Book excerpt: Good or evil, reward or punishment, justice or revenge, who decides? Today we have laws, people sworn to enforce those laws and a legal system which decides the guilt or innocence of an individual and the manner of punishment. But what if a crime is not punished? What if the evil act goes unnoticed? What then? Who decides what is evil? NO DEED UNPUNISHED explores such a quandary. Here a deed committed for all the right intentions is seen in the end as evil and must be punished. But what if the individual who makes this decision is the product of an evil act himself. Might he not be seen as a bad seed, and therefore unqualified to make these decisions? Unfortunately there is no one to counsel or stop this individual before embarking on a mission to punish the evildoer. Enter New York City Homicide Detective John Straub, assigned to solve a series of heinous crimes committed against seemingly innocent and unrelated women. The only thing these women seem to have in common is that they all have infant sons. So why have they been targeted? Detective Straub and his partner/lover, Detective Nancy Mooney will be called upon to use all their skills and experience to stop the killer before he strikes again. What neither of the detectives realize is that the killer is closer then they think.

Download or read book Back Channel to Cuba written by William M. LeoGrande and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is being made in U.S.-Cuban relations right now. This powerful book is essential to making sense of the new and ongoing steps towards normalization between the longtime antagonists. Challenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual hostility between the United States and Cuba--beyond invasions, covert operations, assassination plots using poison pens and exploding seashells, and a grinding economic embargo--Back Channel to Cuba chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward rapprochement and reconciliation. Since 1959, conflict and aggression have dominated the story of the United States and Cuba. Now, William M. LeoGrande and Peter Kornbluh present a remarkably new and relevant account. From John F. Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Fidel Castro after the missile crisis, to Henry Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Barack Obama's promise of a new approach, LeoGrande and Kornbluh reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, indicating a path toward a world beyond the legacy of hostility. LeoGrande and Kornbluh have uncovered hundreds of formerly secret U.S. documents and conducted interviews with dozens of negotiators, intermediaries, and policy makers, including Fidel Castro and Jimmy Carter. The authors describe how, despite the intense political clamor surrounding efforts to improve relations with Havana, serious negotiations have been conducted by every presidential administration since Eisenhower's through secret, back-channel diplomacy. Including ten critical lessons for U.S. negotiators, the book offers a key perspective on the normalization process underway and illuminates a fascinating passage in U.S.-Cuban relations as it happens.

Download or read book The Changing Profile of Corporate Climate Change Risk written by Mark Trexler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help business executives to (1) rethink their perceptions of climate risk (2) evaluate whether their company is effectively positioned, and (3) make informed and prudent business decisions about climate change risk in an environment rife with policy uncertainty.Business risk associated with climate change is commonly assumed to be primarily policy driven. Many companies internalize the current stalemate over global climate policy into a perception that climate risk is no longer a critical issue. Business climate risks, however, include: Operational and Supply Chain (Physical) Risk, Brand Risk, Market-driven Structural Risk, Liability Risk.As national and global policy to materially reduce climate change is delayed, it is business-prudent to assume that the level of climate risk is increasing. Even if policy risk might seem lower today than a few years ago, political will can change quickly. Should physical impacts of climate change manifest in dramatic ways, for example, draconian climate policy is likely to follow quickly. These conditions create a complex and shifting business risk environment, and most companies either overlook or substantially underestimate key climate risks. How many companies, for example, are positioned for material climate change outcomes, whether physical or regulatory? Companies with little climate change exposure may not face much downside risk from taking a wait-and-see approach. For those with greater exposure, being "too late" to respond will mean costs and competitive impacts that could have been avoided. Being "too early," however, can mean being penalized later for actions that reduce a company’s emissions today, or competitive disadvantage from getting too far out in front of competitors.
