Story2
When it comes to Skinheads, I see a lot of people these days re-writing history, whitewashing the youth cult or bending the truth to suit their political narrative. I spent over ten years of my young life as a London Bootboy and became one of the most famous Skinheads in the world. Being a Skinhead had a profound effect on me. Even though I walked away from that life, and left it in the last century, I still feel the shockwaves of my experience and still find people with nefarious agendas trying to tell their version of my story.

What does it mean to build a life — when life first breaks you? A Man Under Construction is a powerful literary memoir about survival, responsibility, migration, leadership and inner growth. Born from a near-fatal accident in infancy, Fernando J. M. Lopes grows up between fragility and resilience, navigating childhood instability, early fatherhood, turbulent relationships, and the demanding reality of rebuilding himself in London’s construction industry. Through honest reflection and poetic clarity, this book traces the evolution of a man who refuses to remain defined by circumstance.

This riveting sequel to My Bloody Life traces Reymundo Sanchez's struggle to create a "normal" life outside the Latin Kings, one of the nation's most notorious street gangs, and to move beyond his past. Sanchez illustrates how the Latin King motto "once a king, always a king" rings true and details the difficulty and danger of leaving that life behind. Filled with heart-pounding scenes of his backslide into drugs, sex, and violence, Once a King, Always a King recounts how Sanchez wound up in prison and provides an engrossing firsthand account of the Latin Kings.

From brass knuckle beatdowns on the schoolyard to showdowns with the SEC on the national news, every second of Deaton’s life has been a fight for survival. This book is the raw, wild John Deaton story, straight from the source. Born in one of the worst neighborhoods in Detroit--the kind of place the city cordoned off with warning signs--and growing up surrounded by hustlers, addicts, abusers, gang bangers, and the downtrodden, Deaton became a fighter, with violence becoming second nature.

Niels Bohr (1885-1962) er en af de mest berømte videnskabsmænd, Danmark nogensinde har fostret. Han modtog Nobelprisen for sit banebrydende arbejde med at kortlægge brintatomet, og han bidrog desuden til forståelsen af atomets struktur og udviklingen af brintatomet. Under Anden Verdenskrig spillede han en afgørende rolle i udviklingen af den første atombombe, ligesom han hjalp jødiske videnskabsfolk ud af Nazi-tyskland. Portrættet af Niels Bohr er en del af en ny serie med korte, velresearchede og velfortalte portrætter af kendte danskere.

In Homegrown, cultural critics Bell Hooks and Amalia Mesa-Bains reflect on the innate solidarity between Black and Latino culture. Riffing on everything from home and family to multiculturalism and the mass media, Hooks and Mesa-Bains invite listeners to re-examine and confront the polarizing mainstream discourse about Black-Latino relationships that is too often negative in its emphasis on political splits between people of color. A work of activism through dialogue, Homegrown is a declaration of solidarity that rings true even ten years after its first publication.
