The U.S. Consumer Price Index plummets. Across the Atlantic, Germany's Import Price Index drops, followed by a sharp rise in Japan's GNP Deflator. Now, Market Movers shows financial professionals, economists, and government officials around the world how to track key market-moving statistics like these, and immediately assess their impact on global financial markets. This one-of-a-kind reference covers almost 100 of the leading economic indicators from the world's five most important economies: the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Japan. Its easy reference format treats each indicator in a separate section, divided into convenient menu headings. Readers interested in the U.K.'s latest Producer Price Index, for example, can turn to that heading and swiftly learn: what the indicator measures, where and when to find it, how it is compiled, how reliable it is, its seasonal effects, how to interpret it, and how to predict its future path to make better informed investment decisions.

Unclaimed Coast is an enthralling tale of triumph, told by three men passionate about the environment and challenging themselves to the extent of their abilities. The story covers each leg of their journey and dives into the island's fascinating history, wildlife and environment, Shackleton's legacy and previous attempts at circumnavigation. Circumnavigating South Georgia Island by kayak was attempted twice before the authors' successful expedition. Both attempts failed, thwarted by bad weather, lack of rations and exhaustion. South Georgia Island is an enigma. Technically an Antarctic island, it accommodates wildlife in stupendous numbers and is famously the island Shackleton and five men heroically sailed to in 1916 to send word of his men marooned on Elephant Island.

Mark Jones examines the making of a new child’s world in Japan between 1890 and 1930 and focuses on the institutions, groups, and individuals that reshaped both the idea of childhood and the daily life of children. Family reformers, scientific child experts, magazine editors, well-educated mothers, and other prewar urban elites constructed a model of childhood―having one’s own room, devoting time to homework, reading children’s literature, playing with toys―that ultimately became the norm for young Japanese in subsequent decades.This book also places the story of modern childhood within a broader social context―the emergence of a middle class in early twentieth century Japan. The ideal of making the child into a “superior student” (yutosei) appealed to the family seeking upward mobility and to the nation-state that needed disciplined, educated workers able to further Japan’s capitalist and imperialist growth. This view of the middle class as a child-centered, educationally obsessed, socially aspiring stratum survived World War II and prospered into the years beyond.

Penguins are perhaps the most beloved birds. On land, their behavior appears so humorous and expressive that we can be excused for attributing to them moods and foibles similar to our own. Few realize how complex and mysterious their private lives truly are, as most of their existence takes place far from our prying eyes, hidden beneath the ocean waves. This stunningly illustrated book provides a unique look at these extraordinary creatures and the cutting-edge science that is helping us to better understand them. Featuring more than 400 breathtaking photos, this is the ultimate guide to all 18 species of penguins, including those with retiring personalities or nocturnal habits that tend to be overlooked and rarely photographed.
A book that no bird enthusiast or armchair naturalist should do without, Penguins includes discussions of penguin conservation, informative species profiles, fascinating penguin facts, and tips on where to see penguins in the wild.
