Here in one volume is James Ellroy's first great body of work, an epic re-envisioning of postwar Los Angeles--etched in red and black and film-noir grays. The Black Dahlia depicts the secret infrastructure of L.A.'s most sensational murder case. A young cop morphs into obsessed lover and lust-crazed avenger. The Dahlia claims him. She is the deus ex machina of a boomtown in extremis. The cop's rogue investigation is a one-way ticket to hell. The Big Nowhere blends the crime novel and the political novel. It is winter, 1950--and the L.A. County Grand Jury is out to slam movieland Reds. It's a reverential shuck--and the three cops assigned to the job are out to grab all the glory they can. A series of brutal sex killings intervenes, and the job goes all-the-way bad. L.A. Confidential is the great novel of Los Angeles in the 1950s. Political corruption. Scandal-rag journalism. Bad racial juju and gangland wars. Six local stiffs slaughtered in an all-night hash house. The glorious and overreaching LAPD on an unprecedented scale. White Jazz gives us the tortured confession of a corrupt cop going down for the count. He's a slumlord, a killer, a parasitic exploiter. He's a pawn in a series of police power plays and starting to see that he's being had. He's just met a woman. Thus, he's determined to claw his way out of the horrifying world he's created--and he's determined to tell us everything. The L.A. Quartet is a groundbreaking work of American popular fiction.

AN EATING PLAN THAT CHANGES LIFESTYLES TO LOSE WEIGHT PERMANENTLY The L.A. Diet is a healthy eating plan that sets you on an unwavering course to permanent weight loss and lifelong health. It presents a comprehensive theory based on scientific evidence that explains why people become overweight. More importantly it explains how to alter diet and lifestyle to permanently shed unwanted body fat without ending up cold, tired, and hungry. The L.A. Diet Program will teach you how to eat generous portions of the right kinds of foods and to eat more frequently ("grazing") -- to satisfy your hunger--and still lose weight. The L.A. Diet explains why complex carbohydrate foods stoke your "metabolic furnace" to burn more calories. You'll learn why eating fat makes you fat by slowing metabolic heat production. This drives you to consume more calories and store the extra fat calories as insulating body fat. The L.A. Diet is based on an eating plan that includes low fat, high complex carbohydrate, high fiber foods. It encourages generous portions of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. The L.A. Diet introduces the concept of caloric density when evaluating foods rather than simply focusing on calories. Low calorically dense foods are those foods that have less concentrated calories based on their weight. You can enjoy generous portions of these foods --they'll fill you up, reduce appetite and hunger -- and help you lose weight. This is an important concept for so many dieters who are tired of restricting food intake, limiting portions, counting calories, and going hungry all day. The L.A. Diet explains why other diets don't work and why restricting caloric intake only creates an unresolvable conflict between the intellect and the appetite. The L.A. Diet tells you why dieting creates eating disorders and why eating disorders are not the cause of obesity but simply the result of irrational attempts to diet. The L.A. Diet takes the blame of past failures off the dieter's shoulders and places them squarely on the numerous irrational programs promising rapid weight loss while setting up the dieter for long term failure. This book first sets people straight about the myths and realities of weight loss and then provides a comprehensive "how to" section. The second part of The L.A. Diet explains how you can adopt a "grazing" style of eating which our bodies are designed by nature to thrive on. It contains scores of nutritional advice, eating plans, menus and recipes as well as nutrition charts to get you started. Tips on stocking your kitchen, balancing your menu plans for optimal nutrition, entertaining at home in style, travelling and making dining out a healthy experience. More than 100 recipes help you get started and show you how to graze to your heart's (and stomach's) content. You will learn how to enjoy food, lose weight, and improve your overall health. All of the recipes are created low in fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. You can enjoy guilt-free eating and at the same time lose weight. The best part also is that you will be eating foods that help reduce your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and type II diabetes. The L.A. Diet promises enjoyable, delicious food, eating to satisfy your appetite, improved health, and permanent weight loss without the negative consequences of restricting calories, and feeling chronic hunger pangs. The L.A. Diet is truly an eating plan for a longer, healthier life "Unlike so many books on the subject of dieting and weight control, The L.A. Diet undergirds all of its recommendations with scientific data and their explanation". --Hans Fisher, Ph.D. Chairman, Nutrition Department Rutgers University

AMEN 4 Youth, LLC is proudly presenting a highly innovative and exciting English Language Arts Alternative Literacy Curriculum titled S.L.A.M. (Spoken Lyrics with an Academic Mission). S.L.A.M., also known as Lyrical Education, integrates ELA instruction with a high packed engagement of Lyrical Instruction using a technique called L.I.P.P (Lyrical-writing In Performance Poetry), which builds written and oratorical skills while drawing from Spoken Word writings and performance Poetry. This technique simultaneously teaches students English Language Art skills, building upon a composite set of written and oral language components. These skills and therigor they induce prepares students to be able to Present knowledge and Ideas, retain information, and write and rehearse for oral presentation while collaborating with others. LIPP was created by award- winning poet, author, motivational speaker and education activist, Hakim Nathaniel Crampton, whose ground breaking curriculum, S.L.A.M. (Spoken Lyrics with an Academic Mission) is currently being used by several teachers within Jackson Public Schools, as well as Summer school programming in Harper Woods, Michigan. Hakim created SLAM to address the growing needs of diverse populations of students falling behind in literacy skill sets in both reading and writing. SLAM Lyrical Education uses its own Curriculum Workbooks designed to build the requisite Literacy skills meeting State Educational Standards as well as Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in the English Language Arts (ELA). SLAM is available to students grades 4-12 and freshman College undergrads. SLAM offers three curriculum workbooks, each workbook is specific to grade level engagement and literacy outcomes. These ranges cover Grades 4, 5 & 6 and 7, 8 & 9 and finally grades 10-12 and first and second year College Communications and English students. In Workbook 1, S.L.A.M. An Alternative Educational Model & Workbook Building Literacy Skills in English Language Arts, students learn 10 major Lessons that are adaptable across grade levels 10-12 and College as well as adaptable across class subjects. This is met by building upon the Literacy skills and content retention needed at those grade levels, focusing on Language concepts and components, Vocabulary and Syntax, the organization of Ideas, and Reading Comprehension. Workbook 1 contains Reviews, Fill-in the Blanks, Literary Word identifications, Extracting Literary Words from Prose, Vocabulary Builders, Biography composition, Speech Making Preparation and lastly, space for the students to compose their final written Lyrical Dissertation or Slam. Because SLAM is adaptable at each of the various grade levels, Teachers are able to assimilate their grade level curriculum with the SLAM methods. As a curriculum, Workbook 1 was constructed and designed to match each of the 10 Lessons with grade level expectations ranging in areas of Reading, Writing, Research, Textual Critique, and other Language Arts, such as Oratory, Theatrical Expression, and Stage Performance. For ELA Teachers, this allows them to co-relate both State and or the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and seamlessly integrate SLAM with their classroom course work. To further this goal, SLAM is designed to allow Teachers the adaptability to implement the workbook instruction as an in class assignment that allows them to produce an Academic Poetry Slam or APS. APS is a classroom competition among students that gives them a chance to SLAM an assignment for a grade. Hence, the gist of the title SLAM Our goal is to teach students how to incorporate Lyrical writing and oral traditions into classroom coursework, giving them a poetic and prose mastery over educational materials.
H.L.A. Hart is among the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, with an especially great influence on the philosophy of law. His 1961 book The Concept of Law has become an enduring classic of legal philosophy, and has also left a significant imprint on moral and political philosophy. In this volume, leading contemporary legal and political philosopher Matthew H. Kramer provides a crystal-clear analysis of Hart’s contributions to our understanding of the nature of law. He elucidates and scrutinizes every major aspect of Hart’s jurisprudential thinking, ranging from his general methodology to his defense of legal positivism. He shows how Hart’s achievement in The Concept of Law, despite the evolution of debates in subsequent decades, remains central to contemporary legal philosophy because it lends itself to being reinterpreted in light of new concerns and interests. Kramer therefore pays particular attention to the strength of Hart’s insights in the context of present-day disputes among philosophers over the reality of normative entities and properties and over the semantics of normative statements.This book is an invaluable guide to Hart’s thought for students and scholars of legal philosophy and jurisprudence, as well as moral and political philosophy.
