Book Description

In the mid-1970s, Walpole State Prison had the highest murder rate of any prison in the country, and the lowest conviction rate: zero. The District Attorney's office had been pilloried by the press for its inability to get results. So when a particularly atrocious murder occurred on Thanksgiving Day, 1976, and an inmate offered to testify that he'd seen who did it, DA William Delahunt jumped at the offer. The DA's office and state police framed Stephen Doherty for the crime. It took him twenty years to prove that he was innocent. This is his story.

Book Description

WTF? Where’s the Fraud?--How to Unmask and Stop Identity Fraud’s Drain on Our Government reveals the true epidemic facing our nation, the profiles of its perpetrators, and the devastating cost of this multi-billion dollar industry. Larry Benson and Andy Bucholz marshal their experiences at LexisNexis Risk Solutions as researchers and developers of solutions for identity theft and fraud. WTF? Where’s the Fraud? explains identity fraud and answers the questions, “Why should I care?” and “How much does it cost us?” It reveals the information gold mine that perpetrators already know about and take advantage of. It sheds light on the growing insecurity of the government’s benefits administration, and points to the emerging problems of fraud in health care. This book gives both government and citizen alike a leg-up against an unwieldy and adaptive enemy. In a time when social media pervades popular culture, and ubiquitous devices provide easy access to personal information, identity fraud has emerged as a national epidemic.

Book Description

The VAT Carousel Fraud has seriously undermined the financial integrity of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). This timely book is the first to give an overview of fraud in the carbon market. Written by a former broker, it presents unique material on the carbon fraud mechanics and analyses the missing trader fraud (VAT fraud) on European carbon allowances markets with a focus on financial and organised crime issues. Fraud and Carbon Markets: The Carbon Connection assesses the weaknesses of the Kyoto Protocol and environmental markets, using statistics as a forensic tool on the capital markets. It describes specific cases, the court investigations and various mechanisms. It addresses issues of money laundering and international fraud on capital markets, such as stock manipulation, by exploring the financial mechanisms of the fraud, their impact on the market behaviour and the consequences on their econometric features. Researchers and students in climate change policy, environmental finance, financial law, organised crime, forensic statistics, financial regulation and risk management as well as financial regulators and policy makers will find this book of great interest.

Book Description

Topical Themes in Argumentation Theory brings together twenty exploratory studies on important subjects of research in contemporary argumentation theory. The essays are based on papers that were presented at the 7th Conference of the International Society for the Study of Argumentation (ISSA) in Amsterdam in June 2010. They give an impression of the nature and the variety of the kind of research that has recently been carried out in the study of argumentation. The volume starts with three essays that provide stimulating theoretical perspectives on argumentation. Subsequently, some views are explained on the intriguing topics of ‘dissensus’ and ‘deep disagreement’. After a discussion of three different approaches to the treatment of types of argumentation some classical themes from antique argumentation theory are revisited. The new research area of visual argumentation is explored in the next part. The volume concludes with three reports of experimental studies concerning argumentative discourse.

Book Description

A Greek tragedy in modern England, Val McDermid's A Place of Execution is a taut psychological thriller that explores, exposes, and explodes the border between reality and illusion in a multi-layered narrative that turns expectation on its head and reminds us that what we know is what we do not know. On a freezing day in December 1963, Alison Carter vanishes from her rural village, an insular community that distrusts the outside world. For the young George Bennett, a newly promoted inspector, it is the beginning of his most difficult and harrowing case--a suspected murder with no body, an investigation with more dead ends and closed faces than he'd have found in the anonymity of the inner city, and an outcome that reverberates through the years. Decades later Bennett finally tells his story to journalist Catherine Heathcote, but just when the book is poised for publication, he unaccountably tries to pull the plug. He has new information that he refuses to divulge, new information which threatens the very foundations of his existence. Catherine is forced to reinvestigate the past, with results that turn the world upside down. A Place of Execution is winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel.

Book Description

In this analysis, Shelton calls for a unified international monetary regime—a new Bretton Woods—to lay the foundation for worldwide stability and prosperity in the post-Cold War era. Despite worldwide rhetoric about free trade and the global economy, the leading economic powers have done little to address the most insidious form of protectionism—the inherently unstable international monetary system. In outlining steps toward a new world monetary structure, Judy Shelton elevates the needs of individual producers—who actually create wealth in the global economy—over the programmes of governments.

Book Description

This book is a commentary on the feelings, emotions, and opinions of your fellow conservatives. The comments that you will read come from online, offline, articles, etc. I have purposely deleted the names, emails, and the publications so as to protect the individuals and the publications from any interference or retribution from this congress and this administration. The following chapters will address an Issue and you will read the comments normally against that issue. Some of the comments are moderate and some are pretty radical. I dont judge the individuals who make the comments that is up to you. Each chapter will have live links so you can go there and check out a particular comment you may be interested in. If nothing else you will be kept fairly busy reading and learning about things that the media does not want to cover. At the end of each chapter I will give you my opinion on that particular issue. I may agree with the comments and I may not or I just might give you a different perspective. This book is to inform and educate the average American as to what is really taking place and how you can use your right to vote to really change things for the better. An informed voter especially a conservative voter is no one to mess with. The Liberal left cannot deal with the truth and you will be armed with the truth.

Book Description

In this exhilarating series debut, police detective William Monk must solve the mystery of his own past. His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk's efforts doubly difficult, since he's forgotten his professional skills along with everything else. “Richly textured with the sights and sounds of London and its countryside . . . Solidly absorbing and Perry's best to date.”—Kirkus Reviews
