God's Holy War to Rescue the Messiah
Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han Moon chose 2010-2013, the 60th anniversary marking the beginning and end of the Korean War, to send the Little Angels as patriotic ambassadors to thank the veterans in 22 nations for saving the nation of Korea from the invading communist forces and for rescuing Father Moon from a death sentence in a North Korean concentration camp. During this period, the Little Angels travelled the equivalent of more than six times around the world. More than 20,000 Korean War veterans and their families and over 100,000 people attended the Little Angels events in 22 nations. GOD'S HOLY WAR TO RESCUE THE MESSIAH, an eyewitness account of the three-year period, honors the courageous men and women who saved a nation and rescued the Messiah.
No Timber Without Trees
Much of the world's tropical timber is still supplied from natural forest, but under current systems of management the forests are rapidly becoming exhausted. Unless management practices change to become genuinely sustainable, neither the forests nor the essential contribution of the timber industry to many economies will survive. Duncan Poore reviews the extent to which natural forests are already being sustainably managed for timber production, and looks at how these practices can be enlarged. He places management for timber in the wider context of tropical forest conservation and outlines a strategy for further action. Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, this book will be useful for everyone working or interested in the subject of tropical forests. Foreword by Dato Dr B.C.Y. Freezailah Originally published in 1989
A Beauty that Hurts
When A Beauty That Hurts first appeared in 1995, Guatemala was one of the world’s most flagrant violators of human rights. An accord brokered by the United Nations brought a measure of peace after three decades of armed conflict, but the country’s troubles are far from over. George Lovell revisits Guatemala to grapple once again with the terror inflicted on its Maya peoples by a military-dominated state.
Desnaturalización de la Moneda
La presente obra expone el tema de la moneda, desconocido en su esencia, naturaleza hasta en su manifestación síquica en unos y en otros la revisten de una complejidad supra natural que tienden, en uno a omitir su poder causal en la vida en comunidad y en el otro a eludir la verdad para no exponerla o revelarla en su real dimensión. Bien nos enseñaba Aristóteles: "el hombre inventó dos cosas, el lenguaje y la moneda". Como tal, es el mismo hombre que la utiliza para liberar la manifestación del espíritu que es a no dudarlo el trabajo o bien esclavizarlo mediante la desnaturalización; que no es otra cosa que la usura a interés. De ello, el ensayo que acerco al lector es a mi entende...

Working Hard, Drinking Hard
"A theoretically cutting edge ethnography of neoliberalism as suffered by most poor people across the globe. Pine creatively links macro-structural forces in Honduras to the everyday life of factory workers, shanty town dwellers, gang kids, alcoholics and crack smokers within the context of globalized consumerism and the history of U.S. domination of Central America."—Philippe Bourgois, author of In Search of Respect "Gutsy fieldwork. A compassionate analysis of the links between work, violence, corporate capitalism, American empire, and self-worth. It will make your blood boil."—Laura Nader, University of California, Berkeley "Using largely the voices of others, Pine's rigorous but sensitive anthropological approach interweaves gangs, work, religion, drink, politics, and even globalization to show clearly how violence pervades the everyday life of many Hondurans. It is a realistic tour de force!"—Dwight B. Heath, Brown University

A Revolution in Movement
Honorable Mention, Latin American Studies Association Mexico Section Best Book in the Humanities A Revolution in Movement is the first book to illuminate how collaborations between dancers and painters shaped Mexico’s postrevolutionary cultural identity. K. Mitchell Snow traces this relationship throughout nearly half a century of developments in Mexican dance—the emulation of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in the 1920s, the adoption of U.S.-style modern dance in the 1940s, and the creation of ballet-inspired folk dance in the 1960s. Snow describes the appearances in Mexico by Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova and Spanish concert dancer Tortóla Valencia, who helped motivate Mexico to express...
Seeking Human Rights Justice in Latin America
This book studies how victims of human rights violations in Latin America, their families, and their advocates work to overcome entrenched impunity and seek legal justice. Their struggles show that legal justice is a multifaceted process, the overarching purpose of which is to restore human dignity and prevent further violence. Uncovering, revealing, and proving the truth are essential elements of legal justice, and are also powerful tools to activate the process. When faced with stubborn impunity at home, victims, families, and advocates can carry on their work for legal justice by bringing cases in courts in other countries or in the inter-American human rights system. These extra-territorial courts can jump-start the process of legal justice at home. Seeking Human Rights Justice in Latin America examines the political and legal struggle through the lens of the human story at the heart of these cases.
