Men and Manners
Today’s man may know how to dress with style, but does he know how to behave? Though the rules of civility have changed along with the world, Men and Manners believes in manners. This book doesn’t tell you which fork to use or how to write a thank you note. But it is going to remind you of basic, respectful rules you may have forgotten or have chosen to ignore. Comprised of short essays, shorter interviews, and lists of guidelines for men of all ages, this book provides an honest, playful, and humorous look at the conflicted state of manners today. Subjects that may fluster today’s man†•such as tipping, toasting, texting, grooming, dating, office behavior, and home decor†•are explored with the trademark combination of dry wit and self-deprecating attitude that has made David Coggins one of today’s most well-respected men’s style writers. With humorous illustrations and contributions from some of today’s male style icons, Men and Manners makes the case for being the man who offers the best seat to his companion, who knows when to pick up the tab, and who remembers to do what’s right even if it isn’t always rewarded.
Estás Aí?
Nina Dean não está especialmente incomodada por estar solteira aos trinta. Tem o seu próprio apartamento, é uma escritora de culinária bem-sucedida e tem suficientes amigos para manter a agenda social cheia. Ao instalar uma aplicação de encontros, o impossível acontece: conhece o homem certo logo no primeiro encontro. As conversas são espirituosas e irónicas, partilham um ódio por desporto, dançam juntos como dois loucos, criam um universo inteiro de piadas particulares e têm uma química inigualável. Mas, quando Max deixa de lhe responder, Nina é forçada a lidar com tudo o que tem tentado esquecer... Engraçado e dolorosamente relacionável, o romance de estreia de Dolly Alderton está repleto de observações inteligentes sobre relacionamentos, família, memória e a maneira como vivemos hoje.
Dissent from the Majority Report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
Peter J. Wallison is the only member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) to release a formal dissent to the FCICOs official report on the causes of the financial crisis. Wallison, codirector of financial policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, argues that the FCICOs report fails to address the cause of the deterioration in mortgage underwriting standards that led to the housing bubble widely accepted as the key factor in destabilizing the American economy. Wallison's Dissent to the Majority Report of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reveals that government-mandated subprime loans, not greedy investors, were the force behind the deterioration in underwriting standards. This dissent is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the causes of the financial crisis_and to prevent future economic collapse.
Inequality in Living Standards since 1980
Studies of wage and income inequality among U.S. citizens over the past thirty years have engendered the common wisdom that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. But is it really that simple? In Inequality in Living Standards since 1980 the authors contend that the evolution of income and wage inequalities offers only a partial picture of changes in prosperity in recent decades.
Character and Cops
Since the first edition was published in 1989, Character and Cops has been considered the bible of police ethics training.

High-Skilled Immigration in a Global Labor Market
Recent U.S. immigration reform proposals have focused almost exclusively on regulating the population of low-skilled foreign workers. High-Skilled Immigration in a Global Labor Market contends that policymakers should focus more on attracting immigrants with exclusive skill sets-professional, technical, and managerial (PTM) workers. PTM workers positively impact the economy by expanding production capability, increasing the growth rate of total factor productivity, and enhancing international competitiveness. Barry R. Chiswick and his coauthors examine the policies established by other OECD countries (such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) to attract foreign PTM workers and explore how U.S. immigration policy could be altered to maximize the economic benefits of high-skilled immigration.
