Cannabis: A History - Martin Booth - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

To some it''s antisocial anathema, to others it is a harmless way to relax, or provides relief from crippling pain. Some fear it is a dangerous drug that leads to ''reefer madness'' and addiction; to others still it is a legal anomaly and should be decriminalized. Whatever the viewpoint, and by whatever name it is known, cannabis - or marijuana, hashish, pot, dope, kif, weed, dagga, grass, ganja - incites debate at every level. In this definitive study, Martin Booth - author of the acclaimed OPIUM: A HISTORY - charts the history of cannabis from the Neolithic period to the present day. It is a fascinating, colourful tale of medical advance, religious enlightenment, political subterfuge and human rights; of law enforcement and customs officers, smugglers, street pushers, gang warfare, writers, artists, musicians, hippies and pot-heads.Booth chronicles the remarkable and often mystifying process through which cannabis, a relatively harmless substance, became outlawed throughout the Western world, and the devastating effect such legislation has had on the global economy. Above all, he demonstrates how the case for decriminalization remains one of the twenty-first century''s hottest topics.

This Family of Things - Alison (author) Jameson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

On his way back up from the yard Bird had seen something white and round – a girl who had curled herself into a ball. Lifting her was like retrieving a ball of newspaper from out of the grass or an empty crisp bag that someone had flung over the ditch. She seemed to lack the bones and meat and muscle of real people. She felt as if she was filled with feathers. On the day Midge Connors comes hurtling into Bird Keegan’s life, she flings open his small, quiet world. He and his two sisters, Olive and Margaret, have lived in the same isolated community all their lives, each one more alone than the others can know. Taking in damaged, sharp-edged Midge, Bird invites the scorn of his neighbours and siblings. And as they slowly mend each other, family bonds – and the tie of the land – begin to weigh down on their tentative relationship. Can it survive the misunderstandings, contempt and violence of others?A poignant and powerful study of the emotional lives of three siblings and the girl who breaks through their solitude.

Essex Boy - Steven Ellis - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Two films and numerous books have attempted to tell the shocking story of two of Britain''s most ruthless gangs. For 20 years, the Essex Boys firm and their successors, the New Generation, controlled a lucrative drugs empire in Essex and throughout the south east of England by using intimidation, gratuitous violence and murder. Rampaging through the streets and clubland, they destroyed anything and anybody that dared to get in their way. Eventually torn apart by greed and paranoia, the gang members became victims of their own vile trade and hate-filled actions. Pat Tate, Tony Tucker and Craig Rolfe were all blasted repeatedly with a shotgun as they sat in their Range Rover down a remote farm track. Dean Boshell was lured to allotments, then beaten and shot execution-style three times through the head. Others, such as Darren Nicholls and Damon Alvin, turned Super Grass and disappeared into the witness protection scheme never to be seen again, while three other men are in prison serving life sentences. Steve `Nipper` Ellis is the last man standing, the only member to have survived the bloody reign of both gangs. In Essex Boy , he tells his shocking story for the first time, and reveals just how close he came to being both murderer and murder victim.

Paint it White - Gary Edwards - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In his dedication to Leeds United, Gary Edwards has no rivals. He has seen every Leeds game since 17 January 1968, home and away. League, Cup and Europe. And pre-season friendlies.* Hell, he even watches the reserves in his spare time. Following Leeds, he''s been there, done that and designed the T-shirt. Although a painter and decorator-cum-signwriter-cum-cartoonist, he''s never taken a break from his life as a full-time football fan. He''s made a name for himself covering over red paint with white for free. He''s visited every country in Europe and flown all over the rest of the world to watch Leeds play. If Leeds organised a five-a-side on the moon, he''d be on the first shuttle flight there. Travelling the world to watch hundreds of players run around acres of grass, he''s also found time to drink gallons of ale, see oceans of flesh and protect hundreds of animals. He''s saved lobsters in Barcelona, clay pigeons in Worksop, frogs in Kuala Lumpur and worms - yes, worms - in Yorkshire. He''s been shot at in Greece, run over in Denmark, frightened the king in Sweden and had a beer with an elephant in Bangkok. All this and still found the time to never miss a match or another chance to rid the world of the evil that is red in all its forms. Behind him are almost four decades of Leeds, lunacy, laughter and white paint.

The Purpose of Power - Alicia Garza - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Must-Read Book of 2020 - TIME ''Should be read around the world.'' Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist ''Garza is ferociously smart and laser-focused... her passion is infectious.'' Guardian _______________ Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia Garza wrote what she calls ''a love letter to Black people'' on Facebook. But hashtags don''t build movements, she tells us. People do. Interwoven with Garza''s experience of life as a Black woman, The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white lives by galvanizing people to create change. It''s an insight into grass roots organizing to deliver basic needs - affordable housing, workplace protections, access to good education - to those locked out of the economy by racism. It is an attempt not only to make sense of where Black Lives Matter came from but also to understand the possibilities that Black Lives Matter and movements like it hold for our collective futures. Ultimately, it''s an appeal to hearts and minds, demanding that we think about our privileges and prejudices and ask how we might contribute to the change we want to see in the world._______________ ''Alicia Garza combines immense wisdom with political courage to inspire a new generation of activists, dreamers and leaders... People like Alicia have been speaking up for decades. If we want to turn protest into substantive change, it''s about time we finally listened.'' David Lammy, MP ''Insightful, compelling and necessary.'' Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy
