        The Great Imperial Hangover

        How Empires Shaped the World

        by Samir Puri

        For the first time in millennia we live without formal empires. But that doesn't mean we don't feel their presence rumbling through history. The Great Imperial Hangover examines how the world's imperial legacies are still shaping the thorniest issues we face today. From Russia's incursions in the Ukraine to Brexit; from Trump's 'America-first' policy to China's forays into Africa; from Modi's India to the hotbed of the Middle East, Puri provides a bold new framework for understanding the world's complex rivalries and politics. Organised by region, and covering vital topics such as security, foreign policy, national politics and commerce, The Great Imperial Hangover combines gripping history and astute analysis to explain why the history of empire affects us all in profound ways.

        Corporate Fraud Exposed

        A Comprehensive and Holistic Approach

        by H. Kent Baker, Lynnette Purda, Samir Saadi

        After each major corporate scandal, new suggestions for combatting fraud emerge from regulators and industry professionals. Despite changes to guidelines for firms’ corporate governance, augmented protection for whistle blowers, and enhanced cybersecurity measures, evidence documents an alarming increase in the prevalence and severity of corporate fraud. The rapidly changing laws aimed at curbing corporate fraud sometimes lag behind the changing sophistication of fraud schemes.    Corporate Fraud Exposed discusses the motivations and drivers of fraud including agency theory, executive compensation, and organizational culture. It examines fraud’s consequences for various firm stakeholders and its spillover effects to other corporations, the political environment, and financial market participants, including those who participate via crowdfunding platforms.     This book provides a fresh look at this intriguing but often complex subject. It skillfully blends the contributions of a global array of scholars and practitioners into a single review of some of the most important topics in this area. Given its broad scope, this practical and comprehensive title should be of interest to anyone curious about corporate fraud.

        Straight Ahead

        by Emmanuelle Rey

        Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family. So the three siblings leave Montpellier and their chaotic life, closely tailed by the police. They leave to find Thierry and Martine, whose smiles and ratatouille chicken Mauve remembers fondly. They start walking straight ahead to Marseille and La Pointe Rouge, with the hope of a new life. Straight Ahead follows the singular path of Mauve and her two brothers, filled with life-altering adventures and realistic characters. Furthermore, in a series of flashbacks, Mauve tells us all about her mother—an eccentric woman who certainly doesn’t seem able to take care of her children, but who is full of love for them nonetheless. • The complexity of a mother-child relationship, when a mother’s love isn’t enough to make up for her shortcomings • The unique bond between siblings that will help them deal with life on the road • Interesting encounters and experiences — good and bad — that teach valuable life lessons

        Rural Development: Multiple Perspectives for its Analysis

        by Jorge Iván Bula Escobar, Wilson Alonso Nuncira Cervantes, Jaime Flórez Bolaños, Cristian Samir Ulloa Ramos, Catherine Valencia González, Jessica Alexandra Cristancho Niño, Juan Sebastián Guerrero Gordillo, Jennifer Alexandra Romero Aldana, Juana Edith Navarrete Marneou, Edgar Alfonso Sansores Guerrero, Zahira Moreno Freites, Lisandro José Alvarado Peña, Roberto Benvenuto

        This book aims to present multiple perspectives for the analysis of production dynamics developed in rural areas of Latin American countries such as Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela. Authors address certain issues that affect (directly and indirectly) rural development and the challenge of consolidating a model that seeks the satisfaction of needs, employment and well-being of peasant populations. Such issues include large estate, conflict, production endeavors, internationalization, retail marketing, and environmental impacts. To highlight some results, it is concluded that: a) the large estate model is changeless in time, b) production endeavors in Production Transformation Plans lead to important results in local production, c) there are specific groups of agricultural and agro industrial products with high export potential in the country, d) the case of Mexican retail marketing companies allows to identify variables that highly affect marketers’ capital structure, and e) the diagnosis made in the Venezuelan case shows possible negative environmental impacts as a consequence of extractive activities in rural areas.

        Gott aus Stroh

        by Frank Dommel

        Gott aus Stroh Frank Dommel Kommissar Falk Sebastiani erschießt in der Not drei Attentäter und wird dafür mit fragwürdigem Ruhm und vie Applaus von der falschen Seite bedacht. Er nimmt sich in der norwegischen Finnmark eine Auszeit, doch die Ruhe ist trügerisch: Die Gegend ist Teil einer illegalen Flüchtlingsroute - mit teils daramtischen Folgen. Zudem verdichten sich die Hinweise, dass Falks Tochter Hannah aus Oslo in einen Mordfall involviert ist. Die Suche nach ihr bringt Falk ans Limit. In der unbarmherzigen Wildnis wird er mit einem Gegner konfrontiert, der für Hannahs Taten den ultimativen Preis verlangt: ein Leben für ein Leben. Frank Dommel schreibt mit dem Skalpell - messerscharf beobachtet und gnadenlos ehrlich. In Gott aus Stroh verknüpft er unbequeme gesellschaftspolitische Fakten, feinsinnigen Humor und Fragen nach individueller und politischer Schuld zu einem packenden Kriminalroman. Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist Kommissar Falk Sebastiani, der bei einem Einsatz drei Attentäter erschießt. Halb Held, halb Mörder, sucht er in der Abgeschiedenheit der norwegischen Finnmark Anschluss an sein verpasstes Leben und gerät in ein komplexes Gewirr aus Familiendrama, Flüchtlingsschleusen und organisierter Drogenkriminalität. Wie Dommel aus der Psychologie einer erstarrten, doch beidseitig um einen Neuanfang bemühten Vater-Tochter-Beziehung die Schattenseiten einer zutiefst verunsicherten globalisierten Welt zeigt, ist einzigartig. Zudem verankert er unaufdringlich starkes Lokalkolorit in seinem Plot, in dem sich die Einsamkeit und Kälte des Nordens sowohl in der Stimmung des Romans als auch in der Gemütsverfassung seiner Figuren widerspiegelt. Kopfkino par excellence, das begeistert und lange nachhallt.

        SELF-ish: A Transgender Awakening

        by Chloe Schwenke

        SELF-ISH IS A NARRATIVE DRAWN FROM AN INTERNATIONAL LIFE, beginning with some early glimpses out at the world by a girl in a boy’s body. Chloe was raised as Stephen in a Marine Corps family and was sent off at age 14 to “man up” at a military academy. Later—and still embodied as a man—she ventured abroad to work in some of the roughest regions of Africa, the Gaza Strip, Turkey, and many other locales. Her far-flung global journey was matched in intensity by an inner identity and spiritual struggle and the associated ravages of depression, before she came to the revelation of being a transgender woman. At a time when many Americans are just waking up to the reality of the transgender phenomenon, this portrayal of Chloe’s life, her challenging gender transition, and her many accomplishments and adventures along the way (including being among the first three transgender political appointees in U.S. history, under President Obama), creates a poignant story of authenticity, self-discovery, and the meaning of gender set against a fascinating international backdrop.
