Green Rider

Green Rider 

By: Kristen Britain

The granite was cold and rough against the gray cloaked man’s palms. It was good, solid granite, from the bones of the earth itself. He traced barely perceptible seams between the huge blocks of the wall. It was the seams, he believed, that held the key. The key to the wall’s destruction. The wall towered above him to some unknown height. It was many feet thick, and it followed Sacoridia’s southern border for hundreds of miles, from the EastSeato UllemBayin the west. It protected Sacoridia and the rest of the lands from Kanmorhan Vane, which in the common meansBlackveilForest. The wall had endured for a thousand years. It had been built after the Long War at the turn of the First Age. For a thousand years, the denizens of the dark forest had grown restless, had festered, trapped behind the wall. [download]

Corporate Law and Economic Analysis

Corporate Law and Economic Analysis 

By: Lucian Arye Bebchuk

Drafts of all the articles in this volume were presented in a conference at HarvardLawSchoolin November 1986. The conference was sponsored by the Harvard Law School Program in Law and Economics. I wish to thank the John M. Olin Foundation which, through its generous grant to the Law and Economics Program, made possible the organization of the conference and the preparation of this volume. The purpose of the conference and of this volume has been to put together research work at the frontier of the economic analysis of corporate law, especially work on the main policy questions now confronting this area of the law. The last decade has brought certain corporate transactions and arrangements to the forefront of public attention and public debate. [download]

Depression in Primary Care

Depression in Primary Care

By: Simon Gilbody and Peter Bower

We both have a bit of a reputation as systematic reviewers, and a glance down our CVs means that we are guilty as charged. Frankly, it is not always the best reputation to have. Systematic reviews are sometimes seen as largely technical in nature, ignoring the complex and messy reality of healthcare delivery and reducing everything to a few calculations and a pretty graph. Th ey are also seen as the preserve of methodologically and statistically minded types, the sort of people who are excessively concerned with minutiae and routinely miss the wood while comprehensively searching for the best concealed trees. Part of the reason for creating this book was to show that reviews can be more than that – that it is possible to link the review process with complex policy issues, and to use the insights generated from reviews to assist in decision making in ways… [download]

Critical Practices in International Theory

Critical Practices in International Theory 

By: James Der Derian 

I have done my best over the course of a chequered academic career not to force a logical order upon a resistant past or to trim my ideas to fit a disciplinary conformity. Having now collected a diverse mix of journal articles, magazine essays, op-ed pieces, a book review and a one-act play, to be published under the pretense that works produced over the course of two decades might possibly add up to a coherent whole, I cannot help but feel complicit in a literary felony  and compelled to provide a defense. Adequate justification is hampered by the need to explain why these essays were written in the first place, entailing a shot-gun marriage of retrospection and introspection that I fear, like dream interpretation, would be much more convincing to the dreamer than the interpreter.

Conquer The Crash

Conquer The Crash

By: Robert R. Prechter

How many times over the past decade have you heard glowing reports about the “New Economy”? hundreds, maybe thousands of times, right? Those of you who have been living on a desert island of who are reading this book fifty years from now can experience the same thing vicariously through figure 1-1, which displays the accelerating frequency with which the global media have been referring to the “New Economy” year after year. It’s been everywhere. Economists celebrate the broadening “service economiy” and proclaim that economic growth in the new information Age has been “unprecedented” in its vibrancy, resilience and scope. Rhetoric is cheap. Evidence is something else. What would you say if you discovered that we have not had anything near a new economy, that all that talk is a lie? [download]

Dearest Pet on Bestiality

Dearest Pet on Bestiality 

By: Midas Dekkers

People love animal a stroke here. A pat there, a quick nuzzle in that gorgeous fun. The amount of cuddling they get is enough to make a person jealous. In Hollanddogs are petted more than people. Not as thoroughly, though: that one spot. Somewhere down below, generally remains untouched. The high regard in which love for animals is held is matched only by the fierceness of the taboo on having sex with them. Those who do give in to their impulses are soon as wallowing contemptibly in the mire. Hence, in spite of the dangling penises and the cries of females on heat. The eroticism of our dogs and eats is completely ignored. With these darlings we adopt the role not to lover, but of master or mistress. Yet however indecent. It does happen: sex with animals. The ultimate consequence of  love for them. Making love with them. [download]
