In his third book of essays, Roell starts, appropriately enough, with an analysis of Occupy Wall Street, a short-lived protest movement which was brutally suppressed. He explains why OWS failed and why astrology is essential for planning protest movements.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the first installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles—the inspiration for the hit television series! “Extraordinary . . . Anne Rice offers more than just a story; she creates myth.”—The Washington Post Book World Rowan Mayfair, a beautiful woman, a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery—aware that she has special powers but unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches—finds the drowned body of a man off the coast of California and brings him to life. He is Michael Curry, who was born in New Orleans and orphaned in childhood by fire on Christmas Eve, who pulled himself up from poverty, and who now, in his brief interval of death, has acquired a sensory power that mystifies and frightens him. As these two, fiercely drawn to each other, fall in love and—in passionate alliance—set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds. Moving through time from today’s New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and a château in the Louis XIV’s France, and from the coffee plantations of Port au Prince, where the great Mayfair fortune is made and the legacy of their dark power is almost destroyed, to Civil War New Orleans, The Witching Hour is a luminous, deeply enchanting novel. The magic of the Mayfairs continues: THE WITCHING HOUR • LASHER • TALTOS

COMMON ANOMALY BOOK SUMMARY Evan White, the 16 year old author of Common Anomaly “Business Basics and Fundamentals for Teens", strongly believes today, with society’s thrust toward financial literacy, parents and educators are deeply interested in teaching children about personal finance and business early in the educational learning process and in the home. However, most books about basic finance and business are too complicated for most teens. Many business finance books are written by adults and for adults. Hence, I felt the need to publish Common Anomaly with the goal of creating a quick read to help teens better understand the basic and fundamental concepts about business and finance. Mr. White believes “the business world is very dynamic today and welcoming to all business ideas; teens can be a part of that business growth.” Getting involved in business today is no longer an opportunity just for adults. Much younger entrepreneurs are interested in starting businesses and getting out there early, with crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter which is outlined in the Common Anomaly. The Common Anomaly provides an excellent general overview on starting businesses, managing general finances, interfacing with the stock market, and understanding new virtual currencies surfacing in the financial space. With a financial book “written by a teen, for teens,” Common Anomaly makes the complex topics of finance, business and entrepreneurship just a little more comprehensible for younger readers. This effort introduces both teens and adults to a book that tries to tone down the financial jargons and explain general business and finance in simpler terms, thus, making it “feel” more acceptable as a teaching tool for young people in the digital age.

Financial Engineering is a text with a methodological thread, making it appropriate as a reference text. Risk management and measure and control of volatility is a major theme, but broader financial issues are also covered to provide the reader with a conceptual framework to manipulate and evaluate financial instruments. Errington's text analyses the spectrum of financial engineering including explanations of financial axioms and mathematical techniques with a summary of the instruments and worked examples of how they operate. As well as risk management, arbitrageurs are also catered for, to show how instruments can be valued, deconstructed and repackaged.
