It delves into these different aspects of living the Christian life, and being empowered by God and His grace to be all that He has called us to be.

The border regions of China, Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand are hotbeds of trade, migration, and smuggling. Opium and heroin, rubies and jade, endangered species, cars and women follow ancient trails across modern borders. The recent openning of borders has increased economic opportunity, but also spread drugs and AIDS. This book confronts these issues with a sophistication rarely found in similar collections. Most of the contributers are anthropologists with long research experience on the ground -- not economists who never leave the capital. There are many valuable chapters; to cite a few: David Feingold's witty exploration of the relationship of opium production to the trafficking of hill tribe girls, Andrew Walker's discussion of trading in Laos, Jean Berle on the role of Chinese Moslem traders, a Chinese biologists analysis of 'ecology without borders' and the animal trade, and Evans' useful introduction. This book is essential for both scholars and development experts (who may need a re-think), and will be re-read for its theoretical insights long after the particularities become dated. It also places current issues in historical context. A paperback would be welcome.

Beautifully written and superbly illustrated. The photos bring to mind those of Ansel Adams, but Schultes was working under infinitely more difficult conditions. This book is often hard to find - congrats to Amazon.com for making it available

when i finished reading this book i was so excited because of the message. the author shows me, through the main character (captain Owe), that the human being must have a goal in life and how much effort we need to reach it. we must do our best in order to get what we really want even we have barriers and tough moments. This book inspired me to write my own research paper for Literature (At the Univ)

This book really brought Jesus into perspective for me...if you want to learn about His deity, His humanity, and His very special Uniqueness, this is the book to read. It will change your life.

In the tradition of Dubos, McKeown, and Geoffrey Rose - but goes further and draws on recent data. By multiple authors. The early chapters make for exhilarating reading. "Producing Health, Consuming Health Care" by Evans and Stoddard in particular will be heavily cited for years to come. Later chapters, on implications for policy, come as a bit of a let down. Ultimately, the book is at its strongest in its account of what produces health but isn't as satisfying in its discussions of repercussions for practice.

I'm a native of this town (born there in 1923) and found Howard Bryan's book an outstanding and worthwhile account. I've recounted some of his tales to people in other states and countries, and encountered disbelief. It sounds too much like a B movie to be credible, but it's all true. In fact, it's understated.

My father had one of the original posters which is reproduced on the back of the jacket, and I can testify it is authentic.

Most people find it hard to believe such a tough town could stay that way for as long as Las Vegas NEW MEXICO did. The original Las Vegas was established a hundred years before Bugsy Seigal the mobster started his air-conditioned, neon-lit palace for city dudes, hundreds of miles away, in the Nevada desert.

The photographs are also historical artifacts of great value.
I recommend the book with great enthusiasm.

Glen L. Evans is the 20th/21st century Renaissance Man. He has, in the course of a long life, been a geologist, an archaeologist,a photographer,a writer,an angler, a constant observer of nature in all its aspects, and a storied teller of tales, some of them rather tall in nature. He pulls all these facets together in this book with exceptional insight and a gloriously personal writing style. Those of us who are privileged to know Glen personally have been enriched and marvelously entertained over the years by his astonishing storytelling gifts. Somehow, he has managed to transfer his oral tales to written form without losing the magic. Here are stories of his favorite mule, of birds, of Longhorns, of frogs, of people, of weather, of trees...the topics are varied and the reader's interest and involvement in the lore of Texas is guaranteed on every page.
Accompanying Glen's wonderful observations are exquisite illustrations done by his wife, Darla Evans, with great accuracy and delicacy. This is an unusual book, and one to be kept, cherished and re-read; it is also a great gift for a reading, thinking friend.

"J. Glenn Evans' new collection of poems is like an old friendship, the kind of verse you remember liking so much, but you haven't been able to see lately. 'It begins with such small things,' the comedy in a car phone, and the illusion of the man inside the car, the desperate pleasure of sleep, the banalities of growing old. As Mr. Evans says, 'None of us knows who is bleeding.' I think this is the way poetry should be, the way you remember it: subtle, intelligent, evocative in its simplicities, pleasurable in the remembered sounds of rhyme and rhythm, an old friend in poetry, the one you thought was out of town.

It is a great store of insight and intelligence. Great fun and good solid read. It looks like a winner.----Bart Baxter, award-winning poet.

To chat with him now today, even close and companioned friend I could see not the enormity of this writer's diverse expanse of life's exposure; unless now proffered to overview of these telling poetic texts prodigious, a geologic time - a random life now contemplative in frank disclosure.

This plain yet not so simple man then once a poor and callow youth, now older, wise and grayed with old hat covering a balding pate, pours forth his considered conviction in graphic and moralizing prose life's observations with a dearth of tongue in cheek sentiment.

The subjects of his deep philosophical offerings, so orderly alphabetical, decry the random complexity of his life-long detailed emphathetic critque. So look you not just on the lines of this versifier with bland dismissal. Listen to the deep meaning of these vivid sermons of life's past boutique.

These revealing thoughts philosophic dredge from mind's old and wondrous eye through his transforming dancing fingers over manual keyboards animation key pad, mouse to cable thence to printer the bits, bites of modern printer text for your random readings view, absorption, introspection and contemplation.

Break-back toil in young manhood, contrasting later stock broker's financial felicity. Memories gleaned from past childhood times, youthful days of happy innocence garnered o'er time theseinformative and varied musings of considered consequence to the poetry reader proffered, compliments of this bard's reflective beneficence.----William A. Murdoch, friend and retired government employee.
