Summary:

The day Jillian Conner caught her husband smearing her award-winning frosting on his mistress's cupcakes was the day she adopted her man-free diet. Including the insatiable flirt who is renting the summerhouse next door. So when her too-sexy-for-words neighbor decides to take a midnight swim-in nothing but his tanned and muscled glory-Jillian tells herself there's no harm in looking, as long as she doesn't sample. Because this single girl in the city-a local cupcake goddess, who just received an order for a seven-tier wedding cake-already has her hands full. She could use another set of ovens-but skinny dipping with the most notorious player in the NFL is a bad move.

After a serious injury, superstar running back Clay Easton, knows the only way he can prepare for the pre-season is absolute focus. So he trades in the noisy grind of city life for the tranquility of nature and rents a house in a sleepy community on the outskirts of Portland. All he needs is a pool, a gym, and some room to breathe. One solid month of uninterrupted rehab is the only thing standing between him and the game. Except, his distraction-free plan has one snag: the sexy single mom next door who watches him from her kitchen window. Before long, Clay can't help but wonder where all that watching will lead. After all, he's never been good with sitting on the sidelines . . .

Title: Hall of Mirrors: The Great Depression, the Great Recession, and the Uses-and Misuses-of History

Author: Barry Eichengreen

Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22:02:45

Language: English

Release date: 05-17-22

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics, History, Politics, World, Public Policy

Summary:

The two great financial crises of the past century are the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Great Recession, which began in 2008. Both occurred against the backdrop of sharp credit booms, dubious banking practices, and a fragile and unstable global financial system. Pain and suffering were widespread.

The question, given this, is why didn't policymakers do better? Hall of Mirrors, Barry Eichengreen's monumental twinned history of the two crises, provides the farthest-reaching answer to this question to date. Alternating back and forth between the two crises and between North America and Europe, Eichengreen shows how fear of another Depression following the collapse of Lehman Brothers shaped policy responses on both continents. Having done too little to support spending in the 1930s, governments also ramped up public spending this time around. The result has been a grindingly slow recovery in the United States and endless recession in Europe.

Hall of Mirrors is both a major work of economic history and an essential exploration of how we avoided making only some of the same mistakes twice. It shows not just how the 'lessons' of Great Depression history continue to shape society's response to contemporary economic problems, but also how the experience of the Great Recession will change how we think about the Great Depression.

Summary:

Set in a world on the edge of an apocalyptic flood, this heart-stopping romantic fantasy debut is perfect for fans of Rachel Hartman and Rae Carson.

In a world bound for an epic flood, only a chosen few are guaranteed safe passage into the new world once the waters recede. The Kostrovian royal court will be saved, of course, along with their guards. But the fate of the court's Royal Flyers, a lauded fleet of aerial silk performers, is less certain. Hell-bent on survival, Principal Flyer, Natasha Koskinen, will do anything to save the flyers, who are the only family she's ever known. Even if 'anything' means molding herself into the type of girl who could be courted by Prince Nikolai. But unbeknownst to Natasha, her newest recruit, Ella Neves, is driven less by her desire to survive the floods than her thirst for revenge. And Ella's mission could put everything Natasha has worked for in peril.

As the oceans rise, so too does an undeniable spark between the two flyers. With the end of the world looming, and dark secrets about the Kostrovian court coming to light, Ella and Natasha can either give in to despair . . . or find a new reason to live.

Police Inspector Lu Fei has an unfortunate talent for getting himself into hot water with powerful and well-connected people. Which is why he's been assigned to a backwater town in a rural area of Northern China and quietly warned to keep his head down. But while running a sting operation on the sale and consumption of rare and endangered animals, Lu comes across the curious case of a waitress who has gone missing. Her last known whereabouts: a restaurant frequented by local elites, owned by smooth-talking gangster, and known for its exotic-and highly illegal-delicacies.

As usual, Lu's investigation ruffles some feathers, resulting in his suspension from the police force. Lu figures he's reached a dead-end. Then he's contacted by a mysterious government official in Beijing who wants him to go undercover to track down the mastermind behind an illegal animal trafficking network-and hopefully, the answer to the fate of the missing waitress. The mission will require Lu to travel deep into the lawless wilds of Myanmar, where he will risk his life to infiltrate the hidden compound of a mysterious and ruthless female warlord in a bloody and nearly hopeless quest for justice.
