Book Description
Alex Savage is an asset. He's been an asset all of his life, usually carrying out jobs for the British government. Jobs that they ultimately want to deny responsibility for. A former SAS corporal, and one-time operator for the Firm, Alex is now burnt out, jaded, with a whole truckload of baggage, and he doesn't care what he does or who he kills for money. For the last few years, Alex has branched out into the private sector, where the pay is more lucrative, and the risks are less. When Alex carries out the audacious assassination of a man in a French prison, it brings his skills to the attention of a Parisian gangster who wants him to execute the daughter of the director of the French security service. The gangster is prepared to pay a fistful of Euros for it. It all seems like an easy way to make money, until the French security service demand that he carry out a job for them at the same time. It's not the first time Alex has faced a conflict of interests.And even with his girlfriend planning a trip to see him, Alex begins to realize that there isn't much love in the city of Paris.

Book Description
The Euro in the 21st Century clarifies the perception of the euro and empirically demonstrates that the euro has become a true common currency and the Eurozone a true optimal currency area, presenting, in turn, a model to imitate. In order to demonstrate this, this study analyzes the economic and monetary requirements and policies required to introduce a common currency as well as the theoretical underpinnings of both the European integration process and the historical economic, monetary, political, and social circumstances that favoured the creation of the economic and monetary union. Furthermore, this book sheds light on how the current economic and monetary circumstances are affecting the euro project through and analysis of three intertwined issues. It studies how the economic chaos and financial uproar, which has plagued the Eurozone and world economy since 2008, has affected the single-currency regime as well as the current image of the euro worldwide. Moreover it summarizes the lesson to be learnt from what can be considered 'the first euro crisis'. Finally, it thoroughly analyzes the behaviour of the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund during this crisis. This book draws on and contributes to several bodies of literature within Political Economy, Economics, and International Relations and is particularly relevant at this time given that the current unfolding economic imbalances are causing some Eurozone Member States to rethink their economic and political views concerning the euro.

Book Description
When Jenny Longworth moves from the U.S. to Switzerland to marry David Perry a former lover, longtime friend and recent widower she underestimates the problems inherent in the new life she has chosen. Dealing with a new country, new culture and new language poses unanticipated difficulties, and Davids continuing grief over the loss of his first wife to cancer weakens Jennys self-confidence in her new role. Struggling to find her place, Jenny discovers that all was not as it seemed in Davids first marriage. His late French wife, the elegant and vivacious Sandrine, had a secret she withheld from her family. Jenny ultimately uncovers the truth, but must then decide how, and even whether, it should come to light. In this sequel to If You Needed Me, author Lee Lowry continues her tale of mid-life love and second marriage with a searingly honest portrayal of grief, betrayal, and the power of forgiveness. Praise for Judge Not Lee Lowry beautifully expresses the vulnerabilities and insecurities that so often surface when were in love. Her characters are rich and complex. Judge Not is one of those rare books that I couldnt put down, but at the same time didnt want to end. Heather Bruce, artist, Provincetown, MA Is love really more comfortable the second time around? Lee Lowry continues to draw wonderfully intricate portraits of people facing the very real challenges of late love, second marriage, and lifes unexpected turns. In Judge Not, love is certainly wonderful, but addressing those challenges often feels like stepping gingerly through a minefield of triggered vulnerabilities, wounded feelings, and divided loyalties. Carol Deanow, Professor Emerita, School of Social Work, Salem State University, Salem, MA Judge Not is about wishes granted and the price that must be paid. Jenny Longworth has just married a widower whom she has always loved, but with him come angry adult children, life in a new country, and constant reminders of his first wife. Jennys struggles to navigate this ever-challenging dynamic make this a compelling narrative. I found myself rooting out loud for her. Kay Harrold, Management Consultant, Yoga Teacher, Asheville, NC Lee Lowry writes with honesty about human frailty while leaving the reader feeling empathy for all the characters. She also captures detail so well that, despite my Harvard degree in French Literature, I identified completely with the protagonists sometimes funny, sometimes traumatic struggle with French.

Book Description
How did an obscure tribal sport from precolonial Hawaii—one that was nearly eliminated by Christian missionaries—jump oceans to California and Australia? And how did it become such a worldwide passion, even in places where the surf may be excellent but the society is highly conservative or superstitious about the sea? In Sweetness and Blood—a brilliantly written travel adventure—journalist (and surfer) Michael Scott Moore visits unlikely surfing destinations—Israel and the Gaza Strip, West Africa, Great Britain, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Cuba, and Morocco—to find out. Whether he is connecting eccentric surf legend Doc Paskowitz to the Arab-Israeli conflict, trying to deconstruct the terrorist bombing in a nightclub in Bali, or being chased by the German police while surfing a river break in Berlin, Moore masterfully weaves together politics, culture, history, and surfing to create a book like no other.

Book Description
The post-Cold War era has been difficult for Japan. A country once heralded for evolving a superior form of capitalism and seemingly ready to surpass the United States as the world’s largest economy lost its way in the early 1990s. The bursting of the bubble in 1991 ushered in a period of political and economic uncertainty that has lasted for over two decades. There were hopes that the triple catastrophe of March 11, 2011—a massive earthquake, tsunami, and accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant—would break Japan out of its torpor and spur the country to embrace change that would restart the growth and optimism of the go-go years. But several years later, Japan is still waiting for needed transformation, and Brad Glosserman concludes that the fact that even disaster has not spurred radical enough reform reveals something about Japan's political system and Japanese society. Glosserman explains why Japan has not and will not change, concluding that Japanese horizons are shrinking and that the Japanese public has given up the bold ambitions of previous generations and its current leadership. This is a critical insight into contemporary Japan and one that should shape our thinking about this vital country.
