Se diría que alguien va buscando venganza y que Longmire es lo único que separa a los tres chicos restantes de un rifle Sharps del calibre 45-70. Junto a Henry Oso en Pie –su viejo amigo cheyene–, su ayudante –la joven y guapa Victoria Moretti– y un catálogo de personajes que pueblan el paisaje desierto de las altas llanuras, Walt Longmire intentará que la venganza, un plato que se sirve frío, no se lleve a cabo.

An estimated 1 out of every 6 men will have to come to grips with prostate cancer, and while there is abundant clinical information about prostate cancer available, we dont hear much from the men who have actually been through prostatectomy surgery or what theyve experienced during recovery. In My Prostate Cancer Adventure and the Lessons Learned, I take the reader through my experiences from the time I first learned of my cancer, my thoughts of how to deal with it, and what I experienced during my recovery. I tell my story on a personal level. Im direct and to the point. So if youre looking for a politically correct discussion of the topic put this book back on the shelf and look elsewhere. I talk man to man about a mans problem. My goal in writing this book is to let guys know what they can expect if they choose to undergo prostatectomy surgery. Theres not a lot of drama in this book. You may have to forgive my French because I tell my story without a lot of embellishment mostly.

Scholars have become increasingly concerned about the impact of neo-liberalism on the field of development. Governments around the world have for some time been exposed to the forces of globalization and macro-economic reform, reflecting the power and influence of the world’s principal international economic institutions and a broader commitment to the principles of neo-classical economics and free trade. Concerns have also been raised that neo-classical theory now dominates the ways in which scholars frame and ask their questions in the field of development. This book is about the ways in which ideologies shape the construction of knowledge for development. A central theme concerns the impact of neo-liberalism on contemporary development theory and research. The book’s main objectives are twofold. One is to understand the ways in which neo-liberalism has framed and defined the ‘meta-theoretical’ aims and assumptions of what is deemed relevant, important and appropriate to the study of development. A second is to explore the theoretical and ideological terms on which an alternative to neo-classical theory may be theorized, idealized and pursued. By tracing the impact of Marxism, postmodernism and liberalism on the study of development, Arresting Development contends that development has become increasingly fragmented in terms of the theories and methodologies it uses to understand and explain complex and contextually-specific processes of economic development and social change. Outside of neo-classical economics (and related fields of rational choice), the notion that social science can or should aim to develop general and predictive theories about development has become mired in a philosophical and political orientation that questions the ability of scholars to make universal or comparative statements about the nature of history, cultural diversity and progress. To advance the debate, a case is made that development needs to re-capture what the American sociologist Peter Evans once called the ‘comparative institutional method.’ At the heart of this approach is an inductive methodology that searches for commonalities and connections to broader historical trends and problems while at the same time incorporating divergent and potentially competing views about the nature of history, culture and development. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Development, Social and Political Studies and it will also be beneficial to professionals interested in the challenge of constructing "knowledge for development."
