Описание: It's 2053, and the US has long since genetically engineered life successfully. "Moreaus," humanoid and animal hybrids, and "frankensteins," genetically manipulated humans, live as second-class citizens. The Moreau Quartet: Volume Two brings together two of S. Andrew Swann's novels set in the Moreau universe. In Emperors of the Twilight Evi is a frankenstein--the next step beyond human, her physiology bioengineered to make her the best Agency special operative in the business. When she's forced to go on the run from an unidentified hit team ready to destroy a skyscraper just to take her out, Evi's only hope is to evade her stalkers long enough to make contact with her superiors. But she soon discovers that even the Agency may not be able to save her. In Specters of the Dawn A moreau of rabbit stock, Angel Lopez is the last survivor of a Cleveland street gang. A tough street fighter in search of a haven, she's come to "tolerant" San Francisco only to find that even the old-fashioned kind of humans aren't keen on moreaus. Still, she thinks she's found a home and safety until Byron the fox barges into her life, dragging her into the deadly underground of information-peddling, and a series of confrontations that may blow not just San Francisco but the whole planet wide open.

Описание: Now in an omnibus edition, the Hostile Takeover trilogy introduces a planet where the only laws are those of self-preservation and profit. Bakunin is a world with a law unto itself--the only human-colonized planet that has consistently refused to join the Terran Confederacy or permit any form of organized government to take root. When the TEC, the covert operations and enforcement branch of the Confederacy, decides to do something about Bakunin, Colonel Klaus Dacham is the man they put in charge. His opening target is Dominic Magnus, the head of Godwin Arms and Armament. Though Dom loses the first battle, he, his allies, and his surviving employees carefully plan their own return strike. Until they receive a desperate message from one of their own, revealing what the TEC is really up to on Bakunin. Suddenly, the stakes are far beyond personal revenge. Bakunin is about to become an unwitting pawn in a Confederacy-wide power struggle. And to the mastermind behind the entire plan, it doesn't really matter whether anyone on the planet is left alive at the end of it--so long as TEC achieves its goal.

Описание: Combining the first and fourth novels of S. Andrew Swann's genre-spanning series, The Moreau Quartet: Volume One centers on moreau private detective Nohar Rajasthan, and includes a new afterword by the author. It's 2053, and the U.S. has long since genetically engineered life successfully. "Moreaus," humanoid and animal hybrids, and "frankensteins," genetically manipulated humans, live as second-class citizens. Nohar Rajasthan is a moreau, a humanoid of tiger stock. Raised by a human after his parents' death, Nohar ekes out a career as a private eye. Mixing science fiction with detective thrillers, Nohar's story leaps off the page with all the nonstop excitement and danger of an action blockbuster. In Forests of the NightWhen Nohar accepts a commission from a frankenstein to investigate the death of the campaign manager of a local politico, all hell breaks loose. Nohar finds himself targeted by everyone from local cops to federal agents to a drug-running gang to an assassin with a 100% kill rate. In Fearful Symmetries Nohar retired from the private eye business ten years ago, and just wants to spend his remaining time in the peace and quiet of his wilderness homestead. So when a human lawyer asks him to take on a missing moreau case, he refuses--and soon after is attacked by a paramilitary team. Now Nohar must find the missing moreau and discover why some- one wants him dead.
Описание: There are two fundamentally different approaches to innovation: incremental and radical. In Economics as Anatomy, G.M. Peter Swann argues that economics as a discipline needs both perspectives in order to create the maximum beneficial effect for the economy.
Chapters explore how and why mainstream economics is very good at incremental innovation but seems uncomfortable with radical innovation. Swann argues that economics should follow the example of many other disciplines, transitioning from one field to a range of semi-autonomous sub-disciplines. In this book, he compares the missing link in empirical economics to being the economic equivalent of anatomy, the basis of medical discourse.
Working as a sequel to Swann's Putting Econometrics in its Place, this book will be a vital resource to those who are discontent with the state of mainstream economics, especially those actively seeking to promote change in the discipline. Students wishing to see progress in the teaching of economics will also benefit from this timely book.
