Macroeconomics, Agriculture, and Food Security: A Guide to Policy Analysis in Developing Countries by Eugenio Díaz-Bonilla (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Why write a book on macroeconomic policies and their links to agriculture and food security in developing countries? The food price spikes of the years just prior to 2010 and the economic, political, and social dislocations they generated refocused the attention of policymakers and development practitioners on the agricultural sector and food security concerns. But even without those traumatic events, the importance of agriculture for developing countries -- and for an adequate functioning of the world economy -- cannot be denied. First, although declining over time, primary agriculture still represents important percentages of developing countries' overall domestic production, exports, and employment. If agroindustrial, transportation, commercial, and other related activities are also counted, then the economic and social importance of agriculture-based sectors increases significantly. Furthermore, large numbers of the world's poor still live in rural areas and work in agriculture. Through the links via production, trade, employment, and prices, agricultural production is also crucial for national food security. Second, it has been shown that agriculture in developing countries has important growth and employment multipliers for the rest of the economy, and agriculture seems to have larger positive effects in reducing poverty than growth in other sectors. Third, agriculture is not only important for individual developing countries, but it has global significance, considering the large presence of developing countries in world agricultural production and the increasing participation in international trade of those products (these three points will be covered in greater detail in Chapter 1).

A History of Mermaids by Robin Pritchard (5 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Lambert Painswick is in trouble. As chief officer in charge of the so called Oubliette, a sump department within the Civil Service that has become the repository of the general public's angst about our mysterious world, he deals daily with the strange and downright bizarre. When one day he receives a video purporting to show that mermaids exist, he follows the trail to a secret naval base on the east coast where it proves to be true. He does not bargain for growing attracted to the enigmatic and beautiful mermaid Qyyn nor risking his life and reputation to follow her into the underwater kingdom of the Mer. Initially, life beneath the sea is not as romantic as Lambert had hoped and it seems to bring out the worst in him.

From IndieReader.com: "Part fantasy, part coming-of-age tale, part humorous romp, THE NORTH POLE CHALLENGE is both entertaining and imaginative. As the first book of five, the narrator skillfully positions his central character to have numerous other adventures." From reviewer Oh My Bookness: "This is a perfect children's tale, even good for interested adults to read who like the holiday season and a twist on characters such as Jack Frost, Old Man Winter, and the creation of Christmas. If you are interested in taking a magical ride through the holiday season this the story for you or any child." Flea has always been different from other students in school. He's not smart or athletic, he's shorter than kids half his age, and his facial features are strangely pointy. His foster mother always warns him to avoid attention, though Flea has no idea who's after them. But Flea discovers several abilities that change his life forever: snowy weather follows him wherever he goes, he can stop snowballs in mid-flight and he builds anything in shop class in a matter of minutes, despite his lack of training. An appearance on The Great Build-Off - a popular construction game show - leads him to a magical place he only thought existed in Christmas stories. At the North Pole, Flea feels even more like an outsider. In fact, the storybook village reminds him of every school he'd ever attended, complete with overachievers and underachievers, popular elves and outcasts. But during his training to become a proper builder elf, he discovers the North Pole has an arch-nemesis bent on invading elfish lands and ending Christmas forever.

I Remember When I Was Young (20th Century Memories Book 1) by Rob Horlock (9 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

'I Remember When I Was Young' is a 400 page collection of half a century of personal memories. Beginning in the 1920s and ending with the 1960s, each chapter contains stories and recollections from individuals throughout the UK and abroad. A wide range of personal memories from childhood, early adulthood and later life. Some recall humorous or emotional incidents unconnected with the world around them; others describe episodes that have a direct connection to the major events of the day. Written in a variety of styles, all recall a time very different to the present day and all who lived at that time will feel a sense of belonging and possibly a tinge of regret that this time has now passed. Younger readers may be astonished at some of the day to day activities that were taken for granted by their older relatives. Each chapter covers a decade and begins with an overview of the main historical events of the time. Important discoveries and 'firsts' are highlighted, together with notable anniversaries. The main focus, however, is not on well-documented historical events but on ordinary people's own personal reminiscences. Everyday stories, which will make the reader laugh, cry, ponder and remember. The memories from each decade paint a picture of life as it was lived by the individuals concerned. Some led similar lives. Some had very different experiences. All are real people sharing their memories with the rest of us. Each decade is distinctly different and the memories captured in this book show how values and lifestyles have changed - perhaps not always for the better... 'I Remember When I Was Young' is not a comprehensive view of life in earlier times. It is a series of snapshots of life as it was lived by ordinary (and in some cases, extraordinary) people. People like you and I.

First Blitz: The secret German plan to raze London to the ground in 1918 by Neil Hanson (22 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

'Using first-hand witnesses plus government war records, Hanson draws a powerful picture of the impact of these first air raids' - Time Out Far from the killing fields of France, a little-known battle was fought in the skies over London that nearly altered the course of the First World War and with it, the history of humanity itself. The margin between survival and total destruction came down to less than one hour. In four years, the Luftwaffe's England squadron had moved from crude canvas-and-wire light aircraft to the four-engined giants as big as anything that flew in the Second World War. This, combined with the development of a revolutionary incendiary bomb, gave Germany the chance to raze London to the ground. It was a chance that they came within an inch of taking... Praise for First Blitz: 'The 1940s bombing raids over London have taken such a powerful grip upon our imagination that the existence of an earlier Blitz, in the First World War I, will come to many readers as a complete surprise. Yet as Neil Hanson demonstrates in this gripping and well-researched book, it was in many ways more terrifying' - Daily Mail 'Clearly and engagingly written, his book puts more academic historians to shame by discovering a big subject, investigating it thoroughly and drawing bold but far-reaching conclusions from it' - Sunday Telegraph Neil Hanson is the author of four acclaimed works of narrative history: The Custom of the Sea, The Dreadful Judgement, The Confident Hope of a Miracle and The Unknown Soldier. He lives in Yorkshire with his family.

UNLEASH KIDS BRAIN POWER: Proven Methods to Improve and Enhance Brain Power by BUD BROWN Price verified 13 hours ago

The book by Bud Brown is a good antidote to this misinformation. He has put an encyclopedic amount of information into this book. It is my expectation that it will become an invaluable reference guide for problem solving - to help families and educators who study child development.Just as importantly, the book can dispel some of the myths that have been shaped by almost 20 years of misinformation and misinterpretation. For example: Do children get smarter when they listen to music? The authors argue that this concept does not find scientific support. However, they note that music lessons can bring some benefits to children, as it helps them focus. After ten years of research, I whole heartedly agree with their conclusion that the best gift you can to do to your children is self-control, or self-mastery. They note that self-control and other higher brain functions (such as working memory, flexible thinking, and resistance to automatic responses) "contribute to the development of the most important [children's] basic brain function: the ability to control one's behavior in order to achieve a goal." Pointing out that self-control underlies many abilities, from socialization to school success, they argue:A similar finding from my own research led me to formulate seven life principles that enable children to excel emotionally, socially, and intellectually. All of these life skills are based on higher brain functions. It is important to note that Bud Brown debunk another myth by arguing that we promote self-control not by forcing children to sit still and chaining them to the table, but by encouraging them to play. They write: 'Probably it doesn't matter what interests your children; as long as they are actively involved in and focused on an activity, they will improve their ability to self-control and their prospects for the futureª. This book will be a welcome gift for you.

The desecrated bodies of Carson Wedgeworth, an award-winning meteorologist, and Isabella Scaglione, his beautiful attorney girlfriend, are discovered by San Diego police in separate bedrooms of the celebrity TV weatherman's luxury seaside estate. The couple died painfully and alone. Carson Wedgeworth had suffered defensive knife wounds and was assassinated at close range in an upstairs bedroom by a single gunshot blast to his forehead. Isabella Scaglione, the divorced mother of two precocious pre-teen daughters, was dragged downstairs, beaten, raped, and strangled. Her naked, pallid corpse was found provocatively posed like a vampire princess with a large carving knife stabbed deeply into her chest.

Several conflicting clues challenge the detectives throughout their investigation, among them a missing murder weapon, previous relationships that ended with threats of bodily harm, solid alibis, dual identities, and DNA evidence that doesn't match confirmed medical records. Dark secrets from the detectives' pasts are interwoven throughout the story as Kate and Jack narrow their search for the killer. But could they become the murderer's next victims?

Inflation, Unemployment, and Government Deficits: End Them: An economist's readable explanation of America's economic malaise and how to quickly end ... by John Lindauer's Students (Claremont-Howard) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

This is a professional economist's explanation of how the United States' economy went wrong as the result of inappropriate federal fiscal polices and regulations and inappropriate and unworkable Federal Reserve monetary policies. More importantly, it explains how the United States can be quickly restored to full employment and stable prices (and higher profits and tax collections) without additional federal regulations or government spending. Professor Lindauer's former graduate students clubbed together to publish it because most of today's "economists" are stuck in an intellectual time lag and pursuing monetary and fiscal policies based on theories from the 1930s and the early postwar era. Such time lags are not new in the academic world - the theories and policies suggested by Smith 250 years ago and Keynes 80 years ago had the same initial lack of recognition and people continued to unnecessarily suffer until their theories and policies were finally understood and adopted. This material is presented by Professor Lindauer's former graduate students because people, politicians, and Federal Reserve governors, and those who allegedly recognize new economic theories and ideas, have been badly misled by professional economists clinging to old theories and ideas and by the writings of journalists who never studied economics and tend to consult the all to often faux economists" working for the PR departments of large financial institutions who merely repeat the prevailing and inaccurate common knowledge of the day. The impact of the resulting inadequate policies have been horrific: massive unemployment, bankruptcies, foreclosures, business failures, low rates of growth, and low tax collections that have resulted in unnecessary deficits and the curtailment of valuable programs. More specifically, this book uses the theories and insights Lindauer added to post-Keynesian economics to explain how and why the United States "Great Recession" began in 2008 and ...

Claimed (Freed Book 1) by Portia Moore (525 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

My first love was my best friend, Zachary Rostov. He was the boy next door, my secret keeper, and knight in rugged denim; he saw me even when the world looked away. He loved me before anyone else did, but he broke my heart into a thousand pieces and took the shattered shards with him when he walked away. I left behind the small, poor town in Indiana we both grew up in and moved to Chicago. I was still poor, desperately so, and that poverty had me make a choice, had me make a terrible decision that led me to almost being arrested. The only reason I'm not in prison is because of one man. Vincent Jamison. Vincent isn't the boy I left behind. He's a man -- dominant, powerful, rich. His life couldn't be more different from the one I remember living in Indiana. He sweeps me off my feet into a fairytale, like the ones I always dreamed of, and I think maybe my prince has finally come. But Vincent doesn't just want to save me. He wants to claim me. Own me. And as I realize that Vincent and I have very different meanings of happily ever after, I can't help but think of my past; it's blurring with my future, and I wonder if my white knight from long ago can keep his promise to always save me.

Claimed by the Alien Tyrant: A Sci-fi Alien Romance by Sophia Sebell (327 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Lord Kruth was a monster. Terrible, angry, ruthless... and I belonged to him. A simple hike in the woods on a clearly marked trail. Easy enough. Except my curiosity got the better of me and I fell off a cliff, landing straight in the center of a military training exercise that ended when a strange mist overtook the clearing. Next thing I know, me and the entire group of soldiers are captives of High Warlord Kruth on a distant planet. Stolen away to be forced into his military and help him take over the galaxy. Spoiler alert: I'm not a soldier. That was quickly discovered when I was forced into a trial to prove my worth and passed by sheer luck under the watchful eye of the admittedly hunky High Warlord Kruth. Lord Kruth rules with an iron fist, doling out cruel punishments to those that disobey him and commanding an unimaginably vast army. He's terrifying, mean, ruthless... with his chiseled torso and thick thighs, barely contained under that fur covered loincloth he wears. That smoldering scowl that softens when his eye falls on me... Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) he had taken a liking to me and kept me by his side. All I could do was wait and follow Lord Kruth's orders obediently, or as obediently as my mouth would let me. Hopefully, the soldiers abducted with me would work out an escape plan. There was a slight problem, though. The more time I spent with Lord Kruth, the less I was sure I even wanted to escape. Claimed by the Alien Tyrant is a full-length sci-fi romance that features action, adventure, and steamy intimate moments. No cliffhangers or cheating. Happily ever after guaranteed!

Quantum Beginnings: A Near-Future CyberPunk Thriller (Entangled Fates Book 1) by Joe Kuster (841 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Twenty years after Artificial Intelligence was nearly mankind's last invention, a ruthless mega-corporation steps over legal and ethical boundaries... Alex Sage was a typical college student trying to keep his grades up when an automated semi accident killed his parents and damaged major sections of his brain. With no next of kin, and in an almost-vegetative state, Apollo Technologies implanted a next-gen quantum computer into his brain - one running illegal bleeding edge AI code. With fear of AI still high, and rampant anti-augmentation sentiments, Alex is now the pet project of a tech mogul who can pull him offline at any time. Getting out from under the thumb of the megacorp is going to take all of his human creativity and quantum processing power - and the help of beautiful mercenaries and back-alley deals with criminal enterprises. Keeping himself safe and his secrets hidden will require Alex to discover where his lines are, and if he's willing to cross them. Disclaimer: This series features an anti-hero protagonist and does not shy away from complicated relationships. Alex is the central figure in modern multiple partner / polyamorous relationships and does not fade to black. For 18+ readers but the spicy bits are clearly tagged and skippable if that's not your thing. Entangled Fates uses a hard sci-fi approach to explore the near-future journey toward the neon-soaked cyberpunk of tomorrow, as well as some of the early, but likely, missteps around artificial intelligence.
