Ayres, Craig Ancrum, 2023-07-31 This book examines the drug dealer in contemporary society from an interdisciplinary perspective and considers the increasingly blurred demarcation between illegitimate and legitimate drug markets. It explores the motives and drivers of those involved in drug supply and dispels common and stereotypical myths and misconceptions surrounding illegal drug markets and those who operate within them. The drug dealer has become one of our foremost contemporary ‘folk devils’. Those who trade in substances prohibited by law are the subject of array of inaccurate myths and urban legends. Criminology has tended either to shoehorn drug dealers into neat typologies or portray them as ‘victims’ of an uncaring, predatory post-modern society. In reality, we know relatively little about the complex and diverse world of drug markets and our concentration inevitably falls on low-end ‘retail’ dealers who operate in the most visible sectors of the illegal economy. Bringing together an international group of experts, this book considers perspectives from around the world, including UK, USA, South America, Spain, India and Australia. This book will be of interest to students and researchers across criminology, law, sociology, criminal justice and public health, and will be essential reading for those taking courses on drugs, drug markets and substance misuse. |
| mike tyson 20 inch neck: THE PUSHUP CENTRAL READER! Rahul Mookerjee, 2023-04-24 This book is a gigantic compilation a.k.a magnum opus containing the two very well received books Pushup Central and Pushup Central - the TIPS!. The first book goes where no man has gone before in terms of pushups, and indeed physical activity, and shows you unique, creative and interesting ways to do pushups that will burn fat off your body quicker like butter in a furnace - or ole George Foreman's grills, hehe - and build lumps of hard, solid corrugated MUSCLE over your entire body while doing so. Your health and fitness levels will skyrocket dramatically within a while of getting on this routine. Your abs will become a bundle of steel and chiseled muscle, and you'll have pillars for legs - stamina that doesnt run out - and SKYROCKETING CONFIDENCE and best of all, these exercises will truly develop the iron jaw in your mentally and physically. Once you get on the exercises in Pushup Central (once you learn them, and then DO them regularly as opposed to just read) - you'll not only become a fitness phenom like NO other (in relatively short time at that!) but you'll find that problems in other areas of your life melt away and you achieve all goals you set for yourself on auto pilot, almost. You'll focus like a laser on your work - and goals - and will sleep like a baby at night as well on these routines. Truly, 100 pushups a day keeps the doctor away - for good - and I ain't even kidding there. And if you thought that was all, no, I'm just getting started. The SECOND book in the series is the world famous book on TIPS - extras that were not included in the initial book - 51 forgotten TIPS that will take you from being just good at pushups to rarified and STRATOSPHERIC levels of excellence at this exercise. In other words, the cake is great, but the icing is really what makes it uber special, and so it is with this cake and the icing - and in this book, yours truly, the bodyweight exercise Guru as the 0 Excuses fanatics swear I am (and they're spot on) brings you pushups like never before, in a style and format that has never ever been put out there before, period. These tips will help you improve your pushup numbers per set or overall - they will BOOST your stamina while doing pushups (if you implement correctly) - they will help you RECOVER faster too. You'll learn which are the best supplementary exercises and workouts to do with pushups - the best way and best types of pushups to do - why certain types of pushups are always a must to do, others maybe not so much so - and a lot, lot more that no-one else out there knows, let alone teaches you. EACH of these tips is probably worth the $150 odd I'm charging for the course, which given the massive amounts of information that is NOT known to the public (no, you cannot find it all on Google either) - is a pittance my friend, a nigh pittance I'm charging you for this course. I should really be pricing this at $1000 or thereabouts, and likely will at some point. But for now, we'll stick to a special introductory price of $150 for the Kindle Edition. Be sure and check out the paperback and hardcover versions as well! Pushing for YOU - forever! Very best, Rahul Mookerjee Fitness Fanatic par excellence and so can YOU BE if you do the thing! :) |
| mike tyson 20 inch neck: Pushup Central – the TIPS! Rahul Mookerjee, 2023-04-17 DISCLAIMER As with my other course Pushup Central, and every thing else I teach in all my businesses, products, books, courses, and manuals, be damn sure you’re in good physical health before attempting the exercises in this course. Now, these exercises will GET you into the best shape of your life if you aren’t already, but what I am saying is “don’t just jump from a perch on the sofa to Everest” – as I state in my other books, work up to everything. All in “dew” time as a person recently told me, so it works for life, fitness, everything else. Second, read these tips not in place of but WITH those in Pushup Central. The author is not a medical professional (although he has more and useful practical knowledge than most actual medical professional will let on beyond the facade of “repeated hospital visits” to fatten their wallets”), and he promises if you DO the thing, your abdomen will have the exact opposite impact. All puns aside, though I Was serious there – the advice in book does not take place of that dispensed by a qualified medical professional – contact your doctor or medical provider if you have any doubts, stop if you experience “actual” pain and so forth. I hate to have to say all this, but I do! With that said, onward. INTRODUCTION and why I wrote this book. Phew, that was a long intro wasn’t it – or disclaimer? So I’ll keep it short here – no pun intended, or I’ll TRY and keep it short. Basically, many of the same reasons I wrote Pushup Central I.e pushups being the mainstay of any serious fitness enthusiast’s routine, yet being roundly ignored by most folks, dispelling the “they’re too easy or too boring” B.S. you keep hearing about them (anyone that says that is an utter fool that hasn’t done ‘em right, or has no clue on how to) – how they “only build endurance” (WRONG! Ask Mike Tyson, Herschel Walker, Ken Shamrock and a host of other illuminaries for one, even better, DO ‘em yourself, and you’ll see!) – (and even if thats all they built, what most people need today is a dose of “Energizer Bunny” if you get my drift, what with all the “I’m always sick” (or tired) nonsense going on!) … … because pushups build every part of your body, and turn you into an IRON being, literally INDESTRUCTIBLE as a reader wrote in about Pushup Central. Because they build a core of steel, the grip of Cain and more you’ve always wanted, legs like pillars (yes) – they reduce fat, SMELT fat in record time I should say, yada, nada, schnada. And more, and either go to the benefits portion of this book or in Pushup Central and you’ll read more. I could literally wax lyrical all day on this! Point being though, the same two reasons why I (despite not liking them too much) do a lot of videos. Its nigh impossible to put all your knowledge in one book. Even if you write that book for years, you keep learning, the day you put out the book is the day you learn something new, and thats how it is, you NEVER stop learning. As I said in 0 Excuses Fitness, that is as close to true mastery as you can get, if you were to ask the great Bruce Lee that, he’d tell you the same thing too. And the same thing goes with non videos. Hence, an FAQ on pull-ups and handstand pushups … Hence, Gorilla Grip – TIPS! And hence this book. In it you’ll find ignored, forgotten but EXTREMELY valuable gems, nuggets of info that will add to what you learn in Pushup Central, and if used correctly, they will SKYROCKET your gains beyond belief. Perhaps thats why the benefits section in this book is longer than in Pushup Central. In the trenches learning is the best learning anyone can hope to receive from the school of HARD knocks or hard workouts. And thats the style I bring this to you in as with all my other writing. Dont just READ these tips and forget about ‘em. Don’t just implement them once and forget about ‘em. They deserve to be in your mind every time you knock out a pushup workout, or even a set, they’re that important, and you’ll soon see why once you start implementing. That said, onward! BENEFITS YOU’LL GET FROM NOT JUST READING, but IMPLEMENTING what is taught in this one of a kind course – or manual, what have you. I love that word manual! (and word to the WISE – these are all benefits you can get from Pushup Central, the EXTRA parts in PURPLE are the adds on you get HERE in addition to the above!!!) A rock solid midsection and a core that looks like it’s carved from STEEL. I don’t care if you’re a boxer, or martial artist, or just the everyday “blob”, hehe (sorry, but sometimes one has to be honest) – – we could ALL use that sort of a midsection – – not to mention the six pack – – doncha think? Your abs will literally HURT, smoulder and POP like never before when you implement the EXTRAS IN these tips! If you’ve been suffering fromIBS – or flatulence– or those annoying issues that make you “constantly have to go” – well – you might as well kiss them goodbye once you start on these exercises! Constipation? Whats that? The malady that affects almost everyone, including fitness gurus and such? Well, you’ll completely forget what the meaning of that word is, almost! Literally pushups with these magic tips work your entire core from the inside out like NOTHING ELSE AND NO OTHER exercise/workout can or WILL! Your entire abdominal region and lower back will become rock solid – and health issues will become a thing of the PAST. Not to mention your hamstrings, groin, everything will become way more powerful than it is right now, and more flexible. Implement the tips here in, you’ll literally get into “supreme martial artist” shape with persistence – as close to Bruce Lee as you can get! You’ll build a massive upper body – shoulders and chest -not to mention slabs of MUSCLE all over back – especially the upper back – and this won’t be the bloated “gym” muscle you see all over the place that looks good, but ain’t got squat to back it up, hehe (pun intended!) And you’ll do so while keeping the lean, mean and TONED look. STEEL AND WHALEBONE! Your legs will get the workout of their lives on some of these pushups – believe me now – and trust me LATER! You’ll start to lose FAT – that unsightly blubber around your waist and midsection specifically within a FEW workouts. That’s right – and this fat loss will be so RAPID you’ll not only wonder where the love handles, muffin tops, bingo wings etc WENT – – but you’ll be scratching your head in amazement at the sheer SPEED you’ll lose weight at! It won’t just be rapid, it might well be permanent, so well will you be “rewiring your body’s circuits” once you implement these tips! You’ll literally be huffing, puffing and blowing the dang house down! Improved digestion is a given – not to mention an increased appetite. You’ll be able to eat more, and still not turn into “Tubbo” i.e. no more unsightly lard anywhere on your frame! You’ll be able to fit into clothes you haven’t fit into for years. Friends and co-workers won’t believe the rapid changes in you – and will ALL want to know the secret – let ’em in on it if you so desire, hehe. Perhaps the best thing for the average Joe – you won’t have any excuses left NOT to workout any more, my friend. All you have to do is drop down and start on these pushups – and as for a space to workout – – well, we ALL have a floor and a few inches of space somewhere, don’t we?? Your forearms – and grip – will increase tremendously. “Carpal tunnel”, pain in the wrists etc will become a thing of the past very quickly indeed. MY! IF there was ONE reason I’d urge you to pay heed to these tips its that you’ll build a gorilla like grip x10 and CLAWS OF PURE STREAMING STEEL when you implement the tips right! You’ll feel relaxed throughout the entire day – and you’ll have an unshakeable, “laser like” confidence about you after just a few workouts – confidence that others will NOTICE (“Here cometh the MAN!”) – and confidence that will propel you – UNWAVERED – towards whatever goal you set for yourself! COMETH THE HOUR, COMETH the man, folks will say about you! LITERALLY – that is the confidence and vibe you’ll build with these tips and workouts! Increased success with the “opposite sex” is a by product of these workouts. I don’t know why, but pushups lend themselves to a sort of “confident demanor” that women (or men) will pick up on – a sort of feeling you CANNOT get from pounding weights galore at the gym. If you can handle your own body from all angles and directions- you can handle — ah, but I’ll stop there – but you get the picture, my friend! REAL functional strength that STAYS with you regardless of circumstance or situation. You’ll be able to carry your damsel up several flights of stairs WITHOUT being out of breath – and come “moving day”, you’ll be tossing sofas around like no-one’s business! And thus forth … Mental strength that CANNOT be beat. Believe me, once you start doing 100 plus – or 250 – or even the hallowed 500 – pushup number per workout – you’ll develop an unshakeable sense of mental strength which will allow you not just to achieve nigh any goal you set yourself – but also to overcome adversity – sometimes of the most harrowing kinds (and believe me, I’ve been there on this one! And much, much more my friend. The above is just the proverbial TIP of the iceberg … Who is this book for? For the every day Joe or Jane that wants to improve their strength and conditioning beyond any sort of belief, and quick at that. For bloated “tubbos” looking to lose the lard quick. If you’re looking to add that extra oomph to an already solid upper body routine, this book (manual) is for YOU. If you’re looking to build Tyson/Herschel Walker like ARMS – this book is for you (do what the greats did, you’ll be great too in your way – guaranteed – natural law of the Universe, friend). If you’re looking to build a REAL 12 pack from the inside out as opposed to the showy tosh at the beach so many guys exult in showing (and girls too). If you’re looking to build strength that never quits on ya, amps when you need it. If you’re looking to build trap power like no other combo of routines can or will build (those mountainous GORILLA Traps). If you’re an ace swimmer, elite martial artists, triatholoner – or Crossfitter looking to UP your game and take it to the next level. And lots of other categories not mentioned here! Get this NOW, my friend. It is indeed a MUST HAVE along with Pushup Central. Best Rahul Mookerjee |

A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of stories and essays is a rollicking tour through the American Zeitgeist: a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tried to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; and in his essays, David Sedaris considers the hazards of rewards of smoking, writing for Giantess magazine, and living with his scrappy brother Paul, aka 'The Rooster'. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes and reads stories and essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behaviour.

| mike tyson 20 inch neck: Go Home, Ricky! Gene Kwak, 2021-10-19 From a rising literary star comes a fresh, satirical novel about masculinity and tenderness, fatherhood and motherhood, set in the world of semi-professional wrestling—now in paperback After seven years on the semi-pro wrestling circuit, Ricky Twohatchet, a.k.a. Richard Powell, needs one last match before he gets called up to the big leagues. Unlike some wrestlers who only play the stereotype, Ricky believes he comes by his persona honestly—he’s half white and half Native American—even if he’s never met his father. But the night of the match in Omaha, Nebraska, something askew in their intricate choreography sets him on a course for disaster. He finishes with a neck injury that leaves him in a restrictive brace and a video already going viral: him spewing profanities at his ex-partner, Johnny America. Injury aside, he’s out of the league. Without a routine or identity, Ricky spirals downward, finally setting off to learn about his father, and what he finds will explode everything he knows about who he is—as a man, a friend, a son, a partner, and a wrestler. Go Home, Ricky! is a sometimes-witty, sometimes-heart-wrenching, but always gripping look into the complexities of identity. |

Bullied as a boy in the toughest, poorest neighborhood in Brooklyn, Tyson grew up to become one of the most ferocious boxers of all time—and the youngest heavyweight champion ever. But his brilliance in the ring was often compromised by reckless behavior. Yet—even after hitting rock bottom—the man who once admitted being addicted “to everything” fought his way back, achieving triumphant success as an actor and newfound happiness and stability as a father and husband. Brutal, honest, raw, and often hilarious, Undisputed Truth is the singular journey of an inspiring American original. |
| mike tyson 20 inch neck: Jewish Jocks Franklin Foer, Marc Tracy, 2012-10-30 A collection of essays by today's preeminent writers on significant Jewish figures in sports, told with humor, heart, and an eye toward the ever elusive question of Jewish identity. Jewish Jocks: An Unorthodox Hall of Fame is a timeless collection of biographical musings, sociological riffs about assimilation, first-person reflections, and, above all, great writing on some of the most influential and unexpected pioneers in the world of sports. Featuring work by today's preeminent writers, these essays explore significant Jewish athletes, coaches, broadcasters, trainers, and even team owners (in the finite universe of Jewish Jocks, they count!). Contributors include some of today's most celebrated writers covering a vast assortment of topics, including David Remnick on the biggest mouth in sports, Howard Cosell; Jonathan Safran Foer on the prodigious and pugnacious Bobby Fischer; Man Booker Prize-winner Howard Jacobson writing elegantly on Marty Reisman, America's greatest ping-pong player and the sport's ultimate showman. Deborah Lipstadt examines the continuing legacy of the Munich Massacre, the fortieth anniversary of which coincided with the 2012 London Olympics. Jane Leavy reveals why Sandy Koufax agreed to attend her daughter's bat mitzvah. And we learn how Don Lerman single-handedly thrust competitive eating into the public eye with three pounds of butter and 120 jalapeño peppers. These essays are supplemented by a cover design and illustrations throughout by Mark Ulriksen. From settlement houses to stadiums and everywhere in between, Jewish Jock features men and women who do not always fit the standard athletic mold. Rather, they utilized talents long prized by a people of the book (and a people of commerce) to game these games to their advantage, in turn forcing the rest of the world to either copy their methods -- or be left in their dust. |

The Last Great Fight takes readers not only behind the scenes of this epic battle, but inside the lives of two men, their ambitions, their dreams, the downfall of one and the rise of another. Using his exclusive interviews with both Tyson and Douglas, family members, the referee, the cutmen, trainers and managers, commentators and HBO staff covering the fight in Tokyo, Layden has crafted a human drama played out on a large stage. This is a compelling tale of shattered dreams and, ultimately, redemption. |

Heus, Ronda Spinak, Alan Duncan Ross, 2005-01-25 A conditioning and fitness program based on the renowned pro–athlete training regimen that is designed to work with the body's natural movements to build maximum strength, speed, and flexibility. ProBodX (Proper Body Exercise) was originally designed for injured professional athletes (Jason Sehorn, Steve Finley, Jason Giambi etc.) In this book, the program has been modified for the average person who wants to get in shape or stay in shape without injury. The program also includes an eating plan based on Barry Sears's Zone Diet. ProBodX is a series of conditioning exercises that build strength, speed, and flexibility. The workout is done in a specific order, designed to engage each muscle or muscle group in preparation for the next exercise. The end result is total balanced fitness. The workout uses jump ropes, balls, slant boards, and hand weights – the very props used in most physical therapy classes. The goal here is uniform flexibility and strength – the kind of balanced fitness that prevents and repairs injury. |

Tyson, 2005-05-03 The “riveting”* true story of the fiery summer of 1970, which would forever transform the town of Oxford, North Carolina—a classic portrait of the fight for civil rights in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird *Chicago Tribune On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a twenty-three-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town’s tobacco warehouses. Tyson’s father, the pastor of Oxford’s all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away. Tim Tyson’s gripping narrative brings gritty blues truth and soaring gospel vision to a shocking episode of our history. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD “If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer “Pulses with vital paradox . . . It’s a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson’s powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo.”—Entertainment Weekly “Engaging and frequently stunning.”—San Diego Union-Tribune |

| mike tyson 20 inch neck: In Defense of Looting Vicky Osterweil, 2020-08-25 A fresh argument for rioting and looting as our most powerful tools for dismantling white supremacy. Looting -- a crowd of people publicly, openly, and directly seizing goods -- is one of the more extreme actions that can take place in the midst of social unrest. Even self-identified radicals distance themselves from looters, fearing that violent tactics reflect badly on the broader movement. But Vicky Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class -- not to mention the brazen messages these methods send to the police and the state. All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression. From slave revolts to labor strikes to the modern-day movements for climate change, Black lives, and police abolition, Osterweil makes a convincing case for rioting and looting as weapons that bludgeon the status quo while uplifting the poor and marginalized. In Defense of Looting is a history of violent protest sparking social change, a compelling reframing of revolutionary activism, and a practical vision for a dramatically restructured society. |

| mike tyson 20 inch neck: How to Box Joe Louis, 2021-01-04 Published in 1948, How to Box was the first instructional book developed and written by one of the greatest fighters of his time, Joe Louis. The nuts and bolts of Louis' brilliant engineering are here in this book. Legend has it that before beginning the fighter-trainer relationship that would help define him, Louis worked with one Holman Williams who is credited by some with supplying Louis with perhaps the most precious gift he ever received-his jab. But Williams is also said to have taught Louis the rudiments of the defense and was supposedly the first man to encourage Louis to punch in combination. Boxing is built upon punching and footwork, says How to Box. If the stance is too narrow for balance, move the right foot a few inches to the right to widen the stance; if too wide, glide the right foot forwards a few inches. Don't lock the left leg but keep it straight.Freddie Roach described Joe Louis as the best textbook fighter of all time. Here we see the first great foundation of that inch-perfect style. Louis hardly ever made small adjustments with his left foot. His left jab is always perched over that lead foot, ready to be thrown. A boxing training manual intent on conveying the art of boxing, physical fitness knowledge, and the power of the sport to the general public. A great historical reference and a valuable addition to any library concerned with the history of boxing and martial arts. |

| mike tyson 20 inch neck: The Rise of Mike Tyson, Heavyweight William F. McNeil, 2014-09-17 Covering Mike Tyson's rise through the amateur and professional boxing ranks, this book follows the Brooklyn native from his early years as a young criminal in Brownsville to his 1988 heavyweight unification match with Michael Spinks. The book focuses on the Catskill Boxing Club--where boxing guru Cus D'Amato trained the 210-pound teenager in the finer points of the sport and developed his impregnable defense--and on his home life with D'Amato and surrogate mother Camille Ewald and the other young fighters who lived with them. Tyson's boxing education began in the unauthorized smokers held every week in the Bronx, matching his skills against older, more experienced fighters. He won the 1981 Amateur Heavyweight Boxing Championship in Colorado Springs at the age of 14 and repeated the amazing feat the following year. By 1985, finding no other challenging amateur competition, he was forced to join the professional ranks where, in November 1986, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history. Less than two years later, he unified the crown, establishing himself as one of the most dominant heavyweight fighters the sport had ever seen. |
| mike tyson 20 inch neck: David and Goliath Malcolm Gladwell, 2015-04-07 Malcolm Gladwell's provocative new #1 bestseller -- now in paperback. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a pebble and a sling-and ever since, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he? In DAVID AND GOLIATH, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, suffer from a disability, lose a parent, attend a mediocre school, or endure any number of other apparent setbacks. In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers-The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw-DAVID AND GOLIATH draws upon history, psychology and powerful story-telling to reshape the way we think of the world around us. |

| mike tyson 20 inch neck: The Art & Science of Respect James Prince, 2019-07-23 Foreword by Drake The successful Hip Hop mogul, boxing manager, and entrepreneur who has had a lasting impact on modern popular music reveals the foundation of his success--respect--and explains how to get it and how to give it. I was taught that you must believe in something bigger than yourself in order to get something bigger than yourself. For decades, serial entrepreneur James Prince presided over Rap-A-Lot Records, one of the first and most successful independent rap labels. In this powerful memoir, told with the brutal, unapologetic honesty that defines him, Prince explains how he earned his reputation as one of the most respected men in Hip Hop and assesses his wins, his losses, and everything he's learned in between. Throughout his life, Prince has faced many adversaries. Whether battling the systemic cycle of poverty that shaped his youth, rival record label executives, greedy boxing promoters, or corrupt DEA agents, he has always emerged victorious. For Prince, it was about remaining true to his three principles of heart, loyalty, and commitment, and an unwavering faith in God. The Art & Science of Respect brings into focus a man who grew up in a place where survival is everything and hope just a concept; who outlived most of his childhood friends by age twenty-four; who raised seven children; who helped develop international superstars like Drake and world champion boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Andre Ward; who rose to the heights of a cutthroat business that has consumed the souls of ambitious hustlers and talented artists alike. Throughout this raw memoir, Prince's love of family, music, boxing, and Houston's Fifth Ward-- Texas' toughest, proudest, baddest ghetto (Texas Monthly)--shines through. Yet one major lesson looms over all: Respect isn't given, it's earned. In recounting his compelling life story, Prince analyzes the art and science of earning respect--and giving respect--and shows how to apply these principles to your life. |
