Good fences make good neighbors except when a scorching shared past makes things complicated in this delightful city-meets-country romance from Zuri Day.She's packing her bags and her baggage. Ten years ago, Genesis Washington made a very poor decision. At the time, it seemed great. Fantastic. Explosive. But the truth is, your one-night rebound should never be your younger brother's rival. And he definitely shouldn't be someone who allegedly only slept with you to gain the upper hand even if the sex was amazing. Now Genesis is blindsided when the farm she's inherited just happens to be right next door to Jaxson King, the regrettable one-night stand she's still painfully attracted to. This man has aged like the finest of wines, and what's worse, he's now a thoughtful and responsible father. Good thing Genesis has a (*cough* long-distance *cough*) boyfriend. Well, sort of. It's complicated. Jaxson and his hotness should be easy enough to ignore. But when city-girl Genesis discovers there's a serious learning curve to her humble new home, it's Jaxson who's there to lend a very skilled helping hand. With every problem that arises, Jaxson is seemingly making all the right moves both on the farm and when things heat up behind closed doors. But, surely, that doesn't mean he's right for Genesis, does it? From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.

Understanding the theories that underpin international political economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the study of international relations, politics, development and economics. International Political Economy in the 21st Century offers students an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject. It considers traditional and alternative approaches to IPE, and in doing so elucidates key concepts, assumptions and the intellectual and historical context in which they arose and developed. At all times, it makes clear their relevance to issues from trade, finance and government, to environment, technology, health, labour, security, migration, development and culture. The book encourages independent reflection and critical thinking through a range of in-text guiding features. In addition, each chapter presents theoretical analysis alongside contemporary issues, helping the reader to relate to the real world of IPE and to better understand how theory helps inform interpretation of it.This third edition has been comprehensively updated to include:• key coverage of the build-up to and the post-COP26 era; causes and consequences of recent energy crises, and governmental and non-governmental responses to these crises; cryptocurrencies within finance; and the role of ‘big data’ companies;• fully updated data, reflective questions, recommended readings, concept and example boxes, and illustrations;• a new chapter on Climate Change; and• online material.This comprehensive and accessible introductory textbook will be key reading for undergraduate students of international political economy.

‘The later Renko novels are stark, spare and beautiful, like trees in winter. Martin Cruz Smith does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable’ MICK HERRONARKADY RENKO IS BACK . . . Renko has been confined to a desk job by his superiors to keep him out of the way. Although he’s more disillusioned with policing and the general state of Russia than ever, he feels an odd sense of hope. A rebellion is bubbling in the country, with new values butting heads against old-school regimes. People want change and politician Leonid Lebedev could be the man to do it. When Karina, a staunch supporter of Lebedev and member of the Forum, goes missing, Renko is asked by her father to find her. Soon after his investigation begins, Alex, a close friend of Arkady’s son, is found dead. He was also a member of the Forum. The night before his murder, Alex sent Arkady a cryptic message, simply containing three pictures of Russian writers. The link between the pictures is there, if only Renko could see it. But Arkady has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and the physical and psychological effects of the disease are taking their toll. This time, he must fight more than the impenetrable Russian regime to get answers – he will need to fight himself.

Why do Czech men love sandals and white socks, and why do Czech women practice extramarital sex with greater gusto than women in most other European countries? Did you know that Czech Euroscepticism has its roots in 1620? That Czech society is in reality an undercover matriarchy? Or that some Czech have names like Hippopotamus, Don't-Eat-Bread and even Pepa from Hong Kong? When is it crucial not to do as you are told, and should you be happy when somebody gives you a painting of a rhombus? In this manual, foreigners will find light answers to these and many other weighty questions about the Czechs and their fascinating society. It is written by a foreigner who after years in the country has discovered that many things and people are not what they seem at first glance. This manual does not treat the Czechs as 10 million identical people with some typical Czech personal features. Instead, it points out that the conflux of a turbulent history, religious clashes, influence from diverse cultures, and four decades of Bolshevik isolation has created a society that in some respects is suprisingly tolerant and rich, and in others a bit less admirable and generous. It has also created truly unique characters such as Jára Cimrman and Karel Gott. Půvabná, v angličtině psaná knížka mladého norského bohemisty nabízí příchozím i zde usedlým cizincům vtipný vhled do české národní mentality s jejími silnými i slabými stránkami. Kniha plná neotřelých postřehů nad způsobem života v českých zemích od sféry nejsoukromější až po sféru politickou, je plná vtipu, ale i drobných "jedovatostí", které nejen pobaví, ale donutí se zamyslet. Z tohoto hlediska je bezesporu přínosem a zároveň zábavným čtením jak pro cizince, tak i pro ty z Čechů, kteří ovládají anglický jazyk.

Capturing the views of over 300 business leaders on the common causes of digital transformation failure, Data Culture sets out an actionable framework to help organisations of all sizes to build successful data-driven cultures. After working as a senior executive in one of the UK's leading manufacturers, Alex Vail and a group of Chief Technology Officers conducted several research projects, including the largest ever study into the country's corporate AI capabilities. Through workshops, round tables, surveys and interviews with hundreds of C-suite technology, digital and AI leaders from FTSE350 companies, they explored why digital transformations succeed or fail; the data dependency of organisations; and how data-literate senior decision-makers really are. What emerged from the research was a clear set of success factors, grounded in mindset and behaviour elements, which have been used to create a framework that any company can follow, regardless of their size or complexity, to guarantee successful technology transformations. This book captures all of the research in an easy-to-follow guide packed with relatable scenarios of real-world technology deployment and valuable opinions from people at the coal-face of digital transformation.

By the time she met Kelly, she was already an experienced criminal herself, divorced twice and ready to marry a man who could give her the posh life she always dreamed of. With that in mind, she bought Kelly his first machine gun. And the rest is history George Kelly wasn''t a natural-born gangster and never carried a weapon bigger than a revolver.
