Myth-busting, witty and thought-provoking, Edible Economics shows that getting to grips with the economy is like learning a recipe: if we understand it, we can change it - and, with it, the world. Explaining everything from the hidden cost of care work to the misleading language of the free market as he cooks dishes like anchovy and egg toast, Gambas al Ajillo and Korean dotori mook, Ha-Joon Chang serves up an easy-to-digest feast of bold ideas. For Chang, strawberries are delicious with cream, but they also prophesise a jobless future chocolate is a wonderful pudding, but more exciting are the insights it offers into post-industrial knowledge economies. Beginning each chapter with a menu, Chang uses the stories behind key ingredients - where they come from, how they are cooked and consumed, what they mean to different cultures - to explore economic theory. In Edible Economics, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside anecdotes about food from around the world. Just as eating a wide range of cuisines contributes to a balanced diet, so too is it essential we listen to a variety of economic perspectives. But this is bland and unhealthy - like British food in the 1980s, when bestselling author and Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang first arrived in the UK from South Korea. Economic thinking - about climate change, immigration, austerity, automation and much more - in its most digestible formįor decades, a single free market philosophy has dominated global economics.

She was a scriptwriter for the silent movie industry and had a brief career as one of the earliest female directors. She was the celebrated author of early 20th century bestsellers as It, Three Weeks, Beyond the Rocks, and other novels which were then considered quite racy, as tame as they might seem now. Elinor was schooled by her grandmother (a minor French aristocrat) which gave her an entrée into aristocratic circles on her return to Europe and led her to be considered an authority on style and breeding when she worked in Hollywood where she promoted the concept of the vamp. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important. She coined the use of It as a euphemism for sexuality, or sex appeal.

Elinor Glyn (1864-1943), born Elinor Sutherland, was an English novelist and scriptwriter who pioneered massmarket women's erotic fiction. Farmlands lie fallow and the soil is contaminated by toxins. Once the safest, most prosperous place on earth, the United States is now a lawless, scantly populated wasteland. Rich in its understanding of America's history and ethos, it is a paean to the human spirit. THE PESTHOUSE is Jim Crace's most compelling novel to date. Confronted by bandits rounding up men for slavery, finding refuge in the Ark, a religious community that makes bizarre demands on those they shelter, Franklin and Margaret find their wariness of each other replaced by deep trust and an intimacy neither one has ever experienced before. Tentatively, the two join forces and make their way through the ruins of old America. Inside he finds Margaret, a woman with a deadly infection and confined to the Pesthouse to sweat out her fever. In the woods near his temporary refuge, Franklin comes upon an isolated stone building. Franklin Lopez and his brother, Jackson, are only days away from the ocean when Franklin, nearly crippled by an inflamed knee, is forced to stop. Across the country, families have packed up their belongings to travel eastward toward the one hope left: passage on a ship to Europe. So Samuel gets a pistol he doesn’t know how to use or even load. He almost immediately stumbles across Jane who basically laughs at him and walks away. Even though he has absolutely no experience or training in law enforcement or as a bounty hunter, Samuel decides he’s going to capture her. Since she never called him again, Samuel felt justified in running her over with a car and breaking her leg shortly after that. There may be a personal revenge motive for Samuel in this because Jane is the girl who seduced him and took his virginity in high school. Desperate for cash, he blackmails his pervert cousin who runs a bail bonds agency into letting him go after a cop named Jane Morellie who was accused of murder and then skipped. So Samuel Plum is an underwear buyer for a retail store who has recently lost his job. It’s Gender Reversal Day here on Goodreads as I review One for the Money.

While the rest of the space-suited class follows the teacher like ducklings, one laggard carrying crayons and a sketchbook sits down to draw our home planet floating overhead, falls asleep, and wakes to see the bus zooming off. Left behind when the space bus departs, a child discovers that the moon isn’t as lifeless as it looks. Nevertheless, the showers of crust and fruit filling look delectable, and the illustrator tucks in plenty of amusing side business and sight gags.Īn extra helping for those readers who haven’t had their fill of the general premise. The story goes on a little too long and ends in a muddle-the goo turns out to be ordinary Martian rain, but the pie Grandpa serves to his grandchildren in the final scene comes from an interplanetary shipping carton that is somehow translated into reality from his dream solution of exporting fallen pies to Earth. They’re all the fruit-filled sort in Monés’ illustrations, which are closely modeled on Ron Barrett’s work in the previous two Cloudy episodes and sandwich color views of Martian cities and citizens between earthly scenes in crosshatched black and white. Grandpa falls asleep in his chair following news reports of astronauts greeted by a shower of goo on the red planet and dreams of being there himself, helping the green-skinned residents cope with barrages of falling pies. More edible precipitation-falling not on the town of Chewandswallow this time, but Mars, and timed to whet appetites for the second iteration of the film version of the franchise. |a Stosh travels back to 1969 to try to prevent the untimely death of Roberto Clemente, a legendary baseball player and humanitarian, but upon his return to the present, he meets his own great-grandson who takes him into the future, and what he finds there is more shocking than anything he has encountered in his travels to the past. |a DLC |c DLC |d IG# |d BTCTA |d JAO |d ABG |d JRS I loved the book, and the narrator is simply perfect. I found the political and domestic intrigue very interesting and absorbing. His beliefs and values are shaken by the implications of what happens in the course of the novel. The main character is committed to the new order and works for Cromwell. The setting is England during the reformation. I know nothing of the author's background, but I am convinced he is deeply knowledgeable about the period. For me, Sansom got it exactly right in that regard. The main character's rather modern sensibilities and values are made more credible by his physical disability, which casts him as an outsider in Tudor London. It is very difficult to balance historical authenticity and sympathetic characterisation. The characters, especially Matthew Shardlake, are beautifully drawn and believable. This audiobook was a wonderful experience. Declared an accident, the ruling can't explain the old book page covered with strange symbols and disturbing drawings left under Nora's doormat. Nora and her friends in the Secret, Book, and Scone Society are doing their best to put an end to the strife-but then someone puts an end to a life. Suddenly, former friends and customers are targeting not only Nora and Miracle Books, but a new shopkeeper, Celeste, who's been selling CBD oil products.
