Murder Unpunished
In November of 1977, Terry Lee Farmer, a white inmate at Arizona State Prison in Florence, walked up to black prisoner Waymond Small in front of sixty witnesses and stabbed him in the heart with a shank. Small had agreed to testify before the state legislature about gang violence inside Arizona State Prison and was murdered the day before his scheduled appearance. This murder proved the catalyst for an all-out war between the State of Arizona and the Aryan Brotherhood. Through five trials, Farmer claimed self-defense and the jurors acquitted all ten of his co-conspirators. Thornton Price, one of the defense attorneys, now tells how Farmer and Small became cannon fodder in this war to reclaim...
The Tide of Poverty
The Tide of Poverty is a soberingly plausible account of how easy it would be to bring a nuclear device into our nation and to destroy not only the northern half of the State of Washington but to deliver four additional nuclear dirty bombs to our nations capital. As wildfi res ravage our nation, as states secede from the union, as right wing hate groups gain leverage not only in local areas but in national politics as well the reader will begin to realize how perilously close to anarchy our nation has drifted. It is also a delightful account of how in many crisis ordinary people rise to what is demanded of heroes and thwart diabolical plots of massive intrigue and power. It is seldom the sup...
Mid-term evaluation of the project “Forest and Farm Facility – Climate resilient landscapes and improved livelihoods” – Phase II
The second phase of the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) aims at supporting forest and farm producers and their organizations (FFPOs) to enable climate-resilient landscapes and improved livelihoods, through the approval of small grants for producers organizations, training and exchanges, and the documentation and dissemination of good practices. The mid-term evaluation highlights the uniqueness of the FFF and its potential to influence global forestry narratives and practices, beyond the sum of its achievements in core countries, and recognizes that the FFF is broadening FAO’s corporate narrative and global positioning on forestry and its interface with agriculture, livelihoods and the envir...
Prosperity in place
Future generations are shaped by the opportunities afforded now to youth. Yet youth - defined here as those between 15-24 years of age – make up close to half the world’s unemployed. Rural rates of unemployment are particularly high. This is especially so for young women. United Nations figures class 75 percent of youth as underutilised. By this they mean: unemployed, in irregular (informal jobs), or outside of formal education and training. Underutilised youth are a missed opportunity. This report is written for the leaders of Forest and Farm Producer Organisations (FFPOs). In rural areas, FFPOs are often the major, or sometimes only employers. Set up to pursue the values of their members, FFPOs contribute to rural prosperity: namely ‘a negotiated vision of that which people value and have reason to value in line with the common good’. All people have their own vision of what prosperity looks like – and that is why a negotiation of a collective vision is important – so that the perceptions of different groups of people, such as youth, are taken into account.
Developing bankable business plans
This guide was developed to improve the capacity of small producers, their organizations and small and medium-sized enterprises to access private investment and finance for sustainable forest-based businesses. It offers a framework to think through, organize and develop a convincing investment proposal. The guide introduces ten key elements, presented as modules, which should be included in any bankable business plan. Templates, tips and advice also provide users with a structured way to think through and substantiate information related to each of these elements. The goal is to increase the business’ attractiveness to funding sources and thus facilitate access to finance. The guide is especially aimed at those producer organizations and companies that seek to scale up operations and need the know-how to do it themselves.
Strong and Hard Women
Females with large muscles evoke strong reactions from men and women, often involving disgust, discomfort, anger and threat. The controversial nature of female bodybuilding has caused a significant rupture on feminist ground. Whilst proponents claim that female bodybuilding is a way of empowering and liberating women, others see it as a form of corporeal entrapment. This book investigates the controversy. Do women who pump iron resist physical restrictions of imposed femininity, or are they engaged in an ultimately oppressive quest for ‘perfect bodies’? In an original two year ethnographic study based in the South of England, Tanya Bunsell immersed herself into the world of female bodybu...
