Though mankind has traded tangible goods for millennia, recent technology has changed the fundamentals of trade, in both legitimate and illegal economies. In the past three decades, the most advanced forms of illicit trade have broken with all historical precedents and, as Dark Commerce tells, now operate as if on steroids, tied to computers and social media. Author Louise Shelley examines how new technology, communications, and globalization fuel the exponential growth of dangerous forms of illegal trade and considers diverse ways of responding to this increasing challenge.

Not everyone is a natural when it comes to management. And yet, in many big companies and organizations, the “reward” for being a top performer and excelling in your current role is to be plunged into management—often with very little warning, and even less time to adjust to the vastly different job description and requirements. If this describes your situation, you’ll find strategies, solutions, and much-needed guidance in Mike Lerario’s second book, Management in Balance. In these pages, he outlines the four essential domains of management—Time, Material, Risk, and Change—...

Conversations on the Road to Emmaus depicts an incredible journey. Jesus walked and talked with two disciples on the Road to Emmaus after He was resurrected from the dead. It is quite intriguing to propose what Jesus said about Himself on that incredible day while on that incredible journey.

Jesus is referencing the Old Testament. The Word is explaining the Word.

What will America look like at the end of the 21st century? Will it be a "democracy" ruled by radical, American liberals, an autocracy ruled by Russian communists, or a theocracy ruled by Islamic extremists?

In Borderless Economics, Robert Guest, The Economist's business editor, travels through dozens of countries and 44 American states, observing how these networks create wealth, spread ideas and foster innovation.
