Book Description
Nunca duermas con extraños Habían pasado cuatro años desde que Jon Stuart contempló cómo su esposa perecía de una forma espantosa al precipitarse por el balcón de su residencia escocesa. Aunque la justicia dictaminó en su día que la muerte de Cassandra Stuart había sido accidental, todos sospecharon de él. Por fin, después de perder amistades y ver empañado su buen nombre durante años, Jon se había propuesto demostrar que la muerte de Cassandra no había sido accidental... sino provocada. Para llevar a cabo su peligroso plan, Jon había reunido a los principales sospechosos en el escenario del crimen. Allí, en el castillo de sus antepasados, el pasado chocó con el presente, los antiguos amantes volvían a encontrarse... y el asesino tramaba otro crimen perfecto. Los colores del asesino Chloe Marin podía considerarse una mujer afortunada. Solo era una adolescente cuando la mansión de la playa en la que se encontraba con unos amigos quedó reducida a un baño de sangre. Según las autoridades, los asesinos fueron hallados muertos más tarde en el manglar, pero Chloe no terminaba de estar convencida de ello. Diez años después, siendo ya una psicóloga a la que la policía consultaba con regularidad, se vio envuelta en el caso de la desaparición de una joven modelo. Todo el mundo daba por sentado que se había escapado con alguien para disfrutar de la vida, todos menos Chloe, que había empezado a recibir la visita del fantasma de la joven. Alguien más se estaba interesando por la suerte de la modelo: Luke Cane, un investigador privado que estaba indagando en la desaparición por cuenta del padre de la chica. Chloe y Luke no confiaban demasiado el uno en el otro, aunque sí eran conscientes de que había una innegable atracción entre ellos. Pero una segunda masacre empezó a convencer a Chloe de que su presencia ya no podía ser una mera coincidencia...

Book Description
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

From acclaimed thriller-suspense novelists Heather Graham and Jon Land comes a story of action, mystery, and the endurance of young love in The Rising. Twenty-four hours. That's all it takes for the lives of two young people to be changed forever. Alex Chin has the world on a plate. A football hero and homecoming king with plenty of scholarship offers, his future looks bright. His tutor, Samantha Dixon, is preparing to graduate high school at the top of her class. She plans to turn her NASA internship into a career. When a football accident lands Alex in the hospital, his world is turned upside down. His doctor is murdered. Then, his parents. Death seems to follow him wherever he goes, and now it's after him. Alex flees. He tells Samantha not to follow, but she became involved the moment she walked through his door and found Mr. and Mrs. Chin as they lay dying in their home. She cannot abandon the young man she loves. The two race desperately to stay ahead of Alex's attackers long enough to figure out why they are hunting him in the first place. The answer lies with a secret buried deep in his past, a secret his parents died to protect. Alex always knew he was adopted, but he never knew the real reason his birth parents abandoned him. He never knew where he truly came from. Until now. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Truffles and Trash
Author: Kelly Alexander
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469678608
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
On a fragile planet with spreading food insecurity, food waste is a political and ethical problem. Examining the collaborative, sometimes scrappy institutional and community efforts to recuperate and redistribute food waste in Brussels, Belgium, Kelly Alexander reveals it is also an opportunity for new forms of sociality. Her study plays out across a diverse set of locations—including a food bank with ties to the EU, a social restaurant serving low-cost meals made from supermarket surplus by an emergent immigrant labor force, and a social inclusion program in an urban market with a "zero food waste" pop-up cafe. Alexander argues that these efforts, in concert with innovative policy, effectively recirculate wasted food to new publics and produce what she terms a "spectrum of edibility." According to Alexander, these models face challenges—including reproducing the very power dynamics across race, class, and citizenship status they seek to circumvent. They also mirror the challenges of the everyday operations of the European social welfare state, which is increasingly reliant on NGOs to meet provisioning promises. Yet she finds that they also move the needle forward to reduce food waste across one city, providing an example for major urban centers around the world.
