The Gold Standard at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

By the end of the nineteenth century, the world was ready to adopt the gold standard out of concerns of national power, prestige, and anti-English competition. Yet although the gold standard allowed countries to enact a virtual single world currency, the years before World War I were not a time of unfettered liberal economics and one-world, one-market harmony. Outside of Europe, the gold standard became a tool for nationalists and protectionists primarily interested in growing domestic industry and imperial expansion. This overlooked trend, provocatively reassessed in Steven Bryan's well-documented history, contradicts our conception of the gold standard as a British-based system infused wit...

Reducing carbon emissions from UK business

Reducing carbon emissions from UK business

The Climate Change Levy package is the second biggest element in the UK Climate Change Programme, and savings appear to have been significant; but were strongly front-end loaded and have eased off since soon after its introduction. The Levy will reduce annual UK CO2 emissions by 12.8 million tonnes by 2010. But these savings have come mainly from the effect its announcement had on raising awareness of the potential for energy savings, and most of these savings were the result of actions taken before the tax actually came into operation. The Levy itself has had relatively little effect on business emissions, especially in the case of SMEs and large but non-energy intensive organisations. The ...

Former intelligence operative and ex-Vietnam War soldier, social worker and teacher Tim Adams has spent five years in exile from both his time in Asia as well as an espionage mess that ended badly in San Francisco. When he was approached to assist a WWII veteran with "problems," he had no idea how deeply it would involve him in the wars he left behind. Set in the bucolic streets of Santa Monica, the humid back areas of Bangkok Chinatown, and in the skies over northern Burma, Adams dodges triad activists, CIA operatives and his own ghosts as he attempts to help retrieve a cargo of gold (and incriminating documents) from the "Hump," a pejorative term for the Himalayas. It is an action/adventure thriller that includes social commentaries on Southeast Asia, as well as a running battle that covers three countries and includes aerial combat.

Operation Kinetic

In the late 1990s, NATO led the Kosovo Force (KFOR), charged with stabilizing Kosovo and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia after genocide and other atrocities were carried out in the Balkan region. Operation Kinetic is not only a history of the origins and operations of the Kosovo Force but also a history of the vital operations conducted by the Canadian Army units and their allies assigned to KFOR during the crucial early days and months after entry into the province in 1999 and through 2000. Operating alongside American, British, French, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish forces, these surveillance and response units were instrumental in preventing violence in numerous areas before it could escalate and draw in the Serbian Army, which could have led to further genocide or war in the region. Sean M. Maloney, a Canadian military historian with extensive field experience in the Balkans, draws on numerous interviews and firsthand accounts of an operation that would later serve as a model in preparing for similar efforts in Afghanistan and provide a blueprint for stabilizing operations around the world.

The two halves of the well-received first Realm Hunter story arc (Pursuit of the Silver Dirk and Trail of the Elder Gods) are brought together in a single volume. Bear Waters, a simple bounty hunter from the magic-laden city of Northport, discovers the existence of parallel worlds as he pursues the Silver Dirk, a mad cultist bent on bringing the Elder Gods back to not only his world, but also at least four others. All in one volume, this volume includes the modern "police procedural" investigations of World One, the magical adventures of World Two, the two-fisted pulp action of World Three, the prehistoric adventures of World Four, and the mysterious World Zero, as well as the Lovecraft-inspired horrors that Bear and his friends must battle. Throughout his travels, Bear gathers an ever-growing collection of new friends and allies, and battles a more varied collection of enemies than he'd ever imagined.

In this thrilling conclusion to the tale begun in Realm Hunter: Pursuit of the Silver Dirk, bounty hunter Bear Waters and his friends face new obstacles against an ever-approaching deadline. The group just learned that the Silver Dirk Cult's ritual to summon the Elder Gods is to happen much sooner than they'd thought. Now, after dealing with their Troglodyte captors and fighting unexpected creatures, they travel to World Three to meet Dr. Nick Silver and his team of high-class adventurers. Along the way, Bear and his friends battle ghouls, dinosaurs, enemy soldiers, aliens, and much more, gathering yet more much-needed allies in their quest to stop the Silver Dirk Cult. But will even that be enough to prevent the Elder Gods from returning to the known worlds, destroying civilization and enslaving humanity?
