The major problems facing the world as it gets used to the
twenty-first century are global inequality, poverty, war and
militarism, oppression, exploitation and ecological sustainability.
Far from solving these problems, economic and political
neo-liberalism seems to be plunging us deeper into them. Diverse
opposition movements have arisen over the years to combat these
problems, which the groups generally consider to be the result of
"globalization". These opposition movements suffer greatly from
being opposed to lots of things without necessarily putting forward
realistic alternative suggestions. This impressive new book seeks
to analyze and develop serious alternatives to the status quo. With
contributions from a wide range of scholars, this important book
will provide a uniquely varied outlook. Students and academics
involved in international politics and economics as well as general
readers with an interest in the anti-globalization movement will
find this work incredibly useful.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you went looking for
vampires? What if you secretly believed they existed? Dylan decides
to go on a vacation of a lifetime in order to find herself. She
begins in Romania, contemplating the existence of vampires and
quickly realizes that she was wrong. Once she ends up in Florence,
however, she is confronted with an immortal, Nico. She must be
marked if she wants to live because she learned the truth of
vampires. Nico catches her and her heart by surprise. The Mortal
One is a whirlwind romance amidst vampire politics. Dylan must be
marked for her safety, yet she is trying to be claimed by another
vampire, thus making her time in Florence very complicated for her.
She tests the bounds of her relationship with a vampire and tries
to create a life for herself as the mortal one. The main setting of
the book is Florence, Italy, where Dylan is in love with the
history of the city.
"I found this a fascinating book: wide-ranging, readable."

Bell shows how the flesh-and-blood female body engaged in sexual
interaction for payment has no inherent meaning and is signified
differently in different cultures or discourses. The author
contends that modernity has produced "the prostitute" as the other
within the categorial other: woman."
