Book Description
Dr. Corinne Magnolia, a young, energetic, and enthusiastic PhD-level biochemist, is beginning her career in medical research. She accepts an impossible-to-refuse job offer at a laboratory in a suburb of Duluth, Minnesota, where she is to administer and oversee the impact of an experimental cancer drug touted as a cure-all for a wide range of cancers at all stages of growth, while not obliterating the immune system in the process. The new cancer drug was unknown in any U.S. territories until its introduction within U.S. borders by a world-renown physician Dr. Aron Perez, who is Dr. Magnolia's supervisor and mentor. At first an attentive and gracious teacher, Dr. Perez's true motives unravel once the seeds of the experiment have been planted. He all but vanishes, leaving Dr. Magnolia with an exceedingly high critical illness and death toll to tackle on her own, with only the help of her trusted Psychiatrist friend Dr. Richard Weisberg. With blood on her hands, and now the target of a nationwide manhunt leading directly back to Washington, D.C., Dr. Magnolia is forcibly sent on a quest to balance preserving her own life and freedom, with the lives of her patients. Bound by the limitations of her two-year contract and by an extraordinary devotion to her patients, Dr. Magnolia is cognizant that time is of the essence. Will she ever discover the truth? Will she be able to save the victims before it's too late?

Book Description
Drawing on testimonies from contra collaborators and ex-combatants, as well as pro-Sandinista peasants, this book presents a dynamic account of the growing divisions between peasants from the area of Quilalí who took up arms in defense of revolutionary programs and ideals such as land reform and equality and those who opposed the FSLN. Peasants in Arms details the role of local elites in organizing the first anti-Sandinista uprising in 1980 and their subsequent rise to positions of field command in the contras. Lynn Horton explores the internal factors that led a majority of peasants to turn against the revolution and the ways in which the military draft, and family and community pressures reinforced conflict and undermined mid-decade FSLN policy shifts that attempted to win back peasant support.

Book Description
Taking Aim at The Arms Trade: NGOs, Global Civil Society and the World Military Order takes a critical look at the ways in which NGOs portray the arms trade as a problem of international politics and the strategies they use to effect change. NGOs have been pivotal in bringing the suffering caused by the arms trade to public attention, documenting its negative impact on human rights, conflict, security and development around the world, and pushing for measures to control or eradicate the trade. Overall, however, their activity has helped sideline debate on Northern military predominance while facilitating intervention in the South based on liberal understandings of the arms trade, conflict, development and human rights. They thus contribute to the perpetuation of a hierarchical world military order and the construction of the South as a site of Northern benevolence and intervention. Stavrianakis exposes the tensions inherent in NGOs' engagement with the arms trade and argues for a re-examination of dominant assumptions about NGOs as global civil society actors.
