The family saga of Francisca and the Boys begins in the 1920s and ends after World War II. Chamaco and Francisca Delmonte moved to Denver shortly after they marry in 1920 in El Paso, Texas. They wanted to escape the poverty of the times that prevailed in Mexico and the adjoining state of Texas. Without any skills, Chamaco turns to gambling and other nefarious methods to survive and keep his family fed. His sons Nick and Davy are born in Colorado. Chamaco dies in the late 1930s, forcing Francisca to move the family to Chicago to start a new life. After working as a waitress, she eventually opens a business of her own. Her son Davy marries, while Nick joins the Navy right after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Davy is injured in a fight and lands in a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, Nick goes overseas and begins his war saga at Pearl Harbor, the Solomon Islands and the Philippines. Joy, humor and sadness continue the evolving story in the novel's sequel that begins in the late 1940s. Now retired, Alfred Arroyo is a writer and an artist. He lives in Cicero, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. To learn more about the author and his paintings visit http: //fredarroyoart.com.Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/AlfredArro

Kara sang well. It was amazing how she memorized the lyrics of the song at such a young age. As she sang, my thoughts wondered to the time when my mother Francisca Lacierna Mercado, and her younger sister Ninay, fetched their sick brother Gadong who escaped from his Japanese captors during the infamous Death March in April 1942…

Murder at sea. No survivors, no evidence, no loose ends. Only a boatload of cash left for the taking. In this explosive novel from the author of the Travis McGee series, nothing is certain—not with enough money at stake to change a dozen lives . . . or end them. Introduction by Dean Koontz Crissy Harkinson knows all about the cash that left the Gold Coast of Florida, headed for the Bahamas on board a pleasure boat. It came from Texas, unrecorded, intended as a bribe. Now it is Crissy’s last chance for the big score she’s been working toward for years, using her brains and her body. Then other people get involved, including a Texas lawyer too cool to commit himself to anything or anybody, a beautiful Cuban maid who might not be as silly as she seems, and a pitifully broken girl, adrift and unconscious in a tiny boat on the giant blue river of the Gulf Stream. Turns out these are shark-infested waters. And none of them are going down without a fight. Praise for John D. MacDonald and The Last One Left “As a young writer, all I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me.”—Dean Koontz “A stunning adventure.”—Chicago Tribune “John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place.”—Jonathan Kellerman

Who Counts written by Diane M. Nelson and has been published by Duke University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-11-05 with Social Science categories.
In Who Counts? Diane M. Nelson explores the social life of numbers, teasing out the myriad roles math plays in Guatemalan state violence, economic exploitation, and disenfranchisement, as well as in Mayan revitalization and grassroots environmental struggles. In the aftermath of thirty-six years of civil war, to count—both numerically and in the sense of having value—is a contested and qualitative practice of complex calculations encompassing war losses, migration, debt, and competing understandings of progress. Nelson makes broad connections among seemingly divergent phenomena, such as debates over reparations for genocide victims, Ponzi schemes, and antimining movements. Challenging the presumed objectivity of Western mathematics, Nelson shows how it flattens social complexity and becomes a raced, classed, and gendered skill that colonial powers considered beyond the grasp of indigenous peoples. Yet the Classic Maya are famous for the precision of their mathematics, including conceptualizing zero long before Europeans. Nelson shows how Guatemala's indigenous population is increasingly returning to Mayan numeracy to critique systemic inequalities with the goal of being counted—in every sense of the word.

What would you give up today for a better tomorrow? Many individuals give up the only world they know in pursuit of a better tomorrow. Spanning more than one hundred years, Pursuing a Better Tomorrow, is not just a memoir that portrays the history of three generations, but rather an inspiring cross-generational journey from Spain to the US. Four interconnected stories focus on one of the main characters in a given era. Their personal stories illustrate the challenges and opportunities of immigration, acculturation, coming of age, and self-discovery through the characters’ psychological and moral growth. The characters portray the strength of character required to achieve a better tomorrow given the twists, turns, and synchronistic events that shaped their lives. The novel transports the reader to a time long forgotten with a readable historical overview of the Taíno, the conquistadors, early settlers, the Spanish Empire, and the Dominican Republic, interspersed within the narrative through the perspective of the character of the era. De La Rosa candidly shares her coming-of-age story of self-discovery as she transitioned from New York City’s projects to corporate America, detailing her personal and professional journey. From humble beginnings—and despite a myriad of challenges—unfolded a life of untold blessings and opportunities. “Pursuing a Better Tomorrow is entertaining as well as inspiring. The author’s tone is motivating.... offers a balanced view of immigration and all that it entails.” —OnlineBookClub.org Blanca De La Rosa was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City’s public housing, attended public high school, and graduated from Pace University. She retired from ExxonMobil after thirty-four years of service.

“Hihintayin ko na lang kung kailan ka na handang magsabi sa akin na tinatanggap mo na nga akong maging bahagi ng buhay mo. In the meantime, wear this ring to remind you that I’m gonna wait for you, no matter what.” Life was monotonous for Atasha. Trabaho-bahay, bahay-trabaho. Iyon ang routine niya araw-araw. Hanggang isang gabi ay may nag-alok sa kanya ng isang nakakaintrigang proposal: isang milyong piso kapalit ng isang araw na pagpapanggap bilang girlfriend ng bilyonaryong si Treize de Cordova. Sa kagustuhang maiba naman ang takbo ng kanyang buhay, tinanggap ni Atasha ang alok. Pero hindi niya inakala na sa ginawa ay mangangarap siya nang higit pa sa isang milyong piso… na sana ay ialok ni Treize ang puso nito.

I had always bounced back from my fears. Always. This didnt feel the sameit didnt seem possible to go through another very complicated surgery after barely surviving the last. How much can a single body take? I was strong, but this was a third major, very major surgery, the same one that had gone horribly wrong ten years ago. Considering the odds, although this one could save me, it was much more likely to kill me
