This is a journey into the Chinese mafia of 20th century San Francisco. It's a story of dangerous trade, forbidden love, and shocking murder.As you read into the plot, the line between good and evil becomes ever so faint. It's difficult not to empathize with supposed criminals as you see things from their perspective, as you dive into their complicated motives and mixed feelings.From the first dangerous chase, to the final deadly chapter, this book will captivate and thrill you."If he fled with clean hands he would be branded a coward, his memory would be reviled, his brothers would call down the curse of his ancestors upon him through the ages and his soul would never be purged of torment- torment eternal.""He turned him over his back, tore open his blouse, and laid his ear close to his bosom. A half minute passed, then he rose. Dead as a mackerel."
Following a series of disasters, the last remnants of humanity are threatened by a fatal disease affecting pregnant women. Kevin Brady, an Irish sailor, travels to Norway and is recruited to work on the Gandreid Project, a plan for some people to escape the ravages of the disease by colonising a distant Earth-like planet, using an interstellar spaceship already in orbit. Kevin begins work under the cloud of being a murder suspect. He meets and falls in love withLaila, a mathematician involved in computing spacecraft orbits, whom he has already helped renunite with her abducted daughter, Freya. Despite acts of sabotage, engineers are launched to prepare the spaceship for the arrival of colonists. One of them is Laila's disgruntled ex-lover, who hatches a scheme to get Laila back. When Kevin returns to Bergen with an unexpected companion, he is appalled to discover that Laila and Freya have left the Earth. Furthermore, their spaceship has unexpectedly re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated.
While the world has undoubtedly been shrinking, at the same time it has grown more complex. The likelihood of culture clashes leading to outright conflict is high, perhaps higher than ever. As Andrea L. Smith convincingly argues in her new introduction to this classic work, certain questions are as valid today as in 1949, when Mirror for Man was first published. Can anthropology break down prejudices that exist between peoples and nations? Can knowledge of past human behavior help solve the world’s modern problems? What effect will American attitudes likely have on the future of the world?In Mirror for Man, Clyde Kluckhohn scrutinizes anthropology, showing how the discipline can contribute to the reconciliation of conflicting cultures. He questions age-old race theories, shows how people came to be as they are, and examines limitations in how human beings can be molded. Taking up one of the most vital questions in the post-World War II world, whether international order can be achieved by domination, Kluckhohn demonstrates that cultural clashes drive much of the world’s conflict, and shows how we can help resolve it if only we are willing to work for joint understanding.By interpreting human behavior, Kluckhohn reveals that anthropology can make a practical contribution through its predictive power in the realm of politics, social attitudes, and group psychology. Andrea L. Smith’s new introduction provides convincing evidence for the continuing importance of one of the earliest “public intellectuals.”
