    In the last decade, school shootings have decimated communities and terrified parents, teachers, and children in even the most “family friendly” American towns and suburbs. Rampage challenges the “loner theory” of school violence, and shows why so many adults and students miss the warning signs that could prevent it.Drawing on more than 200 interviews with town residents, distinguished sociologist Katherine Newman and her co-authors take the reader inside two of the most notorious school shootings of the 1990s, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Paducah, Kentucky.

  • Publication Details

    Book, Atria Books, 2002

  • Description

    On the evening of May 5, 1993, in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, three eight-year-old boys disappeared. Damien and Jason both denied Jessie’s account, and Jessie himself recanted it within hours, but by then all three had been charged with the murders. With no physical evidence connecting anyone to the crime, prosecutors contended that the murders bore signs of “the occult” and that the three accused teenagers possessed a “state of mind” that pointed to them as the killers.

Joycelyn Elders, M.D. : From Sharecropper’s Daughter To Surgeon General Of The United States Of America

  • Joycelyn Elders, M.D. : From Sharecropper's Daughter To Surgeon General Of The United States Of America

  • Attribution

    Joycelyn Elders and David Chanoff

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Morrow, 1996

  • Description

    Few figures on the contemporary American political landscape have been as visible and memorable, as admired and hated, as Dr. Joycelyn Elders. Now, in Joycelyn Elders, M.D.: From Sharecropper’s Daughter to Surgeon General of the United States of America she shares the story of her extraordinary life, the roots of her values and the evolution of her ideas and reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations that led to her firing from the office of Surgeon General. This plainspoken and utterly candid autobiography takes readers through Elders’ poverty stricken childhood in the tiny town of Schaal, Arkansas where Elders (called Minnie Lee Jones in those days) grew up in a tiny cabin with neither electricity, nor running water. Elders’ inspiring public life is matched with a moving private story about which she is forthright in Joycelyn Elders, M.D. Still, never afraid of a good fight, Elders did manage to do some good work during that intensely painful period negotiating for and winning additional responsibilities for the office and consolidating more real power in the position then it ever before had.
