Books with author Frank Owen Payne

Outrageous parties. Brazen drug use. Fantastical costumes. Celebrities. Wannabes. Gender-bending club kids. Pulse-pounding beats. Sinful orgies. Botched police raids. Depraved criminals. Murder. Welcome to the decadent nineties club scene. In 1995, journalist Frank Owen began researching a story on Special K, a designer drug that fueled the after-midnight club scene. He went to buy and sample the drug at the internationally notorious Limelight, a crumbling church converted into a Manhattan disco, where mesmerizing music, ecstatic dancers, and uninhibited sideshows attracted long lines of hopeful onlookers. Owen discovered a world where reckless hedonism was elevated to an art form, and where the ever-accelerating party finally spun out of control in the hands of notorious club owner Peter Gatien and his minions. In Clubland, Owen reveals how a lethal drug ring operated in a lawless, black-lit realm of fantasy, and how, when the lights came up, their excesses left countless victims in their wake. Praised for his risk-taking and exhilarating writing style, Frank Owen has spawned a hybrid of literary nonfiction and true crime, capturing the zeitgeist of a world that emerged in the spirit of “peace, love, unity and respect,” and ended in tragedy.

Excerpt from One Hundred Lessons in Nature Study: Around My SchoolThis little book is not intended to be in any sense a treatise on nature study. It does not pretend to be any thing more than a collection of one hundred suggestive lessons on natural objects, such as have been given in the public school at Chath'am, New Jersey, during the past two years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

No two subjects of study in the primary grades are more closely and naturally correlated than Nature Study andO bservational or Home Geography, for all phenomena within our ken, whether they have to do with man or nature, may be classed under some aspect of the many-sided and comprehensive science of Geography. In the first three school years these subjects are often taught orally; but with most teachers such oral instruction involves an undue amount of labor in preparing the lessons, and not infrequently leads to but vague and unsatisfactory results. This little reading book for primary pupils is designed to lighten the work of the teacher, and by pointing out the often unrecognized relations between familiar phenomena and Home Geography will guide the study of the class to definite and practical ends. The various lessons are adapted to the comprehension of the youngest pupils, and are calculated not only to cultivate habits of accurate observation, but to stimulate a desire for more knowledge and broader views of the world about us. They lead directly up to the point where the more formal study of geography from a text-book begins. The form and construction of these lessons is such that they may be used both as reading exercises and also for topical recitations. The questions and language work occasionally introduced are designed to assist in cultivating the power of correct verbal expression in the statement of facts.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
