Описание:
For French criminologists and colonialists of the mid-nineteenth century, the penal colonies of Guiana and New Caledonia seemed to satisfy two needs, namely, to incarcerate a growing number of criminals and to supply manpower for these developing colonies. But were these two goals not contradictory? Was the primary purpose of the penal colonies to punish or to colonize? In the prisons, inmates found means of subversion, guards resisted militaristic discipline, and camp commanders fought physicians for authority. Back in the metropole, journalistic expos?s catered to the public’s fascination with the penal colonies’ horror and exoticism.
An understanding of modern France is not complete without an examination of this institution, which existed for more than a century and imprisoned more than one hundred thousand people. Stephen A. Toth invites readers to experience the prisons firsthand. Through a careful analysis of criminal case files, administrative records, and prisoner biographies, Toth reconstructs life in the penal colonies and examines how the social sciences, tropical medicine, and sensational journalism evaluated and exploited the inmates’ experiences. In exploring the disjuncture between the real and the imagined, he moves beyond mythic characterizations of the penal colonies to reveal how power, discipline, and punishment were construed and enforced in these prison outposts.

Описание: PERFECT BRAIN FITNESS HAPPY FUN GIFT FOR SENIORS & WORD PUZZLE LOVERS Make your mind young, agile, vibrant & powerful Live life to the fullest Have fun Outstanding publication in general adult puzzles Thousands of challenging & entertaining puzzles Increase your brain's effective IQ with daily adult puzzle solving. Your IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is considered the leading determinant of your financial and personal success. Increase your IQ for success in professional and personal life. Over 2000 fascinating logic, language, math & picture puzzles The average God-given IQ of an adult is 150. The average effective (day-to-day) IQ is a mere 100-110. Medical science cannot yet increase the God-given IQ. However, we can increase the daily effective IQ by various mental activities chief among them puzzle solving. Put a puzzle in front of a child and watch what happens. It's amazing, really. With no explanation or modeling, the child will simply get to work, taking the puzzle apart and putting it back together piece by piece. Children are like this. They run, they jump, they seek out challenges and new experiences, and teach themselves by being playful and curious. At some point though, it's hard to say exactly when we stop playing. We exercise our bodies and our minds only when we have to, focusing on the results and dreading the process. I created this book of brain puzzles to help adults return to that state of mind we generally associate with the very young: a place where learning is accomplished in a spirit of play, recreation, and adventure. I created this book because I believe that puzzles of all kinds, whether crosswords, anagrams, or Sudoku puzzles, can remind us to be curious and to see challenges as exciting rather than daunting. Though I've written many brain puzzles for children, this is specifically a book for those of us ages 18 and up. It's a book for the student seeking to improve his English or Math skills; as well as a book for the teacher trying to find new ways to connect her students with the material, or simply for the passenger on the bus; and anyone else who seeks entertaining ways to keep the mind moving and fit.After all, exercise isn't just about jumping jacks and free-weights. Both our bodies and our minds need and love exercise. Contrary to popular belief our brains are capable of growth (effective IQ) and change throughout our entire lives. It's easy to underestimate our minds, but so long as we are open to life-long learning as adults, our minds will continue to grow with us. Much has been made of the health benefits of doing brain puzzles. It's true that many studies have shown that individuals who regularly do crosswords and similar activities have improved memory, improved daily functioning, and less memory loss at advanced ages, as well as the delayed onset and reduced risk of conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease. That's all wonderful and is a large part of why I believe brain puzzles are so important, but people have been doing crosswords for far longer than doctors have been prescribing them. The reason for this is simple. We find them enjoyable. My hope for all those who read this book is foremost that you achieve your educational goals, whether you're trying to improve your spelling by decoding anagrams; sharpen your math skills with multiple operation problems; or hone your sense of detail and analysis by finding the difference between two images in a picture puzzle.

Описание: Dead Secrets: A Jack Mango Murder Mystery ---The best way to keep a secret is to make it a dead secret. Jack Mango thought life couldn't get much better as a respected detective in the enigmatic laboratory town of Los Alamos, New Mexico. His life changes drastically when shot while protecting the governor from an assassin's bullet. He recovers, only to have his wife die of cancer soon after. Unable to cope, he moves his family to the central Pacific coast of California, an area of fond memories from his Army days, hoping to start anew. And, harboring a secret desire to reconnect with an old flame he rejected, bound by duty and honor to return home to his fianc . Mango's first case three days into his new job as Police Chief, in the idyllic seaside town of Serrano, sets the tone. Psychiatrist Billy Morton is accused and convicted of violating his adopted daughter, Clare. Four years later, Billy is found dead on the beach shortly after being paroled from prison. Later that morning, his wife's lover, Harry Henderson, is found dead near a beached panga; the boat believed to have been transporting four thousand pounds of marijuana, off-loaded during the night. Billy's estranged wife, Stella, ostracized by the community for her implied collusion in Clare's abuse, takes to the hills. Clare is on the lam after threatening to kill Harry, after he terminates her job for clashing publicly with Billy at the local coffee bar. She meets up with the mysterious panga boat captain and the chase is on Chief Jack Mango and his small, eclectic team of officers are thrust into a frustrating and frantic pursuit to find the suspects before they kill again. It doesn't help that his love life is a shambles, what with juggling a high profile career, a murder investigation, and haunting demons of love, death, and redemption.
