Anonimo

Sinossi

Under the Bridge: Untold Story Behind the Murder of Reena Virk is a haunting exploration of one of Canada’s most tragic and unsettling crimes. Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old girl, fell victim to a brutal act of violence at the hands of her peers, forever changing the community of Victoria, British Columbia. This book delves deep into the events leading up to that fateful November night, the horrifying attack beneath the Craigflower Bridge, and the aftermath that sparked a national conversation on bullying, youth violence, and the failures of the systems meant to protect vulnerable teens.
Through meticulous research, eyewitness accounts, and court records, Under the Bridge uncovers the untold aspects of Reena’s story—the toxic peer pressures, the hidden struggles of a young girl trying to find acceptance, and the dark realities of adolescent cruelty that shocked the nation. The book also sheds light on the enduring legacy of Reena’s murder, examining how it challenged societal views on youth crime and spurred reform in anti-bullying laws across the country.
This is not just a true crime story; it is a powerful reflection on humanity’s capacity for both violence and empathy. Under the Bridge invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about bullying, peer pressure, and the social dynamics that lead to unspeakable acts, while also honoring the memory of a life tragically cut short.

Enemies of the People

Sam Jordison

Something has gone wrong. We're living in an age of celebratory racism, extreme inequality, uncertainty and fear. We're governed by people who claim to be populist but who seem to hate everyone. There are idiots at the wheel and we're heading for a cliff in a big red bus and no one knows how to save us.
Enemies of The People reveals who has taken us to this dizzying precipice. It provides the actual, non-alternative facts about Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Vladimir Putin and their charming friends – and also explains where they got their crazy ideas. Why did people turn so mean? How did so-called social networks like Facebook become so very anti-social? Why did anyone think it would be a good idea to privatise railways? Just how much should we fear the robots? Why is no one doing anything about Global Warming? Why is no one doing anything about Boris Johnson either?
This book explains all those vital questions and more.
Remember, though – they say history is written by the victors and fortunately, many of those currently winning can’t seem to write more than 140 characters at a time. This gives us the golden opportunity to set the record straight and snatch back the narrative. But if we’ve any chance of victory, we first need to know our enemy.
In Enemies of The People, Sam Jordison paints a vivid picture of the current political landscape, marked by corruption, misconduct, and a culture of fear. He delves into the biographies of famous figures, revealing their popular yet questionable ideologies.
For fans of Dan Kieran (The Surfboard), and Stephen Browning (Norfolk at War, 1939–45).

Desert Kingdoms to Global Powers...

Rory Miller

An expert in Arab Gulf politics offers a revealing analysis of the region’s stunning rise to global power and the challenges it confronts today.

He also investigates how the shrewd Arab Gulf rulers who have overcome crisis after crisis meet the unpredictable future.   The Arab Gulf region has become a global hub for travel, tourism, sports, culture, trade, and finance. But can the autocratic regimes maintain stability at home and influence abroad as they deal with the demands of social and democratic reform?
