'Eloquent, entertaining and accessible.' FT Adviser When Kevin
Rodgers embarked on his career in finance, dealing rooms were
filled with clamouring traders and gesticulating salesmen. Nearly
three decades later, the bustle has gone and the loudest noise
you're likely to hear is the gentle tapping of keyboards. Why
Aren't They Shouting? is one banker's chronicle of this silent
revolution, taking us from an age of shouted phone calls and alpha
males right up to today's world of computer geeks and complex
derivatives. Along the way, Rodgers offers a masterclass in how
modern banking actually works, exploring the seismic changes to the
global financial industry over the last thirty years. Above all,
his story raises a deeply troubling question: could it be that the
technology that has transformed banking - and that continues to do
so - is actually making it ever more unstable? 'A welcome addition
to the panoply of must-read titles about banking before, during and
after the crisis ... by someone who was actually at the centre of
the industry at the time.' Euromoney 'An animated first-person
narrative about the reality of banking ... lively and engaging.'
LSE Review of Books
In the year 2212, long after the world was reshaped by seismic
cataclysms and polar shifts, Dr. Laurent Stine guides Angelique
Bosc and Alexander Blanton into the inner sanctum of a fortress
named Thames Keep, which is located on Cadaver Island. Their
journey to acquire a battery pack for Angelique's mechanical heart
reaches its final seconds while they are forced to overcome
menacing creatures and dangerous obstacles in the fortress'
maze-like interior. Unknown to Dr. Stine, his lover, Persephone,
faces her own dilemma: she is abducted from her jail cell, which is
located in the village of Kamakura, by a monstrous hellhound named
Barghest. Can Dr. Stine defeat his arch-nemesis, Sir Xavier Thames,
and obtain a charged battery pack before Angelique's heart runs out
of energy? Will Persephone enter the Stone Throat of the Underworld
and succumb to the malevolent will of Beelzebub? New allies, such
as King Reginald Bosc and a skilled warrior named Amaya, will
escort Dr. Stine into the Underworld to locate Persephone and
remove a cursed mask from her face before her soul is lost forever.
THE MASK OF BEELZEBUB is the second installment of a trilogy by
author Kevin Rodgers, which expands a post-apocalyptic world where
powerful demons, prehistoric beasts, and enormous insects thrive in
fiery chasms, subterranean gardens, and giant hives. Dr. Laurent
Stine and his allies will explore the depths of the Underworld to
defeat the temptations of sin, overcome their inner demons, and
resist the will of Corruption MASK OF BEELZEBUB by Kevin Rodgers
