Book Description
Set in Peru in 1985, the novel is narrated from the viewpoint of Jim Hiram, an American businessman, asked by Helen Seymour, a wealthy Philadelphian, to find her wayward brother, Peter. He had fled to Peru to avoid lawsuits filed by his father to have him declared incompetent because of cocaine addiction and incursion of high debts. Her last word from Pete was a postcard from Tingo Maria, a center of the cocaine trade and Maoist Sendero Luminoso rebel activity. When she turns on the charm, Jim reluctantly agrees to the search. A sister trading intimacy for her brothers safety is a variation on that theme in Measure for Measure, though the treatment is not so dark since theyre mutually attracted and are modern in outlook, not Elizabethan. When her parents arrive with their own detective, and the father has a heart attack in the Andes, the plot complicates and their love is strongly tested before they come through it together.

Book Description
Is it beautiful like the residue of a birds hum? The last pound of the blind man drum. The rum of the scum, Is it the scent of a bakers thumb? The beautiful of the slum? The gift of the innocence/ confusion in the solution. A something of nothing or the nothing of something. The surrendered of superficial / is the hug from a poem. The kisses of an I miss you. The leftover dew from a long exotic nightThe last twisting on an erotic knot. Is it the cream that rose to the top/or the sugar rush from the last drop/The simmering of a rainbows nose/ snowflakes un-froze? Is it birds freed/ or insanity caged The teaspoon of humanitys first and last flavor /Drowning of a thought/ or the life saver. Now ask yourself this. Crumbs of a bums cake/Washing your face in midnights rage/ waking up with the good in morning caged/Laying down and sharing your heart with if, possible and maybe Erecting to the world aggression. Is crumbs from wanting the love /but Accepting the Mmmmms on the Fs between the liberations of breaths/ Crumbs of a bum cake where desires are lit or destiny blown outWhere the softest flowers grew into hard like rocks. To taste the crumb of a bums cake / where all senses radiateSparked by a revolution / and the most angelic earthquake partake Accepting the lost in winning/winning to not lose/ still confused by when you win -you still lose. In short, Crumbs of a Bums cake addresses the hardcore battle of drug addictions through six generations.

Book Description
What do the Mona Lisa, the light bulb, and a Lego brick have in common? The answer - intellectual property (IP) - may be surprising, because IP laws are all about us, but go mostly unrecognized. They are complicated and arcane, and few people understand why they should care about copyright, patents, and trademarks. In this lustrous collection, Claudy Op den Kamp and Dan Hunter have brought together a group of contributors - drawn from around the globe in fields including law, history, sociology, science and technology, media, and even horticulture - to tell a history of IP in 50 objects. These objects not only demonstrate the significance of the IP system, but also show how IP has developed and how it has influenced history. Each object is at the core of a story that will be appreciated by anyone interested in how great innovations offer a unique window into our past, present, and future.

Book Description
In his study of the Tangier expatriate community, Michael K. Walonen analyzes the representations of French and Spanish Colonial North Africa by Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Alfred Chester during the end of the colonial era and the earliest days of post-independence. The conceptualizations of space in these authors' descriptions of Tangier, Walonen shows, share common components: an attention to the transformative potential of the conflict sweeping the region; a record of the power relations that divided space along lines of gender and ethnicity, including the spatial impact of the widespread sexual commerce between Westerners and natives; a vision of the Maghreb as a land that can be dominated or imposed on as a kind of frontier space; an expression of anxieties about the specters of Cold War antagonisms; and an embrace of the underlying logic of the market to the culture of the Maghreb. Counterbalancing the depictions of Tangier by Westerners who sought to reconcile their nostalgia for the colonial order with their support of native demands for independent governance is Walonen's extended analysis of the contrasting sense of place found in the writings of native Moroccan authors such as Mohammed Choukri, Tahar Ben Jelloun, and Anouar Majid. In its focus on Tangier and the larger Maghreb as a lived environment situated at a particular spatial and temporal crossroads, Walonen's study makes an important contribution to the fields of urban, transatlantic, and postcolonial studies.
