A Perennial Problem
Judy Lenox lies bludgeoned to death in her neatly tended flower bed. She had been the apple of her father’s eye, mayor of Tallahassee, mother of two young children, and a successful businesswoman. Judy’s teenage lawn-boy hated her. Every time he had worked for her, he had walked away humiliated. Three other teenage boys cannot explain what they were doing taking a dead woman’s car for a joy ride. Because of Judy, her former business partner had lost his business and family. She had fired the fair-minded planning commissioner who had served Tallahassee for 24 years. Her older stepbrother, when a young boy, had had to wrap his bed pillow around his head to muffle out his mother’s inconsolable crying. Judy’s mother had stolen his father away. His father had little time for him and his sister after Judy was born. Who else had this popular politician maligned? Detective Bailey McCall, slowly and with southern gentleness, sifts through diverse lives in Tallahassee and finds a crosshatch of motives for Judy’s murder. Did corrupt politics, business dealings, juvenile hormones, or two generations of family dysfunction cause this loving mother to be struck down?

Exotic Pests and Diseases
Exotic pests and diseases have long been an important concern in agriculture. The problem is becoming increasingly urgent and complex because agricultural trade has been liberalized worldwide, and as a consequence, the probability of spreading a disease or a pest through national borders has become a real threat, not only for the agricultural industry but also for human health and the natural environment. This edited volume’s list of international contributors reads like a Who’s Who of international agricultural research! This book includes ten interdisciplinary case studies that focus on specific pests or diseases that represent a range of threats to U.S. agriculture, wild lands and the...

Derecho Administrativo Sanitario - Tomo 2 Seguridad en los alimentos y acceso a los medicamentos
Los alimentos y los medicamentos son bienes especiales por su trascendencia para la humanidad. Asegurar el acceso generalizado a unos y otros es un reto que ha llevado a fijar objetivos planetarios internacionales para lograr el “hambre cero” en el horizonte 2030, e igualmente lograr acceso a los insumos básicos de la salubridad pública, como son los medicamentos. Los dos plantean también exigencias de seguridad, por condiciones mínimas de inocuidad, o ausencia de consecuencias dañinas en la extensa cadena de producción de los alimentos, hasta su consumo, así como por los riesgos científicos inherentes al desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos, a lo que se suman los enormes y crecient...
