Category : Social Science

Pages : 264
Book Description
Khat. A harmless natural stimulant or a lethal epidemic sweeping through the international drugs trade? Khat is a natural substance that, in the Middle East, is as ubiquitous as coffee is in the West. It is hugely popular in some African and Arab populations. But critics contend that it is a seriously addictive stimulant that damages the cardiovascular system.In a groundbreaking study, the authors go behind the veil of the drug, questioning its availability and its effect on its Red Sea producers. Interwoven with case studies from Djibouti to Rome, The Khat Controversy goes deeper to explore contemporary issues relating to globalization, ethnicity and culture. With its popularity escalating in London, Rome, Toronto and Copenhagen, khat is fast becoming a problem in the West. The first study of this contested drug, The Khat Controversy provides a concise introduction to the issues surrounding khat usage and suggests how policymakers should address them.The Khat Controversy: Stimulating the Debate on Drugs has received an honorable mention for the African Studies Association's 2008 Melville J.

Pages : 166
Book Description
A true entrepreneur always looks to the future, no matter what is bearing down—9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Great Recession, or the BP oil spill. With wit, hard work, guts, and a few cold beers, Jeff O’Hara and his businesses battled, bounced back, and survived these disasters, and we are the beneficiaries of the lessons learned along the way. But O’Hara’s lessons are no dry list of rules on entrepreneurism: This first-time author is a gifted storyteller with an edgy, one-of-a-kind sense of humor who informs and entertains with tales of the tragic, the triumphant, and the places and people only New Orleans can produce. Accounts of O’Hara’s life as he earned his place in the hospitality industry deliver colorful, honest insights into just what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur. It’s clear he loves what he does and that his successes are a result of his love for his trade, his independent spirit, and, of course, a commitment to overcoming anything that gets in his way. O’Hara’s wisdom will inspire entrepreneurs and anyone who appreciates a great story—from New Orleans natives to the rest of us who are fascinated by the life of this great city.

Book Description
Penny Caspian is hiding something. But it’s not that she killed the young dragon shifter girls that are washing up on the beach, no matter what Detective Lachlan Flint seems to think. That detective, well, she thinks he’s hiding something, too, with his handsome features and his drawling southern accent—what’s he doing all the way up north in Sea City, anyway? Why’s this guy the magical creatures detective, anyway? He doesn’t know anything about magical creatures. He keeps asking for her help in understanding the dragon shifter community, since he needs Penny’s expertise. And sure, Penny used to be part of that world. Dragons like to keep their glittering riches close, after all, and she was a pretty, poised part of her husband’s hoard. Like all dragons, she had the mating bond to keep her there. It’s no one’s business why she’s not there any more, or why she left her destined mate. One thing is for sure, it would be incredibly stupid to go and play detective with Lachlan Flint all over the city, exposing herself to the world of dragon high society. She just got away from all that. But dragon girls’ lives are on the line. The killer isn’t going to stop. And if she could help the investigation… Why does she always do the stupid thing?
