David Montero, "The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations" English | ISBN: 0306827174 | 2024 | 368 pages | AZW3 | 1013 KB Longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award  David Montero, "The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations" English | ISBN: 0306827174 | 2024 | 368 pages | MOBI | 909 KB Longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award  William Brock, "The Spatial Dimension In Environmental and Resource Economics " English | ISBN: 1009694391 | 2026 | 75 pages | PDF | 2 MB Although the spatial dimension is embedded in most issues studied by environmental and resource economics, its incorporation into economic models is not widespread. As a result, significant aspects of important problems remain hidden, which could lead to policy failures. This Element fills this gap by exploring how space can be integrated into environmental and resource economics. The emergence of spatial patterns in economic models through Turing's mechanism is explained and an extension of Pontryagin's maximum principle under spatial dynamics is provided. Examples of the use of spatial dynamics serve to illustrate why space matters in environmental policy design. Moreover, the differentiation of policy when spatial transport mechanisms are considered is made clear. The tools presented, along with their applications, provide foundations for future research in spatial environmental and resource economics in which the underlying spatial dimension - which is very real - is fully taken into account.  Amy Licence, "The Six Wives & Many Mistresses of Henry VIII: The Women's Stories" English | ISBN: 1445633671 | 2014 | 416 pages | MOBI | 4 MB For a King renowned for his love life, Henry VIII has traditionally been depicted as something of a prude, but the story may have been different for the women who shared his bed. How did they take the leap from courtier to lover, to wife? What was Henry really like as a lover?Henry's women were uniquely placed to experience the tension between his chivalric ideals and the lusts of the handsome, tall, athletic king; his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon, was on one level a fairy-tale romance, but his affairs with Anne Stafford, Elizabeth Carew and Jane Popincourt undermined it early on. Later, his more established mistresses, Bessie Blount and Mary Boleyn, risked their good names by bearing him illegitimate children. Typical of his time, Henry did not see that casual liaisons might threaten his marriage, until he met the one woman who held him at arm's length. The arrival of Anne Boleyn changed everything. Her seductive eyes helped rewrite history. After their passionate marriage turned sour, the king rapidly remarried to Jane Seymour.Henry was a man of great appetites, ready to move heaven and earth for a woman he desired; Licence readdresses the experiences of his wives and mistresses in this frank, modern take on the affairs of his heart. What was it really like to be Mrs Henry VIII?
