In his 3rd collection of short fiction, Louis Phillips, a widely read author of fiction, poetry, drama, and children's stories, takes his readers into numerous strange worlds. From the opening story, "Errata," which lists dozens of strange "mistakes" with a previously published story, to the final piece, "Lee Harvey Oswald's Can Opener," a reader soon discovers oneself visiting an unpredictable consciousness. Phillips, who teaches Introduction to Poetry and The History of Hell at the School of Visual Arts, creates stories which lead the reader to scratch ask what in the world is going on? These are the kinds of questions asked of Kafka, Borges, Barthelme, and Barth as well as so many other authors of poetic realism, the unusual, and yes, the absurd. As for humor, well, there is plenty of that, too. What is the theme connecting these stories? Madness, perhaps, but not only the madness of single characters. Madness as well of entire communities, the "madness of crowds." Read these stories, and be prepared to confront new realities, some of which you may never entirely escape.

The use of the US dollar for domestic monetary transactions outside the USA has gone on for many years now - Panama in 1904 being the earliest example. Since the advent of the Euro, the debate over the benefits of monetary integration has warmed up - particularly for NAFTA countries.
This collection, with contributions from experts such as Philip Arestis, Malcolm Sawyer and Stephanie Bell, examines the various problems and benefits involved in monetary integration and covers the causes of Euro instability, monetary policy in non-optimal currency unions, financial openness and dollarization and the question of dollarization in Canada.
This book addresses one of the burning policy issues in Europe and America: is monetary union worthwhile? The readable yet comprehensive style of this book will make it of interest not only to academics and students involved in European integration, financial liberalization and dollarization, but will also be an important book for policy-makers at intergovernmental level.

The Bones of Plenty is a powerful and absorbing novel about the struggles of a proud North Dakota wheat-farming family during the Great Depression. Hudson eloquently portrays George Custer, a determined and angry man who must battle both the land and the landlord; his hard-working wife Rachel; and their young and vulnerable daughter Lucy. Through their compelling story looms a sense of a whole nation's tragedy.

Lois Phillips Hudson is recognized as a major chronicler of America's agricultural heartland during the grim years of the Great Depression. "Reapers of the Dust," now reprinted for a new generation of readers, vividly evokes that difficult time. From Hudson's childhood in North Dakota spring these unusual, moving stories of simple, joyful days, of continuing battles with hostile elements, and of a family's new life as migrant workers on the West Coast. "Hudson writes with grace and beauty and an abiding understanding of the meaning of those bitter, tragic years."--"Chicago Tribune" "These tales are to 'discomfit civilization, ' in the tradition of personal accounts of the settling of the West by such writers as Mari Sandoz, Wallace Stegner, and Walter Van Tilburg Clark."--"The Nation"

In" Women Seen and Heard, experienced public speakers share their wisdom on how to get ready for and deliver dynamic presentations, whether to co-workers or managers, small groups and formal audiences or at community and political events. Until recently, women were in the background supporting men in leadership positions; but now, they are a powerful force for leading change.
