A sweeping yet intimate portrait of modern China told through the lives of four ordinary women striving for a better future in a highly unequal society. While serving as the deputy Beijing bureau chief of the Financial Times, Chinese-British journalist Yuan Yang began to notice common threads in the lives of her Chinese peers-women born during China’s turn toward capitalism in the 1980s and 1990s, who, despite the country’s enormous economic gains during their lifetimes, were coming up against deeply entrenched barriers as they sought to achieve financial stability. The product of seven years of intimate, in-depth reporting, this transporting and indelible book traces the journey of four such women as they try to make better lives for themselves and their families in the new Chinese economy.

Free Download The Private Lives of the Tudors: Uncovering the Secrets of Britain’s Greatest Dynasty by Tracy Borman
English | October 17, 2017 | ISBN: 0802127541 | 464 pages | PDF | 22 Mb
England’s Tudor monarchs―Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I―are perhaps the most celebrated and fascinating of all royal families in history. Their love affairs, their political triumphs, and their overturning of the religious order are the subject of countless works of popular scholarship. But for all we know about Henry’s quest for male heirs, or Elizabeth’s purported virginity, the private lives of the Tudors remain largely beyond our grasp. In The Private Lives of the Tudors, Tracy Borman delves deep behind the public face of the monarchs, showing us what their lives were like beyond the stage of court. Drawing on the accounts of those closest to them, Borman examines Tudor life in fine detail. What did the monarchs eat? What clothes did they wear, and how were they designed, bought, and cared for? How did they practice their faith? And in earthlier moments, who did they love, and how did they give birth to the all-important heirs? Delving into their education, upbringing, sexual lives, and into the kitchens, bathrooms, schoolrooms, and bedrooms of court, Borman charts out the course of the entire Tudor dynasty, surfacing new and fascinating insights into these celebrated figures.

A look at the perpetrators of the Auschwitz crimes from a new, little-known, and sometimes surprising perspective. The book contains selected accounts by Polish women who worked in the homes of officers and enlisted men from hte Auschwitz SS garnison. Each text vividly describes the family life and domestic relations that prevailed in the homes of these SS men. Specific fragments of the book: "At home, Hoess was ideal. He loved the children. He liked to lie down with them on the sofa in their room. He kissed them, caressed them, and talked to them in a lovely way. Past the threshold of the house he changed totally. He never said a word to me." – Danuta Rzempiel "Scholz seemed to be satisfied with his position. He was the lord of his house. He always came home for meals, which he wanted to be served to him in the dining room, and he checked that the tablecloth was changed for a clean one every day." – Weronika Chorąży "For me, the most unpleasant work was shining Frank’s boots. To me, they stank of corpses. Once they had some visitors, and Frank took them for a tour of the camp. When they came back I was supposed to clean all their shoes, but I couldn’t do the job because the shoes were so stinking that I had to turn away and kept feeling nauseous. Frau Frank even got angry with me for taking so long with the shoes when she needed me. She seemed not to understand many things." – Alfreda Babiuch

Free Download Andrew S. Gold, "The Oxford Handbook of the New Private Law "
English | ISBN: 0190919663 | 2020 | 640 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The Oxford Handbook of the New Private Law reflects exciting developments in scholarship dedicated to reinvigorating the study of the broad field of private law. This field embraces the traditional common law subjects (property, contracts, and torts), as well as adjacent, more statutory areas, such as intellectual property and commercial law. It also includes important areas that have been neglected in the United States but are beginning to make a comeback. These include unjust enrichment, restitution, equity, and remedies more generally. "Private law" can also mean private law as a whole, which invites consideration of issues such as the public-private distinction, the similarities and differences between the various areas of private law, and the institutional framework supporting private law – including courts, arbitrators, and even custom.

Free Download Stephen Morris, "Robust Mechanism Design: The Role of Private Information and Higher Order Beliefs"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 981437458X | EPUB | pages: 472 | 7.2 mb
Foreword by Eric Maskin (Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2007)This volume brings together the collected contributions on the theme of robust mechanism design and robust implementation that Dirk Bergemann and Stephen Morris have been working on for the past decade. The collection is preceded by a comprehensive introductory essay, specifically written for this volume with the aim of providing the readers with an overview of the research agenda pursued in the collected papers.The introduction selectively presents the main results of the papers, and attempts to illustrate many of them in terms of a common and canonical example, namely a single unit auction with interdependent values. It is our hope that the use of this example facilitates the presentation of the results and that it brings the main insights within the context of an important economic mechanism, namely the generalized second price auction.

Free Download Carlos Oliveira Cruz, "Public Private Partnerships Renegotiations in Transportation: Case Studies from Portugal "
English | ISBN: 3030985105 | 2022 | 207 pages | PDF | 6 MB
There is a growing interest in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), particularly in infrastructure and public services. Under the scope of PPPs, renegotiations are becoming more relevant, as empirical evidence suggests that most PPP projects are inevitably renegotiated, i.e., the original contract needs to be adapted to new and unforeseen circumstances. Renegotiations have a substantial impact on the contract and performance of a PPP and usually represent significant costs for users and taxpayers. However, very little is known about the management and, mainly, the process of renegotiating that will, very likely, occur.
