Book Description
Using information on some 65,000 matches and more than 15,000 players, the records are given for every country in the world that has played some form of international cricket between 24 September 1844, the date of the first international match, and the 6 April 2014. Since the records found in various annuals and on the internet are restricted almost entirely to those countries that play Test cricket, a large gap in the published statistical information is filled, showing cricket as a truly global sport. The records cover highest and lowest team scores; individual batting, bowling, wicketkeeping and fielding performances; best wicket partnerships of 100 runs or more and most extras in an innings. Multi-innings, one-day and Twenty20 matches are treated separately for both men's and women's internationals. The statistical tables are supported by a text summarising the information provided and highlighting important achievements.

Book Description
State failure takes many forms. Somalia offers one extreme. The country's prolonged civil war led to the collapse of central authority, with state control devolving to warlord-led factions that competed for the spoils of local commerce, political power, and international aid. Malawi, on the other hand, is at the other end of the scale. During President Bingu's second term in office, the country's economy collapsed as a result of poor policies and Bingu's brand of personal politics. On the surface, Malawi's economy seemed largely stable; underneath, however, the polity was fractured and the economy broken. In between these two extremes of state failure are all manner of examples, many of which Mills explores in the fascinating and profoundly personal Why States Recover. Throughout he returns to his key questions: how do countries recover? What roles should both insiders and outsiders play to aid that process? Drawing on research in more than thirty countries, and incorporating interviews with a dozen leaders, Mills examines state failure and identifies instances of recovery in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. For anyone interested in the reasons behind states' failure, and remedies to ensure future economic stability, it is important reading.
