This book analyses the changing nature of the British economy and the consequences of Brexit upon its place within the European economic space. The overhang from the global financial crisis, the Eurozone crisis, the political negotiation of prolonged economic downturn and now the spectre of 'Brexit' provide the backdrop for various forms of capitalist restructuring designed to restore competitiveness and prosperity. This re-structuring has clear implications for existing European growth models, the structural imbalances and inequalities which characterise the British economy, the fortunes of the City of London and competing financial districts internationally, and the prospective strategies of progressive politics in this context. Adopting a broadly critical political economy lens - which gives analytical weight to the relationship between economic and political dynamics - the book will draw on the research of eminent scholars to assess divergence in the foundations of economic competitiveness and their social repercussions.

Poetry. This is Daniel Bailey's third full length collection of poetry and it contains multitudes. Whispers, prayers, chants, stories, invitations, valentines. These poems are wrapped in melody. These poems "drift between you and the idea of you."

Blackjack Freedom is a simplified counting and betting system that enables anyone to master card counting forever, gain a worthwhile edge over the casinos, and if they so choose, turn that skill into a very lucrative vocation with more freedom and benefits than almost any job in the world. After years of being unable to fully master all of the required mental calculations and count-dependent strategy and bet variations required by Hi-Lo and other systems, I sat down with the intent of somehow simplifying existing methods of counting, devoting specific attention to the True Count, or count per deck. What I developed is not effortless; the technique still requires memorization of what to do and how much to bet given a certain count and deck penetration. What it does most effectively is eliminate the difficult mental calculations required to arrive at the True Count, which will enable you to more easily and accurately vary your strategy and bet amounts. No knowledge of higher math is required. If you can count forward or backward one number at a time and have an average memory then you can master card counting once and for all, realize your dream of becoming a professional Blackjack player, and enjoy all of the freedom that comes with it. Instead of many chapters and appendices full of formulas, charts, and tables already written and rewritten by dozens of authors, I will provide you with the simple mathematical explanation of what the technique is, how it works, and how to use it. I will show you how to count cards accurately with substantially less effort than that required by other systems. Included with the booklet will be an attachment of a two-sided 3 X 5 index card I developed that has a summary of all the count-dependent bet and strategy variations that you need to easily implement the system. If you don't play for a few days or weeks, simply consult the card to refresh your memory of what to do in any situation with any deck count.

However one refers to his reason and libido, it is their juxtaposition that leads most single men in their 30's to a crossroad: the long and winding uphill path of commitment, love, and fidelity, or the hazardous but infinitely more fun track of puerile abandon, which spirals licentiously downward toward old age and loneliness. As for me, I chose to purchase a ticket aboard the Escort Sex Train, which made regular stops at Disappointmentville, Rip-Off City, and Freaktown, along with an occasional stopover in Port Satisfaction. "Sorry, No Kissing" is a journey during which I examine myself to uncover why I have shunned meaningful, lasting relationships in favor of fleeting dalliances with prostitutes, and through one bizarre encounter after another attempt to explain the psychological mechanisms and sexual weakness that govern my behavior. From the Bahamas to Las Vegas, Jamaica to Mexico, I employ promiscuous yet seemingly hollow women in an effort to fill some emotional bottomless pit, and to answer the unsettling question of why to this day I appear destined to remain... unkissed.

MathOdes is a fun and creative math teaching and study aid designed to help students remember math concepts and formulas. In the form of poetry and illustrations, the formulas and rules focus on geometry. Each of the thirteen "odes" details a particular math concept such as parallelograms, surface area, and regular polyhedrons. A portion of the proceeds will go to the MathOdes Scholarship fund to assist qualified students in their educational pursuits.
