Covering a range of countries from China, Japan, Brazil, and Mexico to the United States, Canada, Spain, France, and Hungary, this volume reveals the similarities and differences among populations in their reactions to the surveillance era and in the amount each knows about government monitoring. Topics deal with pertinent issues such as global, national, and local transfer of personal information about citizens' financial transactions, work, and travel. The authors also analyse the collaboration of government and the private sector in the collection and transfer of private information. A remarkable resource in understanding attitudes towards surveillance, security, and privacy, Surveillance, Privacy, and the Globalization of Personal Information is indispensable for anyone curious about what governments, the private sector, and citizens know about each other.

Elves are naughty. Troublemakers. Pranksters. Tinkers. But you've never met elves like this. Stanky, Planky, and Cranky are forever causing trouble in the Gibbs' house - and they always get away with it too. However, the Gibbs family has a new pet - a beautiful puppy called Archie - who rumbles the elves' horrible games straight away. So the rotten elves hatch a terrible, stinky plan to get rid of the innocent dog once and for all: The Christmas Poop Plan. It's a plan so evil and foul that it will ruin Christmas for the entire family. However Stanky, Cranky and Planky are about to find out what happens when you are meanies all of the time... The Christmas Poop Plan is a funny Christmas book aimed at children aged between four and eight. Written by bestselling author Martin Smith and his seven-year-old daughter Emily, it is a festive story about hope, being brave, never giving up and ... lots of poop. The story behind The Poop Plan. Martin has cystic fibrosis and wrote the bestselling Charlie Fry Series after retiring from work due to a deterioration in his condition. Emily has always wanted to write a book with her dad - and came up with the characters and plot herself. All Martin did was transform the wonderful ideas into a story for primary school children to be able to enjoy. Why The Christmas Poop Plan? The book was originally called The Christmas Miracle - except that had already been taken. We had the same problem with The Christmas Angel. Yet the book is centred around the elves' dastardly plan to ruin Christmas through poop - so The Christmas Poop Plan seemed the logical choice! Who will the book appeal to? It is aimed at children aged between four and eight. If you like an elf on the shelf with a dose of David Walliams too, then this will be right up your street!

When an eco-friendly sister takes sweet vengeance on her sex-in-the-city socialite sibling, our shallow, materialistic heroine avoids destitution by joining forces with the new-age family her sister left behind. Condemned to the purgatory of working as an au pair for a family who prefer lentil stew over Beef Wellington, she is forced to swop Harvey Nichols’ Prada for Charity Shop Primark, and bring forth the maternal instincts that she’d happily traded in at birth for a glitzy London career. Despite her determination to remain unsullied by the hippy lifestyle she is forced to inhabit, she forms an unlikely alliance with her three young charges. Lovers for breakfast and spiritual choices no deeper than deciding which Alexander McQueen outfit to wear with her latest impossibly high heels, is the life she left behind and desperately wants back. But our heroine falls for a man as deep as she is shallow, and for the first time in her life begins to build - and fight for - relationships that actually mean something. In this fast-paced, wickedly funny satirical comedy, our anti-heroine learns that on the way to getting even, being square isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
