In the midst of globalization, technological change and economic anxiety, we have deep doubts about how well that task of investor protection is being performed. In the U.S., the focus is on the Securities & Exchange Commission. Part of the explanation is economic and political: the failure to know the right balance between investor protection and capital formation, and the resulting battle among interest groups over their preferred solutions. This book's mainclaim, however, is that regulation is also frustrated at nearly every turn by human nature, as exhibited both on the buy-side (investors) and sell-side (corporate executives, bankers, stockbrokers). There is plenty of savvy and guile, but also ample hope, fear, ego, overconfidence, social contagion andthe like that persistently filter and distort the messages regulators try to send. This book is the first sustained effort to link the key initiatives of securities regulation with our burgeoning awareness in the social sciences of how people and organizations really behave in economic settings. It examines why corporate fraud occurs and how best to deter it and compensate its victims; the search for an edge via insider trading; the disclosure apparatus and its gatekeepers; sales efforts andmanipulation in Ponzi schemes, internet scams, private offerings and crowdfunding; and how this all helps explain the recent global financial crisis. It ends by turning these insights back on the task of regulation itself, and the strategies (and frustrations) of making regulation work in afinancial world that is at once increasingly sophisticated yet deeply human and incurably flawed.

Behind the Curtain takes a look where the Leftist billionaire's club doesn't want you to go-into the world of dark money and influence that has only one goal: to stop conservatives and Donald Trump by any means necessary.You're probably familiar with George Soros. You may be familiar with Tom Steyer. You may even know who their other billionaire buddies are on the Left, and which foundations they use to exert political pressure. But do you know how they organize their dollars and their organizations to have maximum impact, while shielding themselves from voter scrutiny and criminal charges? Behind the Curtain is a look into the murky world of dark money-massive amounts of it aligned to push a far-left agenda that would make even mainstream liberals shiver.Behind the Curtain reveals the sordid web of limousine liberals and subversive billionaires in a chilling tale of power, greed, envy, and the politics of personal destruction. It is also the story of the lengths to which the organized Left will go to overturn the results of the 2016 election using the courts, a shadowy network of nonprofit organizations and consulting firms, and an increasingly compliant media.

It's January, 1955, and for the residents of Meadow Lane, a small community of seven terraced houses, the New Year is about to bring some new challenges. There's Grace, Bill, and Evie Gow; Thomas (Hopalong) Cassidy; Anna and Thomasina, also known as Tommy; Maryanne Roberts; Bella Duff (aka Granny); Martha and Eliza Potter; Albert Scott; and newcomers Donald and Morag MacCallum. Each household has its own story. Maryanne is seriously ill, Bella has lost her fiance in the war and also now her mother, and Eliza is being kept from marriage by her domineering mother. Albert is having nightmares following his wartime exploits, and Morag is expecting a baby any minute.Then, with Maryanne ill, the sudden return of her daughter Sadie and grandson Eddie from Canada--without her husband--throws the Lane into turmoil. As soon as she can, Sadie tries to rekindle an old flame, despite him being a married man with two children. Unhappy with his mother and the enforced separation from his father, Eddie runs away from home, trying to get back to Canada. Everyone is worried for the boy's safety, but, when they eventually find him, he is reunited with his father who takes him back to Canada. Depressed by how her life is turning out, Sadie starts drinking, with tragic consequences as she accidentally starts a terrible fire in Meadow Lane that will changes all their lives forever.

In this second edition, historians Chuck Parsons and Donaly E. Brice present a complete picture of N. O. Reynolds (1846-1922), a Texas Ranger who brought a greater respect for the law in Central Texas. Reynolds began as a sergeant in famed Company D, Frontier Battalion in 1874. He served honorably during the Mason County ""Hoo Doo"" War and was chosen to be part of Major John B. Jones's escort, riding the frontier line. In 1877 he arrested the Horrells, who were feuding with their neighbors, the Higgins party, thus ending their Lampasas County feud. Shortly thereafter he was given command of the newly formed Company E of Texas Rangers. Also in 1877 the notorious John Wesley Hardin was captured; N.O. Reynolds was given the responsibility to deliver Hardin to trial in Comanche, return him to a safe jail during his appeal, and then escort him safely to the Huntsville penitentiary.

The decade between the labour conflict (the `Lockout') of 1913 and the end of the Civil War in 1923 was one of seismic upheaval. How the GAA - a major sporting and national body - both influenced and was influenced by this upheaval is a rich and multifaceted story. Leading writers in the field of modern Irish history and the history of sport explore the impact on `ordinary' life of major events. They examine the effect of the First World War, the 1916 Rising and its aftermath, the emergence of nationalist Sinn Fein and its triumph over the Irish Parliamentary Party, as well as the War of Independence (1919-21) and the bitter Civil War (1922-23). This is an original and engrossing perspective through the lens of a sporting organisation.

Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious,even liberating,book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time.In this entertaining and insightful analysis, cognitive scientist Don Norman hails excellence of design as the most important key to regaining the competitive edge in influencing consumer behaviour. Now fully expanded and updated, with a new introduction by the author, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how,and why,some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
