A. Beckett, Abbott Gilbert
The Comic History of Rome

1996 y.
Publisher: Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers
Description: In creating The Comic History of Rome, Gilbert Beckett was, in his own words `prompted by a very serious desire to instruct those who, though willing to acquire information, seek to do so with as much amusement as possible.` Underlying his humorous presentation is an earnest desire to `expose falsehood, and to bring into merited contempt all that has been injudiciously, ignorantly, or dishonestly held up to general admiration.` Beckett portrays prominent characters and events of Roman history and legend from the founding by Romulus and Remus to the death of the republic in this superbly executed example of the time-honored tradition of political satire. Includes: 10 steel engravings, 98 wood engravings. Political parody is nearly as old as the written word, in modern times it has become a career choice. Beckett`s work is a superb sample of the art form. The Comic History of Rome features - A hilarious, thoroughly memorable account of Roman History - 10 steel engravings + 98 wood… [detailed...]

Description: The dollar is in trouble. It has fallen against other currencies for the past three years, and now its orderly retreat could well become a rout. This spells potential disaster for the American economy—and potential riches for a few smart investors. In The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It , financial gurus James Turk and John Rubino show how the dollar arrived at this precipice, why it will plunge, and how you can profit from the resulting financial crisis.

Our trade deficit with other countries is staggering, and to finance this mountain of debt we’re flooding the world with dollars.

Description: This paperback edition of The Coming Generational Storm has been revised and updated and includes a new foreword by the authors. In 2030, as 77 million baby boomers hobble into old age, walkers will outnumber strollers, there will be twice as many retirees as there are today but only 18 percent more workers. How will Social Security and Medicare function with fewer working taxpayers to support these programs? According to Laurence Kotlikoff and Scott Burns, if our government continues on the course it has set, we`ll see skyrocketing tax rates, drastically lower retirement and health benefits, high inflation, a rapidly depreciating dollar, unemployment, and political instability. The government has lost its compass, say Kotlikoff and Burns, and the Bush administration`s spending and tax policies have charted a course straight into the coming generational storm.

The Coming Oil Crisis

Publisher: —
Description: The history and current status of the important oil industry are reviewed in this study of the geological origins of oil and gas. Assessed are how much oil and gas has been produced, what remains in known fields, and what is yet to be found, with attention to how to properly interpret published numbers, many of which are false or distorted by vested interests. The contention is made that the growing Middle East control of the market is likely to lead to a radical and permanent increase in the price of oil before physical shortages begin to appear within the first decade of the 21st century. The book further argues that the coming oil crisis will create economic and political discontinuity of historic proportions, as the world adjusts to a new energy environment. [detailed...]

The Coming of Post-Industrial Society: A Venture in Social Forecasting (Harper Colophon Books)

2001 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: Bell`s prophetic 1976 forecast of the Information Age and how it would radically alter the social structure. With a new introduction by Bell. In 1976, when Daniel Bell first published The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, he predicted a vastly different world-one that would rely upon an economics of information, as opposed to the economics of goods that had existed up to then. Bell argued that the new society would not displace the old one but rather overlay it in profound ways, much as industrialization continues to coexist with the agrarian sectors of our society. In Bell`s prescient vision, the post-industrial society would include the birth and growth of a knowledge class, a change from goods to services, and changes in the role of women. All of these would be based upon an increasing dependence on science as a means of innovation, as a means of technical and social change. The Coming of Post-Industrial Society remains an important book for a whole new generation of… [detailed...]

Arthur Conan Doyle
The Coming of the Fairies

2006 y.
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press
Description: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the author of Sherlock Holmes stories but also a devout spiritualist, was entirely convinced by a set of photographs apparently showing two young girls from Cottingley in Yorkshire playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakeable belief in the spirit world, he published `The Coming of the Fairies` in 1922. Doyle`s book lays out the story of the photographs, their supposed provenance, and the implications of their existence. This quirky and fascinating book allows us to get inside the mind of an intelligent, highly respected man who happened to believe in fairies. John M.Lynch`s introduction to this edition provides the background to appreciate Doyle`s claims and, without supporting the existence of fairies, to understand why Doyle wanted them to exist. The photographs of the fairies are reproduced in their entirety, with the original captions, offering readers an opportunity to examine Doyle`s and his… [detailed...]
