Heading For The Scene Of The Crash

American anthropologists have long advocated cultural anthropology as a tool for cultural critique, yet seldom has that approach been employed in discussions of major events and cultural productions that impact the lives of tens of millions of Americans. This collection of essays aims to refashion cultural analysis into a hard-edged tool for the study of American society and culture, addressing topics including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, abortion, sports doping, and the Jonestown massacre-suicides. Grounded in the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, the essays advance an inquiry into the nature of culture in American society.

This is a story about faith, perseverance, determination, and will. It is a story about love, music, travel, family, and friends. It is a story about change, loss, and forced separation. The novel is a work of fiction weaving life experiences into a multi-dimensional story: Charles Pendleton, unable to be settled and determined to do more than merely exist, sacrifices the present in search of the future; Simone duPont seeks love, had the love of a father, was betrayed by the love of an impulse, but is devoted to keeping her love alive; Raul Montenegro, a man who finds his strength in helping others, seeks peace through acts of kindness and generosity; Napoleon Brice, a man of small stature and lofty dreams, achieves a moment of fame and leaves a legacy of pain and suffering. As a web of family and friends serve as constant reminders of stability and security the demons and memories of the past tug at the true calling of life—the challenge: to find the thing that is meaningful, hold on to it at all costs, and achieve the dream, the goal, and the true purpose of life.

This book is written for both plaintiffs' and defense attorneys.
