Book Description
John Perkins’ controversial and bestselling exposé, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, revealed for the first time the secret world of economic hit men (EHMs). But Perkins’ Confessions contained only a small piece of this sinister puzzle. The full story is far bigger, deeper, and darker than Perkins’ personal account revealed. Here other EHMs, journalists, and investigators join Perkins to tell their own stories, providing the first probing and expansive look into this pervasive web of systematic corruption. With chapters spotlighting how specific countries around the globe have been subverted, A Game As Old As Empire uncovers the inner workings of the institutions behind these economic manipulations. The contributors detail concrete examples of how the “economic hit man game” is still being played: an officer of an offshore bank hiding hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen money, IMF advisers slashing Ghana’s education and health programs, a mercenary defending a European oil company in Nigeria, a consultant rewriting Iraqi oil law, and executives financing warlords to secure supplies of coltan ore in Congo. Together they show how this system of corruption and plunder operates in real life, and reveal the price that the rest of the world must pay as a result. Most important, A Game As Old As Empire connects the dots, showing how the various pieces of this system come together to create the world’s first truly global empire.

Book Description

Book Description
A group biography of seven enduring and beloved games, and the story of why—and how—we play them. Checkers, backgammon, chess, and Go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasurable. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last Go champion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism”; and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white Go stones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language itself. Throughout, Roeder tells the compelling story of how humans, pursuing scientific glory and competitive advantage, have invented AI programs better than any human player, and what that means for the games—and for us. Funny, fascinating, and profound, Seven Games is a story of obsession, psychology, history, and how play makes us human.

Book Description
She learned quickly that this was no Game! Tony met her at a club by chance… by sleeping with her and making a deal between the sheets. Now they have an arrangement. She schedules Tony’s clients, and Tony services those clients. Lust, rich women, and men willing to do anything to take him down are abundant in Tony’s world, but not love… not for him. His private and work life are two separate entities, and he intends to keep them that way. *** As their breathing slowed, they heard the door to the suite open. “Who’s that?” Luci asked. “My servant. He will not bother us. He will wait until we open the door.” Luci was uneasy knowing there was someone in the suite, and she thought they should get dressed, but the prince was in no hurry. “I will give our breakfast order to the servant and then I will speak to Sal. Stay here, Luciana. I will not be gone long.” The prince’s heavy body left her exposed and she covered herself, watching him as he dressed in front of her. His body gave her chills and turned her on. He glanced in her direction to make sure she was covered before opening the door. Luci knew what was going on. He was talking to Sal. Negotiating, which wasn’t easy. She heard voices rise every now and then, and then there was silence followed by footsteps. When Nairot opened the door to the bedroom, Luci appeared to be asleep. “Luci. The weekend is ours. Will you show me your city?” That was a new request for Luci. She was always a secret, a bed warmer. No man had asked to be seen in public with her in the light of day. “I’d love to.”
