Nellie Pope goaded her lover to axe her husband in what the press called "one of the most atrocious, cold-blooded, and deliberately-planned murders" in city history. 

Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts." Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.

Among the piles of obsolete farm and household implements, haystacks, dust, and debris abandoned in her historic barn, Katie Aldridge discovered a box containing the Civil War letters of Charles Freeman Biddlecom. Painstakingly transcribing and lightly editing more than 100 letters written by the soldier to his wife during his service, Ms. Aldridge resurrected the voice of the Civil War combat soldier. The tone and character of "Charlie's" detailed accounts of the war compelled Ms. Aldridge to find out more.  

Between 1927 and 1979, more than 8,000 people were involuntarily sterilized in five hospitals across the state of Virginia. From this plain and terrible fact springs Elizabeth Catte's Pure America, a sweeping, unsparing history of eugenics in Virginia, and by extension the United States.

In 1961, Thomas Schelling's The Strategy of Conflict used game theory to radically reenvision the US-Soviet relationship and establish the basis of international relations for the rest of the Cold War. Now, Anne-Marie Slaughter - one of Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinkers from 2009 to 2012, and the first woman to serve as director of the State Department Office of Policy Planning - applies network theory to develop a new set of strategies for the post-Cold War world.

For two centuries, the Framers' ideas about political corruption flourished in the courts, even in the absence of clear rules governing voters, civil officers, and elected officials. In the 1970s, the U.S. Supreme Court began to narrow the definition of corruption, and the meaning has since changed dramatically. No case makes that clearer than Citizens United.

Thinkers have been fascinated by paradox since long before Aristotle grappled with Zeno's. In this volume in The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Margaret Cuonzo explores paradoxes and the strategies used to solve them. She finds that paradoxes are more than mere puzzles but can prompt new ways of thinking. A paradox can be defined as a set of mutually inconsistent claims, each of which seems true. Paradoxes emerge not just in salons and ivory towers but in everyday life.

Psychotherapists and sleep specialists Jennifer and Jill, the dynamic "girlfriends" all of Hollywood calls on to solve Junior's sleep problems, have perfected their sleep technique that will get any child snoozing in no time - most often in fewer than three nights. The key to their method? It addresses the emotional needs of both the parent and the child (yes, how to handle the crying!) - a critical component of why most other sleep methods fail.

A tanker steaming through the deep Northwest Providence Channel of the Bahamas comes across a shocking sight: a lone dinghy carrying Captain Julian Harvey and the body of a young girl.

Eight years after its founding in Basildon, Essex, Depeche Mode, rooted in 1970s Krautrock, combined old-fashioned touring, well-crafted songs, and the steadfast support of KROQ to dominate Southern California, the United States, and then the world, kicking open the doors for the likes of Nirvana in the process. 101 is the hidden-in-plain-sight hinge of modern music history.

Als die Chefin des US-Repräsentantenhauses, Pelosi, Taiwan besucht und China mit Krieg droht, liegen die Nerven beim BND blank. Manfred Mor setzt alle Hebel in Bewegung, um Deutschland so schnell wie möglich von der Taiwanischen Halbleiterindustrie unabhängig zu machen. Anna soll nach Taiwan reisen, um einen Wirtschaftsspion zu treffen. Doch auch Nadine Dietz taucht auf und versucht Anna, mit einer Ehrlichkeitsoffensive für ihre Sache zu gewinnen. Der Lohn ist ein Kontakt zu dem Mann, der Tatjana Gudwin noch vor kurzem getroffen hat, ehe sie in Berlin verschwand.

Nach dem versuchten Mordanschlag auf Klaus Gudwin im Keller der Villa beginnt für Anna Gudwin eine fieberhafte Suche nach der Täterin. Denn diese wird es erneut versuchen, so viel steht fest. Während Manfred Mor wie üblich ein doppeltes Spiel zu spielen scheint und keine große Hilfe ist, wartet Jody Reed mit einer heißen Spur auf: Eine "Schwarze Witwe" - die Tochter eines gefallenen tschetschenischen Widerstandskämpfers - will sich an dem BND-Agenten rächten, der den Tod ihres Vaters zu verantwortet hatte.

Zurück in Berlin verfolgt Anna Gudwin die Spuren und Hinweise zu ihrer Mutter. Dabei wird die Tarnidentität Hannah Herold zum Problem. Auch Manfred Mor will Unterstützung nicht versprechen, obwohl Jody Reed sicher ist, dass er dank "Maximator" ein gutes Informationsnetzwerk in Europa habe.

Nachdem sich die Ereignisse zuletzt überschlugen, lässt Anna ihr Leben Revue passieren. Die Pariser Wohnung ist eine Zeitkapsel, die viele Erinnerungen an Annas Kindheit und Jugend auslöst. War ihre Agenten-Karriere von langer und unbekannter Hand geplant? Hatte Klaus Gudwin - der Vater, der ihren Vater ermordete - schon seit Annas frühester Kindheit geplant, sie in genau diese Situation zu bringen? Und welche Rolle spielt ihre verschwunden Mutter Tatjana dabei - die aufgrund der Faktenlage nicht Annas leibliche Mutter sein kann?
