Book Description
A taciturn and moody young man, Lieutenant Peter Kane, USMC finds himself thrust squarely into the center of the violence and bloodshed of a Central American communist revolution. As he soon finds out, nothing is black and white in this often confusing, often frightening, and always dangerous conflict. Follow Kane as he fights to get his inner demons under control with the same determination, strength of will, tenacity, and brute force he uses to fight his enemies in this Central American hell! WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING... “I couldn’t put it down...this book is non-stop excitement right up to the last page!” “It is a well-written, thoughtful book that reveals the author’s theories on foreign policy through an excellent work of fiction. Superb!” “This is an action novel that really focuses on character development. Levy genuinely tries to tell all sides of the story. Though this book was written almost twenty years ago, the message is more pertinent now than ever. Highly recommended reading...”

Book Description
EL NÚMERO SIETE ES LA EXPRESIÓN de algunas realidades naturales que nos rodean: las notas musicales, los colores del arcoíris, los días de la semana, los planetas que acompañan a la Tierra en el Sistema Solar, los continentes, y cada uno de estos últimos pueden seleccionarse siete montañas, siete islas y siete volcanes que destacan por su altura, situación geográfica y remotas regiones y lo aislado de su ubicación. En ello consiste el singular reto de la Trilogía Mundial. Completarlo requiere de escalar las siete cumbres más altas de los continentes, las cumbres de las siete islas más grandes y los siete volcanes más altos del mundo. CUMBRES Aconcagua, en Argentina Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Denali, en Alaska Elbrus, en Rusia Carstensz, en Irian Jaya, y Kosciuszko, en Australia Vinson, en la Antártida Everest, en la frontera de Nepal y el Tíbet. CUMBRES DE ISLAS Kerinci, en Sumatra Kinabalu, en Malasia Wilhelm, en Nueva Guinea Fuji, en Japón Tête Blanche, en Baffin Gunnbjørn Fjeld, en Groenlandia Maromokotro y Ben Nevis, en Madagascar y Gran Bretaña VOLCANES Pico de Orizaba, en México Nevado Ojos del Salado, en Chile Elbrus, en Rusia Damavand, en Irán Giluwe, en Papúa Nueva Guinea Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Sidley, en Antártida Lo más singular de este reto es el hecho de que, hasta el momento, solo el guatemalteco Jaime Viñals lo ha completado (añadiendo cumbres, como la del monte Kosciuszko en Australia y el monte Ben Nevis, en Gran Bretaña, por falta de consensos de su altitud). Puede que el número siete esté rodeado de un misticismo de perfección o divinidad, pero para el autor, han sido la determinación y perseverancia las virtudes que lo han ayudado a completar el reto, pues entre 1995 y el 2023, su conquista de cumbres constante ha sido un recorrido de veintiocho años de planeación y esfuerzos incansables. Esta obra es, pues, no solo la celebración de un éxito sin precedentes y la narración de experiencias con las que la mayoría de nosotros solo soñamos, sino también un testimonio de que cada cima requiere una cuota de sacrificios y el recordatorio de que no existen caminos en línea recta perpetua, y que altibajos, sudor y lágrimas pavimentan cada uno de ellos. Ojalá este compendio de diarios de ascensión inspire a más de uno a alcanzar las cimas de su propio recorrido, con los ojos fijos en la meta trazada.

Book Description
On November 13, 1985, catastrophic mudflows swept down the slopes of the erupting Nevado del Ruiz volcano, destroying structures in their paths. Various estimates of deaths ranged as high as 24,000 residents. Though the nature and extent of risk posed by the mudflows to local communities were well documented before the event and extensive efforts had been made to communicate this information to those at risk, the affected communities were caught largely unaware. This volume analyzes the disaster's many aspects: the extent, constitution, and behavior of the mudflows; the nature of damage to structures; the status of the area's disaster warning system; and the extent of the area's disaster preparedness, emergency response actions, and disaster relief effortsâ€"both at the time of the disaster and in the first few months following the event.
