Book Description
Die Untersuchungsperiode schließt den Zeitraum vom Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zu den 1960er Jahren ein, somit beide Weltkriege und die Depression der 1930er Jahre. Erstmals wird der Versuch unternommen, die Vorkriegs-, Zwischenkriegs- und Nachkriegsjahre durch konsistente Langzeitreihen für Produktion, Beschäftigung und damit zusammenhängenden Faktoren wie Löhnen und Kapitaleinsatz abzudecken und dabei Indikatoren für alle bedeutenden Industriezweige der Niederlande vorzulegen. Die Wachstumsleistung der niederländischen Industrie im 20. Jahrhundert wird unter Verwendung des Instrumentariums der international-vergleichenden Produktivitätsmessung mit derjenigen Belgiens, Großbritanniens und Deutschlands in Beziehung gesetzt. Zusammen mit der komparativen Perspektive ermöglichen nicht zuletzt die neuen Wirtschaftsdaten, die hier erstmalig präsentiert werden, eine neuartige Präsentation der Wirkungen sowohl der Weltwirtschaftskrise als auch der beiden Weltkriege auf die niederländische Wirtschaft.

Book Description
From a New York Times bestseller, a commander of a legion of misfits takes control of an alien planet in this sci-fi comedy. You can’t mistake just anyone for a Phule. When the planet Zenobia is invaded, Captain Willard Phule is made their military advisor. The first priority for Phule’s Company: staying out from underfoot of the peaceful, dinosaur-like Zenobians . . . But, unbeknownst to the Zenobians, they’re getting two Phules for the price of one. A robot double of Phule appears out of nowhere. And only the real Phule knows who the real Phule is . . . Praise for the Phule’s Company series: “A winning story . . . part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer.” —Publishers Weekly “Madcap . . . a welcome sendup of military sf.” —Booklist “Light without being frivolous, and displays Asprin’s considerable expertise about fencing and things military, especially leadership.” —Chicago Sun-Times “Reminiscent of ‘M*A*S*H.’” —Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine

Book Description
“Pamela Burford’s Twice Burned is wonderfully sexy and exciting!” — New York Times best-selling author Anne Stuart “Pamela Burford has a winner in Twice Burned, a perfect blend of sizzling romance and chilling suspense that will find its way to every keeper shelf!” — RT Book Reviews (4½ stars) “Twice Burned is a superb romantic suspense novel.” — Affaire de Coeur (5 stars) “I couldn't have asked for a better ending! A sensational suspense! So well written, you can feel the tension! Pamela Burford's Twice Burned is a fabulous romantic suspense that is well worth reading! Twice Burned sizzles with romance and dramatic suspense!” — The Literary Times ◊ “Wolf’s eyes, Zara thought, watching the man weave through the crowded terminal at Kennedy Airport, that feral golden brown gaze riveted to her.” Zara Sutcliffe has always been more confident and adventurous than her shy twin sister, Emma. But nothing in Zara’s past has prepared her for FBI Agent Logan Pierce... if he really is an agent, that is. She can only take his word for that after he kidnaps her and keeps her a virtual prisoner in a New York City warehouse. He calls it a safe house, but she feels anything but safe when he turns those intense amber eyes on her. The only thing she’s certain of is that her enigmatic bodyguard is too sexy for her own good. What does he know that she doesn’t? Plenty, as it turns out. Such as his own close connection to a criminal with no conscience who’s a threat not just to Zara, but to her sister and mother as well. And all because of a bizarre, decades-old movie prop that someone wants badly enough to kill for. Twice Burned, an RT Reviewers Choice Best Book Awards finalist, is book two in a two-part romantic suspense miniseries by identical-twin authors Pamela Burford and Patricia Ryan. Each book is a stand-alone romance novel that can be read and enjoyed on its own. The suspense story line begins in Good to Be Bad, by Patricia Ryan, and concludes in Twice Burned.

Book Description
RRRAWRRR!!! ZZZZZZTTTTT!!! ZZZZAAAAPPPPP!!! The robots of the 50s and 60s science fiction movies and novels captured our hearts and our imaginations. Their clunky, bulbous bodies with their clear domed heads, whirling antennae, and randomly flashing lights staggered ponderously across the screen and page and into our souls—whether as a constant companion or as the invading army threatening to exterminate our world. We can never return to that innocent time, where the robot overlords could be identified by their burning red eyes or our trusty robot sidekick would warn us instantly of danger—or can we? With a touch of nostalgia and a little tongue-in-cheek humor, here are fifteen stories from today’s leading science fiction and fantasy authors that take us back to the time of evil robot overlords, invading armies, and not-quite-trustworthy mechanical companions. Join Julie E. Czerneda, Brandon Daubs, Tanya Huff, Brian Trent, L.E. Modesitt, Jr., Jason Palmatier, Jez Patterson, Gini Koch, Lauren Fox, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Philip Brian Hall, Rosemary Edghill, R. Overwater, Helen French, and Seanan McGuire as we step into the future with a nod to the past. Hold on to those stun guns. You may need them!

Book Description
Rose Parker passed quietly one night, never having required custodial or hospice care. The support Ray received from his father and his adopted son, Manny Morris, was admirable. Erin and Miller weathered the gossip and had three normal children and a wonderful life together. Gaye and Jay were married and gloried in their "second lives," based on (of all things) love. Nora and Jaque did not marry but continued to love each other. Vanessa hadn't asked if Jaque were her biological father. When and if she did . . . Gino Capetti declined to press charges against his captors. Before his trial was to begin, he feigned the symptoms of acute appendicitis. Though in a lock ward at the hospital, his visiting doctor looked enough like Gino that Gino rendered him unconscious, changed into the doctor's clothes, and was released unknowingly. Ten minutes later, when the doctor stumbled out of the room, Gino had disappeared. Gino's guard was given a new assignment, walking a beat in an obscure part of town. Gino's plan was to get to Mexico, have his face changed, and return to Jacksonville to repay the Ortegas for their "hospitality." Before leaving town, he managed to get an old bicycle, which he left at the gate entry to the Ortega complex. Nora correctly interpreted the implication.
