The David and Goliath story of ordinary people in El Salvador who rallied together with international allies to prevent a global mining corporation from poisoning the countrys main water source

At a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations--from Flint, Michigan, to the Standing Rock Reservation, to Didipio in the Philippines, to the Gualcarque River in Honduras--The Water Defenders tells the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won not one but two historic victories.

In the early 2000s, many people in El Salvador were at first excited by the prospect of jobs, progress, and prosperity that the Pacific Rim mining company promised. However, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon discovered that the river system supplying water to the majority of Salvadorans was in danger of catastrophic contamination. With a group of unlikely allies, local and global, they committed to stop the corporation and the destruction of their home.

Based on over a decade of research and their own role as international allies of the community groups in El Salvador, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh unspool this untold story--a tale replete with corporate greed, a transnational lawsuit at a secretive World Bank tribunal in Washington, violent threats, murders, and--surprisingly--victory. The husband-and-wife duo immerses the reader in the lives of the Salvadoran villagers, the journeys of the local activists who sought the truth about the effects of gold mining on the environment, and the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of the corporate mining executives and their lawyers. The Water Defenders demands that we examine our assumptions about progress and prosperity, while providing valuable lessons for those fighting against destructive corporations in the United States and across the world.

Описание:

In Thirteen, the third novel in international bestselling author Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn series, a juror sows reasonable doubt to ensure an innocent man is found guilty.

If you can't beat the system, be the system.


"A knockout."--Booklist (starred review)


It's the murder trial of the century--and Joshua Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house. He has done everything in his power to make sure the wrong man goes down for the crime. Because this time, the killer isn't on trial. He's on the jury.

"A terrific hook...more twists than a tornado... A genuine, read-in-one-sitting page-turner." --The Guardian

But there's someone on his tail. Defense lawyer and former conman Eddie Flynn doesn't believe that his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects that the real killer is closer than they think--but who would guess just how close?

Описание:

To hear liberals tell it, they are the most competent and compassionate people in America. They are constantly "fighting" to end poverty, provide universal health care, stop gun violence, and save the planet.


Yet despite all of this effort, liberals never seem to solve anything. Meanwhile, government keeps growing, freedom keeps shrinking, and the liberal elites keep getting rich off of the American taxpayer.


How can this be?


In A Conservative's Guide to American Liberalism: 30 Truths About American Liberals and Their Agenda, attorney and writer Gregg J. Cavanagh destroys the myth that liberalism is designed to benefit society as a whole, and instead exposes it for the parasitical and self-serving ideology that it is. In these pages, you will discover:


How the liberals' one true goal explains everything they say and everything they do
Why every liberal solution to every problem involves more government, less freedom, and higher taxes
Why liberals spend large amounts of their own money to acquire power, but rarely spend that same money to solve social problems
Why liberals must use deception and force to enact an agenda that they insist "the American people want"
Why liberals cloak themselves in American institutions, principles, and values, even as they do everything in their power to tear them down
If you want to understand American liberals and their agenda, this book is for you.

Описание: The Obsession is Se n Cavanagh's no-holds-barred account of his extraordinary, obsessive drive to dominate his sport. For the first time, we get up close and personal with the lowest ebbs and greatest highs of his glittering career as one of Gaelic football's era-defining players, and with the truth of what it takes to become a three-time All-Ireland and five-time All Star winner. For twenty years, Se n Cavanagh's relentless routine of train-play-repeat fed an insatiable quest for perfection and made him a permanent fixture in the Tyrone team. His fearless, uncompromising style led him to glory, but his obsession also took its toll on body and mind, and on those around him. As well as the highs that made it all worthwhile, there have been some shattering lows: the anguish and doubt of injury, hostility on and off the field of play, the despair at defeat in crucial games, and the nightmare of gossip hounding his family. In The Obsession, Se n Cavanagh opens up about the sacrifices and dedication needed to make it to the top. He takes us behind the scenes of the GAA: his controversial relationship with manager Mickey Harte, the brutal training regimes, the personal sacrifices and the tragedies that haunted him. He talks, too, of games won and lost, his iconic performance in Tyrone's victory against Kerry in the 2008 All-Ireland Final, the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship title win in February 2018 with Moy that capped an incredible career, the players and their rivalries, and his childhood during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Hard-hitting, provocative and compelling, The Obsession takes you inside the head of one of the most iconic and respected sportsmen of his time to reveal the competitive drive that made Se n Cavanagh a legend of the game and the man he is today.
