It is 1702, and in the lawless Caribbean Sea, young Matthew Loftus captains his ship, the Cornelius, and vows to engage in honest trade rather than piracy and plunder. But his crew lusts after the spoils that their fast, well-armed vessel could win, and discontent begins to rumble. Meanwhile, Loftus is pursued by the English Navy on a false charge of mutiny. Matthew must evade the King’s ships and escape the attention of ruthless privateers. His only chance of pardon rests with a secret almanac that promises that elusive prize—to solve the Longitude Problem. But is the almanac what it seems? Through wild gales and fierce sea battles, uprisings and reversals of fortune, Matthew sails his beloved schooner towards victory.

Why our addiction to debt caused the global financial crisis and is the root of our financial woes Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn’t happen because banks are too big to fail—our addiction to private debt is to blame. Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low. In fact, most credit is not needed for economic growth—but it drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. Turner explains why public policy needs to manage the growth and allocation of credit creation, and why debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution. Banks need far more capital, real estate lending must be restricted, and we need to tackle inequality and mitigate the relentless rise of real estate prices. Turner also debunks the big myth about fiat money—the erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. To escape the mess created by past policy errors, we sometimes need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money. Between Debt and the Devil shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance.

The Devils Reign is a true story. Statements made by the author in this book have been validated with documentation and verified by this publisher's legal department. You will read about a near-death experience, an ensuing mission to expose the forces of evil and warn people to get their lives in order with God, and mind-boggling events that followed. George spent years writing a screenplay to relay his message, while being bombarded with problems, financial losses and shocking supernatural experiences. For example: The name Lucifer mysteriously appeared on a court document, baffling even the agencies involved. When numerology was done on the circumstance involving that name it equaled 666. Many documented and witnessed supernatural occurrences followed. A priest told George, You have to finish your story or the Devil wins. George finished his screenplay. But, he was still being watched by an evil eye. In 1998 a Hollywood Producer took $20,000 from him and destroyed his script. In 1999, over twenty scenes of Georges script appeared in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film, End of Days. The production company for that film was Lucifilms and the production start date wasNovember 21, 1998, Georges birthday. George realized he was living the story he was to tell. He was in the midst of a battle between the forces of good and evil. His faith in the forces of good gave him the strength to confront the onslaught of evil, and he kept writing. He couldnt let the Devil win. Regardless of religious beliefs, The Devils Reign is an inspiring book that will change peoples lives for the better. The lamb never killed the lion. We cant conquer evil when we are bound by our own rules. We must fight evil with our enemys rules and with equal force or we will be destroyed.

From the outside, her life was all too commonly tragic. Gwen and her overly eager bio chemist husband, Caleb, met in college. They both wanted to have children and ease into a simple, unremarkable life of family and academics. After a difficult and what could of have been an expensive conception, she gave birth to their two children, Gloria and David. Since Caleb was a bio chemist, they decided to have him implant "their" fertilized egg into Gwen's womb, a kind of pregnancy D.I.Y. project. It seemed so simple, almost natural, for Caleb to perform the procedure. In a way it brought their family closer, or so it seemed from the outside. After many years of Caleb and Gwen being absorbed in their own worlds of work and children, Caleb left Gwen for someone else. Their daughter, Gloria, began drinking and going wild after the divorce. Gloria's life ended in a drunken car accident, killing a mother and her children. This was the end of her unremarkable life. In a desperate state of grief and guilt, Gwen makes a decision that ends up putting her in a mental hospital. Dr. Jones, her counselor, meets Gwen at the depths of depression and confusion. From the outside, Gwen understandably needs some support through this period in her life. Gwen's time is running out at the mental hospital. Dr. Jones has to have a diagnosis, a verdict on Gwen. She's on the brink of confessing or continuing to live in mayhem. The world will never be the same if she confesses their sins. The Devil's Response blends together the worlds of mythology and technology in one relatable story. This modern science fiction story will have you questioning the role of technology in our most personal decisions. How many decisions do we make only because, "we can"?
