Christmas Emporium
The original and distinctive work of miniaturist Sally Wallace is for the second time featured in her new book, Christmas Emporium; and the book is as luscious as her work itself. Working with some of the most talented specialized miniaturists in the world, Sally has composed an expansive and complete environment both inside and out, inspired by her love of Christmas and memories of years gone by when Christmas shops were as fun to visit as to actually purchase items. The exterior has windows in stained glass, two nutcrackers standing guard over the front door and 25 small doors on the outside that serve as a very special advent calendar, among other architectural delights.

Fiscal Decentralization and Local Finance in Developing Countries
This book draws on experiences in developing countries to bridge the gap between the conventional textbook treatment of fiscal decentralization and the actual practice of subnational government finance. The extensive literature about the theory and practice is surveyed and longstanding problems and new questions are addressed. It focuses on the key choices that must be made in decentralizing, on how economic and political factors shape the choices that countries make, and on how, by paying more attention to the need for a more comprehensive approach and the critical connections between different components of decentralization reform, everyone involved might get more for their money.
