The virtues listed above are attractive to law enforcement agencies, and people who demonstrate these virtues are those who law enforcement agencies and all other branches of public service want. Vichio suggests a list of core virtues that law enforcement personnel should possess (Fitch, 2014). They include: Prudence. Officers with the ability to decide the correct action to take when rules and policy are not present. Trust. Officers with the ability to be relied upon for truth. This must exist between officers and civilians, officers themselves, and officers and the courts. Effacement of self-interests. Officers who do not abuse their position of authority or gain favouritisms due to their position. Courage. Officers who place themselves in danger intellectually and physically. Officers who are not afraid of testifying in court and/or making arrests in tense and intimidating settings. Intellectual honesty. Officers who act while weighing what they learned in training and whose actions reflect their training and their academic abilities.
Garden & Gun, a bimonthly magazine which is published in Charleston, South Carolina, is the unlikeliest magazine ever to become successful, win awards, and achieve a national circulation of 700, 000. In fact, it is the oddest concept to take root since the British comedy team of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore invented a restaurant called "The Frog and Peach" ("You never know when you're going to want a bloody great frog and a really smashing peach") and goddamn if it didn't take off in the real world. But I digress. Garden & Gun is a lifestyle magazine which, in its words, covers "the best of the South, including the sporting culture, the food, the music, the art, the literature, the people and their ideas. " One reason it has succeeded is that it employs only first-rate talent. Its previous Editor in Chief was Sid Evans, who was head honcho at Field & Stream, and its current Main Man is David DiBenedetto, who was a Features Editor at F&S. Eddie Nickens is a regular contributor, and I get in a lick once in a while.
Esas personas que viajaban al monte para curarse en las termas y balnearios como el que dirige la familia de Attua. Es esta, sin lugar a dudas, una novela romántica donde el amor de ambos protagonista mueve los hilos de la historia en la que también hay aventuras, turismo y muchos personajes más que os harán vibrar gracias al estilo de la autora que construye una novela estupenda en todos los sentidos. Luz Gabás no es una desconocida para mí. Descubrí sus historias con Palmeras en la nieve, libro que me encantó; continué con Regreso a tu piel, libro que no me gustó excesivamente; y he vuelto a sus letras con esta historia que ya habréis notado lo mucho que me ha gustado. En definitiva, Como fuego en el hielo de Luz Gabás es una novela con la que tenía alguna duda debido al romanticismo que la propia autora confesó que destilaba su libro. ¡Pero nada de eso! Hay amor, como en casi todas las novelas, pero es un libro de aventuras y personajes, unos protagonistas que seguro que os enamoran como a mi.
