A Desperate Journey

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sometimes a journey of the heart is the most dangerous journey of all. Sally Wheeler learned the hard way that men aren`t always what they seem. Now she will stop at nothing to track down the bigamist husband who stole her child and abandoned her on their failing Kansas farm. Even if it means traveling with a handsome maverick who could change her mind about men. Free after spending seven years in prison for a crime he didn`t commit, Rob Truman aims to balance the scales of justice on the man who sent him there-Luke Wheeler. His quest doesn`t include falling for the one woman who will lead him to his quarry, but Sally`s courage in the face of her fear touches his soul. Through dangerous days and nights on the trail, neither Sally nor Rob can ignore their growing feelings for each other. Yet both are haunted by the poor judgment that, in the past, led them down the wrong road. Love-and trust-are luxuries neither of them can afford. But as the bullets start flying, love may be all that… [detailed...]

A Deus Ex Machina Revisited: Atlantic Colonial Trade and European Economic Development (The Atlantic World)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The effects of the expansion of Europe have fascinated historians and economists, as well as the public at large, for centuries. One of the most intriguing and controversial effects of Europe`s expansion has been the trade that resulted from this movement out of Europe and into other regions of the world. The role of foreign trade in Europe`s economic growth?and especially in its industrialization?has long been hotly contested. This volume has as its point of departure the idea that the link between colonial trade and the development of Europe was much more complex than hitherto believed. Because this link is so complex, this volume contains essays by various specialists to assess the new directions in the historiography. Moreover, this volume examines the debate on the impact of colonial trade on countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, which are usually ignored in favor of discussion about Britain.

Basically, it`s one-stop shopping for serious developers who have to get up to speed quickly. I`ll keep this one on my desk--not on my bookshelf.

A Dictionary of Art Titles: The Origins of the Names and Titles of 3,000 Works of Art

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Titles of artworks can be misleading, and their relation to a painting or sculpture difficult to discern. Some titles require previous knowledge of history, religion or mythology.

The titles, mostly of paintings and sculpture, but also other media, are arranged by original title or English title (with French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian works usually given in their own language, and occasionally other works as well), each entry provides an English title when necessary, the artist`s name, when known, the date of creation, the present location, and an explanation of the title. A bibliography and an index of artists are included. [detailed...]
