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 Press

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.
