La guerra biológica como opción de una guerra física indirecta se puede constituir en un vector de búsqueda por la hegemonía mundial, porque esta potencialidad solo sería una prerrogativa de aquellos países que disponen de infraestructura en recursos materiales y humanos, de un nivel avanzado en ciencia y tecnología con capacidades para crear, mantener, diseminar, controlar y erradicar agentes biológicos.Las capacidades fundamentales y operacionales de un accionar biológico, en realidad estarían orientadas para generar en cada país tres efectos estratégicos, el sometimiento de sus economías, el quebrantamiento de su ordenamiento social y la politización de la pandemia.

The cowboy refusing to mourn. The city girl in a strange predicament. The scoundrel that thinks fiancés come with a price tag. Never, ever date a client. That's what I keep telling myself. Until Terence Daniels walks into my office. Fine. I caved. Biggest mistake of my life. Next thing I know I'm fleeing Louisiana, hunkering down with my best friend in Dallas. I'm starving, terrified, so confused, and I'm thinking...things just cannot get any worse. Until Kate's car breaks down outside this bar that looks like their patrons kill women with sticks. We have no choice but to go inside. What I find in there is nothing that I would expect. What unfolds in the coming weeks are more mistakes. Better ones. And then one that I'll forever call my favorite mistake. *** After the day I've had, I'd sooner eat my boot than cook something. My brother Zack agrees, so we go to this hillbilly bar, where we keep a tab. One cranky woman and her sidekick show up, looking like lawyers among us cowboys, and we ask if we can help. The cranky one thinks we're trying to steal her car, but the other one softens. All is fine and dandy until she hits us with something that would shock a groundhog back into his burrow until hell freezes over. The look in her eyes is what gets me. Fear. I can't stand that in a woman. Especially this one, with the tough exterior, making out like she's fine when inside she's a crumbling mess. Never figured she'd turn things around like she does. Never figured I'd be the one to help her put it all back together. Never figured she'd see right through me yet show me the way in a way that nobody else has. ...and for the life of me, I never figured that she'd inadvertently bring so much danger to the ranch.

As the world begins to shut down in the face of a pandemic, Ian - a well-worn yoga teacher and Zen student - wavers as he stands at the precipice of his life, attempting to accept the gift of self-examination while burying the pieces of his painful past. In Waiting Impatiently by Andrew H. Housley, we experience the birth and process of self-transformation found through the catalyst of sorrow and lost love. Through Ian's journey, we are offered the uniquely poignant perspective of a man's internal struggle with Self. In a desperate moment, he arrives at the Monastery, a place where time stands still.

My god, if the glimpses I've had of your life style in the past is any guide, dear brother, I have a good idea how many women you manage to 'fit in'.

In this story collection, we meet ordinary people who grapple with extraordinary challenges-a precarious balance between the love of life, the inevitability of death and the connection between humans and nature. Some tales hover between reality and fantasy, while others make a comment about customs and tradition, social prejudice, altruism and kindness, ambitions and failures, and failures resulting in transformation. The stories come alive with characters of Indian descent, their American friends, and people living all around the globe.¿
