IL MALE CHE SOPRAVVIVE
by Vianka Van Bokkem Carmen Ferrante4 Marzo 1943 Mia sorella di nove mesi è morta oggi d fame e di sete, il suo corpicino è stato preso da un soldato tedesco e portato dal campo di concentramento a uno di quei tanti profondi forni dove i corpi vengono cremati, ma prima di farlo alcune lacrime scesero sul suo volto. Ce ne stavamo seduti sulla bagnata e fredda terra, tenendoci per mano; sapevo che avremmo raggiunto presto mia sorella.
IL PIANTO DELL'ISOLA DI PASQUA
by Jose Vicente Alfaro Riccardo Valentino CassettaSuspense con tratti storici Un archeologo spagnolo entra a far parte di ambiziosi scavi che pretendono far luce su numerosi enigmi che ancora oggi persistono sull'isola di Pasqua. Un crimine atroce e il sospetto di trovarsi davanti a una scoperta antropologica sensazionale, lo collocheranno al centro di una cospirazione che finirà per farlo diventare involontariamente protagonista. Dopo il successo del suo primo romanzo (La speranza del Tibet), José Vicente Alfaro ci propone ora un viaggio pieno di suspense in uno dei luoghi più accattivanti del pianeta. Attraverso le sue pagine avremo occasione di conoscere la cultura Rapa Nui e realizzare un percorso lungo la storia dell'isola, soffermandoci nei suoi episodi più rilevanti: l'origine incerto dei primi colonizzatori, la costruzione e il trasferimento dei giganti moai, le terribili guerre interne, il culto all'uomo uccello, la sua misteriosa scrittura geroglifica, il contatto con i primi esploratori europei e l'evangelizzazione realizzata dai missionari cattolici, un po' prima della sua definitiva annessione al Cile alla fine del XIX secolo. Sei pronto a svelare il miglior segreto nascosto dell'isola?

IMF Performance in the Run-Up to the Financial and Economic Crisis: IMF Surveillance in 2004-07
by International Monetary FundThis evaluation assesses the performance of IMF surveillance in the run-up to the global financial and economic crisis and offers recommendations on how to strengthen the IMF's ability to discern risks and vulnerabilities and to warn the membership in the future. It finds that the IMF provided few clear warnings about the risks and vulnerabilities associated with the impending crisis before its outbreak. The banner message was one of continued optimism after more than a decade of benign economic conditions and low macroeconomic volatility. The IMF, in its bilateral surveillance of the United States and the United Kingdom, largely endorsed policies and financial practices that were seen as fostering rapid innovation and growth. The belief that financial markets were fundamentally sound and that large financial institutions could weather any likely problem lessened the sense of urgency to address risks or to worry about possible severe adverse outcomes. Surveillance also paid insufficient attention to risks of contagion or spillovers from a crisis in advanced economies. Advanced economies were not included in the Vulnerability Exercise launched after the Asian crisis, despite internal discussions and calls to this effect from Board members and others.

IN Writing: Uncovering the Unexpected Hoosier State
by Douglas A. Wissing“Quirky, well-crafted essays” by an award-winning journalist about his home state of Indiana, filled with characters famous, notorious, and unknown (Indianapolis Star).Fueled by an insider’s view of Indiana and the state’s often surprising connections to the larger world, IN Writing is revelatory. It is Indiana in all its glory: sacred and profane; saints and sinners; war and peace; small towns and big cities; art, architecture, poetry and victuals. It’s about Hoosier talent and Hoosier genius: the courageous farmer-soldiers who ardently try to win the hearts and minds of twenty-first century Afghan insurgents; the artisans whose work pulses with the aesthetics of faraway homelands; and the famous modernist poet who had to leave to make his mark. It’s about places that speak to a wider world: Columbus and its remarkable architecture; New Harmony and its enduring idealism; Indianapolis and its world-renowned Crown Hill cemetery. IN Writing makes visible the unexpected bonds between Indiana and the world at large.
INSIDE CENTRAL AMERICA: The Essential Facts Past and Present on El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica
by Phillip BerrymanSince 1979, United States policy in Central America has been based on an assumption that revolutionary movements led by Marxists must represent a serious threat to U.S. interests and security. On this point, the difference between liberals and conservatives is merely one of emphasis or accent.Such an assumption is not shared by most governments in Western Europe and Latin America. In part, these countries base their positions on their understanding of the originas of the present crisis--that is, the history, both remote and recent, of Central America.(Original publication 6/85)

IRA Terror on Britain’s Streets 1939–1940: The Wartime Bombing Campaign and Hitler Connection
by Dick KirbyIt is little known today that, in January 1939, the IRA launched a bombing campaign, codenamed The S - or Sabotage - Plan on mainland England. With cynical self-justification, they announced that it was not their intention to harm human life but in just over a year, more than 300 explosive devices resulted in 10 deaths, 96 injuries and widespread devastation. London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and many other towns and cities were targeted. On 25 August 1939, detectives in London defused three devices set to detonate that afternoon at 2.30 and arrested four terrorists. At the same time an identical bomb exploded in Coventry city centre killing five civilians and injuring 50, the highest body count of the campaign. Numerous arrests were made nationwide but ill-trained personnel and additional national security resulting from the threat of Nazi invasion caused the campaign to falter and fade away in early 1940. The author, a former detective, is well qualified to write this book, having spent 18 months in Northern Ireland combatting terrorism, for which he was commended by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Lord Imbert, for displaying ‘courage, dedication and detective ability’.
IS-2 Heavy Tank 1944-73
by Steven Zaloga Peter SarsonThe Iosef Stalin tanks were the ultimate heavy tanks developed by the Soviet Union and were popularly called 'Victory tanks' due to their close association with the defeat of Germany in 1945. Yet in spite of their reputation, the Stalin tanks emerged from a troubled design, had a brief moment of glory in 1944 and 1945, and disappeared in ignominy after 1960. This title covers the events contributing to the Soviet Union's need to design the new series, with particular reference to the unsuccessful KV series and the advent of a new generation of heavy German tanks including the Tiger. It also covers their development, operational history and myriad variants. From the Trade Paperback edition.
