A wonderfully exuberant yet poignant poetry collection from one of Britain's greatest children's poets Michael Rosen. Here are tales of childhood, from the horrors of being late for school, to making a raft, and going to a cafe, as well as poems to ponder - just think, how great would Satnav trousers be! Touching, light-hearted and funny, Michael's poems will delight readers young and old. Former Children's Laureate, Michael continuously promotes the need for children's poetry in our education system, and this collection, first published in 2010, has something for everyone.
An in-depth, well-researched look at 100 hedge fund frauds Compared to mutual funds, hedge funds are the James Bonds of the marketplace.

Compiling concrete data on cases of hedge fund fraud, The Hedge Fund Fraud Casebook provides you with a fac...

"Arturo Di Stefano is an anomaly in the modern art world: a figurative painter when the prevailing orthodoxy favours neo-conceptualism and other non-figurative movements. His work - drawing on literary sources as diverse as The Odyssey and The Waste Land - engages in a dialogue with the past while remaining contemporary in its methods and achievements. From mythological subjects to unpeopled London cityscapes, the world he presents through his art is one of unusually haunting power, perhaps demonstrated to best effect in his penetratingly intense portraits of friends, family members and literary and artistic heroes." "This, the first monograph on one of the most unusual and compelling artists working in London today, offers highly personal responses to his work from three outstanding contributors: critic, novelist and painter John Berger, poet and critic Michael Hofmann and Surveyor of The Queen's Pictures Christopher Lloyd. Along with previously unpublished works and a statement from the artist, Arturo Di Stefano displays the full range of his utterly original creative spirit."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

While our five senses are doing a reasonably good job at representing the world around us on a macro-scale, we have no existing intuitive representation of the nanoworld, ruled by laws entirely foreign to our experience. This is where molecules mingle to create proteins; where you wouldn't recognize water as a liquid; and where minute morphological changes would reveal how much 'solid' things, such as the ground or houses, are constantly vibrating and moving. Following in the footsteps of Nano-Society and Nanotechnology: The Future is Tiny, this title introduces a new collection of stories demonstrating recent research in the field of nanotechnology. This drives home the fact that a plethora...
