Equatorial Guinea is not the first and only country where a pilot could ends up being a cab driver, but the big difference between the spirit of entrepreneurship and desperation in each case is that the Equatoguinean is not aware to a certain extent, that he is the rightful owner of a very rich country. In the last two years I have only taken a cab twice in Malabo, and both times by chance, I have always ended up talking about the same thing, God and only God. Our country is a very believing country, with many faithful who live their lives in eternal adoration, not because there are many churches or because of an exemplary religious freedom, but because the common people are a holy people, a Christian people for the most part, but not all of them. Many young Equatoguineans are lions who struggle every day to survive, as our ancestors did. Especially the cab drivers are a guild of great fighters, first class entrepreneurs. Sometimes we learn many things just by listening to the ideas of good people. In Equatorial Guinea we all have a relative, son, brother or friend who is a self-employed professional, a cab driver. Many young people in our country have been abandoned by historical circumstances to work in anything. The world is changing at such a dizzying pace that few events mark the dividing line between before and after, present, past and future, as the recent period of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Asad sees himself as chosen to avenge not only his family but his nation, his religion and the Great Leader - Gadhafi. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Twelve years later, Asad arrives in New York City, intent on killing all five surviving pilots across America who participated in the bombing, one by one. John Corey - from the international bestseller PLUM ISLAND - is no longer with the NYPD and is working for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force. He has to stop Asad's revenge killings. But first he has to find him. A thrillingly entertaining read from a master storyteller.

In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The Lion's Game, John Corey, former NYPD Homicide detective and special agent for the Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is back. And, unfortunately for Corey, so is Asad Khalil, the notorious Libyan terrorist otherwise known as "The Lion." Last we heard from him, Khali had claimed to be defecting to the US only to unleash the most horrific reign of terrorism ever to occur on American soil. While Corey and his partner, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, chased him across the country, Khalil methodically eliminated his victims one by one and then disappeared without a trace. Now, years later, Khalil has returned to America to make good on his threats and take care of unfinished business. "The Lion" is a killing machine once again loose in America with a mission of revenge, and John Corey will stop at nothing to achieve his own goal -- to find and kill Khahil.

"In the Lions Mouth is essential reading for scholars and field workers advancing humanitarian aid and human rights in the developing world. The book also provides cogent insight and information for clinicians who implement community mental health." Dr. David Swanger, Professor Emeritus, University of. California, Santa Cruz "This book reminds us that precursors of counseling and therapy have been in practice for thousands of years around the world and that counseling was not a Euro-American invention of the last few decades. Lewis Aptekar brings us with him as he seeks to reframe counseling and therapy 'outside the envelope'" Dr Paul B. Pedersen, Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University "Lewis Aptekar is one of the few scholars who places respect for the reality experienced by the people he studies above the illusion of the categories used in humanitarian aid. This ethical principle guides him and confronts him with dilemmas that an intelligent inquirer cannot avoid when facing people in difficult situations." Dr. Daniel Stoecklin, Professor, Institut Universitaire Kurt Bosh, IUKB, Childrens Rights Unit, Sion, Switzerland Can you imagine yourself living in Kaliti, a displaced person's camp in Ethiopia because you want to know what it's like to be such a person in such a place? But it's not just curiosity that takes you there. You are a skilled, well-practiced observer of human behavior in situ, so you know what to look for, what to record. And you are a first-class writer, easy to read, whose accounts of what he saw and heard are transmitted with enough detail, enough conveying of emotion that the reader is simultaneously moved while being informed, that you feel as if you, too, are there, in this camp in Ethiopia. The author of this compelling account of the strengths and weaknesses of humanitarian aid programs as exemplified by this particular but not atypical instance is Lewis Aptekar. This book is, in my opinion, as good as his earlier two classics, Street Children of Cali (1988) and Emotional Disasters in Global perspective (1994).

New York Cab Driver And His Fare written by Charles Vidich and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-09-29 with Social Science categories.
Using information derived from research and interviews with cab drivers, Vidich has written a basic work on New York City cab drivers (hacks) that also provides passengers (fares) with a survival manual. Cab drivers are quoted by newspaper columnists, politicians, and at dinner parties; yet a hard look at the profession and its role in the transportation system of the city has been completely lacking. Vidich brings out in clear language the conflicts between the cab driver's position as a dispenser of a public service and his needs as a working person subjected to violence and pressure. It is difficult to imagine a more enjoyable introduction to an industry whose members are a folk tradition. At the same time, this book provides insight into the history and sociology of an important urban institution. It is a book about cab drivers everywhere; and cab drivers and fares in all cities have a new handbook in this volume.

My name is John Dunne, first son of Alison Dunne, the first person to cross in our family. In fact the only person to cross in our family, that is until I, John crossed over to the other side of this world and what a world it is, this other side. Terrifying? Yes sometimes. Beautiful . . . yes sometimes. Beautiful terrifying and exhilarating and deadly all at the same time? Yes. Yes. Yes. We in this family are only a few of the many thousands that can cross over. Some of us however have that extra gift that allows us to go that one step further than most. I can and so can my half brother Michael Mac Coy. He is in fact only four years old and can do almost anything he sets his mind to. Of course being so young my mother Ali, his father Jason and I and our many friends have to keep a close eye on him at all times as he can disappear and reappear at will. To be totally honest that kid is a right old pain in the ass, every time one turns around he is in your face. We fight evil wherever we find it even it is within ourselves. I have met many a poor soul from this world and the other and I have stored their stories in a room somewhere at the back of my mind. Most of the time they stay there and are very scary and off putting but every now and then like one or two of the funnier ones suddenly spring to mind. Just to show you that it is not always doom and gloom but life as you well know can be quite hilarious at times. I would like to pass one of these stories on to you if I may? You may or not be interested but I have got to tell them to someone and sure it might as well be you.

The Blue Terraplane is a 89 page novel. This novel is written in the local unadorned Black dialect spoken in 1937 Bronzeville, Chicago. Bishop Flipper was a poor runaway southern Black orphaned teenager who encountered a starving crippled old Black man with a three-legged dog. After sharing his meager food with this old man, the old man promised the orphaned teenager a blessed life in Chicago for six and a half years. On July 12, 1937, Madame Madelyn, a frail pipe-smoking elderly woman, invited Bishop to her to mysterious storefront business. Madelyn, a voodoo priestess, warned her guest that his blessed six-and-a-half year period would end on July 13, 1937. This old lady offered the young man a battered old bronze magic ring, which she claimed would protect him from any harm. At noon, July 13, Bishop encounters Raoul La Croix and Paloma Issert. Raoul was huge menacing-looking, baldheaded Black man with a long serpentine stiletto who was treating the helpless Paloma Issert in the local Illinois Central train station. Paloma Issert was a young girl, from Algiers, Louisiana, who was desperately attempting to escape from Raoul. Quickly, Raoul became Bishop's adversary, while Paloma became his femme fatale.
