Book Description

Some say I am cold-blooded. They aren’t wrong. To some, I am death. They aren’t wrong. I am the Grim Reaper. Razor, aka Maxim Ivanov, the newly promoted Boss of the National Crime Syndicate, Kings Inc., was known in the crime world as a cold-blooded bastard, an assassin with no heart. Born to the world of violence and crime, Razor embraced his destiny. The path of his future had been set, and over time, he became the embodiment of death… in all its forms. Love didn’t feature in his life. Sex… well, that was an entirely different concept. Indulging in kink was his favorite pastime, and when the sassy socialite propositioned him at the Decadent Sins Club, Master Hades proved why she should have run in the opposite direction. Maia Wilson had been eyeing the brooding Russian since the first time she entered the club. That he was the friend of her bestie’s fiancé placed him right where she wanted him… within her grasp. Except he was so much more dominant than she thought she could handle. Soon, she became the object of her own mystery… and his enjoyment. When Razor found out who was behind usurping the Mafia’s power in the U.S., he was forced back to Moscow to face off against a man he hated with passion… the one who had turned his heart completely black.

Book Description

As part of its review of competition law that started in the late 1990s, the European Commission proposes to revise its interpretation and application of the Treaty’s prohibition of abuses of dominant positions. Also, it has instigated a debate about the promotion of private enforcement of EC competition law. On the former subject, the Commission published a Discussion Paper in 2005; on the latter, a Green Paper in 2005, followed by a White Paper in 2008. The chapters in this volume critically appraise the Commission’s proposals, including the most recent ones. The authors also highlight the repercussions of the proposed ‘more economic approach’ to abuses of dominant positions on private litigants’ opportunities to bring damages actions in national courts for such abuses.

Book Description

The Decadent Sins Saga concludes with the riveting story of the young man Torin took under his wing. Now, twenty years later, he is the Mafioso to fear… They say I am the Devil’s Spawn. They aren’t wrong. They say I am evil incarnate. They aren’t wrong. I am Death. Brendan Caruso I was born as a Kent, but since my eighteenth birthday, one man taught me the true value of who I was and who I was meant to become… a man I now call Dad. Torin Caruso legally adopted me and changed my name on my nineteenth birthday. Today, I am the legal son and successor of the most feared Mafioso the country has ever known. Until me. Under Boss X’s tutelage, I became the best of the best Mafiosos out there. The word no isn’t in my vocabulary, and those who dare use it quickly learned the error of their ways. I’m fiercely protective of my Caruso family, so when Xia Silver came snooping at Decadent Sins under the premise of looking for a job, I smelled a rat. She was too refined, too articulate, and too beautiful to be as destitute as she claimed to be. Not that it stops me from allowing my testosterone to get the better of me. Instead of looking out for my father, I was too caught up expunging pent-up lust with the pretty redhead to take notice. Dad ended up behind bars because of my slackness. Now, I’m on the warpath. Xia Silver will pay for her deceit, and since her father is the Boss of the East Coast Mafia intending to oust the Caruso family, I know just how to get Torin out of jail and end their interference—killing two stones with one bird… I’m going to marry the twit. There will be no mercy. She will learn no one uses the Devil’s Spawn and walks away scot-free. PLEASE NOTE: Although the blurb is in 1st person, the book is written in 3rd person, dual POV.

Book Description

Are there "masculine" and "feminine" characteristics? The answer given in this book is, No. The authors assert, and cite chapter and verse to prove, that those physical, mental, moral or social traits, which we are wont to regard as "masculine" or "feminine" are simply those of the dominant sex; that those we call "feminine" are merely the characteristics of the subordinated sex. In various states at various times when woman was dominant she was possessed of most of the "manly"qualities and practiced the "masculine" customs. She wooed the man and supported him, she did hard physical work while he performed the household tasks and cared for the children, she was polyandrous while the man was monogamous, she was taller and stronger and in every way more influential than the man. The authors conclude that no civilization can reach its highest form of development under a monosexual government, and that the ideal government is one in which both sexes are absolutely equal.

Book Description

Most trade is invoiced in very few currencies. Despite this, the Mundell-Fleming benchmark and its variants focus on pricing in the producer’s currency or in local currency. We model instead a ‘dominant currency paradigm’ for small open economies characterized by three features: pricing in a dominant currency; pricing complementarities, and imported input use in production. Under this paradigm: (a) the terms-of-trade is stable; (b) dominant currency exchange rate pass-through into export and import prices is high regardless of destination or origin of goods; (c) exchange rate pass-through of non-dominant currencies is small; (d) expenditure switching occurs mostly via imports, driven by the dollar exchange rate while exports respond weakly, if at all; (e) strengthening of the dominant currency relative to non-dominant ones can negatively impact global trade; (f) optimal monetary policy targets deviations from the law of one price arising from dominant currency fluctuations, in addition to the inflation and output gap. Using data from Colombia we document strong support for the dominant currency paradigm.

Book Description

We estimate shocks that explain most of the variation in the current account at business cycle frequencies and over the long run. We then explore, using a standard open-economy macro model, which macroeconomic shocks are behind the empirical dominant drivers of the current account at business-cycle frequency. Rather than financial shocks or aggregate shocks to supply or demand, shocks to the relative demand between home and foreign goods are found to play a pivotal role in current account dynamics.

Book Description

The current environmental crises demand that we revisit dominant approaches for understanding nature-society relations. Narrating Nature brings together various ways of knowing nature from differently situated Maasai and conservation practitioners and scientists into lively debate. It speaks to the growing movement within the academy and beyond on decolonizing knowledge about and relationships with nature, and debates within the social sciences on how to work across epistemologies and ontologies. It also speaks to a growing need within conservation studies to find ways to manage nature with people. This book employs different storytelling practices, including a traditional Maasai oral meeting—the enkiguena—to decenter conventional scientific ways of communicating about, knowing, and managing nature. Author Mara J. Goldman draws on more than two decades of deep ethnographic and ecological engagements in the semi-arid rangelands of East Africa—in landscapes inhabited by pastoral and agropastoral Maasai people and heavily utilized by wildlife. These iconic landscapes have continuously been subjected to boundary drawing practices by outsiders, separating out places for people (villages) from places for nature (protected areas). Narrating Nature follows the resulting boundary crossings that regularly occur—of people, wildlife, and knowledge—to expose them not as transgressions but as opportunities to complicate the categories themselves and create ontological openings for knowing and being with nature otherwise. Narrating Nature opens up dialogue that counters traditional conservation narratives by providing space for local Maasai inhabitants to share their ways of knowing and being with nature. It moves beyond standard community conservation narratives that see local people as beneficiaries or contributors to conservation, to demonstrate how they are essential knowledgeable members of the conservation landscape itself.
