Book excerpt: Kat is an out of work ski instructor who just wants to pack up her deceased mother's things, leave New York, and return to Aspen. Constancia is a talented but troubled young woman who just wants to start her first semester of college. In different shops across New York City, they and hundreds of other women of color try a new hair relaxer called "Reenu-You." Then things start to go horribly awry. Within days, they find themselves covered in purple scab-like lesions--a rash that pulses, oozes, and spreads in spiral patterns. They are at the epicenter of a mysterious virus spreading throughout the city. As the outbreak spreads and new cases pop up in Black and Latino communities throughout New York, panic, anger, and questions fill the streets. What is this virus and where did it come from? Is it corporate malfeasance? Or is this an orchestrated plot to kill minority women? In the face of a terrifying and uncertain future, Kat, Constancia, and a small band of other affected women are forced to confront their deepest fears to save themselves and others. As the world crumbles around them, they will discover more about each other, learn about themselves, and draw strength to face the future together. Reenu-You looks at the social and political meanings of hair, female friendships, and viruses.

Book excerpt: Dr. Hannah Green—heroine of Praetzellis's textbook-as-novel Death by Theory—has really gotten herself into trouble this time. The spunky archaeologist has been asked to manage the contract archaeology project at a historic site in New Zealand when the regular archaeological staff of University of Invercargill abruptly dies off. On the scene, Hannah discovers she needs to teach her team about research design, survey methods, archival research, professional ethics, curation, and especially field safety, if they are to complete the contract before young Mr. Wallace levels the site in favor of a golf course. With a cast of characters that includes Missy-Jojo-the-Dog-Faced-Girl as lab supervisor, erotic romance writer and field volunteer Elena Solara, the ghost of socialite Bunny Wallace, and shovelbum Rusty Spittle, Praetzellis' brief textbook-as-novel introduces students to the hows and whys of field methodology in an entertaining but informative way. Ideal for your introductory archaeology classes and probably the only textbook you'll enjoy reading yourself.

Book excerpt: Rick Spears is a man of many skills and interests. An avid outdoorsman who loves camping, hunting, and writing, he has challenged himself to the ultimate adventure: a solo trek into the Alaskan wilderness, the home of countless predators who will have no fear of him. In the past, he had traveled in relative safety on hunting trips. Accompanied by just a few members from his hunt club and a photographer, they had encountered little danger. But now, he's going it alone in regions where he can't rely on help from the outer world. If things turn deadly, no one will even be able to hear his call for help, let alone respond to it. For the first time in his life, he will be truly alone with only his wits to keep him alive. He can't wait. Driven by adrenaline and ambition, Rick has spent months planning his adventure. He wants to write a book about a solitary life in the wilderness, a life without electricity or modern comforts, in the hopes of experiencing something that approximates what the old-timers endured. He knows that the only way to write that story with any credibility is to live through it himself--assuming he survives.

Book excerpt: Corporate Crime and its Victims It's not gold that glitters but health stolen from past workers. Poisoned by chemicals they used, many are sick and dying. The story reaches a journalist. Inquiries lead her to a new company, Gilt Investments, a public float promising an investor bonanza. It keeps the valued parts and leaves the risk behind. The workers get nothing. The clock is ticking. Can it be stopped? The publicity for Gilt Investments claims risk free investment and a gilded future. Is it real or is it golden spin, a new public mask of glitter to hide the guilt behind. Corporate lawyer, Stephen, knows Gilt Investments will give a great return. His own bonus and share allocation promise a cash bonanza. It is all set to go. He delivers the Prospectus to the printer to send out to select clients. It goes live in a week. But as the final hours tick away a journalist rings. A desperately ill woman has contacted her, she claims the past company has poisoned her. The more the journalist looks the worse the story becomes, not one but dozens of victims. And there is a trail of deception by the former company to hide the truth of what happened three decades ago. As she digs deeper she finds other victims, paid a pittance and then hushed up. Some are dead now but many others are alive and sick. The journalist find out an imminent company restructure will separate a murky past from a glittering future. As she gets closer to the truth the company turns to sexual blackmail, used against her. It is a race on three counts, to stop the float clock so the assets don't vanish, to keep the victims alive to testify and to keep her own past buried, lest it derail it all.

Download or read book Dealing With The Devil s Deal written by L. Hurley Ankeny and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cocaine production, demand and sales has become an increasing problem in the Western Hemisphere. Motivation to purchase this narcotic by dealers, despite its high prices, and their capability to get the processed product to eager end buyers, has caused a high volume of illegal trafficking. Mexico, in particular, has been deluged by a severe intensive drug war. Because of the many deaths resulting from this conflict, that county now maintains the unenviable position as the number one nation in our hemisphere attempting to cope with severe cocaine problems. The nation of Colombia experienced this highly undesirable situation back in tee 19905. Pablo Escobar, that country's drug king, became 50 powerful, that at times he virtually ruled the nation. But this power eventually became his undoing. Right-wing opponents from the Las Pepes death squads killed him in 1993. Although, Colombia became more stable after that occurrence, a left wing organization emerged to take on the right's counter activities. They are known as the Farqs, They are still able to maintain a hold on the power involved with cocaine. Concerning DEALING WITH THE DEVIL, Jack Broderick, the CIA station Chief in Peru, earns his keep by impeding the drug influences mentioned above. He does an amazing job by enlisting a hard boiled agent, Brian Koltai, from the U.S. Together, they prevent another costly war from occurring in the Andes like the one that had taken place twenty years earlier.
