A radical anti-capitalist alternative to Eurozone austerity On the 25th January 2015 the Greek people voted in an election of historic importance—not just for Greece but potentially all of Europe. The radical party Syriza was elected and austerity and the neoliberal agenda is being challenged. Suddenly it seems as if there is an alternative. But what? The Eurozone is in a deep and prolonged crisis. It is now clear that monetary union is a historic failure, beyond repair—and certainly not in the interests of Europe’s working people. Building on the economic analysis of two of Europe’s leading thinkers, Heiner Flassbeck and Costas Lapavitsas (a candidate standing for election on Syriza...
This is Jay Hulme's first published collection of poetry. It showcases his unique voice and form of expression. The poems have been carefully selected to chart Jay's journey from growing up in a working-class family in Leicestershire to his feelings and thoughts about school life and his experience as a transgender teenager. As Jay says himself: When it was decided that this collection would be for teenagers I was left with this determination, that this collection wouldn't speak down to anyone, that the world I portrayed within it would be the world we live in, that there would be no attempt to make reality 'appropriate for children'. People seem to forget that teenagers live in the same world as everyone else, and they face the same struggles adults face every day. Teenagers deal with racism and sexism and disability and poverty and so much more that we don't even see. The things that are traditionally seen as inappropriate for young people to see, are so often the same things they experience day to day.
Beneath the glare of three purple suns, three travelers - an old Mexican woman, an automated jeep, and a brontosaurus - have trudged across a desert for hundreds of years. They do not know if the desert has an end, and if it does, what they might find there. Sometimes they come across perfectly-preserved cities, but without a single inhabitant, and never a drop of rain. Worse still, they have no memory of their lives before the desert. Only at night, in dreams, do they recall fragments of their past identities. But night also brings the madness of the sandstorms, which jolt them out of one body and into another in a game of metaphysical musical chairs. In their disorientation and dysfunction...

Spynx, Kentucky A small, mysterious town that serves as the common meeting ground for a trio of boys who have never seen each other anywhere but in their dreams. Tray Baker has a demon living under his bed. Kane Trent hasn't spoken a word in six months. Gamble York has just been pushed from a moving car. These are just small distractions to overcome in preparation for the final battle with their worst fear. Strangers, yet closest friends, they must discover how to grab hold of their fear and drain all of its energy before the fear feeds and grows from their own terror. Together, yet alone, they must defeat the unknown that waits behind the closed door. "There are many doors in life. Doors that you must open in order to mature and enter the next stage in life. Once you open a door, it changes you forever and there's no closing it again. Some doors are unlocked. Some doors require you to find the key to unlock. And sometimes, you open a door that you wish you could lock back and never look upon again." When the summer begins, life will never be the same for the troika.
This book provides a personal history of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and its remarkable rise, starting from 2003, into the ranks of the top universities in the world as a leading Asian university and the youngest (less than 50 years old) to have achieved this status. It describes the role of the leadership team of Su Guaning, Haresh Shah, and Bertil Andersson, which together formed the 'Troika'. It provides a record of NTU's growth and how it came about through a root and branch reform of the university executed, with the support of the Singapore Government and the NTU Board of Trustees, by the Troika, to become such a prominent academic institution.
If James Bond had a slightly eccentric younger sister; if Eloise had outgrown the Plaza and joined a kidnap and ransom outfit; if Carrie Bradshaw had trained as a secret service agent, they might have been like the fearless Stevie Duveen. Tiny as a bird but sharp as an ice pick, Stevie flits between megawatt celebrities, Russian assassins, and tea times with her indomitable grandmother Didi. As Hazard's unlikeliest risk assessor, Stevie travels to Moscow in the heart of winter on the most unusual of assignments. The young daughter of the Head of the Russian Central Bank, Anya Kozkov, has been kidnapped and no one is above suspicion. Stevie is finds herself on a wild quest to get her back alive.

Determined to find the missing girl against all odds, Stevie's hunt soon becomes a battle of wits against some of Russia's most dangerous and powerful men.
