos. From the London underworld, Viva la Madness moves to international crime with trans-Atlantic drug deals, money laundering, and high-tech electronic fraud. In a dazzling combination of London low-life, Caribbean high-life, and Venezuelan drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair, our hero's voice and mission are authentic, thrilling, and whiplash-inducing in equal shares.
