Dealing with Privilege: Cannabis, Cocaine, and the Economic
Foundations of Suburban Drug Culture focuses on the careers of nine
successfully retired drug dealers, offering a contrast to
sociological, criminological, and other depictions of drug dealing
as a realm of the desperate, dangerous, and poor. David Crawford
tells the great untold story of drug dealing in America, where
white, middle-class dealers are unlikely to suffer the enforcement
of drug laws. Contrary to media portrayals, Crawford argues that
suburban drug sales are not oriented primarily toward making money
but at making friends and having fun. Using economic anthropology,
classic sociology, and neuroscience to analyze the life
trajectories of these dealers, Crawford touches on issues of crime,
race, culture, aging, gender, privilege, illegal drugs, and the
limits of conventional economics as a framework to understand
economic behavior.
Encountering Morocco introduces readers to life in this North
African country through vivid accounts of fieldwork as personal
experience and intellectual journey. We meet the contributors at
diverse stages of their careers-from the unmarried researcher
arriving for her first stint in the field to the seasoned
fieldworker returning with spouse and children. They offer frank
descriptions of what it means to take up residence in a place where
one is regarded as an outsider, learn the language and local
customs, and struggle to develop rapport. Moving reflections on
friendship, kinship, and belief within the cross-cultural encounter
reveal why study of Moroccan society has played such a seminal role
in the development of cultural anthropology. -- Indiana University

David Crawford Birrell graduated as dux of his school in Scotland
and after attending college went on to serve an apprenticeship in
electronic engineering with Ferranti Ltd. Later on while living in
Australia, David became involved in a series of events that led him
literally to his knees. He cried out, "If there is a God, show me "
What happened next changed his life and his family's forever. His
supernatural encounter with God has impacted many, and it must be
said at this time, not always in a favourable way. David challenges
the contemporary church to come out of its compromise, shake free
from the grip of humanistic and religious systems which corporatise
the church. He effectively communicates in a down to earth manner,
the biblical way to find healing and wholeness through intimacy
with God and the indwelling supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
As the cover suggests, David looks closely at the scriptures
pertaining to God's creation being called "gods." He reveals the
true Spirit behind these scriptures, and much much more. He also
touches on the controversy surrounding Genesis 6 and the days of
Noah. You may be surprised and shocked at what he has written but
it is a timely reminder that we are in fact in the last days. And
if the bible is true, many are even now believing they are heaven
bound when in fact they are on the SUBTLE, SLIPPERY, SLOPES of
HELL. David has spent almost twenty five years studying the bible
and bible prophecy and completed his Diploma in Christian
Ministries in 1998. David currently lives with his wife Rosemary in
the city of Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. He leads a small
non-denominational group of believers who meet in local parks and
homes throughout the week.
This study covers the heroic defense of the Oise in the vicinity of
Guise by the 228th Reserve Infantry Regiment (French) during the
28th and 29th of August 1914. It includes the concentration,
advance and retirement of the IV Reserve Corps. According to the
author, the study brings out the lack of liaison and communication
in all echelons of command, need for battle training, armies
operating together, necessity of a coordinated and organized
defense, and difficulty in daylight withdrawals. The second part
covers operations that discuss reconnaissance and information,
contact, delaying action, gaps between two diverging armies, and
movement from one flank of an army to the other.

In the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, far from the hustle and
noise of urban centers, lies a village made of mud and rock, barely
discernible from the surrounding landscape. Yet a closer look
reveals a carefully planned community of homes nestled above the
trees, where rock slides are least frequent, and steep terraces of
barley fields situated just above spring flood level. The
Berber-speaking Muslims who live and farm on these precipitous
mountainsides work together at the arduous task of irrigating the
fields during the dry season, continuing a long tradition of
managing land, labor, and other essential resources collectively.
In Moroccan Households in the World Economy, David Crawford
provides a detailed study of the rhythms of highland Berber life,
from the daily routines of making a living in such a demanding
environment to the relationships between individuals, the
community, and the national economy.
Demonstrating a remarkably complete understanding of every
household and person in the village, Crawford traces the
intricacies of cooperation between households over time. Employing
a calculus known as "arranging the bones," villagers attempt to
balance inequality over the long term by accounting for
fluctuations in the needs and capacities of each person, household,
and family at different stages in its history. Tradition dictates
that children "owe" labor to their parents and grandparents as long
as they live, and fathers decide when and where the children in
their household work. Some may be asked to work for distant
religious lodges or urban relatives they haven't met because of a
promise made by long-dead ancestors. Others must migrate to cities
to work as wage laborers and send their earnings home to support
their rural households.
While men and women leave their community to work, Morocco and
the wider world come to the village in the form of administrators,
development agents, and those representing commercial interests,
all with their own agendas and senses of time. Integrating a
classic village-level study that nevertheless engages with the
realities of contemporary migration, Crawford succinctly summarizes
common perceptions and misperceptions about the community while
providing a salient critique of the global expansion of
capital.
In this beautifully observed ethnography, Crawford challenges
assumptions about how Western economic processes transfer to other
contexts and pulls the reader into an exotic world of smoke-filled
kitchens, dirt-floored rooms, and communal rooftop meals -- a world
every bit as fascinating as it is instructive.
