从现金的结束到加密货币的崛起，金融创新将如何改变世界经济。 当前，金融世界正处于一个颠覆性变革时代的黎明，这将影响到公司、银行家、政府，甚至是我们所有人。货币的转变将会重写普通人的生活方式，而允许我们随时随地行银行和金融交易的智能手机，似乎也只是快速变化的金融格局的一小部分特征。 在书中，作者预见驱使实物现金结束的不是手机或信用卡，而是在加密货币出现后，需要发更稳定的数字货币的中央银行。同时探讨了随着像脸书和亚马逊这样的公司加，加密货币本身将会发生什么不可预测的变化。这些创新与变化如同滚雪球般正在重塑金融领域，彻底地改变我们的投资、贸易、保险和管理。此外，书中还探讨了“纸币何时会消失”“金融变革的利弊”“全球金融一体化”等话题。 书中展示了这些变化将如何重新定义货币的概念，如何将其传统功能分解为账户单位、交换媒介和价值存储等形式。可以说《金钱的未来》是一部清晰、有远见的作品，它展示了如何限度地发挥事物作用，防止坏的事情发生。

1789年，法国大革命一声炮响，为世界送来了现代民族主义。与法国近在咫尺的意大利半岛马上感受到了这股风潮。1796年，为了对付奥地利在意大利的盟友，拿破仑率军半岛。自此，意大利民族国家的建构成了意大利知识精英和政治精英优先考虑的议题。 彼时，意大利半岛政治破碎。北部是名义上属于神圣罗马帝国的各个小邦，中部是教皇国，南部是波旁家族治下的两西西里王国，东北部还有独立的威尼斯共和国。1802年，拿破仑在半岛北部成立意大利共和国。可法国的真正目的并不是帮助意大利建国，而是掠夺意大利的财富。1815年拿破仑倒台后，意大利重新回到四分五裂的状态。 不过，旧势力的复辟挡不住意大利民族主义的流行。威尔第的歌剧、曼佐尼的小说、莱奥帕尔迪的诗歌和阿耶兹的画作仍在启蒙着人民。马志尼等革命者仍在不断发动革命，企图以自下而上的方式统一意大利。可是，革命不成，启蒙太慢。意大利精英终选择了由皮埃蒙特—撒丁王国领导意大利统一运动。1861年，在拿破仑三世的帮助下，经过一系列战争，意大利王国宣告成立。 然而，意大利只是实现了政治统一，并未实现精神统一。人民的民族认同依然淡薄，地区之间尤其是南北之间的裂痕并未弥合，加上工业化导致的阶级斗争等新问题，意大利并未因统一而再次伟大。为了摆脱困境，意大利滑向了对外扩张和法西斯统治的邪路，在二战中历经劫难。 二战后，意大利通过加欧共体实现了经济飞跃。如今，它是发达国家俱乐部G7的成员，拥有菲亚特等一批国际知名企业。但同时，黑手党在南方依然活跃，主张分离的政党北方联盟声势日大，人们始质疑统一，意大利仍然是个未完成的民族国家。 本书紧紧围绕“意大利民族国家建构”这个主题，以知识分子和政治家建构国家、凝聚国民的努力为主线，从拿破仑时代一直讲到贝卢斯科尼当政，书写了一首现代意大利国家从诞生到崛起、从沉沦到重生的命运史诗！

Chuck Puckman, Lorraine Nadia, and Frederick Keane came of age in the late 1960s. Like that era, their lives were mysterious, idealistic, passionate, even romantic—but ultimately confused and often ineffectual. More than thirty years later, their youthful adventures continue to have ramifications: Chuck faces prosecution after an industrial accident at his family business, Lorraine's daughter is searching for the father she never knew, and Frederick has gone underground after his radical life spiraled out of control. Epic in scope and touching on such provocative issues as Patty Hearst and the SLA, crime and the possibility of redemption, and the search for self and the meaning of life, Backward-Facing Man is a novel about choices and their lasting effects on people's lives, their families, and American society.

You know things are bad when your dreams come with a washed-up '80s soundtrackHenry "Hen" Birnbaum's sister, Sarah, missing for over a year, has come home unexpectedly, with no explanation at all. But he can't leave well enough alone; Hen needs to figure out why she disappeared, even if she won't tell him. It's not like he has anything better to do. His girlfriend just dumped him and kicked him out of their band. He can't play the bass worth crap anyway.

Truth be told, they were mostly in it for the money On February 13, 2003, a plane carrying three American military contractors on a recon patrol crash-landed in the jungle-covered mountains of Colombia. Within minutes, FARC guerrillas swarmed the wreckage and killed the American pilot and a Colombian crew member as they tried to escape. The survivors Marc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell, and Thomas Howes were marched at gunpoint into the rain forest. They would live in constant darkness under the jungle canopy as they faced starvation, fights with fellow hostages, and threats of execution often with their necks shackled together.The Colombian government sent 147 soldiers to rescue the Americans. Led by a bold yet corpulent lieutenant, the troops spent weeks subsisting on monkey meat and Amazon rodents as they chased the guerrillas deeper into the jungle. But then a soldier on a bathroom break stuck his machete into the ground and pulled out 20 million pesos, equaling $7,000. Pretty soon, the young, poor, and exhausted troops realized they had stumbled upon a buried rebel cache of $20 million. Within three days, the GIs burned through their newfound fortune, splurging on booze, sex, and flat-screen televisions. And though the money brought pleasure, for many of the soldiers it would end in criminal prosecution or even death by FARC hit men.Law of the Jungle places the Colombian hostage story in its full context by exploring the inner workings of the FARC, the U.S.-backed war on drugs, and Colombia's efforts to free the rebel-held prisoners. John Otis, a veteran journalist on the Latin American beat, spins an edge-of-your-seat adventure narrative that offers a shocking cautionary tale about the pursuit of fortune in one of the world's most dangerous places.

Like the better-known Mitfords, the Garman sisters took center stage in Bohemian London during the first half of the twentieth century. Beautiful, flamboyant, and headstrong, they broke away from middle-class conventions, seducing and inspiring a generation of artists. Kathleen, an enigmatic artist's model and aspiring pianist, was the lover and, later, wife of controversial American-born sculptor Jacob Epstein. Mary married the maverick poet Roy Campbell, whose verse attack on the Bloomsbury group following Mary's affair with Vita Sackville-West was the literary scandal of the epoch. Lorna, the youngest and most beautiful of the sisters, was the lover of both the painter Lucian Freud and the poet Laurie Lee.The Rare and the Beautiful offers the first portrait of a beguiling band of eccentric siblings who possessed an uncanny ability to turn heads, break hearts, and spark creative genius. Set against the exciting backdrop of London's decadent subculture, it evokes their extraordinary milieu of high culture, drama, and scandal.

They Think Obama Isn't an American Citizen.They Think Obama Wants to Put Americans in Concentration Camps.They Think Obama Is the Anti-Christ.This Isn't Just the Tea Party Welcome to the Backlash. In November 2008, the election of Barack Obama was supposed to usher in a new age of hope, optimism, and postpartisan politics. Instead it provoked unparalleled anger on the far right that eventually twisted important national discussions and pushed ideas from the conservative fringe into the mainstream media. In the ensuing months, countless pollsters and reporters have tried to understand the heart of this mob that appeared so suddenly, but none of them has successfully accounted for the hard-right movement's rapid growth or explained the hidden connections between its parts. Until now.In this gripping expose, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Will Bunch reveals the secrets behind the crusade against Obama, exploring how forces like radical militia groups, the Tea Party, pro-gun zealots, and Glenn Beck have combined old-fashioned populist outrage with digital-age phobias to produce a wave of resentment that many have ridden straight to the bank. Pulling back the curtain on the paranoid politicsof a new generation, Bunch shows how events such as the election of America's first African-American president, the economic recession, the rise of social networking, and the phenomenon of Glenn Beck have created a dangerous political moment that poses legitimate risks to democracy in America. From conspiracy theorists to secessionists, birthers to "independent" Tea Partiers, Bunch illuminates the ties among this new array of groups. Going beyond easy caricature, he strips away layers of rhetoric to reveal politicians like Paul Broun, who, as one of the most extreme members of Congress, works as hard for right-wing ideologues as he does for his economically battered constituents, and groups like the Oath Keepers, a fast-growing, ultraradical organization that spreads unsubstantiated fears of Obama confiscating guns and placing U.S. citizens in concentration camps. In addition, Bunch exposes the opportunists who have embraced a new brand of apocalyptic fearmongering, which has made them millions but has also led to the widespread paranoia that has helped fuel a rise in antigovernment violence.The end result shows the true stakes of this political perfect storm, demonstrating how the anger of the far right now threatens to consume America. Powerful, shocking, and thought-provoking, The Backlash is a controversial look at where our democracy is and where it may be heading.

The Real Story of the ExodusColin Humphreys, a world-renowned Cambridge University scientist, reveals for the first time the concrete, scientific truth behind the Exodus miracles. The Burning Bush: Caused by a volcanic vent that opened up under the bush. Crossing the Red Sea: The water was pushed back by a very strong wind blowing all night. This is a known physical phenomenon called wind setdown. The details given in the Bible mean we can pinpoint where the Red Sea crossing occurred. Drowning Pharaoh's Army: When the very strong wind suddenly stopped blowing, the water rushed back in the form of a rapidly returning "bore" wave, sweeping Pharaoh's army into the sea. Mount Sinai: The real Mount Sinai is in present-day Saudi Arabia, not the Sinai Desert as is generally assumed.
