Author: David Rodríguez Goyes File Type: pdf This book is the first green criminology text to focus specifically on Latin America. Green criminology has always adopted a broad horizon and explicitly emphasised that environmental crimes and harms affect countries and cultures around the world. The chapters collected here illuminate and describe the theft of nature and the poisoning of the land in Latin America through and from processes ofagro-industry expansion,biopiracy, legal and illegal trafficking of free-born non-human animals, and mining.An interdisciplinary study, this collection draws on research from a wide range of international experts on not only green criminology, but also social justice, political ecology and sociology. An engaging and thought-provoking work, this book will be an essential text for anyone interested in current issues in environmental crime.hr**ReviewEnvironmental Crime in Latin America offers an in-depth insight into the dark side of global interconnectedness, the illicit trade in wildlife, the environmental damages of economic exploitation and the damaging impact these have on local communities. The editors should be congratulated for creating a text in green criminology which focuses on Latin America. Hopefully, others will follow in their footsteps.

Author: Lorrie Moore File Type: epub A welcome surprise more than fifty prose pieces, gathered together for the first time, by one of Americas most revered and admired novelists and short-story writers, whose articles, essays, and cultural commentary--appearing in The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Harpers Magazine, and elsewhere--have been parsing the political, artistic, and media idiom for the last three decades. From Lorrie Moores earliest reviews of novels by Margaret Atwood and Nora Ephron, to an essay on Ezra Edelmans 2016 O.J. Simpson documentary, and in between Moore on the writing of fiction (the work of V. S. Pritchett, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth, Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Munro, Stanley Elkin, Dawn Powell, Nicholson Baker, et al.) . . . on the continuing unequal state of race in America . . . on the shock of the shocking GOP . . . on the dangers (and cruel truths) of celebrity marriages and love affairs . . . on the wilds of television (The Wire, Friday Night Lights, Into the Abyss, Girls, Homeland, True Detective, Making a Murderer) . . . on the (d)evolving environment . . . on terrorism, the historical imagination, and the worlds newest form of novelist . . . on the lesser (and larger) lives of biography and the midwifery between art and life (Anais Nin, Marilyn Monroe, John Cheever, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Eudora Welty, Bernard Malamud, among others) . . . and on the high art of being Helen Gurley Brown . . . and much, much more. Fifty years from now, it may well turn out that the work of very few American writers has as much to say about what it means to be alive in our time as that of Lorrie Moore (Harpers Magazine). **

Author: Conrad Hilberry File Type: pdf After-Music is a varied and rich collection of meditations on both the personal and universal. Among the many intriguing places, people, and events that Hilberry brings to life in these poems are watching manatees in a Florida canal, a reluctant priest blessing the animals in Mexico, a rushed and sullen checkout girl in the supermarket, and Day of the Dead skeletons that form a mariachi band. Some poems are formal-in sonnets, quatrains, and tetrameter couples-but most are free verse, all of them accessible and enjoyable reading. This collection is divided into five sections, organized by theme. The first and last sections are the most personal and contemplative, from the soul at seasons end in Open to the moon about to speak in Silence. In revealing and inviting confessions, the second section lets readers listen in on the thoughts of objects, including an oboe, a cherry pie, a moustache, a mousetrap, and a waning moon. The third section looks at horseshoe crabs, dust mites, memories stored in the hippocampus, creatures steering by pheromones through the sexual dark. The fourth section offers twelve Christmas poems, containing varied voices and a fresh look at that occasion-something few poems have attempted since Eliots Journey of the Magi. Hilberrys poetry bridges the gap between the ethereal realm of the spirit and the stark realism of the material world. Poetry lovers and teachers and students of contemporary verse will enjoy this significant volume. **
