When a college drop-out accepts work on a cannabis farm in the woods of Northern California, he realizes almost immediately that the harsh realities of this life won't match his na ve fantasies. He'll have to work hard-and watch his back. Dubbed "Harmless" by his cultish cohorts, the young man learns the logistics of cultivation and the dark philosophies dictating conduct in this outlaw wilderness. The farm sits on a mountain the locals call Satan's Tumor, above a valley called The Green Cauldron, where dangerous elements have been brewing beneath the misty canopy. Overstimulated gangs of smugglers and well-funded foreign mobsters vie for control of this fertile territory, threatening to disrupt an elaborate ecosystem that predates history.And beneath it all, in the most dismal corners of The Green Cauldron, even darker forces are stirring... angry, agitated, pushed to the brink. The forest is an explosive tinderbox on the verge of ignition. If he's going to survive, Harmless must sink to new depths before facing unimaginable horrors on a feverish journey into Hell and back.Dopefoot is a distinctly Californian spin on dark woodland horror, a gory cryptid mystery fueled by butane, THC, and amphetamines, by Joshua Millican, author of Teleportasm and Chopping Mall: The Novelization.
The Federalist and the Constitution, whose cause it defended, were created amid the turmoil of political controversy. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, authors of The Federalist, were not theorists but fervent partisans in a campaign to gain acceptance -- by no means a sure thing at that time -- for the new plan of national government which they themselves had largely shaped. Their essays were immediately popular, were quickly collected and reissued in book form, and soon came to be recognized in America and Europe as a landmark in political theory -- the basic blueprint for the American system of government. In this new, provocative study, Edward Millican argues persuasively that the authors of The Federalist were not merely laying the groundwork for the American system but were setting forth the principles for the creation of a modern nation-state. He defends this thesis through a systematic analysis of the entire body of The Federalist, taking up each essay and showing how its contents relate to the idea of nationalism. Millican is one of few critics to examine the essays in this thoroughgoing fashion. He concludes that they do not constitute an apologia for states' rights, nor do they establish a passive government that would protect the rich and the privileged. In advancing these ideas, he takes decided issue with many scholars and commentators, including Ronald Reagan and the New Federalists. In One United People, Edward Millican puts forth one of the clearest and ablest expositions of The Federalist now in print. His vigorous advocacy of the theme of nationalism is bound to be controversial. But his reading of this classic of political theory will be one that future commentators must account for.
From the streets of Boston to global stardom, the journey of Aerosmith’s Joe Perry embodies determination, perseverance, and survival through 6 decades of rock music history. Joe Milliken chronicles the guitar hero’s early life and meteoric rise to stardom, then Aerosmith’s tragic collapse and historic comeback. He also explores Perry’s adventures as a solo artist, entrepreneur, and other band activities including the Joe Perry Project and the Hollywood Vampires. Intertwining exclusive interviews with childhood friends, fellow musicians, industry professionals, and other contemporaries, Livin’ on the Edge is the definitive portrait of an iconic rock star who remains the blues-drenched, rock ‘n’ roll soul of Aerosmith. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston, Joe Perry was obsessed with the guitar from an early age and set his sights on one goal: to become a professional musician, no matter the cost. In 1969, he met future bandmates Steven Tyler and Tom Hamilton in Sunapee, New Hampshire, and soon after, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer joined to complete the classic Aerosmith lineup. The band moved to Boston, endured 2 years of near-poverty, and on the very day they finally signed a management deal, found themselves holding a promoter’s contract in one hand and a looming eviction notice in the other. What followed would become one of rock’s most legendary roller coaster rides: An explosion of fame and fortune, clashing egos, addiction, internal conflict, and break up, followed by an unlikely and triumphant comeback – an undeniable resurgence that would lead to Aerosmith’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and cement their reputation as America’s greatest rock band. Over the course of their career, Aerosmith have earned 12 multi-platinum, 18 platinum, and 25 gold records totaling over 150 million units sold worldwide, forging a legacy of accolades that includes 4 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award nomination, induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, an ASCAP Founders Award, a Tony Award, and numerous Billboard, Cashbox, People’s Choice, MTV, Boston, and American Music Awards.
