Fisheries are among the most globalized economic sectors in the world. Relying largely on wild resources and employing millions of people and feeding many millions more, fisheries provide a unique vantage point from which to view contemporary globalization, which is co-occurring with a major ecological revolution triggered by resource degradation and associated with the development of intensive aquaculture. Globalization is intensifying the export orientation and use of joint ventures between rich and poor countries in fisheries. International organizations such as the IMF are pressuring many debtor countries to exchange access to their fishery resources for access to foreign exchange, constraining their ability to limit external ownership and the export of resources, and threatening local fishery employment and food self-sufficiency. Changing Tides brings together contributions from researchers and community workers from 13 countries of the world. Juxtaposing academic case studies with accounts from activists and fisheries workers, this book points the ways in which globalization and associated resource degradation, privatization and the concentration of ownership and control in fisheries are jeopardizing the lives and livelihoods of women fish workers and their families.

New York Times bestselling author Yaeger tells the electrifying story of the game that broke down the last racial division in college football.

Why the NBC Today Show, Seattle Times, Denver Post, Boulder Camera, Longmont Times, Time magazine, and many others find this man's story to be astounding. Hossca Harrison in his own words writes, this book is not about phenomena, although phenomena are part of the story. This book tells about an emotional journey between life and death that begins in Central America and ends in England. It encompasses my journey through two near-death experiences over an eleven-year period. This book is not about death, although death is part of the story. Nor is this book about healing, although healing is a part of the story. My life may seem full of pain and suffering. Quite the contrary, it has been filled with experiences beyond the conscious conception of many. I have had the opportunity to experience life beyond the dreams many people hold. My life's story is not for the causal reader. This story is for those who know there is much more to life than meets the eye. My journey involves experiencing life beyond traditional beliefs - beyond traditional ways of thinking, creating, and healing. If someone had come to me in December of 1981 and forewarned me that before December ended, my life would end and begin again, that I would give up everything I thought to be true, including my business, my home, and my way of life, I would not have believed it possible. I could not believe it. My mind was very much entrenched in the illusions we make for ourselves in this reality. My mind could not have dealt with the future I was about to embark upon. Thankfully, no one told me what my future held. If someone had and I had believed it, I would have hidden under the biggest rock I could find.

A "New York Times"-bestselling author shares how to turn the tide of our nation's present destructive course through civic action and fervent prayer.

'Against the Tide' is a story told with honesty and great emotion; the narrative of a life in which tragedy and good fortune succeeded each other with bewildering speed. After training as a doctor, Noël Browne experienced at first hand the devastating ravages of tuberculosis both personally and professionally. Drawn to politics, he was appointed Minister for Health on his first day in the Dáil at the age of thirty three. His single-minded campaign for reform of the health system encountered the strenuous opposition of both the Catholic Church and the medical establishment. Abandoned by his party colleagues, he embarked on a stormy political career over the following thirty years. He was idolised by his supporters; demonised by those who opposed him. 'Against the Tide' was an instant bestseller on its publication in 1986. It has become a classic political memoir - subjective, passionate, controversial and beautifully written.
