Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gringo Gulch is a spot in San Jose, Costa Rica, home of female sex workers who have male clients from abroad (from North America in particular). Rivers-Moore s work leads the way in a burgeoning scholarly initiative to explore global sex tourism based on long-term qualitative research. Her work on the gulch is populated not only by sex workers and their clients, but also by state agents and NGO workers. All of them, she argues, use sex tourism as a strategy for getting ahead. Rivers-Moore addresses central questions: why has Costa Rica (a middle-income country thought to be an exceptional success in Latin America) emerged as a major site of sex tourism? How do sex tourists and sex workers derive meaning from their experiences, in what way do they profit from their encounters with each other? And how has the neoliberal entrenchment of state services and provisions across Latin America affected the role of the nation-state in relation to sexuality? This book shifts the conventional analysis away from questions of whether third world women s participation in sexual exchanges with first world men in tourism economies are exploitative; it asks, instead, new questions about how something is gained by all parties involved (presenting opportunities for economic and social mobility in terms of class positioning for all). Audiences for the book will include anthropologists, sociologists, historians, geographers, as well as scholars in Latin American and Caribbean studies. "

Book excerpt: Sex work studies have seen an expansion in publications over the past decade, drawing together disciplines from across the social sciences, namely sociology, criminology and social policy. There has, however, been a tendency for research and writing to focus on the more obvious aspect of the sex industry - the visible elements of female street prostitution and those features which attract media attention such as the criminalised aspects of the sex trade. The sex industry is diverse in terms of its organisation, presentation, participants and how it is located in the broader context of globalisation and regulation; there is a need for publications which demonstrate this breadth. This book makes an outstanding contribution to the sociology of sex work through advancing theoretical, policy, methodological and empirical ideas as each chapter pushes the boundaries of a specific area by offering new and critical research as well as commentary.

Book excerpt: Recent work provides the basis for establishing a stratigraphic column in the Santa Rita Mountains of Santa Cruz and Pima Counties of southeastern Arizona. Thirteen formations of this column are here defined and one is revised. One new formation is a Precambrian granodiorite. Ten new formations are Mesozoic units that include plutonic, volcanic, and continental sedimentary rocks. The revised formation is the Upper Cretaceous Fort Crittenden Formation of Stoyanow (1949), dominantly a sedimentary unit. Two new formations are volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age. Many radiometric dates supplement the sparse fossil record in corroborating or redefining the ages that had been assigned to many units on the basis of their geologic relations and in establishing the ages of other units.
