Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Rick Micado left South Carolina three years ago and has made a new life for himself in Pennsylvania. No longer does he act on the cartel's bidding. No longer does he kill for personal and business gain. In his Pennsylvania life, he has new friends, a new job, and a new conscience. He never looks back, and he doesn't miss a thing about South Carolina-nothing but Ms. Emily Marsh. When Rick learns that Emily's father has burned to death in his own home, he knows this was no accident. This is the cartel's way of saying they haven't forgotten. They want Rick back, and they'll stop at nothing to pull him from the shadows. Rick's love for Emily draws him into the open. He can't hide anymore, not when the woman he loves is in peril. He returns to South Carolina and soon realizes how easy it can be to slip into the familiar shoes of a killer. Rick's prime target is Tony Abrau, but Tony is only the beginning. The cartel wants to send a message, but so does Rick. He is not a man to be trifled with; threatening the woman he loves will earn the cartel nothing but pain; and once a killer, always a killer.
Jose Raga is a ruthless, violent drug dealer who would do anything to make a client pay. He isn't used to being pushed around, but when he gets a little too ruthless, he gets caught. Now he's trapped, serving a lengthy prison sentence that will put a serious wrinkle in his business plan. But Jose has bigger problems than a lack of income-someone is out to get him. Behind bars, Jose is brutally attacked by an unknown assailant. Soon, he begins spending more time in the infirmary than in his prison cell. If this continues, Jose may die in prison. He's got to figure out a way to stay safe-but first he'll need to give the authorities some help. In an effort to get some protection, Jose agrees to be a snitch. He has some valuable information concerning an unsolved double murder, and the police agree to a deal. Suddenly, though, Jose is found murdered. Even protection couldn't keep him alive. The cops still have lingering questions about the information given to them by the deceased Jose. His behind-bars testimony soon leads authorities to Miami, where they discover a violent team of female assassins who won't go down without a fight. There is more to this mystery than Jose disclosed, and it's going to be difficult for anyone to get away alive.
This book examines how current energy and water management processes affect Indigenous communities in North America, with a specific focus on Canada. Currently, there is no known Indigenous community-led strategic environmental assessment (ICSEA) tool for developing community-led solutions for pipeline leak management and energy resiliency. To fill this lacuna, this book draws on expertise from Indigenous Elders, Knowledge-keepers, and leaders representing communities who are highly affected by pipeline leaks. These accounts highlight the importance of providing Indigenous communities with technical information and advice, allowing them to practise community-led disaster management, and giving them direct access to lawyers and decision-makers. If implemented into current policy and practice, these tools would succeed in helping rural Indigenous communities make strategic choices for sustainable energy management and utilize their lands, traditional territories, and natural resources to develop a robust, sustainable energy future. Prioritizing Indigenous perspectives on energy management and governance, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and practitioners working in the fields of energy policy and justice, environmental sociology, and Indigenous studies.
A double homicide in a hotel parking garage in Columbia, South Carolina, is proving to be troublesome to investigators. The female victim is found shot in her car; the male is a rent-a-cop, paid to protect the parking garage from breakins and bandits. They had nothing in common, and although the brutality of the killing points to a hit, lack of evidence points to a more random act. The "Irish Duo"-Detectives Kevin Riley and Walter Murphy-are called to the scene. The woman is soon identified as Barbara Pinkham, assistant head nurse at a local medical clinic. As a matter of protocol, on scene officers make note of all nearby license plates. A vanity plate-I See U-leads Riley and Murphy to the doorstep of one Raphael Bonsante. Is there a connection between this married man and the dead woman? The spotlight is on Raphael when the detectives begin to suspect he was having an affair with Ms. Pinkham. They wonder if she planned to tell Raphael's wife, and maybe he wanted to shut her up. The scandal deepens, however, as Raphael's wife and an entire medical practice are put under the investigative microscope. The murderer might have left no clues at the scene, but where revenge is involved, people get sloppy.
Obesity is a global public health problem of crucial importance. Obesity rates remain high in high-income countries and are rapidly increasing in low- and middle- income countries. Concurrently, the global consumption of unhealthy products, such as soft drinks and processed foods, continues to rise. The ongoing expansion of multinational food and beverage companies, or 'Big Food', is a key factor behind these trends. This collection provides critical insight into the global expansion of 'Big Food', including its incursion into low-and-middle income countries. It examines the changing dynamics of the global food supply, and discusses how low-income countries can alter the 'Big Food'-diet from the bottom-up. It examines a number of issues related to 'Big Food' marketing strategies, including the way in which they advertise to youths and the rural poor. These issues are discussed in terms of their public health implications, and their relation to public health activities, for example 'soda taxes', and the promotion of nutritionally-healthier products. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.

International customary law prescribes a minimum standard of treatment with which all nations must accord-aliens are entitled to ""life, liberty, and property"" while resident outside their own country. Based on a first-hand examination of original sources, this survey shows that, while the United States has carefully maintained its sovereign right to control and limit the immigration of aliens, it has been very generous to those within its gates.
