After being wounded in Vietnam, nineteen-year-old Rico Divina is sent home to a string of low-paying jobs and shabby apartments while trying to cope with the demons inside him. As an "indipino" (half Yakima, half Fillipino), Rico has come up against obstacles all his life--those of race, culture, nationality, and now the experience of war--that have left him without hope. In time he embarks on a course that is self-destructive and increasingly violent. People and situations present themselves, offering him the chance to turn his life around, but Rico, whether from lack of faith or pride, rejects them. The only thing that sustains him is writing his own story with a happy ending--something he has long suspected he will never have.
Global Migration and the World Economy: Two Centuries of Policy and Performance
World mass migration began in the early nineteenth century, when advances in transportation technology and industrial revolutions at home enabled increasing numbers of people to set off for other parts of the globe in search of a better life. Two centuries later, there is no distant Asian, African, or Latin American village that is not within reach of some high-wage OECD labor market. This book is the first comprehensive economic assessment of world mass migration taking a long-run historical perspective, including north-north, south-south, and south-north migrations. Timothy Hatton and Jeffrey Williamson, both economists and economic historians, consider two centuries of global mobility, assessing its impact on the migrants themselves as well as on the sending and receiving countries.

Bowdries Law by Louis L'Amour, ISBN 0553245503
Lawman, manhunter, peacemaker--it takes a hard breed of man to survive as a Texas Ranger, but Chick Bowdrie stands head and shoulder above the rest. The rough trails are his home, from the Big Thicket to the Pecos to the border. He's dried by the desert sun and wind, scarred and toughened by uncounted gun battles, and when you look into his black eyes it's like looking down the barrels of two .44s with their hammers drawn back. He rides in the name of justice, but he lives by his own law--Bowdrie's Law. And if you're thinking about walking on the wrong side of Bowdrie Law, you'd better start running. Fast.

Transforming Grace: Christian Tradition and Women's Experience by Anne E. Carr, ISBN 0826408737
We are all on a life-journey for which there is neither a map nor an itinerary. Howard E. Butt, Jr., takes us on his own life-journey along a road of pain, insight, love, and hope, illuminating the reader's way with wisdom and profound Christian faith. Addressing our personal need for reconciliation at its earliest and most intimate - between ourselves and our parents - Howard Butt recounts, with insights from both Scripture and psychiatry, his own experience and guidance for working through our relationships at home, in the workplace, and in the nation at large. His unique perspective shows how behavioral science gives new and fresh meaning to the Scriptures...and by doing so gives new and fresh meaning to life. Renewing America's Soul makes the dynamic paradox of the Trinity practical in everyday human relationships, showing its historic truth and reality as it really is: workable, pragmatic, all-embracing Good News! For Howard Butt, focusing on the God who is Triune offers us positive...

Billy Straight by Jonathan Kellerman, ISBN 0345413865
A resourceful runaway alone in the wilds of Los Angeles, twelve-year-old Billy Straight suddenly witnesses a brutal stabbing in Griffith Park. Fleeing into the night, Billy cannot shake the horrific memory of the savage violence, nor the pursuit of a cold-blooded killer. For wherever Billy turns -- from Hollywood Boulevard to the boardwalks of Venice -- he is haunted by the chuck chuck sound of a knife sinking into flesh. As LAPD homicide detective Petra Connor desperately searches for the murderer, as the media swarms mercilessly around the story, the vicious madman stalks closer to his prey. Only Petra can save Billy. But it will take all her cunning to uncover a child lost in a fierce urban labyrinth -- where a killer seems right at home....

Her, Her, Her, & Her
In this collection of 120 black-and-white photographs, Roni Horn takes us on a journey through a locker room in Reykjavik, Iceland. With minimal movement between the camera and subject in succeeding frames, and through the use of a slow-shutter technique, this finely crafted body of work provokes the viewer to contemplate the subtleties of each image. A blur behind a portal suggests that someone else is in the locker room with the viewer. Room numbers, open and closed doors, and intersecting hallways...
