Latest Aztec Discoveries: Origin and Untold Riches
This book by Liet. Commander Powell is not by any means a diamond in the rough. Here is a priceless gem fallen from the crown of Quetzalcoatl (Kukulcan) and into the obscurity of the darkness of general mass ignorance. The author has offered substantial proofs that Aztlan, the cradle of the ancient Aztec Nation, is in Texas. I was first introduced to this little book by the father of a close friend, who himself lived before his regretted passing in Trinity, not far from the area Liet. Powell is referring to. We did our own research on the findings detailed in this book, and so as not to add to its content, I will merely confirm its basis in reality. It is a crying shame of history that the developers of Lake Livingston proceeded with their creation of the lake against Powell's requests. This book demands to be known and its mysteries, herein revealed, is the birth-right of the vast majority of Mexicans, whether we Anglo-Texans (gringos, i.e. foreigners) want to confess it or not. I repeat, here is the cradle of their ancient culture and Race. Welcome to Aztlan.
Organized Crime, Third Edition
Organized Crime is a really informative book, it offers a lot of information about various criminal organizations..not just Italian Maffia, but Russian, Irish, Jewish. The information is great becaus it is expanding my knowledge base of criminal organizations and their capabilities.
Organized Crime, Third Edition
As with most books on organized crime, this is a textbook. It is, in my opinion, the best textbook on this topic available. I have taught organized crime at the university level for a number of years now and have looked at a wide variety of textbooks. This book is superior to the others in a number of ways. First, it is comprehensive. There is a tendency of some authors to become infatuated with the Italian Mafia to the exclusion of all else. That does not happen with Lyman and Potter. Second, it is balanced-the authors differentiate between myths and facts concerning organized crime, something often missing in other books. Finally, the authors include both theoretical explanations of organized crime and linkages between OC, government, and honest citizens. The fact that organized crime cannot exist without the connivance of government and the public is critical to understanding the existence and success of criminal enterprises and is often ignored by authors. This relationship is a major theme of this text; one that sets it above other books.

The House on the Cliff (Hardy Boys, Book 2)
This book was very interesting and thrilling. Even though I was sick in bed, reading it all day, I couldn't put it down. It was a little boring at the beginning through 10 to 20 pages with a little too much, "Ohhh daddy, you let have the detective case and were happy." Let me just say, BORING!!! But overall, the whole book was a fantastic fox, but not like the movie, much better. Don't even get me started on that. Don't get that movie!!! This book did have some parts where you wondering how the heck did someone not die in that part and come to think of it now, I think I fell asleep while reading it.I would have to say this book had great, great detail and I was picturing it perfectly and clearly in my mind so congrats to the author of the book, Franklin W. Dixon. It also was too much detail. Some of the detail was hard to get. This book also doesn't take long to read so if you like good short stories, this is one of them. It was a very exhilarating story also. You wanted to read the book and you don't. I think Franklin had a good picture in his head when he wrote it also because the story kept flowing. The story on the other hand was predictable and you could tell nothing bad was going to happen to someone and in the end they will all be together and capture the bad guy. I give the book eight and a half out of ten because of Franklin's detail, thought put into it, and the story's plot line. This is a better book for young children and I recommend it.
