at the Intersection of Blood & Money
Armond turned to him, his face refusing to disguise obvious disdain. As far as he was concerned, his directive was simple—one that should not have secured authorities' attention. Surely, now that the damage was done, there would be questions—a position he didn't relish. As he considered the issue, he also considered—again—if it were time to make changes within his organization. Disappointment in his right-hand man was becoming familiar, prompting him to wonder if Luca Russo could be trusted to perform his duties without babysitting. "Current, or no current—the result is the same. It is a mistake that can cost us everything!" In that moment, Armond Coniglio made a decision. It was, indeed, time for a change. Her life again on track, Colbie accepts a new case thrusting her into the depths of the fashion industry, sending her on a whirlwind investigation to New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Hired by Basile Duchon, international designer, to investigate his orchestrated demise from the public eye, what seems a straightforward case morphs into one of insight, intuition, and intrigue. And, danger . . .
Scent of Unfinished Business
RELICS. RIDDLES. REALITY. Nathan Moss stood, false bravado tanking with each passing second. It never occurred to him Clifford Rasmussen wouldn't agree to his new terms, and leaving without a briefcase full of cash wasn't exactly what Moss had in mind. "I suggest," Rasmussen calmly continued, "you take the opportunity to think about your position. If you come to your senses, I will, of course, listen . . ." With that, Nathan Moss was unceremoniously dismissed. It was an embarrassment rocking him to his core and, in that moment, he made a promise to himself—give the greedy and insufferable Clifford Rasmussen what he wanted? "Over my dead body . . ." When Colbie's Yucatan vacation for self-discovery shifts in an unexpected direction, she can't refuse when an old colleague suggests working together to solve the murder of archaeologist, Richard Sanderson. Returning to Georgia in search of the truth, roadblocks force her to embed herself in a world of relics, riddles, and reality as she delves into a history she barely knows. Secrets lead to lies . . . And, lies lead to . . .
Disruptive Change and the Capital Markets
The risk-based approach to capital markets regulation is in crisis. Climate change, shifting demographics, geopolitical conflicts and other environmental discontinuities threaten established business models and shorten the life spans of listed companies. The current rules for periodic disclosure in the EU fail to inform market participants adequately. Unlike risks, uncertainties are unquantifiable or may only be quantified at great cost, causing them to be insufficiently reflected in periodic reports. This is unfortunate, given the pivotal role capital markets must play in the economy’s adaptation to environmental discontinuities. It is only with a reformed framework for periodic disclosure, that gradual and orderly adaptation to these discontinuities appears feasible. To ensure orderly market adaptation, a new reporting format is required: scenario analysis should be integrated into the European framework for periodic disclosure.

Exploring Causal Risk Factors for Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders
Metabolic and endocrine disorders are the main burden of noncommunicable chronic diseases, and they serve as important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases or multiple cancers. To date, a large number of correlates have been identified, but few of them were modifiable and causal. In general, causal relationships can be conceptualized not only in a probabilistic sense involving statistical terms and procedures, but also in the complexity of biological phenomena. The limited understanding of many underlying mechanisms hinders a deterministic conceptualization of disease causation. The identification of modifiable risk factors that have a causal effect on the incidence of these diseases and their complications is critical to the primary or secondary prevention of metabolic and endocrine diseases.
Santa Maria degli Angeli: un monastero camaldolese “dimenticato” nel centro di Firenze
Il tema di questa pubblicazione è il monastero camaldolese di Santa Maria degli Angeli, situato nel centro storico di Firenze, in un’area compresa tra via degli Alfani, via del Castellaccio e piazza Brunelleschi. Lo studio del complesso religioso, fondato nel 1295, è stato affrontato con il duplice scopo di ricostruirne le vicende storico-architettoniche degli ultimi quattro secoli e individuare le ragioni del frazionamento successivo alla sua soppressione del 1866. Dalla divisione tra diverse proprietà è derivata l’attuale perdita di leggibilità architettonica del cenobio camaldolese, al punto da rendere quasi “dimenticato” non solo dai cittadini, ma anche da parte della storiografia, uno dei centri religiosi e culturali più importanti del Tre-Quattrocento fiorentino.

Class Meets Land
"Class Meets Land reveals something seemingly counterintuitive: that nineteenth-century class struggles over land are deeply implicated in twenty-first-century financial capitalism. Narrating the closely knit stories of Milan's working class, industrial elites, and industrial land, Maria Kaika and Luca Ruggiero foreground the tenacious role of class struggle over land in choreographing capitalist transitions. They assert that land assetization and financialization are not recent phenomena but rather historical practices sculpted into the present configuration through long-term rituals and struggles, rooted in the everyday lives and histories of both capital and labor. Exploring land assetization from the outset of capitalism's early history, Kaika and Ruggiero offer a novel understanding of land financialization as a 'lived' process: the outcome of a relentless and socially embodied historical unfolding, within which land performs a multiplicity of ever-changing symbolic and material roles for both capital and labor as it becomes enrolled simultaneously in local class struggle cycles and the circuits of global (financial) capital"--
Álvaro Siza
This book examines the houses designed by Alvaro Siza, one of the masters of contemporary architecture. The 28 villas represent an important aspect of Siza's career. Each construction is narrated by Alvaro Siza through his short poetic writings, a technical description, and a series of sketches. Also included are accounts written by Siza's clients, which bear witness to the complex dialogue behind the design of each house. The volume also features two visual essays based on a selection of drawings by Siza and impeccable photographs of his work.
