Tanker Man
This is a story about survival on an oil tanker which had been torpedoed in 1942. All the navigating officers had been killed and an engineer, the most senior officer left in a fit condition, had to get the ship carrying twelve thousand tons of aviation fuel to Liverpool. What was left of the crew, were living on a time bomb. It was one which could explode at any time due to the nature of their cargo. They did not know friend from foe. German agents seemed to be everywhere. This is a classic World War 2 story and accurately describes the way of life during that period of our history. There is also a bit of boy meets girl, boy wants to marry girl but has to overcome objections about his work. There is something in this story which should appeal to everybody.

The Modern Prison Paradox
In The Modern Prison Paradox, Amy E. Lerman examines the shift from rehabilitation to punitivism that has taken place in the politics and practice of American corrections. She argues that this punitive turn has had profoundly negative consequences for both crime control and American community life. Professor Lerman's research shows that spending time in America's increasingly violent and castigatory prisons strengthens inmates' criminal networks and fosters attitudes that increase the likelihood of criminal activity following parole. Additionally, Professor Lerman assesses whether America's more punitive prisons similarly shape the social attitudes and behaviors of correctional staff. Her analysis reveals that working in more punitive prisons causes correctional officers to develop an 'us against them' mentality while on the job, and that the stress and wariness officers acquire at work carries over into their personal lives, straining relationships with partners, children, and friends.

Money, Finance, Reality, Morality
Conventional explanations of the nature of money are weighed down by bad ideas and irrelevant historical evidence.

The book analyses the perception of money as an economic tool (as compared to a symbolic and sociological object) as a highly functional quantitative token that assigns numerical values to the inherently unmeasurable economic activities of labour and consumption. It looks at finance as an of...
