British reporter Ollie Gibbon has made it big in New York thanks to his three-part series on the Mafia. Trouble is, he made up every word, culling information from Godfather movies and his mobsters� monikers from pasta sauces. When his boss orders him to employ these �contacts� to bump off a rival, it�s not long before Ollie�s forced on the run. Chased into the crazy heartland of America by an enraged press owner and unpaid mafiosi, he determines to survive - bad meatloaf, folk dressed as furry animals, country music - and win back Gina, the girl he's lost over a dolphin-friendly tuna fight.

The studies presented in the collected volume Comparative Hungarian Cultural Studies— edited by Steven Totosy de Zepetnek and Louise O.

For some reason or another, author Linda Moore always ended up with bad people throughout her journey. She had a strange, unexplainable resistance to anything good that came her way. In Her Troubled Life, she shares her story of living a wild and tormented life. In this memoir, she candidly and honestly tells in flashbacks how being abused by her father at tender age set a dark tone for the rest of her life. Moore narrates how rapes, attempted suicides, abuse, character assassinations, infidelity, want, misery, and pain were some of her closest companions. Her Troubled Life details how Moore was blessed with musical talent, but for many years she did not take advantage of her opportunities. She met a Swiss man who helped turn her life around. A story that could be a study of humanity, Her Troubled Life discusses how one woman?s lifelong development was affected by an anguished childhood. It reveals Moore fully?a real woman who bears the effect of what others have done to her and what she has done to herself.

Guten Tag, Y'all

Nicknamed "Euroville," Spartanburg, South Carolina, is a home away from home for BMW, Michelin, Ciba-Geigy, and numerous other European corporations. Enriching our understanding of what globalization means to millions of small-town, blue-collar Americans, Guten Tag, Y'all looks at Spartanburg as a model of how determined communities can shape and influence globalization to their benefit--and liking. "South Carolinians in general and Spartans in particular do not believe in revolutions or quick fixes of any sort," writes Marko Maunula. Portraying Spartanburg to be a highly organized, hierarchical community, Maunula shows how it retained much of its preexisting culture and many of its institut...
