Doctors at War is a candid account of a trauma surgical team based, for a tour of duty, at a field hospital in Helmand, Afghanistan. Mark de Rond tells of the highs and lows of surgical life in hard-hitting detail, bringing to life a morally ambiguous world in which good people face impossible choices and in which routines designed to normalize experience have the unintended effect of highlighting war’s absurdity. With stories that are at once comical and tragic, de Rond captures the surreal experience of being a doctor at war.

裏社会は生き馬の目を抜く戦場である。一瞬の判断ミスや煮え切らない態度が命取りにつながる。逮捕されるならまだしも、恨みを買い、後ろからブスリとやられることもありえない話ではない。そこで土壇場での機転、前もって危険を回避する知恵、交渉で相手を丸め込む技術などが必要不可欠になってくる。「土壇場で弱いやつは使い物にならない」「交渉力が必要な時代になった」などと声高に叫ばれるようになったが、裏社会の住人にしてみれば、なにを今更というところだろう。 本書では、あまりに実用的な「裏」の交渉テクニックを紹介。※本商品は『裏のハローワーク「交渉・実践編」』(彩図社刊 草下シンヤ著ISBN:978-4-88392-496-3 192頁1,260円(税込))をオーディオ化したものです。(C)2005.Shinya Kusaka

Solutions...not theories. Political progress...not political posturing. Instead of the constant jockeying for political advantage, in What Works, author and columnist Cal Thomas focuses on what promotes the general welfare, regardless of which party or ideology gets the credit. Thomas probes and provides answers to questions like: Why must we constantly fight the same battles over and over? Why don't we consult the past and use common sense in order to see that what others discovered long ago still works today?

A obra traduz um alerta fundamental sobre a infiltração do crime organizado nos tecidos político, econômico e social do país, a confluir numa perigosa tendência de indistinção entre o Estado, o mercado e o crime. Por meio de uma narrativa objetiva e contundente, o autor faz um diagnóstico das causas pelas quais corremos o risco do crime organizado se apoderar do Estado brasileiro e lança bases para as discussões de um Projeto Nacional de Segurança Pública, um tema central da nossa democracia.
