Book excerpt: While on a previous assignment, Lyle Mercer was unable to stop the flourishing drug trade originating in Pakistan. During this monumental endeavor he had assassinated suppliers and agents in many parts of the world, in the Bayou in the southern US, in France, and in Egypt. All he had really achieved was the temporary containment of the drug supply. Now the operation was back in force. Once again, a deep black controller working for POTUS (President of the United States) had asked him to risk his life for the homeland. With Brett Thompson, his partner, he is preparing to engage in a perilous undertaking which the two men were not sure they could handle. From the discovery of drugs and weapons in a cenote (natural water reservoir) in the Mexican State of Yucatan, the stalking and the assassination of the Chief of Detectives in Mexico City, the tortuous detour in Colombia, the pursuit into the bayou to eliminate thugs with crossbows, these two partners find themselves engaged in an incredible chase to eliminate drugs and arms dealers. This long and often fruitless hunt is targeting one kingpin in particular who is transporting his illegal merchandise by submarine to the United States. The smugglers’ extensive connection to Russia for sophisticated arms, and to the Orient for heroin, added to the genius of the traffickers inventing new methods to keep their profitable entrepreneurship thriving, may be too challenging for these two highly trained deep Black Ops agents. Mentally tortured by love for a woman has driven one of the partners to a breaking point at times. Will the love for his country and the devotion to his woman be an obstacle to the common cause, the exclusion of drugs and weapons entering the United States?

Download or read book Contact Community and Connections Current Approaches to Spanish in Multilingual Populations written by Gregory L. Thompson and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides state of the art research on developing areas of Spanish in contact with other languages. This manuscript is unique in its broad yet coherent approach to the study of Spanish in bilingual contexts by investigating current issues in the field through well-designed research and innovative analyses. In addition, this book concludes with research on how languages in contact are reflected in individuals in educational settings as well as insights on how to teach bilinguals raised in contact with English and Spanish. This manuscript is divided into three major themes that focus on the overall issues of Spanish in bilingual contexts: 1. The first section, titled "Language and Identity," is composed of four chapters that focus on the connection between language and identity in unique settings. 2. The second section of the manuscript is titled "Language and Dialectal Contact" and is composed of six chapters that analyze the dialectal and linguistic changes in languages in contact in a variety of settings. 3. The final section is titled "Language in Educational Settings" and consists of four chapters with a focus on heritage speakers and second language students of Spanish in different classroom settings as well as abroad. This volume contributes original research in these areas in a way so as to fill valuable gaps in the current knowledge in the field especially in the innovative ways of approaching areas such as teaching heritage learners, understanding diachronic and synchronic dialectal and linguistic changes as well as innovations in language use, and how language contributes to the formation of identity.

Download or read book Indigenous Geographies in the Yucatan written by Miguel Sioui and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is part of a broader attempt to decolonize colonial histories and understandings about Indigenous peoples and their relationships with their territories, and argues that the land ethos of "being part of the land," specifically among the Mayan community of Xuilub (Yucatan), Mexico, is guided by the cultural precept of 'responsibility-based' thinking. The work uniquely adds much needed insights into 'responsibility-based' thinking for land-use practices, and develops a theoretical framework for assessing historical impacts on Indigenous cultures and livelihoods. In six chapters, the text bridges Western and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) approaches to achieve deeper understanding of IKs, focusing on more Indigenous-centered methods, with the goal of expanding the disciplinary perspectives of postcolonial scholarship and Indigenous geographies. The book contains useful information for environmental planning/management scholars and geographers who may not be familiar with Indigenous approaches to land-use, and to Indigenous geographers working to bridge Western and Indigenous methodologies.
