Hardback. Etat : Good. For H ctor and Lilia, pursuit of the American Dream became every parent's worst fear when their infant daughter vanished as they crossed from Mexico to the United States--now they must try to get her back. With great empathy and a keen awareness of current events, Michel Stone delivers a novel of surpassing sensitivity and heart. Young lovers H ctor and Lilia dreamed of a brighter future for their family in the United States. H ctor left Mexico first, to secure work and housing, but when Lilia, desperate to be with H ctor, impetuously crossed the border with their infant daughter, Alejandra, mother and child were separated. Alejandra disappeared. Now, four years later, the family has a chance to reunite, but the trauma of the past may well be permanent. Back in their sleepy hometown of Oaxaca, the couple enjoys a semblance of normal life, with a toddler son and another baby on the way. Then they receive an unexpected tip that might lead them to Alejandra, and both agree they must seize this chance, whatever the cost. Working increasingly illegal jobs to earn money for his journey north, H ctor seeks more information about his long-absent daughter. Meanwhile, a bedridden Lilia awaits the birth of their third child, but cannot keep herself from reliving the worst mistakes of her past. In luminous, compassionate prose, Michel Stone drops readers into the whirlwind of the contemporary immigrant experience, where a marriage is strained to the breaking point by the consequences of wanting more for the next generation.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. THE FIFTH INFLUENCE OR, THE DIALECTICS OF PLEASURE Th is book is about everything you ever wanted to know about pleasure, but did not know where to fi nd the answers. - Alexander Ovsich Ecclesiastes 3-12 and 3-13: 3I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; also that it is God s gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil . - 8-15 it says. And I commend enjoym- ent for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink, and enjoy himself, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of life which God gives him under the sun ; To my knowledge, only one psychological theory of motivational interactions has been put forward: Cabanac holds that pleasure is the common currency guaranteeing the trade-off necessary for achieving the ranking of concurrent motivations. In other words, in his view, organisms decide to commit to the activity that maximizes pleasure. - Patrick Anselme Th e reasons that Michel Cabanac gives for his views on pleasure are good reasons, because they are supported by arguments about evidence, and not simply opinions based upon introspection. Indeed, the main pleasure that I gained from this book came from reading about the very elegant experiments that Michel and his colleagues have conducted over the years. In this respect, I fi nd it hard to believe that other people's experience will be diff erent from mine. - David McFarland.…
