A Brush with the Enemy
Yvette Dubois fakes works of art. She’s good at it. Ex WW2 Nazi officer Rutger Dahl is a collector of Fine Art and knows a forgery when he sees it. He’s looking at one his aide collected from a Paris dealer. He’s out a cool $200,000 and looking for revenge. Having hunted down the dealer, he wants the artist. Dahl finds their paths crossed in World War 2 France when she worked for Churchill’s SOE. An abduction to his private island in the Mediterranean follows, but so does help in the form of two Allied Forces airmen.

German War Planning, 1891-1914
Germany's Schlieffen Plan of the First World War is much talked of but little understood. Translations of primary sources recently available clarify the issues involved. The great deficiency in the discussion of German war planning prior to the Great War has been the dearth of reliable primary sources. Practically nothing was made public before the German Reichsarchiv was destroyed in April 1945, and this problem is compounded for Anglophone historians by the fact that the most interesting secondary literature was printed in German periodicals in the early 1920s. This book makes available in English translationmany of the documents concerning German war planning before 1914 that survived the...
The Economics of Irving Fisher
This compilation of 14 essays presented at a May 1997 conference of the Irving-Fisher-Gesellschaft to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fisher's death, commemorates and evaluates his work from a modern perspective. The book begins with an introduction to Fisher's personal life, and includes correspondence and an overview of his contributions to the economics profession. Later chapters consider some of the major topics Fisher most notably influenced, such as macroeconomics and the quantity theory; the management of monetary policy and reform of the monetary system; debt-deflation and the Great Depression; capital, income and the rate of interest; and his policy advice to the government.

Art and Labour
This book provides a new history of the changing relationship between art, craft and industry focusing on the transition from workshop to studio, apprentice to pupil, guild to gallery and artisan to artist. Responding to the question whether the artist is a relic of the feudal mode of production or is a commodity producer corresponding to the capitalist mode of cultural production, this inquiry reveals, instead, that the history of the formation of art as distinct from handicraft, commerce and industry can be traced back to the dissolution of the dual system of guild and court. This history needs to be revisited in order to rethink the categories of aesthetic labour, attractive labour, alienated labour, nonalienated labour and unwaged labour that shape the modern and contemporary politics of work in art.
