The Forgotten Survivors of Gun Violence available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The toll of America’s gun violence epidemic is usually measured in lives lost—more than 35,000 each year. Ignored, almost completely, are the many more people who are shot every year, and survive. —Shot and Forgotten, The Trace “Nearly 40,000 people die from gun violence in the US every year. This uniquely American crisis leaves no community untouched—but it doesn’t have to be this way.” —Gabrielle Giffords The Forgotten Survivors of Gun Violence collects 20 personal essays of survivors’ visible and invisible wounds from school shootings, attempted suicide by firearm, mass shootings, gang violence, and domestic violence. Their stories remind us that these traumatic experiences are not exclusive to combat soldiers but, more notably, suffered by ordinary people during modern life. With this collection, editors Loren Kleinman, Shavaun Scott, Sandy Phillips and Lonnie Phillips expose the true lifecycle of a bullet and the trauma left in its wake. Through personal narratives and select personal photos, the wounded tell a story that’s forgotten when the cameras go away. This collection will be of interest to first responders, officers, therapists, medical practitioners, and educators.

Public attention and scrutiny has dimmed following most of these notable, tragic and publicized events, deaths and murders. Each included historical profile spawns a secondary tale concerning the surviving victims, intimate family coping with loss and the consequential aftermath. The edition highlights sixty momentous and obscure calamities and their profound effect on those left behind. In some instances the immediate trauma and impact has become lethal. In other instances, the road towards recovery has generated a profound influence on others. These accompanying survivor biographies are equally compelling and represent an important continuity to a larger perspective of understanding. Volume One is a compilation of sixty combined well-documented and obscure biographies. They include: Jimi Hendrix’s Accidental Overdose and The Sole Witness James Dean’s Fatal Collision and the Two Survivors The Decadent Decline of Doors’ Lead Singer Jim Morrison and his companion Pam Courson The Zodiac Serial Killer: Taunting Authorities Lady Diana Spencer’s Fatal Paris Crash Ted Bundy: The Man Who Lived To Kill Women Singer Kurt Cobain’s Prelude and Final Act Actor Errol Flynn’s Final Debauchery Gangster Al Capone’s desperate venereal disease treatment and his Chicago Outfit gang The Washington D.C.

"The result is an important and horrifyingly thick anthology of mass murders...Highly difficult to read in one sitting, but we must not look away." —Kirkus Reviews A harrowing collection of sixty narratives—covering over fifty years of shootings in America—written by those most directly affected by school shootings: the survivors. “If I Don’t Make It, I Love You,” a text sent from inside a war zone. A text meant for Stacy Crescitelli, whose 15-year-old daughter, Sarah, was hiding in a closet fearing for her life in Parkland, Florida, in February of 2018, while a gunman sprayed her school with bullets, killing her friends, teachers, and coaches. This scene has become too familiar. We see the images, the children with trauma on their faces leaving their school in ropes, connected to one another with hands on shoulders, shaking, crying, and screaming. We mourn the dead. We bury children. We demand change. But we are met with inaction. So, we move forward, sadder and more jaded. But what about those who cannot move on? These are their stories. If I Don’t Make It, I Love You collects more than sixty narratives from school shooting survivors, family members, and community leaders covering fifty years of shootings in America, from the 1966 UT-Austin Tower shooting through May 2018’s Santa Fe shooting. Through this collection, editors Amye Archer and Loren Kleinman offer a vital contribution to the surging national dialogue on gun reform by elevating the voices of those most directly affected by school shootings: the survivors.

Download and read online ebook Forgotten Founders and Other Neglected Social Theorists write by Christopher T. Conner. This book was released on 2019-05-14. Forgotten Founders and Other Neglected Social Theorists available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This edited volume highlights the work of ten forgotten and neglected social theorists in the hope of reinvigorating interest in their work and their potential contributions to the analysis of contemporary social issues. Each chapter includes a brief biographical sketch, an overview of the selected theorist’s work and significance, and the relevance of their work to one or more contemporary social issues. While other similar texts tend to focus primarily on intellectual biography, our emphasis here is on the scholar’s theories and their application to contemporary social issues. We provide a contextualization of each scholar’s work, using present-day social issues or problems. Many of these individuals played a significant role in the development of sociology. Our hope is to provide a resource that will help re-integrate these marginalized social theorists, rescuing them from obscurity and elevating their status.
