Micro-level decisions made by local politicians in Brazil or India, national-level strategies of countries like China and Russia, and multi-national regimes, policies, and norms are all affecting global businesses in significant and often surprising ways. In a globalized world, managers and investors are increasingly realizing that politics matter as much as economic fundamentals.

And while some readers might be disappointed after realizing they've jumped to the wrong conclusions, I was thrilled! I'm rarely surprised by novels and Carter's twists had me turned completely around.For those of you who haven't read these novels, I assure you that there are always plenty of scenes with cute, smart boys. And there were some twists that I thought I saw coming, but I was totally wrong. There were definitely some twists that I didn't see coming. OTGSY delivers everything that I've come to expect from a Gallagher Girls novel. Each one is as action-packed as the last, there are more hilarious discussions and one-liners, and the plot is always twistier than ever. Ally Carter never ceases to impress and ONLY THE GOOD SPY YOUNG is a wonderful addition to the series! Sometimes, in series, there will be a book or two that serves as a bridge between more exciting installments, but this isn't the case with Carter's books. The Gallagher Girls books are my guilty pleasure reads. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The source of its continuity and legitimacy was the ideal of a unified Christian civilization, but this did not prevent emperors from clashing with the pope over supremacy - the nadir being the sack of Rome in 1527 that killed 147 Vatican soldiers. Yet the Empire remained stubbornly abstract, with no fixed capital and no common language or culture. By the mid-tenth century its core rested in the German kingdom, and ultimately its territory stretched from France and Denmark to Italy and Poland. Heart of Europe traces the Empire from its origins within Charlemagne's kingdom in 800 to its demise in 1806. ![]() And its legacy can be seen today in debates over the nature of the European Union. Yet as Peter Wilson shows, the Holy Roman Empire tells a millennial story of Europe better than the histories of individual nation-states. Voltaire distilled the disdain of generations when he quipped it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. Yet this formidable dominion never inspired the awe of its predecessor. The Holy Roman Empire lasted a thousand years, far longer than ancient Rome. ![]() |
