In his latest masterwork of psychological suspense, the New York Times bestselling author of The Program, Warning Signs, and The Best Revenge peers into a troubled marriage to craft a shattering tale of secrecy, eroticism, betrayal, and murder. Psychologist Alan Gregory is juggling his responsibilities as a father, a husband, and doctor when a beautiful woman walks into his office with an astounding admission. Gibbs Storey believes that her husband may have murdered a woman. Then, Gibbs stuns Alan again with another revelation: She thinks there are other victims…and her husband is not finished killing yet.

Although the product of a self-proclaimed proletarian revolution, Soviet Russia was always dominated by an elite. Basing itself upon nearly two thousand people who served on the Communist Party''s Central Committee from 1917 to 1991, this is the first book to study the elite that ruled the world''s largest country throughout the entire period of Soviet rule. It is also the first to make full use of the rich sources available since the collapse of Communism. The authors profile the elite as a whole and looks more closely at fifteen individual members, identifying four elite generations. The book examines the evolving connection between Central Committee membership and administrative functions; the changing power and privileges of the elite and its relationship with the population; the Communist party and the top leaders; and the surprising extent to which the elite managed to maintain its position into the early years of post-communist Russia.

New York Times bestselling author Stephen White returns to his beloved Alan Gregory series with a taut, ripped-from-the-headlines crime story. Thankfully Alan and Lauren Gregory aren''t on the guest list when their affluent new neighbors hold a housewarming party--because the next morning, a rape accusation rocks the town of Boulder. And though Alan discovers he has a most unusual perspective into what truly happened after the party, he may not be able to stop crucial witnesses-and people close to him-from being murdered...

A fresh and compelling interpretation of Russian politics by a leading authority, this textbook focuses on political developments in the world''s largest country under Putin and Medvedev. Using a wealth of primary sources, it covers economic, social and foreign policy, and the ''system'' of politics that has developed in recent years. Opposing arguments are presented and students are encouraged to reach their own judgements on key events and issues such as privatisation and corruption. This textbook tackles timely topics such as gender and inequality issues; organised religion; the economic krizis; and Russia''s place in the international community. It uses numerous examples to place this powerful and richly-endowed country in context, with a focus on the place of ordinary people which shows how policy is translated to Russians'' everyday lives.

Russians are the world''s heaviest drinkers. The consumption of alcohol permeates family life, shapes the economy, and plays an occasional but striking role in the political leadership. It was in Russia in the 1980s that the most sustained attempt of its kind was made to eliminate alcohol abuse, and even drinking itself. Drawing upon a wide range of original sources, including interviews, surveys and the local press, Stephen White provides the first full-length study of this extraordinary campaign. He traces the profound influence of alcohol through Russian history, and charts the campaign from its initiation under Mikhail Gorbachev to its disappointing aftermath in the post-communist 1990s. Attractively written and fully illustrated, Russia Goes Dry, first published in 1995, is an entertaining as well as instructive guide to a changing society and a classic case study of the limitations of politically directed social reform.

Dramatic and confusing changes in what used to be the Soviet Union have transformed the world in which we live. Communist rule has given way to multiparty politics; a command economy is being painfully privatised; almost every social and cultural value has been overturned; and perestroika has now been swept away by the reforming policies of Boris Yeltsin. In turn, these policies are now challenged by a variety of conservative and nationalist forces. This fourth edition of Stephen White''s best-selling introductory text has been revised throughout. A new final chapter charts the first turbulent years of Yeltsin''s troubled presidency and the background to his radical policies. Clearly written but detailed and authoritative, After Gorbachev, like its predecessors, will continue to provide an unrivalled guide to the processes of transition, upheaval, and collapse which now characterise Russia and the post-Soviet republics.

Soviet Communism (1989) contains the full text of the 1986 new and significantly revised foundational documents of Soviet Communism, the Programme and Party Rules – changes agreed following Mikhail Gorbachev’s call for the radical and democratic reform of the Party and of the Soviet political system as a whole.

In this novel of "fascinating psychological suspense" (San Francisco Chronicle), Dr. Alan Gregory follows a trail of harrowing secrets, naked violence, and hidden shame into the haunted heart of a friend he thought he knew. And now, what Alan still doesn''t know might kill him.

"This is a book about membranes and proteins. Membranes, because they''re central to all life; proteins, because-well, because the three of us have all had life-long love affairs with membrane proteins. And love sometimes makes you take on totally crazy projects, like writing a textbook... So here we are, ten+ years after we first sat down to hash out a list of chapters that we though should go into a book on membranes and proteins. Our main ambition has been to bridge between the worlds of physical chemistry/biophysics on the one hand and molecular cell biology on the other, without losing ourselves completely in either one. Meaning that most readers will find the treatment of their own favorite subject both inadequate and superficial, while other areas are being given far too much weight-in fact, this is precisely what we''ve hoped to achieve, so please let us know!"--
