Tokyo Vice

A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist.Jake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza.

But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.

My Life as a Body

Eighteen-year-old Augie, very bright and very tall, thinks that she is never going to experience either sex or love, until she starts tutoring a boy suffering partial paralysis from an accident.

Tokyo Tribes

Ornate with hip-hop trappings and packed with gangland grit, Tokyo Tribes paints a vivid, somewhat surreal vision of urban youth. Rival gangs from various Tokyo barrios press each other for turf, leaving many a foot soldier bereft of life in the violent clashes. When the heat between two of the clans waxes personal, a bitter rivalry explodes into all out warfare. Manga-ka Santa Inoue's hard-hitting yet fantastical tale of Tokyo street gangs battling it out in the concrete sprawl of Japan's capital raises the bar for manga storytelling, transcending genres and conventions, and East-West competition.

Oldboy Manga

In time, he lost himself... changed... transformed himself into something else... something hard... something lethal. Suddenly one day, his incarceration ends, again without explanation. He is sedated, stuffed inside a trunk, and dumped in a park. When he awakes, he is free to reclaim what's left of his life... and what's left is revenge.

Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady

  


Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady is Florence King's classic memoir of her upbringing in an eccentric Southern family, told with all the uproarious wit and gusto that has made her one of the most admired writers in the country.

But after all, as Florence reminds us, "no matter which sex I went to bed with, I never smoked on the street."

Milk The Deadly Poison

America's drug stores and supermarkets are stocked with many remedies designed to counteract adverse reactions brought about from consuming milk and dairy products. Pills for headaches, sprays for clogged nasal passages, decongestants and antihistamines to alleviate allergic symptoms line the shelves. Stool softeners and laxatives are needed to relieve intestinal gas, bloating, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome, caused by lactose intolerance which plagues three quarters of the human race. Casein in milk has been described as a primary cause of mucous, congestion and childhood earaches. Without dairy consumption, there might not be a need for those antidotes.

According to author Robert Cohen, "A sip of milk contains hundreds of different substances, each one having the potential to exert a powerful biological effect when taken independently of the others. Proteins and hormones, fat and cholesterol, pesticides with vitamin D added, viruses and bacteria (including bovine leukemia, bovine tuberculosis and cow immunodeficiency virus) all combine to produce a vast array of ailments in our society."

Dairy cows are also injected with genetically engineered versions of their own growth hormones which makes greater milk production possible. The new milk is different from the old milk. Biotechnology has opened up a Pandora's box of demons and dilemmas. "Wholesome" milk contains powerful growth hormones. The new milk from cows treated with the genetically engineered bovine protein contains increased levels of these same potent growth factors. This milk controversy, brought about by genetic engineering, has placed the dairy industry under an investigative microscope.

This exhaustively researched book, MILK - The Deadly Poison, investigates to what end billions of dairy industry dollars have been used to influence the FDA and Congress as well as the scientific and medical establishment, misleading us about the dangers of consuming milk and dairy products. This book will reveal to Americans that milk is indeed a "deadly poison."

The average American drinks 8 ounces of beer per day while total milk and dairy products consumed equal 26 ounces per day, more than triple the amount of beer. One 12-ounce glass of beer contains 144 calories and no fat. On the other hand, a 12-ounce glass of milk contains 300 calories and 16 grams of fat. Beer takes the rap for dairy, and protruding stomachs should be labeled "milk bellies." - Barnes and Noble

The Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich manuscript is the most mysterious of all texts. It is seven by ten inches in size, and about 200 pages long. It is made of soft, light-brown vellum. It is written in a flowing cursive script in alphabet that has never been seen elsewhere. Nobody knows what it means. During World War II some of the top military code-breakers in America tried to decipher it, but failed. A professor at the University of Pennsylvania seems to have gone insane trying to figure it out. Though the manuscript was found in Italy, statistical analyses show the text is completely different in character from any European language - University of California, Riverside.
