In these highly competitive times, there is little room for firms that are content to remain as they've always been. Global competition, commoditisation, legal outsourcing and pressure from clients to cut costs have created a sense of urgency within law firms to better understand their own businesses. This has implications for the way law firms view and use their resources, expertise and human capital.

Humans are biologically programmed to seek out pleasurable experiences. These experiences are processed in the mesolimbic system, also referred to as the "reward center" of the brain, where a number of chemical messengers work in concert to provide a net release of dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens. In some genetically predisposed individuals, addiction occurs when the mechanisms of the mesolimbic system are disrupted by the use of various drugs of abuse. Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, it's 12 step program of spiritual and character development has helped countless alcoholics and drug addicts curb their self-destructive behaviors. However, the program was developed at a time when comparatively little was known about the function of the brain and it has never been studied scientifically. This is the first book to take a systematic look at the molecular neurobiology associated with each of the 12 steps and to review the significant body of addiction research literature that is pertinent to the program.

Nach der Explosion in einem Wiener Lagerhaus findet die Polizei einige Leichen die zumindest eines gemeinsam haben - alle diese Personen waren schon vor Ausbruch des Feuers getotet worden. Was bleibt ist die Frage ob ein CIA-Mann namens Brown an dem Inferno beteiligt war. Und, wie Karl Meixner seine Verletzungen uberleben soll. Ein Jahr spater schickt die CIA einen jungen Agenten auf seinen ersten Auslandseinsatz nach Europa und stellt ihm Jonathan W. Merryweather von der ansassigen US-Botschaft zur Seite. Man halt die Zeit fur gekommen um den abtrunnigen Jim Brown endlich zu stoppen. Doch Merryweather muss erkennen, dass Vieles nicht in normalen Bahnen lauft. Gewichtige Interessen sind zu wahren, alte Geschichten werden ans Licht gezerrt und so ganz allmahlich erhalt eine verborgene Realitat eine neue, erschreckende Dimension. Auch mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges hat Wien als Drehscheibe der Geheimdienste nichts an Brisanz verloren. Es wurde nur schwerer zu entscheiden, wer Freund ist, und wer Feind. Mit Fata Morgana gelingt es Mark Gold aus seinen Buchern Alexanders Abschied und Ballawatsch einen Zyklus zu schaffen. Und er gewahrt damit Einsicht in eine Welt, die vollig real ist und die wir trotzdem so noch nie gesehen haben. J.E.

Wahllos, so wie die Puzzlestucke aus einer Schachtel, fallen die Geschichten Golds durcheinander. Um dann, scheinbar wie von selbst an ihren Platz geruckt, ein Bild zu ergeben. Doch das Bild, das sich so treuherzig anbietet, ist trugerisch, unsteet und nicht wirklich zu fassen. So wie der ganze Mann, der in einem leeren Bus eine Nacht lang uber die Autobahnen donnert und sich an ein Leben erinnert, dass auf den ersten Blick aussergewohnlich wirkt und doch im Grunde nur ein ganz langweiliges Allerweltsleben ist. Mark Gold, selbst Filmtechniker, lasst den Leser wissen, dass sich keine seiner Geschichten so zugetragen hat, wie er sie hier erzahlt - und doch ist die Horigkeit der "grossten Sendeanstalt dieses Landes" gegenuber Politiker ebenso Thema einer seiner Geschichten, wie der Ortstafelstreit Karntens. Von faszinierenden Personlichkeiten bis hin zu fast primitiven Beziehungsproblemen spannt sich der Bogen seiner tropfelnden Geschichten. Wobei auch einem laienhaften Psychologen schnell auffallen durfte, dass dieser Mensch ein wirkliches Problem mit anderen Menschen, mit Beziehungen und seinen Gefuhlen hat. Oder er hat einfach nur ein Problem mit sich und seiner Identitat. Denn wieder ist Golds Held ein wenig verruckt, etwas ausserhalb der Norm. Auch oder gerade, weil er nicht abstumpfen wi
