"This story is not strictly a memoir ...it is also a history and analysis of the cultural and political forces that confronted the first and second generation Mexican Americans in San Bernardino, CA, my home town."--Title page.
Biodegradation mediated by indigenous microbial communities is the ultimate fate of the majority of oil hydrocarbon that enters the marine environment. The aim of this Research Topic is to highlight recent advances in our knowledge of the pathways and controls of microbially-catalyzed hydrocarbon degradation in marine ecosystems, with emphasis on the response of microbial communities to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In this Research Topic, we encouraged original research and reviews on the ecology of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, the rates and mechanisms of biodegradation, and the bioremediation of discharged oil under situ as well as near in situ conditions.
Since her husband's tragic death in a sabotaged undercover operation over a year ago, Jentry Dunlap has struggled to maintain a normal life for her four-year-old son. When her late husband is accused of taking evidence totaling 1.3 million dollars, she sets out to clear his name and avert her son's potential disillusionment. As the notorious drug cartel responsible for her husband's death targets Jentry and her son, her faith flounders and her trust in people vanishes. FBI Special Agent Graham Jackson is called to protect the downed cop's family. Certain that God, rather than his superiors, has placed him on this assignment, Graham is eager to face with Jentry the challenges of mayhem, treachery and the horror of being ruthlessly pursued. Beautiful, vulnerable, yet strangely secretive, Jentry is an enigma to him. He soon learns that she's not only hiding from her late husband's killers, but also from her past.

There is virtually nowhere on earth that remains untouched by plastics and the situation presents a serious threat to our natural world. Despite the magnitude of the problem, the interventions most often put in place are consumer-led and market-based and only nominally capable of addressing the issue. As the problem worsens and neoliberal ideologies limit the world’s responses to this crisis, there is a growing need for legislative frameworks that attend to the complex social and ecological issues associated with plastics. The contributors to this volume bring expertise from across academic disciplines to illustrate how plastics are produced, consumed, and discarded and to find holistic an...
