Download or read book Litchfield written by Wm Stage and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LITCHFIELDA TOWN GRIPPED BY TERROR ...May 8, 1993: In the Central Illinois town of Litchfield, the nude, headless body of a woman is discovered in a pile of burning brush. Same time, same campground, several people take note of a mysterious red van. Seventy miles away, in St. Louis, a 35-year-old bank teller, Lynne Matchem-Thomas, is reported missing and presumed dead. Sixteen months pass before Illinois homicide investigators piece together the puzzle of events that connect the two cases. With the body identified, a new investigation begins: the search for the killer. Lynne's husband, Curtis, soon finds himself in the crosshairs of scrutiny by detectives in two states. But Curtis, the last known person to see his wife alive, has been despondent over her disappearance--or was that an act? The evidence against Curtis is all circumstantial except for the word of a jilted girlfriend who claims he confessed the murder to her. Throw in a big city defense lawyer, a small town prosecutor, and a droll cast of real-life characters, and you've got one hell of a story. In the tradition of In Cold Blood, Litchfield is a psychological study of a brutal murder and its aftermath.

Download or read book Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest Environmental Organizations and Development written by Luiz C. Barbosa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region, particularly for mineral ores, soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation, through boycotting certain products, while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources.

Download or read book Transnational Environmental Crime written by Rob White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays selected for this volume illustrate the growing interest in and importance of crime that is both environmental and transnational in nature. The topics covered range from pollution and waste to biodiversity and wildlife crimes, and from the violation of human rights associated with the exploitation of natural resources through to the criminogenic implications of climate change. The collection provides insight into the nature and dynamics of this type of crime and examines in detail who is harmed and what can be done about it. Differential victimisation and contemporary developments in environmental law enforcement are also considered. Collectively, these essays lay the foundations for a criminology that is forward looking, global in its purview, and that deals with the key environmental issues of the present age.

Download or read book The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement written by Roger Casement and published by Anaconda Editions. This book was released on 1997 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, from the previously unpublished manuscript in the National Library of Ireland, is a valuable and deeply detailed edition of the diary kept by Casement during his journey into the South American rainforests. He had been sent by the British government to report on atrocities against tribal people while being forced to collect rubber in the Putumayo region in the north-west Amazon. Genocide among the Amazon Indians has continued, but external investigations of this kind have been rare. The way in which Roger Casement carried out his work is still relevant to all kinds of humanitarian and whistle-blowing activities. It is also a key text charting Casement's transition from observer to anti-imperial revolutionary and Irish independence leader, culminating in his execution by the British government in August 1916 after the Easter Rising."

Download or read book Demarest Kill written by Frank Eberling and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEMAREST KILL is a murder mystery and coming of age/loss of innocence novel unlike any you have read before. The Demarest Kill is a stream that threads its way through New City, behind The Dutch Garden and the Rockland County Courthouse, and serves as a metaphor for the events that unfold over a fifty-year period. Richly described with period detail and local color, DEMAREST KILL is the story of a generation of baby-boomers who grew up in the post-World War II years in New City, New York, just thirty miles north of Manhattan. Will, a fifth generation home-town boy, befriends Tom, a child prodigy pianist from a wealthy family. In the fifth grade, Will meets and falls in love with Beth, the artistic daughter of a famous sculptor who lives in an artists' enclave in this small town. The three friends form a strong bond, and from fifth grade through college they are inseparable, as they explore the perfect, pastoral world New City had to offer in the 1950s and 1960s. As they mature from elementary school students to adults, they explore the Demarest Kill from its source to its spilling into the Lake DeForest Reservoir. The winding stream becomes a centerpiece of the novel as it flows north. After high school, the three leave New City and seek their own futures, and as they do, they are caught up in the turmoil of the late 1960s, and become estranged; separated by the forces of history that rent our country asunder during that era. Decades pass, and in the autumn of 2000, Beth is found brutally murdered and dumped into the Demarest Kill at the back of the Dutch Garden. Will, now an investigator with the District Attorney's Office, becomes a suspect in the murder of his former lover. DEMAREST KILL is a long journey into our past, filled with music and events that defined those years. If you grew up in New City, or know the town, there are hundreds of touchstones to those magnificent days of fifty years ago. For those not familiar with the town, the story provides universal themes of unrequited love, nostalgia for days gone by, an enormous betrayal of horrific scale, and a brutal murder mystery that is both devastating and allegorical. Filled with characters you will never forget, DEMAREST KILL is the tragic story of a generation of young people who grew up in the glory days of small town, post-World War II America. The author's attention to detail, and sense memory of a time and place, make this novel unforgettable. The highly controversial, provocative ending will have readers debating for years to come. The author, Frank Eberling, is a fifth generation New City boy who grew up listening to New City history from older family and friends. After graduating from Clarkstown High School in New City in 1964, he moved to Florida to attend the University of Florida. Following five years as a high school teacher in Palm Beach County, he became a television news journalist and documentary filmmaker for over forty years. He produced over 3,000 television projects for local and national television, Florida PBS, and The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. His work earned him an Emmy and numerous other writing and producing awards. He has written over thirty screenplays and four novels, several of which are available on AMAZON. ENSUENO is a literary murder-mystery set in Palm Beach in the 1950s and 1980s, and SWEET CITY BLUES is a goof-ball comedy set in Belle Glade in the 1970s. Eberling has written and directed two feature films set in Palm Beach County. He is currently developing a slate of several low-budget indie-films set in Florida.
