During his lifetime E. L. Doctorow was a remarkable phenomenon
among contemporary American novelists. He was a serious writer who
was popular, a political writer who was a stylist, an original
writer who was highly eclectic and an historical writer who
invented the past. In this study, originally published in 1985,
Paul Levine follows Doctorow's progress as a novelist and traces
the development of certain themes that recur in his work including
the relationships between history and imagination, between high and
popular culture and between political content and radical style. He
also examines Doctorow's notion of the writer as witness and actor
and of writing as a subversive activity, two concerns which link
him with important writers in Europe and Latin America. The book
should provide a valuable and comprehensive coverage of his work to
date, including the films of Ragtime and The Book of Daniel.
This brings together relevant papers on macro-, monetary and
development economics from many eminent economists from all over
the world who are closely associated with the works of Late
Professor Anita Ghatak of Greenwich University, UK who was an
expert in the field of macroeconomics and econometrics. It
comprises a variety of articles which are highly significant in the
analysis of macroeconomic policies both in developed and
in-transition economies.
There are several main topics covered in this book such as the
test of new theories of economic growth and convergence and the use
of dynamic and rigorous time-series econometric methods for
analysing money demand functions in transition economies. This work
details the meaning of economic development and the comparative
analysis of the recent growth of India and China, also the
modelling of the macroeconomics of poverty reduction and the
monetary policy rules in transition economies. Lastly, the research
analyses the Asian Financial crisis, the impact of migration on
investment and economic growth and international consumption
patterns.

"Jake Lassiter is the lawyer we all want on our side...and on the
page." - Lee Child "LASSITER is the courtroom drama of the year." -
Harlan Coben A Missing Woman... A Secret in Jake's Past... And a
Thirst for Revenge Eighteen years ago, Jake Lassiter crossed paths
with a teenage runaway who disappeared into South Florida's sex
trade. Now, plagued by guilt over his failure to help her, and
suspected of complicity in her fate, he retraces her steps and runs
head-on into a conspiracy of silence by Miami's rich and powerful.
The evidence of deceit and corruption leads to a long-ago night of
kinky sex, designer drugs - and a possible death. But before
Lassiter can nail the truth, a gun goes off, a suspect falls dead,
and the linebacker-turned-lawyer has a murder trial to defend.
REVIEWS "Since Robert Parker is no longer with us, I'm nominating
Levine for an award as best writer of dialogue in the grit-lit
genre." - San Jose Mercury News "A gripping legal thriller, story
of self-discovery and a look at corruption set against an insider's
evocative view of South Florida. Levine's energetic storytelling
manages to make his novel serious, witty, and sardonic." - Miami
Herald "Engaging...a standout job." Publishers Weekly "While it's
been 14 years since the last 'Lassiter' novel, Levine, the author
of the excellent Solomon/Lord series, definitely hasn't lost his
touch." - Lansing State Journal "One of the strongest voices in
crime fiction." -- Lisa Scottoline "Paul Levine is one of South
Florida's great writers, and 'Lassiter' is his greatest creation."
- Dave Barry "One of the most adept entertainers in the legal
thriller biz." - Chauncey Mabe, Open Page "Few writers can deliver
tales about sex and drugs in South Florida better than Levine."
-Booklist "The highest praise of all: I'm going to sit down and
read it again, just to see how Levine pulls off the magic." -
