Описание: On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was brutally beaten and murdered in the street near her apartment, in full view of more than three dozen friends and neighbors--and no one did a thing to stop it. More than thirty-five years after its first publication, Thirty-Eight Witnesses, the true account of what transpired that night in Queens, New York, continues to disturb us. We would like to think that we would step in and do what we could to stop the carnage. But not much has changed in the ensuing years, as crime goes on all around us and we do nothing to help. Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter A. M. Rosenthal covered the case for the paper as its city editor, and his chronicle of the events became this book. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, part sociological study, a disturbing story of urban apathy, Thirty-Eight Witnesses puts readers on the gritty sidewalk of the murder scene and speaks of the need for change. In the ensuing years, the case has become famous, and today in criminology classes, students learn about witnesses and the Genovese Effect. A new foreword discusses the historical legacy of the case and how little has changed in fifty-plus years.

The goal of this book is two-fold. First, for Montana's Daughters of the American Revolution, it is a permanent record of its 111 years of visibly marking the state's important historic sites. Second, for lovers of Montana history, the book provides a rare look at the stories (and back-stories) behind these bronze and granite sentinels of our past.
As prominent DAR member Laura Tolman Scott explained in 1929, "We are living in the period of Montana's development when we are becoming conscious that we have a history. A history made up of enchanting tales more fascinating than fiction, and landmarks holding far greater glamour than the older shrines of the east."
In reading this book, you will learn:
The year DAR started its "marking of historic sites" program
Which DAR chapter bankrupted itself to install a marker in 1925
The dedication ceremonies that drew audiences of 1,000 and more
The nine historic forts included in DAR's markers program
When in the early 1900s the first marker was dedicated ... and the date of the most recent
In addition to detailing the history of the 33 individual DAR markers that remain, the 220-page book also provides photographs (both current and historic), the markers' GPS coordinates, and references that will be of interest to those who enjoy...or study...Montana's history. The final two chapters describe DAR's historic markers that have been lost to time and Montana DAR's "other commemorations," including those in New York, Washington D.C., and high up in the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, straddling Idaho and Montana.

In Full Figured 7, Carl Weber brings together two literary divas to give readers what they've been asking for: empowering and entertaining stories about big, beautiful women.
Sugar on the Side
Sassy, sophisticated, and sensual are the three adjectives Sugar uses to define her personality, her style, and her shapely curves. Fiercely confident about her luxurious, full-figured body, Sugar sashays through Chicago's nightlife belting high notes as a well-known singing sensation. Idolized by many, only few know her secret: she and her long-time manager Ace share more than a common passion for Sugar's career--they're lovers.
At Ace's insistence, Sugar has always agreed to secrecy for the sake of her career, but now she's tired of hiding just to maintain her spotlight. Sugar is ready to reveal her true love for Ace. Too bad Ace would rather keep Sugar right in her place--as a sweet scoop of sugar on the side.
Queen Con
Alicia considers herself nothing less than a survivor after escaping years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her high school love. Now she does whatever is necessary in order to maintain the picture-perfect image she thinks she needs to present as a female working for the Virginia Beach Police Department.
Tia is Alicia's polar opposite. She's an enticing con woman who's broken every law, deliberately searching for cracks and loopholes in the system. Tia's main goal is to live the lavish lifestyle she adores without having to work an honest nine-to-five to achieve it.
When their worlds collide, it's everything but ordinary. Alicia finds herself drawn into a world she swore to defend against. They say opposites attract, but Alicia starts to wonder if her fascination with Tia is because they are actually birds of the same feather.
