Macro Mayhem: A Dia Fenner Economic Thriller

Dr. Lydia “Dia” Fenner is a newly minted PhD in economics who takes her first job with the U.S. Treasury Department. Her assignment is to design policies to get the economy out of its slump before the next election. But when the policies Dia recommends are implemented, they don’t work. Something underhanded is going on that wasn’t covered in her Ivy League education.

Dia enters a race against time as she tries to determine who, or what, is trying t o sabotage the economy. Along the way she must contend with a vengeful ex-boyfriend, an arrogant boss, an ambitious senator, and a mysterious, yet attractive, colleague. The action spans the halls of power in Washington, D.C., to the rolling hills of rural Virginia as Dia attempts to unravel the plot against the troubled economy.

Will she succeed, or will she too become a targetâ€"and a victim?

Macro Mayhem supplies the double punch of an entertaining story with insight into how the macroeconomy works. Economics, also known as the “dismal science,” has never been as much funâ€"or as dangerousâ€"as in this fast-paced thriller of financial intrigue.

The Idiot (Oneworld Classics Limited)

A new translation of one of the most brilliant achievements of Russian literature's Golden Age

 

Â"Only beauty can save the world,” proclaims the hero of The Idiot, perhaps Dostoevsky’s most personal and intense work of fiction. But in the brutally materialistic world of late 19th-century Petersburg, infested with greed and vulgarity, Prince Myshkin’s naive beliefs can o nly be the subject of mockery and ultimately lead to failure and tragedy. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters that covers the entire gamut of Russian society—from the arrogant rich merchant’s son Rogozhin and the beautiful but wanton Nastasya Filippovna to the student Kirillov, who aspires to become the man-God by killing himself—Dostoevsky’s masterpiece, brilliantly captured in this new translation, is a book that leaves a permanent mark on its readers’ minds.

Green Day: A Musical Biography (The Story of the Band)

Green Day is almost certainly the world's most popular pop-punk band. How they got there is the subject of Green Day: A Musical Biography, the first book to follow the band from their beginnings through the spring 2009 release of 21st Century Breakdown.

Tracing the band's evolution from fiercely independent punks to a global powerhouse, Green Day starts with the members' earliest musical in fluences and upbringing and the founding of the punk club 924 Gilman Street that shaped their sense of community. Discussion of their conflicted feelings about signing to a major label explores the classic rock 'n' roll conundrum of "selling out," while details of their decline and 2004 rebirth offer an inspirational story of artistic rejuvenation. Interviews with the band members and key figures in their lives, excerpted from punk 'zines and other publications, offer a perspective on their methods of self-promotion and the image they have chosen to project over time.

Alexander of Macedon 356-323 B.C.: A Historical Biography





Until recently, popular biographies and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. 14 maps and 2 tables.There's no shortage of biographies available on Alexander the Great, but Peter Green's Alexander of Macedon is one of the finest. The prose is crisp and clear, and within a few pages readers become absorbed in the world that made Alexander, and then the story of how Alexander remade it. Green writes, "Alexander's true genius was as a field-commander: perhaps, taken all in all, the most incomparable general the world has ever seen. His gift for speed, improvisation, variety of strategy; his cool-headedness in a crisis; his ability to extract himself from the most impossible situations; his mastery of terrain; his psychological ability to penetrate the enemy's intentions--all these qualities place him at the very head of the Great Captains of history."

A stunning graphic adaptation of one of the most famous, contested, and important books of all time.

Few books have been as controversial or as historically significant as C harles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Since the moment it was released on November 24, 1859, Darwin’s masterwork has been heralded for changing the course of science and condemned for its implied challenges to religion.

In Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, author Michael Keller and illustator Nicolle Rager Fuller introduce a new generation of readers to the original text. Including sections about his pioneering research, the book’s initial public reception, his correspondence with other leading scientists, as well as the most recent breakthroughs in evolutionary theory, this riveting, beautifully rendered adaptation breathes new life into Darwin’s seminal and still polarizing work.

Question by David: How much lesson planning do high school teachers do?

I plan on teaching math next year, and my girlfriend (an elementary education major) tells me that I will need to spend hours planning each step of my lessons. As a business major, I wonder why not just buy a book with lesson plans already written (rather than reinventing the peel year after year) and adapting it if I need to.

Is this allowed? Are high school math teachers to produce original lesson plans? Why? Especially since math doesn't exactly change much year to year, so, why write lesson plans instead of buying them?

The Baseball Economist: The Real Game Exposed





Freakonomics meets Moneyball in this provocative exposé of baseball’s most fiercely debated controversies and some of its oldest, most dearly held myths

Providing far more than a mere collection of numbers, economics professor and popular blogger J.C. Bradbury, shines the light of his economic thinking on baseball, exposing the power of tradeoffs, competition, and incentives. Utilizing his own “sabernomic” approach, Bradbury dissects baseball to pics such as:
• Did steroids have nothing to do with the recent homerun records? Incredibly, Bradbury’s research reveals steroids probably had little impact.
• Which players are ridiculously overvalued? Bradbury lists all players by team with their revenue value to the team listed in dollarsâ€"including a dishonor role of those players with negative valuesâ€"updated in paperback to include the 2007 season.
• Does it help to lobby for balls and strikes?

Statistics alone aren’t enough anymore. This is a refreshing, lucid, and powerful read for fans, fantasy buffs, and playersâ€"as well as coaches at all levelsâ€"who want to know what is really happening on the field.

Question by redshirt34: What's the difference between fiction, mass market fiction, and trade fiction?

When I read book lists in newspapers and magazines it has different types of books. For example one list would be mass market fiction and another list will just be fiction.




Best answer:

Answer by Cathy S
The terms "mass market" and "trade" refer to paperback book sizes. Mass market paperbacks are the small ones (approximate 4.25 inches wide and 6.75 inches high). Trade paperbacks are usually the same size as a hardcover edition but have soft covers.

The reason to separate them in something like a b est-seller list would be that the mass market editions are cheaper than the trade editions, which are cheaper than the hardcover editions, so sales figures will be different depending on the edition. A lot of my friends will wait (about a year) for a book to come out in paperback instead of buying the hardcover.

A little chick shows that he can make the sounds of the animals in his neighborhood.This little chick has a lot to say. Making the rounds on the farm one day, our fine, feathered friend learns to mimic all his barnyard buddies, from pigs to frogs to cows:

This little chick from over the way
went to laze with the cows one day.
And what do you think they heard him say?
Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo

Young readers will love predicting what sounds the feisty chick will make next as he swims, jumps, and skips his way through the day. And everyone will be as ready as he is to curl up for a much-needed rest when he finally returns home to his mom to share all he has learned. John Lawrence\'s take on a traditional rhyme is enhanced by his eye-catching illustrations, made with vinyl engravings, printed wood textures, and watercolor washes. Especially marvelous are the black sheep frolicking in their curly, swirly wool coats. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter
