Free Download The lesser tragedy of death By Garc & amp;Atilde; & amp;shy;a, Cristina
2010 | 95 Pages | ISBN: 1936070014 | EPUB | 1 MB
"The highly anticipated debut poetry collection from the best-selling author of Dreaming in Cuban. In a collection of poems that is part biography, part dialogue, part history and part chorale, The Lesser Tragedy of Death aims to capture the ephemeral, brutal life of one unnamed "brother." His sister’s voice provides the narrative thrust-probing, questioning, regretful-revisiting scenes from their past and arguing with her brother over the family legacy and her complicity in his demise. What happened that led this gentle, generous boy to a world of drugs, homelessness, and crime? What upheavals, personal and political, spun their lives in such radically different directions? Who bears responsibility? The sister tries to piece together their stories from discordant shards, hearsay, speculation, witnessing. Her reports are contested by the brother, corroborated by unreliable others, undermining the nature of inquiry itself."–

Free Download The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America By Philip K. Howard
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0812982746 | EPUB | 2 MB
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"We need a new idea of how to govern. The current system is broken. Law is supposed to be a framework for humans to make choices, not the replacement for free choice." So notes Philip K. Howard in the new Afterword to his explosive manifesto The Death of Common Sense. Here Howard offers nothing less than a fresh, lucid, practical operating system for modern democracy. America is drowning-in law, lawsuits, and nearly endless red tape. Before acting or making a decision, we often abandon our best instincts. We pause, we worry, we equivocate, and then we divert our energy into trying to protect ourselves. Filled with one too many examples of bureaucratic overreach, The Death of Common Sense demonstrates how we-and our country-can at last get back on track.
