Mafia: The Government's Secret File on Organized Crime
by Sam Giancana“A treasure trove for true crime buffs and mob aficionados—the mug shots alone are worth the price of admission.” —Nicholas Pileggi, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of WiseguyForeword by Sam GiancanaSome time in the early 1960s, during the golden age of organized crime in America—the era that would inspire The Godfather, Goodfellas, and even The Sopranos—federal investigators pulled every known piece of information on more than 800 Mafia members worldwide into a thick, phone-book-sized directory. From old-school gangsters like Lucky Luciano and Mickey Cohen to young turks like Paul Castellano and Vinny “The Chin” Gigante, the guide offered at-a-glance profiles of small-time thugs and major dons alike . . . and was allegedly the book Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy used to investigate the mob.Recently discovered, and published for the first time in this facsimile edition, Mafia is a treasure trove of info on the underworld in mid-century America—a revelatory artifact and an irresistible read.“Fascinating . . . A panoramic view of the American underworld—the national face seen in a fun house mirror.” —The New York Times Book Review“For mobheads and true crime fanatics, [Mafia] is the equivalent of a hijacked truck of unmarked bills. It’s also a quirky little slice of the American dream.” —Salon.com “Make room on your true-crime bookshelf for this veritable high school yearbook of America’s criminal class.” —T. J. English, New York Times–bestselling author of Born to Kill“Mafia is the Bible for Mafia-watchers and amateur detectives everywhere.” —Legs McNeil, coauthor of Please Kill Me

The Magdalenes: Prostitution in the Nineteenth Century (Routledge Library Editions: Women's History)
by Linda MahoodThe nineteenth century witnessed a discursive explosion around the subject of sex. Historical evidence indicates that the sexual behaviour which had always been punishable began to be spoken of, regulated, and policed in new ways. Prostitutes were no longer dragged through the town, dunked in lakes, whipped and branded. Medieval forms of punishment shifted from the emphasis on punishing the body to punishing the mind. Building on the work of Foucault, Walkowitz, and Mort, Linda Mahood traces and examines new approached emerging throughout the nineteenth century towards prostitution and looks at the apparatus and institutions created for its regulation and control. In particular, throughout the century, the bourgeoisie contributed regularly to the discourse on the prostitution problem, the debate focusing on the sexual and vocational behaviour of working class women. The thrust of the discourse, however, was not just repression or control but the moral reform – through religious training, moral education, and training in domestic service – of working class women. With her emphasis on Scottish 'magdalene' homes and a case study of the system of police repression used in Glasgow, Linda Mahood has written the first book of its kind dealing with these issues in Scotland. At the same time the book sets nineteenth-century treatment of prostitutes in Scotland into the longer run of British attempts to control 'drabs and harlots', and contributes to the wider discussion of 'dangerous female sexuality' in a male-dominated society.
La magia de escribir
by José Antonio MarinaLa gran creación de la inteligencia es expresar, decir, comunicarnos, escribir. Es el momento de la gran síntesis, de la puesta en limpio. La gran creación de la inteligencia es la capacidad de expresar, decir, comunicarnos, escribir. Es el momento de la gran síntesis, de la puesta en limpio. Lo que sentimos confusamente, lo que sabemos en términos generales, lo que nos ronda por la cabeza como una sospecha, un deseo o una premonición adquiere precisión y firmeza al enunciarse. Este es también un libro de magia, como La magia de leer. Trata de la transfiguración de la realidad. Lo que eran cosas, acontecimientos, pasiones, se transforma en palabras. ¿Puede haber magia más grande? En La magia de escribir nos acercamos a la inteligencia que crea mediante palabras y nos preguntamos: ¿Cómo podemos enseñar a escribir en la escuela, en la educación secundaria? ¿Cómo podemos los adultos aprender a escribir? Tambiénhemos entrado en el cuarto de trabajo de muchos escritores para descubrir sus secretos, los ocultos mecanismos de la creatividad. Hemos hecho de cronistas de lo maravilloso. Y, por último, hemos intentado hacer una pedagogía de la creación literaria. No se nos puede acusar de ser excesivamente humildes... José Antonio Marina y María de la Válgoma
