The outline of modern macroeconomics took shape in Britain in the early nineteenth century thanks, in part, to David Ricardo, one of the most influential economists of the time. Britain was challenged by monetary inflation, industrial unemployment and the loss of jobs abroad. Ricardo pointed the way forward. As a financier and Member of Parliament, he was well versed in politics and commercial affairs. His expertise is shown by the practicality of his proposals, including the resumption of the gold standard, which was essential given the destabilizing policy of the Bank of England. Ricardo's expertise appears also in his debate with T. R. Malthus about whether an industrial economy can suffer a prolonged depression. Say's Law of Markets and the Quantity Theory of Money figure prominently in his works, but not in an extreme form. He was instead a subtle theorist, recognizing the non-neutrality of money, trade depressions and unemployment.

Successful sports agents are comfortable with high finance and intense competition for the right to represent talented players, and the most respected agents are those who can deal with the pressures of high-stakes negotiations in an honest fashion. But whereas rules and penalties govern the playing field, there are far fewer restrictions on agents. In The Business of Sports Agents, Kenneth L. Shropshire, Timothy Davis, and N. Jeremi Duru, experts in the fields of sports business and law, examine the history of the sports agent business and the rules and laws developed to regulate the profession. They also consider recommendations for reform, including uniform laws that would apply to all agents, redefining amateurism in college sports, and stiffening requirements for licensing agents.This revised and expanded third edition brings the volume up to date on recent changes in the industry, including:-the emergence and dominance of companies such as Creative Artists Agency and Wasserman Media Group-high-profile cases of agent misconduct, principally Josh Luchs, whose agent certification was revoked by the NFLPA-legal challenges against the NCAA that may fundamentally change the definition of amateurism-changes to agent regulations resulting from new collective bargaining agreements in all of the major professional sports-evaluation of the effectiveness of the Uniform Athlete Agents Act (2000) to regulate agent conduct-issues faced by the increasing number of agents representing athletes who work abroad as well as athletes from abroad who work in the United States.Whether aspiring sports agent, lawyer, athlete seeking an agent, or simply interested in understanding the world of sports representation, the reader will find in The Business of Sports Agents the most comprehensive overview of the industry as well as a straightforward analysis of its problems and proposed solutions.

This book is a comprehensive guide to Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD), also known as Intrathecal Drug Delivery (IDD), and offers an overview to this unique form of treatment. The medication is delivered by intrathecal pumps and is less common than some other techniques for interventional pain management, but is essential in conditions such as refractory pain, cancer pain, multifocal pain, severe spasticity, and in patients who are not candidates for surgical correction of their underlying condition.This book is the first source to describe both the optimal surgical implantation and patient management aspect of this therapy, and thus will be a valuable single reference guide for interventional radiologists, anesthesiologists, physiatrists, oncologists, neurologists, spine surgeons, palliative care physicians, and primary care physicians.

Why doesn't someone leave?It is one of the most common and most damaging questions asked about abusive relationships.How Safety Happens offers a different way of seeing.This book explores what people in abusive relationships actually do to survive, cope, protect themselves, and seek help while living under coercion, fear, uncertainty, and control.

It sheds light on the everyday decisions people make when their options are limited, their risks are real, and their well-being depends on navigating harm as carefully as possible.Inside, readers will discover:Why survival in abusive relationships often looks misunderstood from the outsideHow people create safety in ways others may never seeWhy coping strategies are often responses to danger, not weaknessWhat makes help-seeking so difficult, complex, and riskyHow coercive control shapes decision-making, identity, and self-trustWhy leaving is not always the beginning of safetyWritten with clarity, dignity, and deep respect for those living through abuse, How Safety Happens is for survivors, advocates, counselors, researchers, students, and anyone who wants to understand abuse more truthfully and respond to it more humanely.This is not a book about "e;why people stay."e;It is a book about how people survive.

What happens when childhood is filtered through screens, self-worth is measured in likes, and identity is built in public?In Growing Up Online: How Social Media and Screen Culture Are Shaping the Adolescent Mind, readers are taken inside one of the most profound psychological shifts of the modern age: what it means to come of age in a world where the internet is not a tool, but a habitat.Today's adolescents are growing up under conditions no previous generation has ever faced. Their friendships unfold in group chats. Their confidence rises and falls with notifications. Their sense of identity is shaped not only by family, school, and culture, but by algorithms, online comparison, digital performance, and the relentless pressure to stay visible, connected, and relevant.This compelling and deeply timely book explores how social media and screen culture are reshaping the teenage brain, emotional development, attention span, relationships, self-image, and mental health. From anxiety, loneliness, and cyberbullying to validation-seeking, digital dependency, and the silent erosion of offline resilience, Growing Up Online reveals the hidden psychological cost of living perpetually online.But this is not a book of panic or blame.It is a powerful, thought-provoking examination of how adolescents are adapting to a new social reality, and what parents, educators, mental health professionals, and society at large must understand if they hope to guide the next generation with wisdom rather than fear.Insightful, urgent, and impossible to ignore, Growing Up Online is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the emotional lives of young people in the digital era—and the future being shaped behind every screen.

What if the anxiety you feel about the climate crisis isn't a weakness… but a signal?A signal that you are paying attention.A signal that something, somewhere, is deeply out of balance.A signal that your mind is trying to make sense of a world that no longer fits the story you were told.In Eco-Anxiety, this powerful and deeply human response is brought out of the shadows and into the light. Blending cutting-edge psychological insight with raw, lived experience, this book reveals how climate change is not only transforming our planet but also quietly reshaping our inner worlds. Our thoughts. Our bodies. Our sense of the future.But this is not a book about despair.It is a book about understanding, and, ultimately, about possibility.With striking clarity and emotional depth, it unpacks why so many of us feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even numb in the face of environmental crisis. It explores how cultural pressures, political systems, and inherited beliefs amplify our distress, and why trying to "e;fix"e; eco-anxiety as an individual problem often makes things worse.And then, it offers something different.Drawing on bold, unconventional ideas and a radically compassionate perspective, Eco-Anxiety invites you to loosen rigid ways of thinking, reconnect with your body, and rediscover your sense of agency in a world that can feel uncontrollable. It shows how creativity, connection, and new ways of imagining the future can transform anxiety from a source of paralysis into a catalyst for meaning, action, and resilience.This is not a step-by-step guide or a set of easy answers.It is a companion for uncertain times.A map for navigating complexity.A reminder that even in a changing world, you are not alone, and you are not powerless.For anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the planet, Eco-Anxiety offers something rare and vital:A way to stay awake to reality… without losing yourself in it.

What if your phone is doing more than distracting you? What if it's shaping your identity, your relationships, and even your sense of right and wrong?In Hooked to the Machine, readers are taken beyond the usual debates about screen time, social media, and digital addiction into a deeper and more unsettling territory: the hidden ways technology is rewiring meaning, morality, and human connection.This powerful and timely book explores how smartphones and online life have become far more than tools. They now influence how we seek purpose, build relationships, cope with loneliness, define ourselves, and navigate the world. In a culture increasingly driven by algorithms, notifications, and endless digital stimulation, technology is no longer just changing what we do; it is changing who we are.Insightful, urgent, and deeply relevant, Hooked to the Machine is for anyone who has ever felt tethered to their phone, emotionally drained by social media, or haunted by the sense that something essential is being lost in the digital age.A bold, eye-opening book about the struggle to remain fully human in a world designed to keep us plugged in.

The Amazon is not just a forest. It is a force that shapes weather across continents, a living system that regulates the planet's breath, and it is slipping toward collapse.In The Breath of the World, the struggle for the Amazon unfolds as a sweeping global drama where politics, power, and survival collide. From the corridors of Brasília to the depths of Indigenous territories, from international climate summits to illegal frontiers carved into the rainforest, this is the story of one of the most consequential battles of our time.Here, presidents and protestors, scientists and shamans, corporations and communities all converge on a single question: who controls the future of the world's largest rainforest, and what is the cost of its destruction?This book traces decades of environmental policy, economic ambition, and resistance, revealing how decisions made in government offices ripple into fires, floods, and disappearing ecosystems. It follows Indigenous peoples who defend their lands with extraordinary resilience, environmental defenders who risk their lives, and global leaders who struggle to balance development with planetary limits.At once a political thriller, environmental history, and urgent warning, The Breath of the World exposes the fragile balance between progress and preservation. It shows how the fate of the Amazon is inseparable from the stability of the global climate, and how close that balance has come to breaking point.As the forest edges toward an uncertain tipping point, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: what happens in the Amazon does not stay in the Amazon.It becomes the weather.It becomes the economy.It becomes the future.

What drives millions of people to walk the same streets where victims once fled in terror… or to stand inches away from artifacts tied to real acts of violence?Tracing Evil: Inside the World of Serial Killers and Dark Tourism takes readers on a gripping journey into one of the most unsettling and fastest-growing phenomena of our time: the global fascination with crime, death, and the places where horror became history.From the fog-laced alleys of Victorian London, where the legend of Jack the Ripper was born, to the immersive museums of New Orleans and Turin, this book uncovers how stories of real-life killers have evolved into powerful cultural and commercial forces. What begins as tragedy is transformed, through media, myth, and memory, into something people seek out, experience, and even consume.This is not just a book about crime. It's a book about us, our curiosity, our fears, and our complicated relationship with evil.Provocative, immersive, and impossible to put down, Tracing Evil will change the way you see true crime, tourism, and the stories we tell about the darkest parts of human nature.

Now, as the modern world faces a crisis of meaning, mental health, and disconnection, this ancient medicine is emerging from the jungle shadows into global awareness.The jungle is calling. The medicine is waiting. Are you ready to listen?
