A Writer's Life

More Ups Than Downs

By: James M. Shevis,Jim Shevis

A Writer's Life: More Ups Than Downs is sure to attract large numbers of readers for its description of a career in the making and for the author's frankness in surmounting obstacles. Jim Shevis has had his ups and downs, there's no question of that. But he's always managed to get up one more time than he's fallen down. This is a seasoned journalist who traveled to Russia and Kazakhstan with former Vice President Gore, chinned with Norman Schwarzkopf, written speeches for Geraldine Ferraro, and covered Washington's power centers, including Congress, the Pentagon and, on occasion, the White House. Along the way, Shevis pursued a fascinating hobby - collecting autographs of some 100 newsmakers and celebrities he's met or written about. The collection includes the signatures of John F. Kennedy, Robert Frost, John Kenneth Galbraith, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Colin Powell, among others. While he has had an exciting career, the author has had some dark moments in life too - many brought on by his father's drinking as well as his own. A Writer's Life is a light, easy-to-read, topical work written in the lean style of a journalist.

A genealogical dictionary of the first settlers of New England, Volume 1

A genealogical dictionary of the first settlers of New England, Volume 1

By: James Savage

A genealogical dictionary of our early colonists. Every volume shows three generations of those who came before 1692. Although more than a century has elapsed since the publication of this monumental work, it remains the standard to our day. We do not mean that new information has not been unearthed or that the work is free from errors, but Savage had just the peculiar qualifications necessary. He was so persistent in gathering data and so conservative in his use of them, that a statement made on his authority bears great weight. This work has the whole of New England for its field. This is volume 1, covering the surnames A - C.

Mark Them Which Walk

Mark Them Which Walk

By: James B. Seaborn

Mark Them Which Walk The sequel to The Apothecary’s Ointment. In the previous story, disappointment in a trusted friend and mentor had given Melvin Heath a temporary setback and left him disillusioned and uncertain, but hopeful. At this low point in Heath’s spiritual life following the downfall of his mentor, when he found himself bewildered and adrift, an older friend had encouraged him with these words: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man . . . but Blessed is theman that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. In the years that followed, Melvin remembered these lines from the prophet, Jeremiah. Through his experiences, they proved their worthiness as a guiding principle in his life. As Melvin regains his spiritual equilibrium, the adverse winds of tribulation assail him anew. With his Lord and Savior as an unfailing beacon, Heath steers a steady course through the troubled waters of religious politics.

Bank Politics

Structural Reform in Comparative Perspective

By: David Howarth,Scott James

The problem of banks being 'too big to fail' was the defining regulatory issue of the global financial crisis. However, attempts to tackle the problem by separating retail banking from higher risk trading activities - known as structural reform - proved to be highly divisive and contributed to significant regulatory divergence. In this book, David Howarth and Scott James explain this variation by examining the politics of bank structural reform across six key jurisdictions: the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Integrating political economy and public policy approaches, they develop a novel 'comparative financial power' framework to analyse how financial industry influence is mediated by two factors: first, whether bank lobbying is unified and centralized (cooperative financial power) or divided and fragmented (competitive financial power); and second, policy makers' use of venue shifting to depoliticize contentious policy issues. The book explains that the US and UK governments implemented major reforms because the banking industry was divided and faced significant opposition. However, venue shifting to an independent committee led to durable reform in the UK, while political polarization in the US contributed to contested reform. By contrast, the French and German governments balanced unified bank lobbying and political pressures to act by pursuing limited symbolic reforms; the Dutch government deflected the issue through delegation to multiple commissions (no reform); while political stalemate at the EU level resulted from early venue shifting and concerted pan-European bank lobbying. The book makes a major contribution to scholarship on the political economy of finance and business power.
