Jernigan by David Gates Pdf

Peter Jernigan's life is slipping out of control. His wife's gone, he's lost his job and he's a stranger to his teenage son. Worse, his only relief from all this reality - alcohol - is less effective by the day. And when the medicine doesn't work, you up the dose. And when that doesn't work, what then? (Apart from upping the dose again anyway, because who knows?) Jernigan's answer is to slowly turn his caustic wit on everyone around him - his wife Judith, his teenage son Danny, his vulnerable new girlfriend Martha and, eventually, himself - until the laughs have turned to mute horror. But while he's busy burning every bridge back to the people who love him, Jernigan's perverse charisma keeps us all in thrall to the bitter end. Shot through with gin and irony, Jernigan is a funny, scary, mesmerising portrait of a man walking off the edge with his eyes wide open - wisecracking all the way.

Jernigan by David Gates Pdf

From Holden Caulfield to Moses Herzog, our best literature has been narrated by malcontents. To this lineage add Peter Jernigan, who views the world with ferocious intelligence, grim rapture, and a chainsaw wit that he turns, with disastrous consequences, on his wife, his teenaged son, his dangerously vulnerable mistress—and, not least of all, on himself. This novel is a bravura performance: a funny, scary, mesmerizing study of a man walking off the edge with his eyes wide open—wisecracking all the way.

Groundwork by Amanda Jernigan Pdf

The three sequences of Groundwork comprise a sophisticated reworking of European myth on the order of Yeats’s The Tower. The first is situated by an archaeological dig in modern-day Tunisia, the second by the Garden of Eden, the third by the waters and islands of Homer’s Odyssey. Together they form a devastating critique of contemporary aesthetics. Few poets today are versed in the archetypes that inform the European tradition, and even fewer can manipulate them with the grace of Amanda Jernigan. With rivers of exquisite prosody and a panoramic intellectual scope, her Groundwork has recharted the poetic landscape – and by doing so, has changed it forever.

Hedging Death by Stacey Jernigan Pdf

Judge Avery Lassiter is back—this time engulfed in a story of death, debt, and deception in Dallas. First, a wealthy Texas hedge fund manager, Cade Graham, is suspected of insurance fraud and mysteriously goes missing in Mexico. He is believed to have faked his own death. Meanwhile, a brilliant young inventor in the infectious disease space, Dmitry Basayev, who received funding from Cade Graham, is suspected of a massive Ponzi scheme—being litigated in Judge Lassiter’s court—and likewise goes missing. Are their disappearances connected, and how are they linked to the man who tried to kill Judge Avery Lassiter and other judges and lawyers three years ago? And who will find them first—Max Lassiter or the Mexican crime cartels that they have double-crossed? “The triple D’s—deceit, death, and double-cross—make for an engrossing read in Hedging Death, an exciting legal thriller written by Stacey Jernigan. . . . Legal thrillers are a dime a dozen. Some are mired down by too much legal-speak while others are weighed down by complicated narrative and characters that don’t engage much in the way of reader interest. Thankfully, Stacey Jernigan has given her readers an intelligent thriller.” —Readers’ Choice “This is a fast-paced legal thriller. . . Full of courtroom drama, surprises and an explosive ending, the new work is a dandy. . . Readers will learn much about the goings-on in a trial court and in the chambers. . . The novel is crisply written and just in time for a summer reading. . . Hedging Death is Judge Jernigan’s second work. It is not unusual for one’s second book to become an author’s claim to fame (consider Harper Lee or John Grisham). One can hope the same for this interesting legal novel.” —ABI Journal

Cannabis by David Jernigan Pdf

"This book does not take a position on whether expanded legal use of non-medical cannabis should continue. It seeks to provide a consolidated source for the evidence, issues, challenges, and experiences with legalized cannabis for non-medical use and the lessons learned from America's long history with alcohol and tobacco control. It seeks to provide guidance for those who are and will continue to be in positions to struggle with the issue of cannabis control"--

The Blindness Revolution by James H. Omvig Pdf

This book recounts the dramatic story of the transformation of the Iowa Commission for the Blind from a verifiably ineffective service agency to perhaps the most outstanding and effective adult service program in the nation in the span of 10 short years. What happened in Iowa was revolutionary, and the character of work with the blind in America and around the world was altered forever—the alternative civil rights–based service model worked. Using Kenneth Jernigan's own writings of Board meeting minutes, reports, and letters, I present the details of the remarkable story from an activist's point of view. This book will certainly be of interest to those who work in the field of blindness, particularly those who work in agencies serving the blind, but this book is more than just a study in public administration. Omvig's research fills in significant gaps in the history of the blind movement and offers the reader a front-row seat to a pivotal moment in blind history. — Brian Miller, University of Iowa
