Johnny Flannigan developed a sixth sense about trouble at an early age: it always happens when you're not dressed. Johnny grew up in a ragtag family full of what other folk called "characters." His dad and mother, who lived on small change and laughs, had Johnny late in life. But when Johnny was seventeen, things began to look up. He and his new friend, Jesse Davidson, teamed up with Eddie Freeman, a fast-talking kid who would later became manager for the singing duo, Jesse and Johnny. Together, the three boys began to make a little money, learning the entertainment business by trial and error. Eddie will do whatever it takes to make his friends (and clients) into superstars.

The monetization of medicine is merely in its cradle. - Ronit Arora, CEO, Meridian Labs In Frankfurt, an affluent heir faces his nemesis ten years after a miraculous cure. In Kolkata, an eminent NGO doctors the health records of unwitting sex workers. In cyberspace, an invisible army distorts consumers’ reality. And in Mumbai, biotechnologist Shubhra Sen connects the dots through ‘The Aquila Trials.’ In the maze of a clinical trial gone awry, Shubhra is set against an opponent who will stop at nothing to rise to the echelons of the Global Billionaire CEO Club. A kaleidoscopic perspective on pharmacracy lays bare the commercialization, politicization, and ritualization of medicine.

This successful title, previously known as 'Building the 21st Century Home' and now in its second edition, explores and explains the trends and issues that underlie the renaissance of UK towns and cities and describes the sustainable urban neighbourhood as a model for rebuilding urban areas. The book reviews the way that planning policies, architectural trends and economic forces have undermined the viability of urban areas in Britain since the Industrial Revolution. Now that much post-war planning philosophy is being discredited we are left with few urban models other than garden city inspired suburbia. Are these appropriate in the 21st century given environmental concerns, demographic change, social and economic pressures? The authors suggest that these trends point to a very different urban future. The authors argue that we must reform our towns and cities so that they become attractive, humane places where people will choose to live. The Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood is a model for such reform and the book describes what this would look like and how it might be brought about.
