    ‘The rock cast a sharp, dark shadow over a shape huddled on the ground. Please don’t let it be the boy, Colomba thought. Her silent prayer didn’t go unanswered. The corpse belonged to the mother.’

When a young child goes missing in similar circumstances in Rome, Torre must confront the demons of his past to attempt to solve the case.

    Paired with Deputy Captain Colomba Caselli, a fierce, warrior-like detective still reeling from having survived a bloody catastrophe, all evidence suggests The Father is active after being dormant for decades, and that he’s looking forward to a reunion with Dante …

  • Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach, 4th Edition

    INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS: A MODERN APPROACH, 4e illustrates how empirical researchers think about and apply econometric methods in real-world practice. The text’s unique approach reflects the fact that undergraduate econometrics has moved beyond just a set of abstract tools to being genuinely useful for answering questions in business, policy evaluation, and forecasting environments. The systematic approach, which reduces clutter by introducing assumptions only as they are needed, makes absorbing the material easier and leads to better econometric practices. Its unique organization separates topics by the kinds of data being analyzed, leading to an appreciation for the important issues that arise in drawing conclusions from the different kinds of data economists use. Packed with relevant applications, INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS offers a wealth of interesting data sets that can be used to reproduce the examples in the text or as the starting point for original research projects.

  • Ctrl Alt Delete: Reboot Your Business. Reboot Your Life. Your Future Depends on It

    Just a few years ago, all you or your company needed was a modest website and a toll-free telephone number. Those days are, of course, long gone. Keeping your customers and clients happy – and trying to attract new ones – demands an entirely new and innovative approach to online commerce.

    Mitch Joel, one of the world’s leading experts in this area, warns that the time has come to hit the CTRL ALT DEL buttons on your computer, and to start building your e-commerce platform and business model from scratch. If you don’t, Joel warns, not only will your company begin to slide backwards, but you might find yourself unemployable within five years.

    That’s a very strong warning, but in his new book, Joel explains the convergence of five key factors that are changing online business forever. He outlines what you need to know to adapt right now. He also points to the seven triggers that will help you take advantage of these game-changing factors.

    In short, this is not a book about ‘change management’ but rather a book about ‘changing both you AND your business model.’
