The only way to succeed at anything is to manage true risk, which includes the chance of loss. While most commentators say that the last financial crisis proved it's time to follow risk-minimizing techniques, they're wrong. Red-Blooded Risk examines this approach and offers valuable advice for the calculated risk-takers who need precise quantitative guidance that will help separate them from the rest of the pack. The same practical techniques are still used today by risk-takers in finance as well as many other fields. This is the secret that lets tiny quantitative edges create hedge fund billionaires, and defines the powerful modern global derivatives economy. An innovative guide that identifies what distinguishes the best financial risk takers from the restįrom 1987 to 1992, a small group of Wall Street quants invented an entirely new way of managing risk to maximize success: risk management for risk-takers. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true. Fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, she is trying to piece together a life for them in a small town far off the beaten track. While they are falling headlong in love, Beverly is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Pete Beach, Florida, seeking a rare break from his duties at home.īut when he meets Morgan Lee, his world is turned upside-down, making him wonder if the responsibilities he has shouldered need dictate his life forever. Now the head of a small family farm in North Carolina, he spontaneously takes a gig playing at a bar in St. Colby Mills once felt destined for a musical career, until tragedy grounded his aspirations. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. debut almost fifty years ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. She can lounge on the sofa, daydreaming, stuffing herself with cakes and biscuits and watching romantic films on TV non-stop. By ignoring the horrors below she might pretend that nothing sinister is happening. She is not entirely stupid, yet she has convinced herself to keep herself to herself and ignore her brother's secret activities in the cellar. Marion lives a life of an amoeba, or even a parasite, who eats, sleeps and daydreams. Everyone including her nearest neighbour takes advantage of her. She has been cruelly taunted and bullied at school (the narrative shifts from the present to past, and back to the present). She sleeps surrounded by her teddies, and on the surface of it, has been victimised by her overbearing family. Marion Zetland is a shy spinster in her fifties, who lives with her older brother. The Visitors by Catherine Burns (Legend Press) is a creepy, disturbing and upsetting Gothic tale of our times. Mehmet urges his troops on by reminding them of the three days of looting they will be allowed should they capture the city, and he inspires his commanders not only with the promise of booty, but also by stressing their sacred duty as Muslims to vanquish this famous Christian capital.Īnd indeed, once Constantinople is taken, the story of the city becomes one of plunder and depredation. The Byzantine emperor Constantine Palaiologos tells his soldiers that a man should always be prepared to die for his faith or country, his family or sovereign but now, he says, we are being asked to give up our lives for all four while Mehmet’s words to his forces are in stark contrast to the heroism and dignity of the Greek emperor. The speeches made by the Greek and Turkish leaders on the eve of the decisive assault reveal what the two sides believed they were fighting for. Warlord, Sultan Mehmet, frustrated by the resistance of the Greeks, ignoring the advice of some of his commanders to lift the siege and avert further humiliation, decided to make one, final overwhelming attack to take the city.

It was not until 1993, however, that this novel was translated into English.

But, as he approached forty, he felt that his master plan wasn’t panning out-where was his Benjamin Braddock, his Michael Corleone? By his mid-thirties, after fifteen years of hustling in the industry, he’d had minor roles in a string of A-list films: “Lincoln,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Selma,” and “The Big Short.” He’d played a staffer in both the nineteenth-century White House and the twenty-first-century C.I.A. By his early twenties, he had worked for all three men, and had adopted elements of their full-immersion acting methods. He read interviews that his heroes gave and, later, managed to get crew jobs on their movies. When Jeremy Strong was a teen-ager, in suburban Massachusetts, he had three posters thumbtacked to his bedroom wall: Daniel Day-Lewis in “My Left Foot,” Al Pacino in “Dog Day Afternoon,” and Dustin Hoffman in “Rain Man.” These weren’t just his favorite actors: their careers were a road map that he followed obsessively, like Eve Harrington casing out a trio of Margo Channings. With the help of de-aged JB and Angela, he has to collect the clues. Jonah is the only one left, and the only one who can save everyone. And worst of all, Jonah's parents and all the other adults in his town have de-aged into children. Chip, Andrea, and all the other children from the plane have disappeared too. Jonah can hardly believe his eyes-and then Lindbergh grabs Katherine and vanishes again. After a mysterious appearance by Charles Lindbergh, it's up to Jonah to save his town in the seventh book of the New York Times bestselling The Missing series, which Kirkus Reviews calls "plenty of fun and great for history teachers as well." It's morning as usual at the Skidmore household-until Charles Lindbergh, the famous historical pilot, appears in their living room.
