One of Our Ships Is Missing
What readers have said about Abandoned Property', Robert Meyjes's first novel about World War II: "We savored the plot lines, all the details about international banking, the character of Eduard, the evocation of places, the spectacular male and female villains " A.L., London "It kept me up long after my usual bedtime, but in this case the cliché was absolutely true: I could not put it down." G.C., New York "Fabulous story, well-written, suspenseful, great characters, lots of historical background, and exciting moments. The end was unexpected and terrific!" L.F., Illinois. "It is such a timely subject and you really kept the thrilling excitement and tension going I learned a lot about what ...
Abandoned Property
Untitled Document In the late 1930's, convinced that the Nazis would annihilate all Europeans who challenged their belief in Aryan supremacy, Eduard Seventer uses his influential investment bank in Amsterdam to transfer Jewish refugee funds to safety in England and America. The lightning-fast German invasion of the Netherlands in May of 1940 catches Seventer on a business trip in London, unable to return to his young wife in Amsterdam.

Georgius Cassander’s 'De officio pii viri' (1561)
The printing history of perhaps the most influential tract in the history of irenicism (church reunification), Georgius Cassander's De officio pii viri, in 1561 presented at the Colloquy at Poissy, together with an overview of its afterlife and the numerous reactions it provoked, both by Protestants and Roman Catholics, will contribute to our understanding of the history of erasmian humanist irenicism. Two contemporary translations, one in German by Georg von Cell and one in French by Jean Hotman, show us how De officio pii viri was adapted to the ongoing struggle for church peace in different parts of Europe, a struggle that was led by jurists and theologians, outstanding members of the Republic of Letters, who were able to spread their ideas by their large epistolary networks. The life story of De officio pii viri highlights the birth, expansion and failure of ideas; how they profit from the support of the mighty and how they fail when opposed by the uncompromising: those who think they speak in the name of God.
Family Wealth
The landmark book that changed the way exceptional families think about their heritage, their wealth, and their legacy to future generations--now revised and expanded. Every family, looking at the next generation, hopes to confer advantages that are more than just material and financial--to inculcate character and leadership, to inspire creativity and enterprise, to help all family members find and follow their individual callings, and to avoid the financial dependency and loss of initiative that can all too often be an unwanted consequence of financial success. Yet many families never succeed in realizing that vision, much less sustaining it for three, four, or five generations and beyond. ...
