In one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the
George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work
of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and
incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese,
Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush
administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is
paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but
the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its
repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies.
The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy
is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other
institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a
comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy. Key

As Dead As Me is a first person account of the zombie apocalypse
from its beginning to its end. The dead are rising. As America
falls, Jack and several other survivors are rescued by Army patrol
and taken by ship to a remote island off Indonesia where, under the
leadership of the Colonel, they'll try to rebuild the human race.
That effort involves dangerous military forays, including an
assault on an oil tanker infested with the dead, to have a
generation's worth of fuel for the island; and a long train journey
up the Asian continent to rescue a group of humans holed up in a
women's prison. Part military novel, part adventure story, part
horror tale, As Dead As Me follows a group of desperate men and
women who try to be strong enough, organized enough, and brave
enough, to take back the world. If they don't succeed, mankind is
extinct.

I Smell Blood features eight stories by Ralph Robert Moore, plus
his short horror novel Kid. Almost 100,000 words of fiction.
Moore's stories have been published in America, England, Ireland
and Australia. His first short story collection, Remove the Eyes,
was long-listed by the British Fantasy Society as the Best Short
Story Collection of 2009. British writer/critic Peter Tennant said
of Remove the Eyes, "I can't recommend this collection highly
enough." Italian critic Mario Guslandi wrote, "Moore... conceives
original plots, creates credible characters and makes them speak
plausible dialogues, and, most of all, is a terrific storyteller.
Try him, you won't regret it." British editor/publisher/writer
Trevor Denyer described Remove the Eyes as, "Unusual, erotic,
frightening and stunningly good." Peter Tennant and Ellen Datlow
both listed Remove the Eyes as one of the notable short story
collections of 2009.

This Palgrave Pivot reviews the history of the UK's Retail Prices
Index (RPI) from its origins just after the Second World War to its
controversial position today. Both the developments in the
methodology of the index and the political and social context in
which its development took place are closely examined. The authors
explain how the RPI went from being the dominant measure of
inflation for decades to its current position as an officially
discredited index. Despite this status, it is still widely used and
attracts much support from a range of stakeholders, including
several areas of government. Important reading for anyone
interested in both sides of the argument for and against RPI and
the likely way forward for the measurement of inflation.
