This is the story of a refugee's struggle to seek asylum and a "green card" in the United States. Araceli Sandoval, a teenage college student, fled from her homeland in 1982 after she was abducted, raped and shot by a death squad during El Salvador's tragic civil war. She survived her physical wounds, but nearly went mad from post–traumatic stress during her desperate search for peace, first in Mexico and then in the United States. This novel focuses on the life of an innocent person transformed into an outlaw and a fugitive during her flight from persecution, and then subjected to a Kafkaesque legal battle by a government determined to deport her to her native land and certain death. Byron Park, a former INS officer, is a veteran immigration lawyer in San Francisco specializing in deportation defense. He is now a partner in the law firm of Park and Taylor.
The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. Intangible cultural heritage refers to the practices, expressions, skills, knowledge, and cultural spaces that cultural communities use to represent, share, and pass down cultural identities. This issue explores the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage, increasingly at risk from contemporary, commercial, and political forces. With special focus on performing arts, the contributors cover issues pertaining to the intangible past including policies, management practices, juxtapositions of innovation and tradition, cultural integrity, cultural value, and relevant ethical questions.
In 1974, a scientific conference covering marine automation group and large vessels issues was organized under the patronage of the Technical Naval Studies Centre (CETENA) and the Italian National Research Council (CNR). A later collaboration with the Marine Technical Association (ATENA) led to the renaming of the conference as NAV, extending the topics covered to the technical field previously covered by ATENA national conferences. The NAV conference is now held every 3 years, and attracts specialists from all over the world. This book presents the proceedings of NAV 2018, held in Trieste, Italy, in June 2018. The book contains 70 scientific papers, 35 technical papers and 16 reviews, and subjects covered include: comfort on board; conceptual and practical ship design; deep sea mining and marine robotics; protection of the environment; renewable marine energy; design and engineering of offshore vessels; digitalization, unmanned vehicles and cyber security; yacht and pleasure craft design and inland waterway vessels. With its comprehensive coverage of scientific and technical maritime issues, the book will be of interest to all those involved in this important industry.
