Dick Webb was a police officer for 30 years serving in the Metropolitan Police, Bolton Borough Police and latterly Greater Manchester Police. His career consisted of foot patrol, CID and then Regional Crime Squad. He has endeavoured not to mention names of people or streets so that at no time is he in breach of the Official Secrets Act. Or he gets his knuckles rapped. Now that he has retired and the children have flown the nest, the house is much roomier. Giving his rheumy body more room to ruminate. Whilst ruminating he enjoyed looking in the rear view mirror of life. What he saw, what he thought, is in this book for you, hopefully, to enjoy.

Containing two works addressing the problems we have all had with money and with credit. ""On the Real Causes of the Recession, Banking and Credit Crises 2007/2008"" is a conventional analysis which identifies a key factor in why the credit crunch has arisen. It is this key aspect of the credit crunch which must be tackled to restore the levels of credit the world needs. Whilst scrambling for Keynesian fiscal stimulus responses we seem to have overlooked a rather more important factor John Maynard Keynes identified from his experiences in the 1930's. In recent decades the world of economics has somewhat neglected Keynes' ideas on the Trade Cycle at its peril. ""The Economics of Money, Poverty and Wealth and What We Should Do About It"" argues for a very unconventional alternative approach and cure to the problems of modern economics and our financial systems.

Bringing a fresh and original outlook to the problem of poverty in our world, the aim of the author is to explain how by seeing the Economics of Money as a mathematical operation in each transaction, and by seeing money as an ancient tool we need to improve, we can move towards a different approach to economics and the mathematics of money to solve poverty around the world and in the process bring greater wealth to all.

Since the notion was introduced by Gromov in the 1980s, hyperbolicity of groups and spaces has played a significant role in geometric group theory; hyperbolic groups have good geometric properties that allow us to prove strong results. However, many classes of interest in our exploration of the universe of finitely generated groups contain examples that are not hyperbolic. Thus we wish to go 'beyond hyperbolicity' to find good generalisations that nevertheless permit similarly strong results. This book is the ideal resource for researchers wishing to contribute to this rich and active field. The first two parts are devoted to mini-courses and expository articles on coarse median spaces, semihyperbolicity, acylindrical hyperbolicity, Morse boundaries, and hierarchical hyperbolicity. These serve as an introduction for students and a reference for experts. The topics of the surveys (and more) re-appear in the research articles that make up Part III, presenting the latest results beyond hyperbolicity.

NEW CENTENNIAL EDITION FOR 2020 Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald honeymooned for five months in the summer of 1920 in a modest gray house in Westport, Connecticut. It was an experience that had a more profound impact on both of their collective works than any other place they lived. It was, for Scott and Zelda, their honeymoon. Having just gotten married and after being kicked out of some of New York city's finest hotels, they were, for the first time, in their very own place, albeit for only five months. It was a time that Scott Fitzgerald called "the happiest year since I was eighteen."He had, after all, just achieved success with his first novel, This Side of Paradise, and was suddenly awash with money. The Fitzgeralds lived a wild life of drinking, driving and endless partying while living in suburban Connecticut. As it happens, living near the beach, they were neighbors to a larger-than-life reclusive multi-millionaire, F.E. Lewis. Historian Richard Webb grew up in Westport a few doors down the street from where the Fitzgeralds had lived some forty years earlier. Fascinated with the Fitzgeralds, when Webb learned that author Barbara Probst Solomon, who grew up across the river from the F.E. Lewis estate, proposed in the New Yorker that Westport was the real setting for Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby, he was stirred to actively researching her claim. Boats Against the Current tells the real story behind the famous novel and its tragic hero, debunking the long-held belief that the book was solely inspired by the Fitzgerald's time in Great Neck, across the Sound in Long Island, and lays out enough information about the fascinating Mr. Lewis that it is difficult not to believe that author Webb has located the true inspiration for one of the most captivating and iconic characters in American literature, the great Gatsby himself. Illustrated with a fantastic array of never-before-seen photos from the Lewis family, as well as the scrapbooks of the Fitzgeralds, period newspaper clippings, and a myriad of compelling stories about Scott, Zelda and their fantastically wealthy neighbor. A companion book to the documentary Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story, Boats Against the Current also recounts Webb's own journey of making the film with fellow Westporter and filmmaker, Robert Steven Williams. The Great Gatsby may be one of America's essential novels. Boats Against the Current is an essential document for anyone who has read the book and wondered at the fantastical world whose story it tells.
