War, Justice, and Infamy
What do two revolutionaries, a backwoods boy from Illinois, a samurai, two Roman generals, a Caesar, and a young French mystic have in common? All eight fought for justice and lasting peace. All enjoyed a string of political or military successes, and all were betrayed or murdered after their greatest victories. In War, Justice, and Infamy, Ernesto Hernández-Catá recounts the moving stories of seven extraordinary men and one woman marked by history for greatness. The lives of Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, Jeanne d'Arc, and others come to life in these pages, as do their struggles, victories, and, ultimately, their tragedies. A celebration of heroes and a sobering look at the roles infamy and betrayal play in history, these eight remarkable histories reveal how murder and assassination cannot extinguish the light cast by the brave and the honorable.

Globalisation Under Threat
The events in Seattle and other cities around the world demonstrate that globalisation and trade liberalisation are currently under severe pressure. There are also reasons to believe that these pressures are being translated into measures to increase the protection of domestic markets. This book addresses what are arguably the four most important origins of these pressures: macroeconomic conditions, labour policy, trade and the environment, and market imperfections. The authors first address the role of macroeconomic conditions and policies, and demonstrate how these can have a crucial role in explaining 'slippages' of trade policy. The second origin of instability is labour policy, in parti...
