The Golden Triangle
Author: Ko-lin ChinPublisher: Cornell University Press

Category : Social Science

Pages : 295
Book Description
The Golden Triangle region that joins Burma, Thailand, and Laos is one of the global centers of opiate and methamphetamine production. Opportunistic Chinese businessmen and leaders of various armed groups are largely responsible for the manufacture of these drugs. The region is defined by the apparently conflicting parallel strands of criminality and efforts at state building, a tension embodied by a group of individuals who are simultaneously local political leaders, drug entrepreneurs, and members of heavily armed militias.Ko-lin Chin, a Chinese American criminologist who was born and raised in Burma, conducted five hundred face-to-face interviews with poppy growers, drug dealers, drug users, armed group leaders, law-enforcement authorities, and other key informants in Burma, Thailand, and China. The Golden Triangle provides a lively portrait of a region in constant transition, a place where political development is intimately linked to the vagaries of the global market in illicit drugs.Chin explains the nature of opium growing, heroin and methamphetamine production, drug sales, and drug use. He also shows how government officials who live in these areas view themselves not as drug kingpins, but as people who are carrying the responsibility for local economic development on their shoulders.

Book Description
Welcome to the golden triangle—a gateway of sorts to hidden worlds so much like our own with unique differences that are wholly theirs. Some have termed it parallel worlds or a multiverse; others have named it the island universe theory. The golden triangle is a hidden doorway to all these and so much more. Not found on any map and seemingly nomadic, the triangle is almost sentient, avoiding all eyes that search for it as few have tried to locate it, yet no one have been successful. Until now. The golden triangle has now opened again and chosen you as the witness. Step forward and don’t be alarmed. The triangle wishes to show you something, and now all you can do is be swept along the currents and bear witness to all you see.

Book Description
In an equilateral triangle, all three sides and angles are equal and carry equal responsibility for the bearing of the structure. In the Golden TriAngle Module, the same is true. Each side of this valuable interpersonal communications module represents one of three interrelated, linked, sequenced, and correlated elements, and together they offer a critical tool for personal and professional success. The left side of the Golden TriAngle creates acceptance through socially accepted attitudes. It is through the horizontal bottom that we express and present ourselves. And the right side of the triangle looks after acting with an attractive, respectful, and effective manner. When the sides work in harmony, the triangle fills with gold. The Golden TriAngle is a general recipe for people seeking success and happiness through enhanced communication skills—necessary whether you’re a teacher or a student, a doctor or a patient, a buyer or a seller. In its pages, they will find practical counsel for increasing their self-image and thus gaining more respect and support.
The Golden Triangle
Author: Arthur Asa BergerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351482149
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This book offers a semiotically informed ethnographic study of contemporary culture in Rajasthan and India. It adapts the methodology of analyzing cultures found in Roland Barthes' semiotic portrait of Japanese culture, "Empire of Signs", but adds an analysis of lifestyles as explicated in the work of social anthropologist Mary Douglas, political scientist Aaron Wildavsky, and a number of other social scientists. This manuscript is, at first, a guide to Rajasthan and India, and it is that but it is also more in that it considers tourism from both an anthropological and sociological level.Berger begins with statistics on tourism and other aspects of life in Rajasthan and India, and then considers how tourism in India compares with tourism in other important tourism destinations. He refers to the "Imaginary India" as the picture created in tourists' minds with the help of guidebooks, media, and the Internet before they actually travel to India. He then discusses these representations and how they are actually different from the country itself. The trip itself then becomes the search for the authentic India - the goal is to find places before they are discovered. He calls this "Semiotic Rajasthan," where the representations are compared to actuality.After offering a discussion of semiotic theory, it interprets and analyzes a number of important aspects of Rajasthani and Indian culture such as: the Taj Mahal, the Palace of Winds in Jaipur, the notorious rat temple in Deshnok, and sacred cows. Lastly, he discusses his own trip and how the impact of Rajasthan did not fully register until he returned home.This manuscript's strength lies in the author's ability to write in an accessible manner, assemble the project in an interesting way, and include only that information which will guide the reader along the narrative trail. While this manuscript really is a guidebook to Rajasthan, it could also serve as a good introduction to ethnography for beginning students and an interested general audience. It moves from basic explanations, such as that of semiotics, to complex applications all with the grace of good story telling.

The Golden Triangle

ISBN: 1473371767
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
"The Golden Triangle" as another fantastic mystery by Leblanc featuring gentleman thief arsène Lupin. It takes place during World War I and wounded warrior Patrice Belval is in love with his nurse. This early work by Maurice Leblanc was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc was born on 11th November 1864 in Rouen, Normandy, France. He was a novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective, Arsène Lupin. From the start, Leblanc wrote both short crime stories and longer novels - and his lengthier tomes, heavily influenced by writers such as Flaubert and Maupassant, were critically admired, but met with little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsène Lupin story appeared. It was published as a series of stories in the magazine 'Je Sais Trout', starting on 15th July, 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of, and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories. On this success, he later moved to a beautiful country-side retreat in Étreat (in the Haute-Normandie region in north-western France), which today is a museum dedicated to the Arsène Lupin books. He died in Perpignan (the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France) on 6th November 1941, at the age of seventy-six.
