The Damage Done
A political intrigue of 1960s/70s FBI COINTELPRO clandestine operations written in narrative poetry. The "damage done" in Susana H. Case's remarkable poetry thriller set in late 1960s New York City is of two orders. On the surface, this is the story of Janey, a fashion model whose death under mysterious circumstances serves as an opportunity for a corrupt FBI agent in the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) to frame Janey's Black Panther lover for her death, making them both collateral damage in J. Edgar Hoover's clandestine war on anyone he deemed un-American. But on another level, as Case instructs us, the greater damage done is to democracy itself, to trust and faith in government, an enduring legacy of suspicion and division that serves as a cautionary tale at a moment when those divisions and distrust are more enflamed than ever. That's a tall order for a volume of poetry, but Case more than succeeds in this audacious, breathtaking collection. Poetry.

Mexico's Human Rights Crisis
Lawless elements are ascendant in Mexico, as evidenced by the operations of criminal cartels engaged in human and drug trafficking, often with the active support or acquiescence of government actors. The sharp increase in the number of victims of homicide, disappearances and torture over the past decade is unparalleled in the country's recent history. According to editors Alejandro Anaya-Muñoz and Barbara Frey, the "war on drugs" launched in 2006 by President Felipe Calderón and the corrupting influence criminal organizations have on public institutions have empowered both state and nonstate actors to operate with impunity. Impunity, they argue, is the root cause that has enabled a human-r...
New sanitation techniques in the development cooperation
The research interest can be defined in two steps. One is to economically evaluate the effectiveness of techniques because hundreds of projects were already implemented. The question needs to be raised to see which of the applied techniques is the most effective. An additional research interest occurred during the first research step when it was found that there were no significant economical differences in effectiveness between the techniques. If the technique does not necessarily determine a project’s effectiveness, then it is necessary to analyze other measurements and circumstances in a project‘s implementation to figure out the cause of its success.

Caring for Patients from Different Cultures
What happens when a Cherokee patient summons a medicine man to the hospital, or when an Anglo nurse refuses to take orders from a Japanese doctor? Why do Asian patients rarely ask for pain medication, while Mediterranean patients seem to seek relief for even the slightest discomfort? If the goal of the American medical system is to provide optimal care for all patients, healthcare providers must understand cultural differences that create conflicts and misunderstandings and can result in inferior medical care. Geri-Ann Galanti's updated classic, Caring for Patients from Different Cultures, is even more comprehensive than the first three editions, containing new appendices for quick reference...
Violence Against Latina Immigrants
"A meaningful documentation of the ways in which structural and cultural conditions in current immigration and violence against women laws in the United States reinforce the hierarchies and intersections of race, class, and heterosexuality that impact on the lives of battered Latina immigrants."---Natalie J. Sokoloff, author of Domestic Violence at the Margins: Readings in Race, Class, Gender, and Culture --
Still Standing
A shocking firsthand account of a woman’s fight for justice while being wrongly imprisoned, and the incredible stories of the women she meets on the inside. Anaité Alvarado was imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, and forced to fight for survival, edible food, decent living conditions, and a return to her young children. Despite her American citizenship, she was left to linger in a Guatemalan prison, at the mercy of a corrupt judicial system, fighting to be freed—and working to make the best of her situation in the meantime. This remarkable memoir is the inspiring true story of battling corruption, but also an introduction to the nameless women who linger in prison. There are other people wrongly accused, as well as those whose crimes were committed out of desperation. We learn their stories and see how even in the most deplorable of conditions, friendship, kindness, and humanity can persevere. In Still Standing, Anaité’s fight for justice is told in full detail for the very first time, and it raises the question of if a terrible, unexpected event happened to us, could we too persevere?
