The Wisdom of Rain
ON A MOONLESS NIGHT HIGH IN THE SIERRA NEVADA... Sheriff's Corporal Ana Orozco cruises a dangerous ridgetop road, searching for a pickup truck that reportedly crashed into the river canyon eighty feet below. Investigating the accident, she soon finds herself racing to solve a kidnapping, a murder, a sixteen-year-old suspicious death, and treachery in her own department. At the heart of it all is a brutal narcotics network that has gained a foothold in Ana's beloved El Cedro County. Aiding her investigations is her handsome commanding officer, Captain Ed Givens, along with eccentric independent miner Silas Tuttle, and the kidnap victim herself-a mysterious young woman who works from hiding to bring her tormentors to justice. But as Ana unravels these mysteries, she's confronted with devastating revelations about those she trusts most...including herself. Set in the scenic, history-rich, and wildfire-plagued Northern California foothills, The Wisdom of Rain is tightly plotted and suspenseful, with surprising turns and a satisfying conclusion.
Spanish in Africa/Africa in Spanish
Since the 1960s, Afro-Hispanic linguistics has produced vital knowledge at the intersection of African diaspora studies and Spanish sociolinguistics – yet many misconceptions persist in research literature. To challenge those biased assumptions, the contributions gathered in this volume present current research on Afro-Hispanic varieties from both sides of the Atlantic (Equatorial Guinean Spanish, Palenquero, Afro-Puerto Rican Spanish from Loíza, San Andrean [Colombia] Raizal Spanish) and address the influence of Portuguese-based Creoles on Afro-Hispanic varieties during the early colonial era. Conceived in cooperation with students, activists, social workers, civil servants, and research...

Voices of the Korean Comfort Women
An innumerable number of young women were taken from Korea during the Pacific War to provide sexual services to Japanese soldiers. These women, including teenagers, euphemistically referred to in Japanese documents as Comfort Women, were shipped to the vastly expanded battlefronts throughout the Japan-occupied territories covering Northern China to Myanmar and to the South Pacific Islands. Many of these girls died, were killed or abandoned during and after the war, but a small percentage of them returned only to face yet another devastating war at home and lasting social stigma. In Voices of the Korean Comfort Women, nine survivors tell their traumatic life stories as to how they were taken,...

Microinjection and Transgenesis
The establishment of microinjection protocols about 20 years ago for cultured cells and shortly thereafter for the generation of transgenic mice by microinjection of DNA into fertilized mouse eggs greatly influ enced many fields of biology. Not only have the data generated using these approaches contributed to a large extent to our present under standing of gene regulation and cellular function of higher eukaryotic cells, but current knowledge and future developments in this area will certainly have a great impact on basic and applied research for many years to come. This laboratory manual describes the current state of the art in this research area and focuses primarily on both the experime...
