There are no specific names mentioned or photographic visuals provided in this work in order to protect the rights of privacy and the innocent. It is, however, a descriptive account of a generic specie of person who has long survived by his unique talent to annoy others for a lifetime.

Parents who are concerned about their child's weight are up against formidable adversaries. Super-sized portions of bad-for-your-kids foods are everywhere. Television, video games, and computer-based socializing are taking over where playgrounds and neighborhood backyards once predominated. Cash-strapped schools and overscheduled family lives are conspiring to keep kids from getting the physical activity and nutritious foods their bodies need. It's no surprise that children in America are getting fatter and unhealthier with each passing year. But, so too are many parents-a child's most influential role models. Family Fun and Fitness is Knute Keeling's plan to help you take back control of yo...
In this remarkable and engaging book, William LeoGrande offers the first comprehensive history of U.S. foreign policy toward Central America in the waning years of the Cold War. From the overthrow of the Somoza dynasty in Nicaragua and the outbreak of El Salvador's civil war in the late 1970s to the final regional peace settlements negotiated a decade later, he chronicles the dramatic struggles--in Washington and Central America--that shaped the region's destiny. For good or ill, LeoGrande argues, Central America's fate hinged on decisions that were subject to intense struggles among, and within, Congress, the CIA, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the White House--decisions over which Central Americans themselves had little influence. Like the domestic turmoil unleashed by Vietnam, he says, the struggle over Central America was so divisive that it damaged the fabric of democratic politics at home. It inflamed the tug-of-war between Congress and the executive branch over control of foreign policy and ultimately led to the Iran-contra affair, the nation's most serious political crisis since Watergate.
Recent concern with economic growth has led not only to a vast increase in the quantity and quality of statistics collected and published, but also to an upsurge of interest in the statistics of the past. As attention has turned more and more to the study of the comparative development of different countries, so a need has been felt for a collection of historical statistics comparing different nations. This work meets the need as far as the Americas is concerned. 'A landmark for the economic historian.It is seldom that a publication truly deserves the name of a pioneering book. This one does' English Historical Review 'No economic library should be without it' Economic Journal.
