Free Download The short and tragic life of Robert Peace : a brilliant young man who left Newark for the Ivy League By Hobbs, Jeff; Peace, Robert
2014 | 406 Pages | ISBN: 147673190X | EPUB | 5 MB
Peace was a talented young African-American man who escaped the slums of Newark for Yale University, only to succumb to the dangers of the streets — and of one’s own nature — when he returned home. When Hobbs arrived at Yale University, he became fast friends with Peace, his college roommate for four years. Peace’s life was rough from the beginning in the crime-ridden streets of Newark in the 1980s, and he carried with him the difficult dual nature of his existence, "fronting" in Yale and at home. Through an honest rendering of Peace’s relationships, Hobbs examines the collision of two fiercely insular worlds.

English | ASIN: B0CM43VMPT | 2023 | M4B@64 kbps | ~07:26:00 | 223 MB
In October 1913, 261 miners and two rescuers died when a massive explosion ripped through a mine operated by Phelps, Dodge & Company in Dawson, New Mexico. Ten years later, a second blast claimed the lives of another 120 miners. Today, Dawson is a deserted ghost town. All that remains is a sea of white iron crosses memorializing the nearly four hundred miners killed in the two explosions-a death toll unmatched by mine disasters in any other town in America.
Now, to mark the centennial of the second disaster, veteran journalist Nick Pappas tells the tragic story of what was once New Mexico’s largest and most modern company town and of how the strong, determined residents of the community coped with two heartbreaking catastrophes.

English | 2010 | pages: 768 | ISBN: 0676975852 | EPUB | 3,5 mb
Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion. The guilty verdict was upheld, and finally this unprecedented tale of true crime could be told.

Covering the case of one of North America’s most prolific serial killers gave Stevie Cameron access not only to the story as it unfolded over many years in two British Columbia courthouses, but also to information unknown to the police-and not in the transcripts of their interviews with Pickton-such as from Pickton’s long-time best friend, Lisa Yelds, and from several women who survived terrifying encounters with him. Cameron uncovers what was behind law enforcement’s refusal to believe that a serial killer was at work.
