Somitra
“Mortality provides the certainty of the grave. Being privy to that knowledge has brought our species a measure of solace; there’s an end to our sorrows. Amortality takes away that certainty, creating its own peculiar anxiety.” Death taunts us as we age. Despite our efforts, we inevitably grow frail until we draw our last breath. Imagine a drug that parries death’s taunt by giving us amortality—life without death—and reversal of the aging process. Should we embrace this elixir or reject it as being contrary to the laws of God? A large pharmaceutical company discovers SOMITRA, a drug giving mice amortality. Elijah-Co keeps the discovery under wraps as it feverishly tries to duplic...
Customer Information Exchange, Ethical Frameworks and Gender in the Arab Business World
Individuals use different ethical frameworks to evaluate customer information exchanges by companies in the Arab business world. This study examines gender-based differences in the use of ethical frameworks. The study found that the outcomes of a customer information exchange influenced women's ethical evaluations of the exchange, their inferences about the particular company and its customer relations, and their decisions to do business with the company in future. Men were less likely to be influenced by the outcomes of the customer information exchange. Women in general were more likely to have a care-based ethical framework, which takes into account the consequences of actions, and men we...

Conceiving Companies
Questions concerning the relationships and boundaries between 'private' business and 'public' government are of great and perennial concern to economists, economic and business historians, political scientists and historians.Conceiving Companies discusses the birth and development of joint-stock companies in 19th century England, an area of great importance to the history of this subject. Alborn takes a new approach to the rise of large scale companies in Victorian England, including the Bank of England and East India Company and Victorian railways, locating their origins in political and social practice. He offers a new perspective on an issue of great significance, not only for historians, but for political scientists and economists.
A History of English Drama 1660-1900: Volume 5, Late Nineteenth Century Drama 1850-1900
Nicoll's History, which tells the story of English drama from the reopening of the theatres at the time of the Restoration right through to the end of the Victorian period, was viewed by Notes and Queries (1952) as 'a great work of exploration, a detailed guide to the untrodden acres of our dramatic history, hitherto largely ignored as barren and devoid of interest'.

Frank Robinson
Frank Robinson was one of the greatest baseball players of the 20th century. He was Rookie of the Year for the Cincinnati Reds in 1956, won the Triple Crown in 1966, led the Baltimore Orioles to four World Series appearances, and is the only player in baseball history to be voted Most Valuable Player in both the American and National leagues. When his playing career was over, he became the first black manager in both leagues and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982. Amid these accomplishments, he continually strived for recognition--as if he had something to prove--and as a manager demanded respect from his players and his bosses. This is a biography of a man who "crowded the plate" in all aspects of his baseball life.

This book examines the international growth and diversification of real estate advisory services in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan since 1960. The book explains how successful firms develop competitive advantages in the global marketplace. An evaluation of forty prominent firms (ten from each country) provides a comparative reference for a detailed analysis of the growth and internationalization of four major real estate advisory service firms (one from each country). The firms have responded in many ways to changes in international real estate investment, and their fortunes have varied accordingly. The analysis provides factual evidence demonstrating growth strategies that enable a firm to become a successful real estate advisory service in today's global economy.
