If you have read my other books you will know I have made the case better than any and that there are lots of good scholars who agree with me.

After finding 1,000 children living in a garbage dump in Managua, Andres was spearheading orphanages around the world—a shining example of someone living his passion. Andres was one of many people that smoothed out the challenging moments that came...

Quinceanera is the traditional Latin American coming-of-age ceremony and celebration for a girl when she turns fifteen years old. The Aztecs began celebrating Quinceanera all the way back in 500 B.C.

Express kidnapping is a new method of criminal restraint used by bands of sicarios in the service of mafia networks. In express kidnappings, the victim remains only a few hours in the hands of his or her captors. Generally, the kidnappings are executed by small groups of delinquents, composed of two or three individuals, who hold the victim captive for no longer than 48 hours. This is because they lack the infrastructure necessary for carrying out traditional kidnappings. The most alarming thing about express kidnapping is the profile of the potential victim; no longer are the wealthy the sole targets, but also the middle class.
