Описание: A cruel and sadistic father beat his son with a whip from his early age through his teenage years. Anger, bitterness, and hatred grew as he grew. He developed a use for the gun, becoming proficient with speed and accuracy. He traveled west, meeting good people along the way who turned around his thinking about good against evil. He used his gun to help good people and law enforcement as he traveled through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and finally settled in Wyoming-the state he longed to see-and started a family. But he wasn't satisfied. With tireless energy, ingenuity, and the help of his family and good friends, he developed an empire that stretched from Wyoming to California.

Описание: Every fisherman/fisherwoman dreams of catching the trophy fish. They have to go to where the fish are; in this case, Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. Jack Thorne from Ohio buys a house in a remote town on the bank of this great lake. He finds this town economically depressed, and due to his compassionate nature, he decides to combine his fishing goal to an additional goal of improving the conditions of the town. On his arrival, he spots the huge flathead catfish meandering along the cliffs and tries desperately every method he can devise for more than eight years. And in this course of time, the catfish continued to grow to a record-breaking size. He dubbed him Ole Buford.

The transition from authoritarian to democratic government in Brazil unleashed profound changes in government and society that cannot be adequately understood from any single theoretical perspective. The great need, say Graham and Wilson, is a holistic vision of what occurred in Brazil, one that opens political and economic analysis to new vistas. This need is answered in The Political Economy of Brazil, a groundbreaking study of late twentieth-century Brazilian issues from a policy perspective.
The book was an outgrowth of a year-long policy research project undertaken jointly by the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, both at the University of Texas at Austin. In this book, several noted scholars focus on specific issues central to an understanding of the political and economic choices that were under debate in Brazil. Their findings reveal that for Brazil the break with the past—the authoritarian regime—could not be complete due to economic choices made in the 1960s and 1970s, and also the way in which economic resources committed at that time locked the government into a relatively limited number of options in balancing external and internal pressures.
These conclusions will be important for everyone working in Latin American and Third World development.
