Stephen B. Coleman, Jr. je autorem, jehož bohaté životní zkušenosti prostupují jeho psaní. Ve svých dílech, která často zahrnují akční příběhy, sdílí svou filozofii, znalosti a vášeň pro lidi, život a dobrodružství. S vírou v bohem danou svobodnou vůli člověka konat dobro navzdory okolnostem a omezením přináší do svého psaní jedinečnou perspektivu. Coleman není akademickým učitelem, ale štědrým vypravěčem, který inspiruje čtenáře svým nadšením a moudrostí.
A former CIA agent and naval officer embarks on a daring mission to reclaim a spy ship from Havana, Cuba. Complications arise when his engineer and smuggler are arrested, jeopardizing the operation. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Mary, upset with his CIA involvement, visits Cuba as a tourist with her quirky friend Frances, leading them into unexpected trouble. Joe must navigate a blend of danger and humor as he races against time to rescue them while completing his mission.
Ireland appears to be in the throes of a remarkable process of social change. The purpose of this book is to systematically scrutinize the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the deceptively simple metaphor of the "Celtic Tiger." The standpoint of the book is that a more critical approach to the course of development being followed by the Republic is urgently required. The essays collected here set out to expose the fallacies that drive the fashionable rhetoric of Tigerhood. Four of these fallacies--that Ireland has cast off the chains of economic dependency, that everyone is benefiting from the economic recovery, that personal freedom and liberty are at an unprecedented level for all citizens, and that Ireland is also experiencing a period of strong cultural renaissance--are vigorously challenged.
