Startup Asia:Top Strategies for Cashing in on Asia´s Innovation Boom Rebecca A. Fannin

Ted Sweeney. Affable everyman in small-town Montana. Tailgate hung on with baling wire, owner of his own business. Ten minutes ago, his biggest worry had been how to pay for the engagement ring rattling around in his pocket. But that was before he came home to find a corpse tidily arranged in his favorite recliner, his ´´old pal of a piece of furniture´´. Is it a warning or a setup or what? Sweeney can´t help but admire the efficiency of the work, the slice deep across the guy´s throat. Somebody knew what they were doing. Sweeney dumps the body into the Yellowstone River without attracting attention. But over the next few days, as the corpse tumbles its way downstream, Sweeney´s complicated circumstances gradually start rolling into the unflattering light. His is a story that includes the waning days of Italian wise guys in Brooklyn, the rise of the Russian mafia, and his own reluctant retreat into the witness protection program. Throw in a bag of uncut ´´rocks´´ (diamonds), an ex-wife turned country sheriff, a beloved mentor that might or might not be dead, and a former mistress cashing in favors, and we have a literary crime novel that shows how we can run from ourselves, but can never really hide. 1.

On paper, it´s pretend. But my heart knows what´s real. His proposal came in a little black envelope with 13 unlucky words: You still owe me that favor, doll, and I´m cashing in. Marry me. In a normal life, I´d never get hitched to Calvin Randolph. Not with his heart-stopping blue eyes, infamous player reputation, and an ego bigger than the part of his anatomy he loves boasting about the most. Been there, done that. All except the last part, which he´s left to my shameful imagination for seven years apart. Of course, the fake fiancée contract I just signed is anything but normal. Neither was the tragic day our schoolyard romance died, when he made an unspeakable sacrifice. He saved my life. He paid a terrible price. Now, I owe him big. He´s come to collect in make believe: the blushing lies, the sideways glances leaving me breathless, the teasing kisses every time his teeth grab my bottom lip in front of the world. It shouldn´t be this hard. It´s just pretend. It´s just a few weeks. I can totally resist the demanding, cold, obscenely handsome man he´s become. We have our rules. But the simple one I kept to myself might be harder: don´t fall in love. I already did that once. I know the risks. I won´t let it happen. Because if his charm steals my heart again, if I let him go all the way when his lips trace scary promises on mine, this paper engagement becomes real enough to ruin us....

In Putinomics, Chris Miller examines the making of Russian economic policy since Vladimir Putin took power in 1999. Miller argues that despite Russia´s corruption, cronyism, territorial expropriation, and over-dependency on oil as an economic driver, Putin´s economic strategy has functioned far more effectively than most Westerners realize. While acknowledging that part of Putin´s successes - above all, quadrupling per capita GDP in just a decade and a half - can be attributed to cashing in on high oil prices, Miller details the government policies that have also been fundamental to Russia´s growth, which has outpaced and outperformed comparable petro-states like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. While many scholars have long agreed that Russia has combined reasonably successful macroeconomic policies with mediocre micro policies, Miller argues that this dichotomy has not seeped very far into public debate. Thus, Putinomics at once analyzes Russia´s political economy in a way that nonspecialists can comprehend and complicates our understanding of contemporary Russia. 1. Language: English.

Summer Valentine has returned to Moonlight, South Carolina, a very different woman from the naive wallflower who left years before.

Sure, she took a fall. But at least she now knows where she stands... Despite her anger over the past, Summer believes David deserves a relationship with his father, Hunter ´´Hunt´´ McCroy. Though Hunt’s illustrious career has faded, privilege still protects him from his worst mistakes. Someone else is back in Moonlight too: Rhett Bryan, the golden boy of Hollywood, who’s taking stock of his own life after a tragic accident.

Groupon’s Biggest Deal Ever is the exclusive, behind-the-scenes account of the incredible rise of discount coupon giant Groupon and the compelling story of its offbeat founder, Andrew Mason, as he created a juggernaut of online commerce and ignited a consumer revolution that is disrupting how people shop all over the world. Love him for saving you 50 percent on last night’s Indian dinner or hate him for cashing in big when he could be losing millions for merchants and investors alike, Mason - Groupon’s thirtysomething founder and CEO - made an incredible gamble when he turned down Google’s $6 billion buyout offer to go it alone. The experts thought he was insane. Groupon was little more than two years old and staffed from top to bottom with twentysomethings. The wild ride couldn’t last, but Mason thought otherwise, and with dreams of a potential IPO that could be massive, he liked his odds. But did he make the right decision, or did he blow a chance to continue to grow ´´the fastest growing company in history”? Is Mason an Internet genius, or is he sitting on another bubble that could burst at any moment? While everyone has an opinion on Groupon, Frank Sennett has written the only inside account. With exclusive access, interviews, and documents that no one outside of the company has seen or been able to report on, Groupon’s Biggest Deal Ever has every twist and turn from start-up to IPO and is the real story of Mason’s audacious gamble and the meteoric rise of Groupon from start-up to $16.7 billion online giant. 1.
