In this adorable sequel to the 2017 hit GingerNutz, the eponymous orangutan supermodel hits Paris She's back! After becoming a breakout star in the fashion world, GingerNutz, the first Bornean-born orangutan supermodel, has landed in Paris for a whirlwind week of fittings, photo shoots and parties. Though born in humble jungle surroundings, the precocious primate quickly adjusts to life at the upper echelons of the fashion world: bookings at all the maisons de haute couture, front-row seats to the latest theater shows and hotel suites at the Ritz (with an unlimited supply of fresh bananas). In this sequel to GingerNutz: The Jungle Memoir of a Model Orangutan, we see the ginger-haired beauty cavorting about the famous landmarks of Paris--Notre Dame Cathedral, Café de Flore--and visiting the ateliers of storied fashion designers, including Azzedine Alaïa, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, Comme des Garçons and Dries Van Noten. Being the hottest model of the moment, GingerNutz will also model the latest styles--among them, Chanel, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, chosen at the Fall 2018 ready-to-wear shows in Paris by Grace Coddington. Michael Roberts' charming text and hand-drawn illustrations capture the wonder and whimsy of a glamorous but still naive young girl's adventures in Paris. The story of GingerNutz was inspired by legendary model and fashion editor Grace Coddington, the longtime creative director of American Vogue and a close friend of the author. British fashion journalist Michael Roberts (born 1947) is fashion royalty: former fashion director for Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, he has brought his impeccable style to his work as a writer, illustrator, art director and photographer. He has published several books of his illustrations, including The Snippy World of Michael Roberts and The Jungle ABC.

We live in a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the ‘polycrisis.’ Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? To answer these questions, economist and marxist commentator Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide ranging appraisal of the global situation. Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. His analysis unearths the fault lines left behind by our most recent financial meltdown and how they fuel the economic engines driving the ecological crisis and resurgence of inter-imperial conflict. What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism’s rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or plenary limits threatens both humanity and the planet.

Several important officials from the Vatican have gone missing. So has Blakely's aunt, Dr. Boone. She will stop at nothing to save her aunt. Can Blakely and Shawn find the culprits behind these disappearances before it's too late? Shawn is working at the Vatican and has been framed for the murder of a high-ranking Arch-Bishop, and he must uncover who is really behind his death. With his Holy weapon Zachariel, the mission should have been a simple one. But werewolf hunter and part werewolf herself, Blakely won't let Shawn take on this mission by himself. Especially since the deaths and the disappearances might be tied to her aunt's abduction. Together, they meet up with several other vampire hunters to find the Arch-Bishop's killer, locate the missing officials, and rescue Dr. Boone. To do that, Blakely, Shawn, and their rag-tag team have to fight against a slew of vampires, werewolves, and ancient gargoyles as they race against time. But there is more than meets the eye in Italy, and not everyone is whom they seem to be. And just when it appears that they have found out who is behind the murders and disappearances, they learn that they are fighting against something larger and older than any undead creature they've encountered before. A creature they might not be able to defeat. A creature that has more nefarious plans for Blakely's aunt than anything they could imagine. Fighting together, they crisscross Rome, trying to uncover the truth behind the vampires and werewolves in Rome, and bring Dr. Boone back from the brink of death. But will their efforts have the outcome they hope? Or will everything be lost as they battle with a creature almost as old as time itself? Discover this paranormal military series today!

"This anthology can be regarded as a companion volume to Confrontations in Sri Lanka : Sinhalese, LTTE and Others, where the first edition appeared in October 2009 and was sold out by mid-2010. It differs from the previous collection in assembling shorter essays written by Michael Roberts for a Sri Lankan audience, embracing also Sri Lankans and others abroad who are devoted to the contemporary sociology and politics of the land. Such interest, of course, extends to debates over its historical trajectories and stories." --Publisher website.
