SAWDUST CAESAR Stylish young Mod, school-leaver Tommy has to forget his friends and grow up quickly when he gets caught up with the criminal activities of his murdered friend's big brother bent on revenge. The true 'face' of Sixties Mods and Rockers. * Sawdust Caesar depicts the coming-of-age of Tommy who, with his friend Dinger, both fresh out of school, are making a small name for themselves as up-and-coming young criminals. But when Dinger is murdered by Kenser, the leader of a gang of bikers, the mood of the story changes when Dinger's older brother Vince, one of the top men in The Firm, recruits Tommy in place of his little brother. While Tommy's young eyes are being forcibly opened by the more unpleasant aspects of gangland life, Vince continues his search for Dinger's killers, eliminating each of the gang one by one. To further complicate Tommy's increasingly tenuous relationship with the mob, he is seduced by Beryl, the attractive wife of Ray, the top man. Worse, they are discovered in bed by Vince. But Vince has his own secret, a psychopathic aversion to street girls, and, after berating Tommy for messing around with his best friend's wife, rather than rock the boat he lets the matter drop, preferring instead to use the information as a means of retaining Tommy's diminishing loyalty. Kenser, by now the only survivor of the gang, is caught and achieves unexpected fame as the star of a snuff movie. But Vince's time on Earth also draws to a close when Ray discovers that he is the call-girl killer. Faced with gangland execution, Vince displays an unexpected side to his nature by letting Tommy off the hook - by failing to disclose information which could have led to his own survival.
Through economics, our politicians have the power to transform people's lives for better or worse. Think Deng Xiaoping who lifted millions out of poverty by opening up China; Franklin D Roosevelt whose 'New Deal' helped the USA break free of the Great Depression. Or Peron and his successors in Argentina who brought the country to the brink of ruin.In this magisterial history, economist and politician Vince Cable examines the legacy of 16 world leaders who transformed their countries' economic fortunes and who also challenged economic convention. From Thatcher to Trump, from Lenin to Bismarck, Money and Power provides a whole new perspective on the science of government. Examining the fascinating interplay of economics and politics, this is a compelling journey through some of the most significant people and events of the last 300 years.

The genre’s top artists not only discuss their music but also their memories, heritage, day-to-day lives, and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The very first volume about Native artists working commercially today, Rise Up presents artists speaking for themselves without being filtered through a stereotypical lens. Indigenous communities have been calling for self‐determination in self‐representation in their craft. Rise Up answers that call.
