So when someone murders the town's other doctor, fingers point at Dr. Sugarman, who would inherit his clientele.

Download or read book Ruth and Tobias written by Emma Claude and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peru, the 90's: a historical romance from U. S. and native points of view. In settings travelers will recognize as authentic, Ruth and Tobias is traditional in having romantic and terrorist episodesnewly traditional. After a U. S. senator is kidnaped and his sons receive death threats, Tobias, the senators oldest son, travels in disguise to South America. In a hostal in Arequipa, Peru, a Milquetoast compatriot, amateur historian, and expert botanist takes a prying interest in Tobias as he attempts to pass himself off as an archaeologist--the first of a series of unexpected meetings for Tobias as he struggles to maintain his disguise. This historical romance features interrelations among characters, distinguished by the verve with which Peruvians live their lives and by the professionalism that earmarks the characters from the U. S. The interplay among the Peruvian and the U. S. characters seems like comic opera, except for the consequences. Zrate, an archaeologist trained in Moscow and a professor at the state university at Arequipa, exercises his anti-Americanism against the masquerading Tobias. Tobias is helped by Ruth, an anthropologist writing a thesis on fetishes. In turn, Ruth is helped by Joyce, a mestizo secretary. And so on. Ruth and Tobias features the voices, the perspectives, the expectations of a spectrum of personalities from strikingly dissimilar material circumstances and ethnic origins. In addition to Zrate and Joyce, the Peruvian characters include a hostal manager, a housewife, a vamp, a hacienda owner, university students ranging from highland native to urban opportunist, a handful of teenage terrorists, and an Andean dog. In addition to Tobias and Ruth, the North American characters include a musicologist, a biologist, and an archaeologist from a private and privileged college in the Middle West. The interaction among north and south Americans and among male and female reflects worlds wildly dissimilar in experience and expectation. Radical adjustments to sudden changes in circumstance are imperative. Neither Peruvians nor North Americans are free from sentiment and illusion. Scenes in Ruth and Tobias include a river in flood, a mudslide, an archaeological expedition designed to test the mettle of someone hoping to pass himself off as what he is not, a seduction, a street demonstration, an edenic retreat, an effort at a purification rite.

Book excerpt: This American author has now spent four decades being involved in Costa Rica’s terrestrial and marine habitats, documenting the challenges and triumphs of his attempts to make an environmentally conscious and sustainable living in this paradise. Jon Marañón offers a unique first-person account of nature and persons in conflict and the difficulties of meshing human existence into the recently pristine coastal rainforests of Costa Rica. His work promotes reader awareness of the natural environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and socioculture of this remote area of Costa Rica. Ecology and spirituality intertwine as he describes his journey in a mix of naturalist and lyrical prose that, along with humor and introspection, mark the style of The Gringo’s Hawk. The Gringo’s Hawk represents the culmination of Mr. Marañón’s social struggles and the roles he has played in conservation, education, social well-being, and in establishing national parks and marine reserves in his area.

Book excerpt: “A fascinating journey into the heart and mind of a physician” that explores the doctor-patient relationship, the flaws in our health care system, and how doctors’ emotions impact medical care (Boston Globe) While much has been written about the minds and methods of the medical professionals who save our lives, precious little has been said about their emotions. Physicians are assumed to be objective, rational beings, easily able to detach as they guide patients and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. But understanding doctors’ emotional responses to the life-and-death dramas of everyday practice can make all the difference on giving and getting the best medical care. Digging deep into the lives of doctors, Dr. Danielle Ofri examines the daunting range of emotions—shame, anger, empathy, frustration, hope, pride, occasionally despair, and sometimes even love—that permeate the contemporary doctor-patient connection. Drawing on scientific studies, including some surprising research, Dr. Ofri offers up an unflinching look at the impact of emotions on health care. Dr. Ofri takes us into the swirling heart of patient care, telling stories of caregivers caught up and occasionally torn down by the whirlwind life of doctoring. She admits to the humiliation of an error that nearly killed one of her patients. She mourns when a beloved patient is denied a heart transplant. She tells the riveting stories of an intern traumatized when she is forced to let a newborn die in her arms, and of a doctor whose daily glass of wine to handle the frustrations of the ER escalates into a destructive addiction. Ofri also reveals that doctors cope through gallows humor, find hope in impossible situations, and surrender to ecstatic happiness when they triumph over illness.

Download or read book The Other Side of the Popular written by Gareth Williams and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-22 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on deconstruction, postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and subaltern studies, The Other Side of the Popular is as much a reflection on the limitations and possibilities for thinking about the politics of Latin American culture as it is a study of the culture itself. Gareth Williams pays particular attention to the close relationship between complex cultural shifts and the development of the neoliberal nation-state. The modern Latin American nation, he argues, was built upon the idea of "the people," a citizenry with common interests transcending demographic and cultural differences. As nations have weakened in relation to the global economy, this moment—of the popular as the basis of nation-building—has passed, causing seismic shifts in the relationships between governments and cultural formations. Williams asserts that these changed relationships necessitate the rethinking of fundamental concepts such as "the popular" and "the nation." He maintains that the perspective of subalternity is vital to this theoretical project because it demands the reimagining of the connections between critical reason and its objects of analysis. Williams develops his argument through studies of events highlighting Latin America’s uneasy, and often violent, transition to late capitalism over the past thirty years. He looks at the Chiapas rebellion in Mexico, genocide in El Salvador, the Sendero in Peru, Chile’s and Argentina’s transitions to democratic governments, and Latin Americans’ migration northward. Williams also reads film, photography, and literary works, including Ricardo Piglia’s The Absent City and the statements of a young Salvadoran woman, the daughter of ex-guerrilleros, living in South Central Los Angeles. The Other Side of the Popular is an incisive interpretation of Latin American culture and politics over the last few decades as well as a thoughtful meditation on the state of Latin American cultural studies.

Download or read book Long Way to Texas written by Elmer Kelton and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-09-27 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Joe Pepper, the title character, while awaiting a hangman’s noose, tells the story of how he discovered a propensity for violence while seeking revenge. The irony is that Joe’s keen sense of justice puts him on he wrong side of the law. Long Way to Texas, taking place just after the Civil War battle of Glorieta Pass in New Mexico, is the story of Lt. David Buckalew, whose remnant of Confederate riflemen is under siege and low on rations and water. Complicating matters is the young officer’s self-doubt and fear of failure. Thomas Canfield of Eyes of the Hawk, known to the Mexican citizens of his town of Stonehill, Texas, as "El Gavilán" — the Hawk — is not a man to forgive a wrong. He sets out to prove this to an insolent ranchman rival who intends building a fortune at Canfield’s expense. The Hawk has a radically different idea: he will destroy the town before yielding to his enemy. This omnibus edition features a new introduction by Dale L. Walker, author of twenty-three novels and a past president of the Western Writers of America. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Brown Widow written by Ralph Brune and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They called it the 'wild land', that area with its verdant hills that led to lesser hills ending with the vastness of the Pacific Ocean where the land kissed the sea. The inhabitants were Indians who occasionally fought among themselves, tribe to tribe but their bloodshed was minimal until the Spanish Army arrived, then the blood flowed as never before in the name of Christianity. But this is not a story of the Indians; it's about one of those Spanish soldiers who visited a fortuneteller, who almost gets it right. He respects the Indians' fighting ability with what weapons they have. After soldiering he retires on a land grant of vast proportions. It is about his family and acquaintances and the human condition of comedy, religion, love, sex, hate, greed, violence, lust, avarice, murder, with periods of quietude and haunting memories and somewhere in the novel about a woman who thinks temporarily, she is a widow when she is not. Any resemblance of anyone dead or alive is purely coincidental. This is a fictional novel and is NOT HISTORICALLY or POLITICALLY CORRECT. Read on and enjoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Spur Award for Best Contemporary Nonfiction from Western Writers of America The Mexican Revolution could not have succeeded without the use of American territory as a secret base of operations, a source of munitions, money, and volunteers, a refuge for personnel, an arena for propaganda, and a market for revolutionary loot. El Paso, the largest and most important American city on the Mexican border during this time, was the scene of many clandestine operations as American businesses and the U.S. federal government sought to maintain their influences in Mexico and protect national interest while keeping an eye on key Revolutionary figures. In addition, the city served as refuge to a cast of characters that included revolutionists, adventurers, smugglers, gunrunners, counterfeiters, propagandists, secret agents, double agents, criminals, and confidence men. Using 80,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents on the Mexican Revolution and hundreds of Mexican secret agent reports from El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Relations archive, Charles Harris and Louis Sadler examine the mechanics of rebellion in a town where factional loyalty was fragile and treachery was elevated to an art form. As a case study, this slice of El Paso's, and America's, history adds new dimensions to what is known about the Mexican Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton Harding, former Civil War soldier and current gunslinger, has no part in the war that is taking place between a brutal Mexican bandit king and the towns he is terrorizing. Harding hates men like Benitez, who kills to live and lives to kill. Harding has come to Mexico to earn money doing what the war had made him good at - killing - and hasn't intended being away for so long. Harding has found love back in New Mexico, and that love has made him more of a man...a man who would stand against a bandit army to save not only the town but his legacy for his love. In order to stand against that army, he aims to recruit more men like him - good men; at least, good at one thing - killing. Yet in some ways these men are as bad as Benitez. All in all, these men, and Harding himself, are all either dead, dying or damned.

Download or read book American Smuggling as White Collar Crime written by Lawrence Karson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Edwin Sutherland introduced the concept of white-collar crime, he referred to the respectable businessmen of his day who had, in the course of their occupations, violated the law whenever it was advantageous to do so. Yet since the founding of the American Republic, numerous otherwise respectable individuals had been involved in white-collar criminality. Using organized smuggling as an exemplar, this narrative history of American smuggling establishes that white-collar crime has always been an integral part of American history when conditions were favorable to violating the law. This dark side of the American Dream originally exposed itself in colonial times with elite merchants of communities such as Boston trafficking contraband into the colonies. It again came to the forefront during the Embargo of 1809 and continued through the War of 1812, the Civil War, nineteenth century filibustering, the Mexican Revolution and Prohibition. The author also shows that the years of illegal opium trade with China by American merchants served as precursor to the later smuggling of opium into the United States. The author confirms that each period of smuggling was a link in the continuing chain of white-collar crime in the 150 years prior to Sutherland’s assertion of corporate criminality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New stories set in Tom Kratman's hard-hitting Carrera military sf series "Send us your tired, your poor," says the inscription at the base of the great statue, "your huddled masses yearning to be free." But the future of the colony planet, Terra Nova, and its relations with Old Earth is far more a case of boot out your tired, your poor, your dissidents and troublemakers. Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here. This may have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry. Contained herein are tales of the history of Mankind's future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion...and ultimately liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets.
