Regional Powerhouse
Publisher description: China's economic rise has captured the world's imagination. At the forefront has been the Greater Pearl River Delta, a region consisting of Hong Kong, Macao, and part of Guangdong Province, whose unique and complex complementarities have created a regional powerhouse of global importance. The authors show how the Greater Pearl River Delta region has benefited from China's economic opening by combining the international orientation, business experience, and financial muscle of Hong Kong and Macao with the land, labor, and skills of the Chinese Mainland. They show how this combination has created an increasing number of world beating industries that have attracted companies and business people from all around the globe. They show how China's accession into the WTO strengthens the region's position in the national and international economies. Finally, they show how the region's trajectory will lead it to even greater prominence in the future.

The Lamps of Albarracín
The Lamps of Albarracín gives voice to the diverse peoples of late-medieval Aragon - Jews, Muslims, Christians, conversos, and mudéjares. Those were the years leading up to the Expulsion of 1492, when the social contract that had allowed the three faiths to live together in tenuous harmony was coming apart. As an author, I was keen to explore beliefs, identities, and inter-faith friendships and conflicts. The peculiar logic of the Inquisitors and those who supported them. The shock of forced conversion to Catholicism. The dramas of resistance. Stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times.While this is a historical novel, I do not claim to capture in a single story the complexity of th...
