"So you see, Otto, behind every great fortune, lies a great crime," boasted Princess Zina Yusopov, the richest woman in Tzarist Russia. * * *Set in the turbulent second decade of the 20th century, Behind Every Great Fortune(R) is the first in a trilogy of historical fiction that brings to life the story of Otto Kahn, the international financier whose fortune was so great that he was immortalized as the iconic Monopoly (R) man. It captures the Gilded Era dramatized by the popular series, Downton Abbey.In a world spiraling toward global war, Otto Kahn plans the unthinkable. Two forces stand in his way - Naval intelligence officers led by Commander James "Strafe" Oliver and the legendary mad monk, Rasputin. Behind Every Great Fortune(R) bristles with espionage, sexual depravity, betrayal and ritual murder as it chronicles the first terror attack on New York City, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the murder of Rasputin, the Russian Revolution and the and the bloody devastation of WWI. Behind Every Great Fortune(R) adroitly weaves historical facts with colorful characters of the day such as Margaret Sanger, Vaslav Nijinsky, Prince Felix Yusopov and Mata Hari as the suspense builds to a bloody crescendo.At the end of the 20th century, Oheka Castle, Kahn's Gold Coast monument to wealth and decadence, has been ravaged by vandals. As modern-day developers attempt to save Oheka from the wrecking ball, they discover hidden passages, a mysterious bunker, and encrypted messages. Will they halt the razing of Oheka Castle in time, or will the secrets of how Otto Kahn amassed his great fortune be buried forever?As the 100th anniversary of these events approaches, Behind Every Great Fortune(R) presents a fresh look at the seminal events that shaped the world. According to one reviewer it is an ." . . exciting, imaginative novel with many scenes of high dramatic intensity."

'At a time when activists, elected officials, and concerned individuals should be countering these trends with demands for jobs, education and serious alternatives to imprisonment, there is relative silence. Criminal Injustice, which explores the connections between imprisonment, racism, class domination, misogyny, and homophobia, offers us invaluable information and compelling arguments for placing prison issues on the agenda of every progressive organization.' Angela Y. DavisThis remarkable anthology exposes and uncovers the economic and political realities behind the imprisonment of astounding numbers of the working class, working poor, and people of color.

Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes's The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as "Nice guys finish last," and "Play it again, Sam," but more surprising ones such as "Ain't I a woman?" and "Golf is a good walk spoiled," as well as the origins of popular sayings such as "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," "No one washes a rented car," and "Make my day." Keyes's in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. An invaluable resource for not just those with a professional need to quote accurately, but anyone at all who is interested in the roots of words and phrases, The Quote Verifier is not only a fascinating piece of literary sleuthing, but also a great read.

Climate change lends itself to both political economy and humor. Vogel argues that mainstream economics fails to recognize the thermodynamic nature of climate change, thereby missing the point of Northern appropriation of the atmospheric sink. The payment Ecuador seeks for not drilling in the Yasun is equitable and efficient. Heeding the call of Deirdre (formerly Donald) McCloskey that economics needs humour, Vogel has written a scathing critique of economics-as-usual which also entertains.
