"Excellent Mob Story" 5 STARS (Vigilant Reader Book Reviews) - "The plot of TONY TUCCI is compelling, involved and covers a lot of ground... The writing style is complex and intense."Tony Tucci's world is about to explode ...For over thirty years, he has been a trusted associate of Mario Conti, a powerful Mafia don. After saving Mario's life during a bloody assassination attempt, Tony helped build the family's construction business until the Don's dangerous rogue son, Dante, took over and put him out to pasture.While his status within the family is solid and his legend endures, Tony spends his time as the family driver, a day trader, and as an Equalizer for people in need. But now, Dante is involved in a dangerous arms deal that could not only harm the family, but also cause the death of thousands of innocents. As the clock counts down, an explosive jihadi plot emerges. With Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Jake Crowley closing in on an ego-driven Islamic terrorist plotting a massive strike against America, Tony must re-examine his life and values, and decide what's more important - his close bonds with the Conti Family or the oath he swore years ago as a United States Marine.Set against the backdrop of New York City and the Long Island Gold Coast, this compelling story intertwines Mafia culture, terrorist threats, and gripping questions about greed, loyalty and the public good.TONY TUCCI will take you on a ride you'll never forget.

Tony Ryan was one of the greatest Irishmen of the twentieth century. Ingenious, driven and sometimes reckless, his sheer spirit and adventurousness made him Ireland’s Aviator. Born in a railwayman’s cottage in County Tipperary he rose to enormous success. Ryan set up the airline leasing company, Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA), which quickly became the largest such enterprise in the world. But it famously crashed and burned and Ryan lost almost everything. What remained was a little airline called Ryanair which was chronically loss making. Ryan set about turning Ryanair around, putting in one of his assistants, Michael O’Leary, to help knock it into shape. The rest is history. Richard Aldous gives an irresistible insight into the machinations of the man who epitomised what it means to be an entrepreneur. ‘Fascinating’ The Sunday Times ‘Masterful’ The Sunday Independent ‘Reveals the warts as well as the successes of the Tipperary native’ Irish Independent ‘The Original Celtic Tiger’ The Sunday Independent

Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony O’Reilly, the postman who became front-page news in 2011 after he stole €1.75 million from An Post while he was a branch manager in Gorey, Co. Wexford. He used the money to fund a gambling addiction that began with a bet of €1 and eventually rose to €10 million, leading to the loss of his job, his family, his home – and winning him a prison sentence. This is his story. ‘Remarkable.’ The Sunday World ‘Incredible.’ The Guardian ‘Read it in a day … it pulls you in and traps you in a mix of high tension, disbelief, and sadness.’ Michael Foley ‘Tony 10 is probably the most compelling read of the year … a chilling, jaw-dropping bruiser of a book.’ The Irish Times ‘Picked it up one Sunday morning and could not put it down – absolutely blew my doors off.’ Paul Kimmage ‘Gripping and insightful. Easily one of the best non-fiction books of the year.’ Hot Press ‘I cannot think of a more important book ever written on any aspect of Irish sport.’ The Irish Examiner ‘There is more drama in Chapter 10 of this book alone than you’d find in an entire year’s subscription to Netflix.’ Brian Boyd ‘A spine-tingling tale, beautifully told.’ The Irish Independent ‘A brilliant, nerve-shredding account of one man's gambling addiction – and every word of it true. I highly recommend it.’ Paul Howard ‘A startling illustration of the silent devastation that gambling can inflict.’ The Racing Post ‘A stupendous piece of work.’ The Sunday Independent

Tony Garnett is the first book-length study of one of the most respected and prolific producers working in British television. From ground-breaking dramas from the 1960s such as Up the Junction and Cathy Come Home to the 'must see' series in the 1990s and 2000s such as This Life and The Cops, Garnett has produced some of the most important and influential British television drama. This book charts his career from his early days as an actor to his position as executive producer and head of World Productions, focusing on the ways in which he has helped to define the role of the creative producer, shaping the distinctive politics and aesthetics of the drama he has produced, and enabling and facilitating the contributions of others. Garnett's distinctive contribution to the development of a social realist aesthetic is also examined, through the documentary-inspired early single plays to the subversion of genre within popular drama series.

From ground-breaking dramas from the 1960s such as Up the Junction and Cathy Come Home to the 'must see' series in the 1990s and 2000s such as This Life and The Cops, Garnett has produced some of the most important and influential British television drama. This book charts Garnett's career from his early days as an actor to his position as executive producer and head of World Productions. Drawing on personal interviews, archival research, contextual analysis and selected case studies, Tony Garnett examines the ways in which Garnett has helped to define the role of the producer in British television drama. Arguing that Garnett was both a key creative and political influence on the work he produced and an enabler of the work of others, the book traces his often combative relationships with broadcasting institutions (especially the BBC). Additionally, the study discusses the films he made for the cinema and considers some of the ways in which Garnett's experiments in film technology ? 16 mm in the 1960s, digital video in the 1990s ? have shaped his creative output.Tony Garnett will be of interest to all levels of researchers and students of British television drama, media and film.

Tony Richardson was a key figure in British cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. Having established himself in the theatre with the first production of John Osborne’s landmark play Look Back in Anger, he became a central director in the New Wave, bringing greater realism to British cinema. He went on to make some of the most significant films of the 1960s including the multi Oscar-winning Tom Jones.This detailed and authoritative account of Richardson’s career provides a reassessment of his achievements. As well as looking at his best known films, it considers neglected works such as Ned Kelly and Joseph Andrews, illustrating how Richardson remained a champion of the socially marginalised.In mapping out his life and work, from the English Stage Company to his final films in America, Shail re-establishes Richardson’s at the front rank of British film directors, confirming his contribution to a period of dynamic change in British culture.

Architectural Press
2003

Tony Hunt's Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture. This new edition features 100 previously unpublished sketches. These sketches illustrate alternative structural concepts, ideas and details developed by Tony Hunt for over one hundred projects throughout his professional life. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the field of structural engineering and were either produced at the time of relevant design meetings or as a response to a problem posed by an architect and are, therefore, a record of ideas proposed at the particular time. They are a source of design inspiration and an insight into the work of this well respected engineer.

Tony Ford has been in football since 1974 and was awarded an MBE in 2001 for his services to sport. He has starred for several Football League clubs, and he holds the appearance record for any player in the history of British football. Tony's story is one of struggle. He is a black footballer who during the 1970s, '80s and '90s plied his trade at Sunderland, Bradford City, Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, Scunthorpe Utd, Mansfield, Grimsby and Rochdale.In those politically incorrect days he suffered the usual abuse any ethnic minority footballer would suffer not just from opposing players and fans, but from within the clubs he played for. However, he rose above it, maintained his discipline, and today is the most promising manager outside of the Premiership. His story will show a man who was determined to succeed, both on and off the pitch, and with the help of his family is one of the north's most respected footballers.This will be an official biography that will be have a lot of involvement from the subject. It will include many fascinating anecdotes from the dressing room (and after playing in 1,100 League games, Tony Ford has quite a few of them!), detailed career statistics and many photograph's. Endorsements will come from Brian Clough, Lou Macari, Emlyn Hughes, Paul Gascoigne, David Platt and Alex Ferguson.

pokkari
Baseball player Tony Lazzeri was the first great Italian-American sports superstar. He was known for his excellent glove, strong throwing arm and good speed, as well as his honesty, integrity and support of his teammates. This member of the 1927 Murderers' Row of the New York Yankees batted sixth behind Earl Combs, Mark Koenig, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Bob Meusel. The major league's first power-hitting second baseman, he batted over .300 five times and drove in over 100 runs in seven seasons. He was the Yankees regular second baseman for twelve consecutive seasons and helped them win six pennants and five world championships. Chosen to play in the first All-Star Game in 1933, he made the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. Researched from primary sources as well as interviews with his peers, this biography covers Lazzeri's life from his birth in San Francisco to Italian immigrants; his harsh, poverty-stricken childhood, and struggles with epilepsy (though he never suffered an attack while playing baseball); through every moment of his impressive career (as well as the time he struck out against Grover Cleveland Alexander in Game Seven of the 1926 World Series); ending with his death at age 42 of a heart attack. Lazzeri's batting record is included as an appendix and the work is illustrated with both private and public photographs.

Tony Kushner

Tony Kushner

McFarland Co Inc
2006
pokkari
Playwright Tony Kushner is a voice of intellectualism, neo-socialism, gay activism and political outrage in an era when the political pendulum has swayed to the right. Through scalding humor, thought, and compassion, he explores political dynamics and the human condition in the modern era, shedding light on and giving hope for the direst of circumstances. His best known work, Angels in America, delves beneath the anti-gay rhetoric and political superficiality of the AIDS pandemic to true suffering and transformation. His political epic Homebody/Kabul engages the issue of terrorism and conflicting fundamental beliefs. In this book 11 scholars explore the works of Tony Kushner across his career. Several address Angels: one explores the presentation of homosexuality by Kushner compared to that of Tennessee Williams, who wrote in a less tolerant era; another places Angels in the contexts of Hegel's concept of freedom and the gay revolution; a third discusses the play in terms of queer theory and politics. Homebody/Kabul is examined in two essays, one analyzing media reaction, the other exploring cultural and economic differences, religious fundamentalism and the "West's luxurious predominance in the world." Other studies address relationships in Kushner's works to William Inge's 1950 play Come Back, Little Sheba; the plays of experimentalist Adrienne Kennedy; and fascist creep in the era of playwrights W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, among other topics.
