Book excerpt: PORTOLINA Hells Kitchen Or Shangri-La? is a riddle, mystery, wrapped up in an enigma, about former Chief of Homicide in San Fernando Valley, California, John Mirabella, and his wife, Theresa (Teri), who believe they found their ideal town for retirement in the San Bernardino/San Gabriel area in California. On their first visit to the town of Portolina, they find a very unfriendly Sheriff and several inhospitable citizens of the town who, to put it mildly, urge the visitors to leave. John Mirabella, however, remains unfazed by the outlandish treatment he and his wife received on their initial visit. They return to Portolina only to experience an attempt on their lives. John, one of the heroes in my book ROMULUS AND REMUS The Imperfect Murders, enlists the help of the other hero in the aforementioned book, Ernie Barnes, Private Investigator, as both embark on a suspenseful and most unusual journey to discover the reasons for the behavior of the Portolinians in their attempt to hide whatever alleged crime(s) they have been committing. Eventually, they bring a mutual friend, FBI Agent Augie Brandt, and his brother State Trooper Gary Brandt into the case. The lawmen work on theories involving murder, drug marketing, a recent Brinks armored vehicle robbery, racketeering, bank robbery, money laundering, kidnapping and rape. Those theories are just a few of the possibilities devised by the four experienced investigators, who are frustrated as they try to avoid facing a brick wall in following each theory to its conclusion. The final chapter, Chapter 35, presents quite a surprising revelation as it begins with a raid on the community and ends with the answer to the question, Is Portolina a Hells Kitchen or a Shangri-La?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alberto is the main personage in the novel, and he represents 75 percent of the authors life. He is a young man born from a very poor family. Even so, he is able to get two degrees: a masters degree in French language and literature and an associate degree in business administration. He started to attend the Orintale of Naples in Italy when he was twenty-two years old. In order to earn enough money to pay board, lodging, and the expenses to attend courses at the university, he started to work in a private college. He remained in Naples for two years. Here, while he was studying, he founded, together with other students, a club and a magazine that started a struggle against the magnates of the university for the purpose of improving the teaching methodology. When the struggle moved from the schools to the parliament, Alberto decided to quit Italy and went to France. He spent one year in Lyon as tutor in the Franco Canadienne college, and three years in Nice, teaching Italian language and culture in the Lycee Massena, Ecole Normale, Dante Alighieri Society, and the Chamber of Commerce. While he was teaching, he also attended courses of French language and literature at the university and prepared himself for the exams in the Orientale of Naples. During summer months he went to Spain in order to improve his knowledge of Spanish language and literature, attending courses at the University of Saragoza in Jaca. In France, like in Spain, he was admired and appreciated as a young man able to resolve any intricate matter easily and creatively. He wanted to live his life intensely, without ceasing to love his girlfriend with all his heart. He had experienced several loving adventures that made him fall into a deep moral and spiritual crisis. Alberto said, I do not know anymore who I am. I act against my own principles. Influenced by the French culture, he understood that those principles he called his own were, indeed, not his but only principles accepted by him or transmitted to him by his family, his school, his church, his town. Living in Paris, Alberto understood that the only valid principles in our lives were those that we created or accepted after careful consideration. From now on Alberto will work hard to create his own principles and to resolve his moral and spiritual crisis. In order to succeed, said Alberto, it is not enough to say it, you must do it. Being equipped with a strong dose of determination, self-assurance, and a lot of energy, he began to discard all those principles in which he did not believe anymore, retaining those in which he still believed, and at the same time created new ones. He said, There are some principles that must be saved because they represent the foundation and the understanding of our Western civilization. By now Alberto was aware of being what he always wanted to become: a young man hungry to accomplish what he had initiated. After three years of separation, Alberto went to the United States in order to see Enza, his girlfriend, and he decided to marry her. He returned to Nizza with Enza. They had a first son. They returned to Italy. He completed his studies, getting a masters degree in French language and literature, and went to live in the United States. Needing to support his family, he started to work in a bank, and he remained there for thirty-five years, spending the first two achieveing an associate degree in business administration. The author tells the life of Alberto from infancy to youth. In the entire novel there are many descriptions of landscapes, in particular of his native town. Alberto directly or indirectly lived the horrors of the two world wars: the occupation of his town first by the Germans, then by the Allies. He visited Cassino, a city that had been razed to the ground by the bombers during the Second World War. Alberto also lived through the Fascist period and the political awakening of the great masses and their revolutionary agitations for the occupa

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ambitious 15-year agenda known as the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by all members of the United Nations, contains a pledge that “no one will be left behind.” This book aims to translate that bold global commitment into an action-oriented mindset, focused on supporting specific people in specific places who are facing specific problems. In this volume, experts from Japan, the United States, Canada, and other countries address a range of challenges faced by people across the globe, including women and girls, smallholder farmers, migrants, and those living in extreme poverty. These are many of the people whose lives are at the heart of the aspirations embedded in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. They are the people most in need of such essentials as health care, quality education, decent work, affordable energy, and a clean environment. This book is the result of a collaboration between the Japan International Cooperation Research Institute and the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings. It offers practical ideas for transforming “leave no one behind” from a slogan into effective actions which, if implemented, will make it possible to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. In addition to policymakers in the field of sustainable development, this book will be of interest to academics, activists, and leaders of international organizations and civil society groups who work every day to promote inclusive economic and social progress.
