Book Description
Deranged devices and comic contraptions from the highly inventive and hilarious genius behind The Book of Bunny Suicides. Much like his hero, Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci, bestselling author Andy Riley is not just an artist (or a liar)—he's an inventor. Imagine, if you will: • The easily assembled Pole-Dancing-Club-in-a-Briefcase for stranded businessmen • Christmas tree ornaments that provide surveillance to instantly tell Santa if you?ve been bad or good • A high-speed police response unit aptly named the Cop Catapult • The Arsehole Trap, which can clear an average size town of arseholes in a single day with its promise of Big Brother auditions Like a twenty-first-century Rube Goldberg on the wrong mix of meds, in DIY Dentistry and Other Alarming Inventions Andy Riley has created elaborate inventions that are often side-splittingly sociopathic and never short of patently hysterical.

Book Description
Bunnies, be free and happy! Small kids, knowledge is yours once more! Cartoon master of the dastardly and deranged, Andy Riley, has left behind his previous bugbears and turned his bizarre attentions to the world of inventions. DIY Dentistry shows what happens when a bored, macabre intelligence involves itself with blue-sky thinking - a high-speed police response unit enabled by The Cop Catapult, a Solitaire Boxing device for the lonely pugilist and An Arsehole Trap which deals quickly, and appropriately, with wannabe Big Brother candidates. These, and many other freakish twists of the imagination, come alive in this hilarious, sometimes thought-provoking (mostly not), brilliant new collection.

The New Poverty

Author: Stephen Armstrong
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1786634651
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257

Book Description
75 years after the Beveridge Report: The shocking extent of hardship in the UK Right now in the UK, 13 million people live in poverty; one in five children subsist below the poverty line. Figures such as these suggest devastating repercussions for health, education and life expectancy. The new poor, however, is an even larger group than these official statistics suggest, and its conditions are something new to our era. More often than not, these people are the working poor, living precariously and betrayed by austerity. In The New Poverty, Stephen Armstrong tells the stories of the most vulnerable in British society. He explores an unreported country, abandoned by politicians and stranded as the welfare state has shrunk. Furthermore, as benefit cuts continue into 2018 and beyond, Armstrong asks what will be the long-term impact of Brexit and—on the anniversary of the Beveridge Report—what we can do to keep the giants of indigence at bay.

Towards a New International Monetary Order

Author: Koen Byttebier
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319525182
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 516

Book Description
This book presents a thorough and critical evaluation of the monetary and financial system prevalent in Western economies. Further, it seeks to explain why this system so often leads to financial crises and why they have been dealt with unsatisfactorily in the past. In order to provide answers to these questions, the book investigates the monetary and financial system from a multidisciplinary perspective, with a strong focus on the ethical value choices which throughout history have shaped the monetary and financial legal system. In the closing chapters, the book also advances a detailed proposal for a New Global Monetary Order, one based on altruism, as an alternative to the neoliberal values dominant today.
