    For 15 years, author Stan Brock lived and worked in the savannas and rain forest of British Guiana, South America. Maturing among the Wapishana and other Amerindian tribes, Brock lived with the pain and suffering created by isolation from medical care. He witnessed the near devastation of whole tribes by what would have been simple or minor illnesses to a less primative people. When he left South America to co-star in the television series Wild Kingdom, he vowed to find a way to deliver basic medical aid to people in the world's inaccessible regions. Remote Area Medical (www.ramusa.org) was founded in 1985 and years of research and planning yielded a vast, carefully developed network of men and women who make RAM a highly mobile, remarkably efficient relief force. Volunteers are doctors, nurses, technicians, and veterinarians who go on expeditions at their own expense and treat hundreds of patients a day under some of the worst conditions possible. Volunteers have provided general medical, surgical, eye, dental, and veterinary care to tens of thousands of needy people and their animals, with 60 percent of the expeditions serving rural America. In this exciting narrative, author Stan Brock tells the fascinating origin of Remote Area Medical, and of his life on the savannas and in the rain forest of South America. ungekürzt.

    In the first of the three volumes of his projected comprehensive narrative history of the role of law in America from the colonial years through the twentieth century, G. Edward White takes up the central themes of American legal history from the earliest European settlements through the Civil War. Included in the coverage of this volume are the interactions between European and Amerindian legal systems in the years of colonial settlement; the crucial role of Anglo-American theories of sovereignty and imperial governance in facilitating the separation of the American colonies from the British Empire in the late eighteenth century; the American "experiment" with federated republican constitutionalism in the founding period; the major importance of agricultural householding, in the form of slave plantations as well as farms featuring wage labor, in helping to shape the development of American law in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the emergence of the Supreme Court of the United States as an authoritative force in American law and politics in the early nineteenth century; the interactions between law, westward expansion, and transformative developments in transportation and communication in the antebellum years; the contributions of American legal institutions to the dissolution of the Union of American states in the three decades after 1830; and the often-overlooked legal history of the Confederacy and Union governments during the Civil War. White incorporates recent scholarship in anthropology, ethnography, and economic, political, intellectual and legal history to produce a narrative that is both revisionist and accessible, taking up the familiar topics of race, gender, slavery, and the treatment of native Americans from fresh perspectives. Along the way he provides a compelling case for why law can be seen as the key to understanding the development of American life as we know it.

    Cuba is more than just an exploration of culture, tourism, and people. It's actually an excellent place to visit when it comes to historical significance from past to present, for generations to come. For instance, Cuban society is rich in influences, although Cuban customs greatly vary, which is dependent on certain cultural influences. This country is in fact located in the stunning Caribbean that comprises the mainland of Cuba called Isla de la Juventud, along with other archipelagos. Havana is actually the capital of Cuba and is known to be the largest city. On the nearby islands, you will see the Caicos Islands, Turks, and Bahamas on the northeastern part while the US is seen from the northern part of Cuba. Haiti is on the southeastern part, Jamaica and Cayman Islands on the south, and Mexico to the west. The country was also dwelled in by Amerindian clans prior to Christopher Columbus' landing in 1492. Yet, Cuba continued to serve as a settlement for Spaniards until the onset of 1898's Spanish-American War. Consequently, it achieved "nominal independence" as a US colony in the year 1902. The flimsy state suffered radical politics as well as social conflict despite the efforts of the people to strengthen their democratic system. Hence, Cuba was run by Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship in 1952. Up to date, with the increasing popularity of this tourist destination in the beautiful island of the Caribbean, Cuba strives to offer a great relaxation and a vacation paradise to those who want to fulfill an ultimate escapade with the entire family. For people who love to explore the beauty of the Caribbean peninsula, this is the best place to visit for an unforgettable holiday experience. In terms of economy, Cubans actually enjoy a stable economic status as of today due to the growing popularity of the island to local and foreign visitors. Also, the universal healthcare system of Cuba has been considered by many as an absolute triumph. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sangita Chauhan.
