Book Description
The Traders' War -- an omnibus edition of the third and fourth novels in Charles Stross's Merchant Princes series. Miriam was an ambitious business journalist in Boston. Until she was fired—then discovered, to her shock, that her lost family comes from an alternate reality. And although some of them are trying to kill her, she won't stop digging up secrets. Now that she knows she's inherited the family ability to walk between worlds, there's a new culture to explore. Her alternate home seems located around the Middle Ages, making her world-hopping relatives top dogs when it comes to "importing" guns and other gadgets from modern-day America. Payment flows from their services to U.S. drug rings—after all, world-skipping drug runners make great traffickers. In a land where women are property, she struggles to remain independent. Yet her outsider ways won't be tolerated, and a highly political arranged marriage is being brokered behind her back. If she can stay alive for long enough to protest.

Book Description
Excerpt from The War Traders: An Exposure The substance of the following paper was read at the National Peace Congress, Leeds, on June 11, 1913. On the previous evening, in the House of Commons, in answer to a request that he would print lists of the larger Government contractors, Mr. Asquith had declined to satisfy what he called "a roving curiosity." It is so many years since my "curiosity" began to "rove" in this field that I should hardly have been drawn back to the subject at this time but for two considerations. The first arose from Dr. Liebknecht's revelations in the Reichstag, and the manner of their reception in this country. It seemed necessary to show that Germany has no monopoly of the evil here dealt with, and to state more emphatically than heretofore the chief corollary to the proposition so well argued by Mr. Norman Angell, that war does not, and as between great modern nations cannot, pay. War does not pay the nations. But war panics and preparations do, all the time and on an enormous scale, pay powerful groups of men in each nation; and it may be doubted whether any real peace will be achieved till this association of political power and the private trade in arms is broken. Secondly, the Marconi trials and inquiry have set up new currents of critical thought. Men who differ in their view of this melancholy episode may yet agree in hoping that it may result in a generally higher standard of public duty. But if that end is to be attained, there will have to be a much wider inquiry into the connection between Parliamentary or administrative power and private profit-making than has yet been attempted. Three motives meet, then, in the following pages- international peace, national economy, and purity of public life. I have sought to state the case in precise terms, and to exclude any statement as to fact that is not verifiable.

Book Description
"Raw, uncouth, and uncensored - like the trading floor - Bulls, Bears, and Millionaires tells the stories of some of the world's top traders through personal interviews with the author. In their own words, these men and women describe what it's like to work in the trading theater, where pulsating adrenaline, fever-pitched shouts, and pushing, shoving bodies form the electric mix of energy that fuels the furious buying and selling known as "the market."" "Author and veteran trader Robert Koppel's skillfully conducted interviews reveal the traders' innermost desires, their strengths and weaknesses, and the qualities they must develop to survive - and thrive - in this most pressurized and competitive of environments. You'll read about astounding wealth, humbling poverty, amazing stresses on the body, and unique skills you may never have imagined could help one succeed in the markets." "These interviews give remarkable insight into the collective psychology that drives this group of millionaires and would-be millionaires to speculate not only on markets and prices, but in a literal sense on themselves. Their everyday enemies are emotion, remorse, panic, fear, greed, and resentment. Their keys to success are discipline, focus, and confidence."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
