Cutting for SignThe border between the United States and Mexico extends 1,951 miles. Among the people who live along it are a migrant laborer huddled in a makeshift camp, a Chicano cowpuncher, a Pima Indian who makes his living tracking drug smugglers across the desert, and the millions crowded along the border in Mexicali.

The border between the United States and Mexico extends 1,951 miles. Among the people who live along it are a migrant laborer huddled in a makeshift camp, a Chicano cowpuncher, a Pima Indian who makes his living tracking drug smugglers across the desert, and the millions crowded along the border in Mexicali. In this beautifully written, unerringly insightful book, William Langewiesche allows us to see this boundary in all its political, moral, and emotional complexity. Whether he is patrolling the border with officers of the U.S. Immigration Service or talking with the desperate men and women who cross it every day, Langewiesche is always engaged in what trackers call "cutting the sign" reading the marks that human beings have made on this contested land and decoding the meaning they hold for the rest of us. "Spellbinding. . . . The reportage is] high art . . . for Langewiesche painstakingly uncovers the connections between elusive clues as he searches out the border and its people."--Boston Globe

It's a perfect shoe rack for a small apartment!
The quality is good, and the shelf looks perfect. It also fits exactly how it should in my studio apartment!
A maintenance guy has put it all together and up within 45 min!
I'm very happy.

Exactly what I need for the RHIT exam
I have this book in electronic form from one of my college classes but it was always a nightmare to access! Even with lifetime access to it, I can no longer access it since class is over! After spending over $100 on the virtual version I didn’t want to spend too much on the paper version also, so this was perfect. Near perfect condition. Arrived very quickly. Great price. Plus- the person before me included some helpful (yet faint) answers for me!! Thanks for having this book available at an affordable price!

Good resource
I bought this to prepare for my RHIT exam, gives a good run down of most HIM topics but does not go in depth, repeat does not go in depth at times, but good for quick referencing and seeing how different topics relate. This should not be the only resource to prepare for test. as I said, does not go in depth on topics you need to know a lot about on exam. For example devotes one page to a topic that you could easily read a whole textbook about. For example, there is a chapter on reimbursement. You’re going to want to actually review your text book that is solely about reimbursement methodologies, but as I said a good general resource to give a refresher and maybe get a better understanding on how different HIM topics relate. At times presented better information than you could find using a google search.
