W W Norton & Co Inc. New. Benjamin T Smith is one of the foremost historians of modern Mexico A professor at the University of Warwick, his previous books have explored politics, violence, Catholicism, and journalism in modern Mexico He also provides expert witness accounts for Mexican asylum seekers escaping gang violenceThe Mexican drug trade has inspired prejudiced narratives of a war between north and south, white and brown; between noble cops and vicious kingpins, corrupt politicians and powerful cartels In this first comprehensive history of the trade, historian Benjamin T Smith tells the real story of how and why this one-peaceful industry turned violent He uncovers its origins and explains how this illicit business essentially built modern Mexico, affecting everything from agriculture to medicine to economics?and the country's all-important relationship with the United StatesDrawing on unprecedented archival research; leaked DEA, Mexican law enforcement, and cartel documents; and dozens of harrowing interviews, Smith tells a thrilling story brimming with vivid characters?from Ignacia "La Nacha" Jasso, "queen pin" of Ciudad Juz, to Dr Leopoldo Salazar Viniegra, the crusading physician who argued that marijuana was harmless and tried to decriminalize morphine, to Harry Anslinger, the Machiavellian founder of the American Federal Bureau of Narcotics, who drummed up racist drug panics to increase his budget Smith also profiles everyday agricultural workers, whose stories reveal both the economic benefits and the human cost of the tradeThe Dope contains many surprising conclusions about drug use and the failure of drug enforcement, all backed by new research and data Smith explains the complicated dynamics that drive the current drug war violence, probes the US-backed policies that have inflamed the carnage, and explores corruption on both sides of the border A dark morality tale about the American hunger for intoxication and the necessities of human survival, The Dope is essential for understanding the violence in the drug war and how decades-old myths shape Mexico in the American imagination today50 illustrations, W W Norton & Co Inc, 6, Trade Paperback.

It's 1994, an election year when violent crime is rampant, voters want action, and politicians smell blood. When a Latino teenager confesses to the murder of a pretty-boy cokehead outside a gay bar in L.A., the cops consider the case closed. But Benjamin Justice, a disgraced former reporter for the Los Angeles Times, sees something in the jailed boy others don't. His former editor, Harry Brofsky, now toiling at the rival Los Angeles Sun, pries Justice from his alcoholic seclusion to help neophyte reporter Alexandra Templeton dig deeper into the story. But why would a seemingly decent kid confess to a brutal gang initiation killing if he wasn't guilty? And how can Benjamin Justice possibly be trusted, given his central role in the Pulitzer scandal that destroyed his career? Snaking his way through shadowy neighborhoods and dubious suspects, he's increasingly haunted by memories of his lover Jacques, whose death from AIDS six years earlier precipitated his fall from grace. As he unravels emotionally, Templeton attempts to solve the riddle of his dark past and ward off another meltdown as they race against a critical deadline to uncover and publish the truth.

A Natural History | Translator: Svensson, Manne | Language: Svenska --- Information regarding the book: Nepotism, favorisering av släktingar, svågerpolitik, är en företeelse med många fler utövare än försvarare. Nepotism betraktas som mycket orättvis och en allvarlig kränkning av demokratiska principer och vår känsla av "fair play". Nepotism har dock alltid funnits och kommer alltid att göra det. På senare år har den vaknat till liv på ett sätt som gör att man nu kan tala om en "ny nepotism", och detta är enligt författaren inte bara av ondo. Med utgångspunkt i modern forskning och lärdom, inom så skilda områden som antropologi, biologi, evolutionsteori, historia, samhällsteori och politik, visar han att nepotismen sedan tidernas begynnelse är en av samhällets primära krafter. Den är en av de saker som gör oss till människor. Han berättar hur nepotismen florerat i historien från det antika Kina, Grekland och Rom över i det medeltida Europa och renässansen till de senaste århundradenas demokratiska samhällen. Under resans gång porträtterar han, ur ett nytt perspektiv, kända och ökända figurer ur historien som Abraham, Perikles, Julius Cæsar, Karl den store, Napoleon och Benjamin Franklin och familjer som Borgia, Rothschild, Roosevelt, Kennedy och Bush. I slutkapitlet argumenterar författaren för att betrakta nepotism som en konst - något som kan utövas bra eller dåligt. Han försvarar inte på något sätt den vulgärnepotism som återfinns i korrupta byråkratiska system, utan lyfter fram den nya, moderna nepotism som krupit fram. En nepotism som är bättre anpassad till dagens meritokratiska samhälle, mer pragmatisk och ansvarsfull och som kräver prestationer i gengäld. Och eftersom vi inte kommer att kunna göra oss av med den, så kan vi lika gärna diskutera den öppet. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery., 0, Blue Door, 2011.

Synopsis : You need clues. You need time. You need a motive. You won't have any of them. When a whole family is murdered in Stockholm, Detective Inspector Joona Linna knows there is only one person who can help find the perpetrator. Erik Maria Bark, retired hypnotist, is called in to work with Josef Ek, a fifteen-year-old boy who witnessed the brutal murder of his family. Following a series of accusations by his patients, Erik is reluctant to return to his craft but makes an exception for Joseph Ek. As he delves deep into the boy's mind, he discovers that Josef murdered his own family on the orders of his sister Evelyn. When Joona and Erik journey deep into the woods to find Evelyn, she admits that she was abused by her brother for many years. When she refused to submit to him, he took revenge on the entire family. When Josef escapes from custody and Erik's only son Benjamin disappears from the family home, Erik is thrust into a world of violence and gang warfare, forcing him to revisit his past to discover the truth. Update : Oscar-nominated director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules) has signed on to direct a Swedish adaptation of best selling crime novel The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler, reports The Hollywood Reporter. This is the first Swedish film in 24 years that Lasse Hallström will direct, and is the first in a planned franchise based on Lars Kepler's Detective Joona Linna series, which are the most successful Swedish crime novels worldwide after Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. In the novel, Detective Linna investigates a grisly triple homicide where the only survivor, a young boy, is too traumatized to testify. Linna convinces a famous psychologist, against his better judgment, to hypnotize the boy, setting off a terrifying chain of events. Lasse Hallström will begin shooting this winter for a planned 2012 release in Sweden., Blue Door, 2011, 5, London: Dewynters Ltd. [no date]. (4to staplebound) Very good plus.

"At 3pm on the afternoon of 12 February 1942, the French Submarine 'Surcouf', then the largest submarine in service with any navy, sailed from Bermuda bound for Tahiti via the Panama Canal. On board were 129 French officers and men, and three members of a Royal Navy liaison team. From the moment she left Bermuda, 'Surcouf' was never seen again. Not a single scrap of wreckage, body, or anything remotely connected with this giant vessel was ever found. (She) simply disappeared. On the night of 2 July, 1941 'Surcouf', docked in Devenport, was forcibly taken over by the Royal Navy in an operation that resulted in three deaths and many injuries. A motley collection of Breton fishermen were press-ganged into geting 'Surcouf' seaworthy again. Too slow and cumbersome to serve in home waters, (she) was sent off to Canada to escort convoys across the Atlantic, but almost immediately reports circulated that 'Surcouf' had sunk some of the ships in the first convoy she was guarding. When the British liaison officer warned his superiors 'Surcouf' was a menace and should not be kept in service, he was accused of cowardice and replaced by Sub Lieutenant Roger Burney, a young, naive officer who had enjoyed a long homosexual relationship with the singer Peter Pears and the composer Benjamin Britten, and was later to have 'War Requiem' dedicated to his memory. After taking part in the unauthorised seizure of the Vichy-held islands of St Pierre and Miquelon in December 1941, which greatly angered Roosevelt and embarrassed Churchill, 'Surcouf' was ordered to sail for Tahiti. Burney warned the Admiralty that (her) crew were unreliable, and that they were openly talking about mutinying and defecting either to France or Martinique. However, the Admiralty insisted 'Surcouf' sail - it was never seen again. The vanishing of 'Surcouf' became one of the most controversial affairs to sour relations between the Allies with accusations that it had been deliberately sunk by the British or American navy."
