Panic in the Jungle by Lena Lee Pdf

Sierra McAllister and her best friends set out on a much-needed vacation to the Caribbean. Sierra hasn’t been on vacation in over five years so looks forward to girl time without her husband. The women board the plane, and their relaxing journey begins—except things are not very relaxing. Their flight is purposely rerouted and lasts much longer than it should. When they land, although the suspicious flight attendant says they’re in Aruba, Sierra and her friends find themselves stranded in Brazil. At the airport, men with guns force the women into a car and threaten to kill them. They have been kidnapped, and it was all planned. With their families panicked at home, Sierra and the others are sold into the dark world of human trafficking. Their only way to escape is through the jungle, so they leave one danger behind to face another. Sierra knows fear will weaken them. They must stay calm and pray. Not only will their faith kick in, but these four friends will also discover the lengths they’re willing to take to survive.

Jungle Book by Chang Noi Pdf

The coup leader who believed he was the reincarnation of an eighteenth-century king. The godfather who was slashed to death by a machete on the orders of his son. The party boss who taught his followers how to negotiate corruption with hand signals. The general whose political career charts the destruction of Burmese forests. Thai politics often seem wild. For a dozen years, Chang Noi (the pseudonym means Little Elephant) has been stomping around this jungle, kicking up leaves, overturning rotten wood, and trumpeting in distress. This selection from the widely read column in The Nation newspaper provides lively, readable commentary on twelve years of change in Thailand's politics, society, culture, and environment. Drawing on a long-range historical perspective and an ample supply of dry humor, the columns have sometimes provoked Thailand's richest and most powerful figures to threaten lawsuits. This collection is a rich and fascinating kaleidoscope of the political and social jungle that is Thailand. Chang Noi first padded onto The Nation's editorial pages in April 1996. The name is a thinly veiled pseudonym for Pasuk Phongpaichit and Chris Baker, authors of Thaksin: The Business of Politics in Thailand and Thailand's Boom and Bust.

Altered State by Matthew Collin Pdf

From its first publication in 1997, Altered State established itself as the definitive text on Ecstasy and dance culture. This new edition sees Matthew Collin cast a fresh eye on the heady events of the acid house 'Summer of Love' and the rave scene's euphoric escalation into commercial excess as MDMA became a mass-market narcotic. Altered State is the best-selling book on Ecstasy culture, using a cast of memorable characters to track the origins of the scene and its drug through psychedelic subcults, underground gay discos and the Balearic paradise of Ibiza, to the point where Tony Blair was using an Ecstasy anthem as an election campaign song. Altered State critically examines the ideologies and myths of the scene, documenting the criminal underside to the blissed-out image, shedding new light on the social history of the most spectacular youth movement of the twentieth century.

Transcending Boundaries by Sandra L. Beckett Pdf

Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults is a collection of essays on twentieth-century authors who cross the borders between adult and children's literature and appeal to both audiences. This collection of fourteen essays by scholars from eight countries constitutes the first book devoted to the art of crosswriting the child and adult in twentieth-century international literature. Sandra Beckett explores the multifaceted nature of crossover literature and the diverse ways in which writers cross the borders to address a dual readership of children and adults. It considers classics such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Pinocchio, with particular emphasis on post-World War II literature. The essays in Transcending Boundaries clearly suggest that crossover literature is a major, widespread trend that appears to be sharply on the rise.

Panic and Phobias 2 by Iver Hand,Hans-Ulrich Wittchen Pdf

This volume reports in four sections the most recent developments of treatments in anxiety disorders. The current well-elaborated, though partly controversial, behavioral, cognitive, psychophysiological, and biological concepts for treatment of anxiety disorders are carefully evaluated (Part I). Part II discusses results of the short- and long-term effectiveness of the respective treatment methods, their side effects, and failures. Promising new basic-experimental and clinical studies from twenty research centers in Europe, Australia, and the United States shed new light on the relevant behavioral and biological variables and mechanisms involved in the development (Part III) as well as in the course and outcome of anxiety disorders (Part IV). Thus, for the clinician as well as for the researcher, this book provides the most up-to-date information about the current state of treatment-relevant research in panic and phobias.

Jungle Up by Nick Pirog Pdf

Weaving exotic locale and hairpin twists, author Nick Pirog’s Jungle Up plunges readers into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen is the jungle itself. A riveting thriller in the bestselling Thomas Prescott series. “Please find me, Thomas! Please!” Two years ago, Dr. Gina Brady broke Thomas Prescott’s heart, but now her panic-stricken satellite phone call starts it beating again with a fury. Thugs kidnapped the good doctor from the remote jungle village where she was working, and now the retired homicide detective’s expert skills are desperately needed to save her. Led by a colorful, but perhaps untrustworthy local guide, Prescott journeys deep into the Bolivian Amazon, plunging into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen, is the jungle itself. When Gina’s trail leads to a chance encounter with an archaeological expedition, the search for the missing doctor takes on even deadlier consequences. But Prescott will not relent in this punishing quest until, once again, he holds Gina in his arms. The books in the Thomas Prescott Series can be enjoyed in any order, so grab Jungle Up and get started today.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair Pdf

The Jungle follows the life of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian who immigrates to Chicago with his family in hopes of a better life for them. But they struggle to make enough money to even survive, and find America an alien and hostile place quite unlike their expectations. As tragedy after tragedy befalls the family, they can only watch as their dreams – and their lives – come crumbling down around them. Sinclair intended The Jungle to highlight the grim reality of life as an immigrant in America, but the general public were more affected by his realistic depiction of the meatpacking industry in Chicago, leading to rapid reform – the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act were passed shortly after, strictly regulating standards within the business. Upton Sinclair was an American journalist, novelist and politician. His novels often focused on real, pressing issues with society – for example, The Jungle exposed substandard conditions in the meat industry and The Brass Check exposed the issue of large-scale yellow journalism in America. His books were written during the Progressive Era of America, a time of political upheaval and major sociopolitical reform, addressing problems caused by industrialization and urbanization.
