An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

'The master of suspense' Freida McFadden, New York Times-bestselling author of The Housemaid 'One of the finest suspense writers of her generation' S. A. Cosby, New York Times-bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed Some lies can save you. Some lies can break you... Twenty-five years ago in a small beachside town, a charming drifter met three inseparable teenage girls, Barb, Lorelai and Nicolette, at Wonderland, the local amusement park. Days later, Lorelai was found dead, her body surfacing in a flooded bog near where she was murdered. Now, Wonderland - the infamous site of murders by the serial killer dubbed The Carnival Killer - is about to reopen, revitalizing the dying town. With their past safely behind them, Barb and Nicolette have moved on with their lives. But when the Carnival Killer recants his confession about killing a high school girl, and a new body of a young woman washes ashore, the truth about what happened to Lorelei all those years ago - and what is happening now - threatens the very fabric of the town itself. ----------------------------------------------------------- Readers love Jennifer Hillier... 'CAPTIVATING! Right from the very beginning I was hooked' 'She literally blew my heart and mind away at the same time' '5 billion stars! I loved it so much' 'Had me reeling several hours after finishing it' 'Exactly the type of thriller that I LOVE...I can't tell you enough that you can't miss this one'

Studies in International Law

This open access book brings together scholars primarily from the Global South, rooted in critical legal traditions, who reflect on international law and its role in (re-)producing social hierarchies in times of crisis and catastrophe. How should legal scholars articulate critique in catastrophic times? Should critical voices tone it down, in favour of pragmatism, when faced with deteriorating social conditions, growing inequality, protracted violence, planetary collapse, authoritarianism and xenophobia? Or are they more urgently needed than ever? Critical scholarship has long warned of the limits of international law and its complicity with structures and relations of domination and the (re)production of social hierarchies. Yet, contemporary catastrophes have led to its revitalisation as a language of both expert counsel and political demand, drowning out calls for structural change for the sake of realism and stability. This book was inspired by two distinct, yet related, developments. One is the mobilisation of, and against, law by social movements representing the interests of distinct socially constructed groups facing crisis or catastrophe. The other is the reception of, and response to, such mobilisation by international law scholars and practitioners. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Sunday Telegraph 'Prepare to be dazzled' Malcolm Gladwell WITH A NEW FOREWORD CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SINCE PUBLICATION Assume nothing, question everything.

Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.

Reciprocity begins with a simple but unsettling question: why have we come to believe that human beings are naturally self-interested, competitive and acquisitive? This galvanising, perspective-shifting book dismantles the myth of Homo economicus to show us the way towards a world whose realities align with our true selves.Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, evolutionary biology, economics and social epidemiology, Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that the characteristics which we assume to be our human nature are in fact effects of the market societies we live in. He traces how various systems of exchange have created profoundly different forms of social life throughout the course of history, shaping our behaviours, motivations, and the kinds of people we become. Though it may often feel like it, the avarice and oppressions that defines the twenty-first century are not an unchangeable reality we simply have to live with.The book explains why inequality, status competition and consumerism hold so much power over us and reveals the depths to which these forces are entwined with the ever-rising crises of mental illness, political polarisation and environmental destruction. Rather than asking how we can make individuals behave better, it makes a compelling case for restructuring our societies to make life happier, meaningful and more fulfilling for one and all.Rigorously researched, bracingly practical and full of passion and hope in equal measure, Reciprocity offers a bold reinterpretation of the world we live in. It equips us with the necessary tools to look beyond and remake it in our very own, amiably human image.

Barbra 'Barbie' Jacobs may be the wrong side of forty, but she's still beloved by her fans. Typecast as a Scream Queen from her very first horror flick, Barb's always wanted to prove to herself that she's more than a 'final girl' - the prettiest one who somehow manages not to get chopped into tiny little pieces at the end of the movie. But now her wish might be coming true . . . In the bathroom at this horror convention Barb finds a cheerleader in the stalls covered in blood. How cliché. But this time, it's not from the props department - her throat's been ripped out. As the body count rises, Barb knows she has to play the part one last time if she's going to escape the deranged psycho serial killer who's murdering everyone around her. Barb Jacobs has had enough of people-pleasing. She is NOT dying in Barbie's Scream House. So if she makes it out, hell, she's having the fries. A hilarious and terrifying serial killer thriller jam-packed with classic horror tropes for anyone who loves Barbie, Scream Queens or Nightmare on Elm Street.

The Sustainable Value Creation of Nations

Elite Quality Report 2026

As head phoenix keeper at a world-renowned zoo for magical creatures, Aila's childhood dream of conserving critically endangered firebirds seems closer than ever. There's just one glaring caveat: her zoo's breeding program hasn't functioned for a decade. When a tragic phoenix heist sabotages the flagship initiative at a neighbouring zoo, Aila must prove her derelict facilities are fit to take the reins. But saving an entire species from extinction requires more than stellar animal handling skills. Carnivorous water horses, tempestuous thunderhawks, mischievous dragons... Aila has no problem wrangling beasts. Inspiring zoo patrons? That's another story. Mustering the courage to ask for help from the hotshot griffin keeper at the zoo's most popular exhibit? Virtually impossible. Especially when that hotshot griffin keeper happens to be her arch-rival from college: Luciana, an annoyingly brooding and insufferable know-it-all with the grace of a basilisk and the face of a goddess who's convinced that Aila's beloved phoenix would serve their cause better as an active performer rather than as a passive conservation exhibit. With the world watching and the threat of poachers looming, Aila's success is no longer merely a matter of keeping her job... She is the keeper of the phoenix, and the future of a species now rests on her shoulders. There's just one thing she has to remember: she is also not alone. Against an epic fantasy backdrop teeming with all your favourite mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper combines the cozy fantasy stakes of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree with the heartwarming contemporary romance of Alice Oseman and Casey McQuiston.

The Sunday Times bestselling magical zoo fantasy romance perfect for fans of Heather Fawcett and Elsie Silver by the author of Voidwalker

The Phoenix Keeper

'A forensic and furious book' NEW STATESMAN'The time has come to fight back, and reading Ruben Andersson's book provides a starting point'THE DAILY MAIL'Restoring politics to its rightful place in human life is perhaps our most urgent task' KENAN MALIK, THE OBSERVER________________________________What would you give up to feel safe?The security industry has captured our politics and our private lives. From rogue states to smart doorbells, someone is always keeping a watchful eye - and we're paying a heavy price. Oxford University anthropologist Ruben Andersson shows how Big Security rose to power, generating unprecedented profits while failing to protect us. In this page-turning dispatch from security's frontlines - across the divides separating political right and left and global rich and poor - he pursues police chiefs in Swedish suburbs, shelters with migrants in Mexico, bunkers down with peacekeepers in Mali and mingles with arms dealers in Paris.Everywhere, he finds that our shared obsession with security is an act of retreat: high walls, constant surveillance and punitive policies offer the illusion of control while fuelling paranoia and precarity. Every tracking app installed, border fortified, or emergency law passed makes us more fearful and less free. Our age of security is a dystopian response to political failure - but it's not too late to replace runaway security with a humanist vision where fear no longer controls us.Privacy, freedom, democratic control - we have already given up so much in the name of safety. But once we see how security has trapped us, we can start to break free.'This is not normal. It can be resisted. Find out how' ANTONY LOEWENSTEIN'Brilliantly thought-provoking' MARK GALEOTTI
