The Common Thread: Mothers and Daughters: The Bond We Never Outgrow
No relationship is more fulfilling, infuriating, emotional, and problematic than that of mother and daughter Now, in a work filled with truth, surprises, and humor, renowned psychologist and author Martha Manning offers mothers and daughters of all ages a new way to understand each other. Challenging the accepted premise that this powerful bond must be severed for emotional growth, Manning shows us why this precious attachment is never outgrown, how, if it is damaged, it can be healed, and what will enrich this lifelong commitment while fostering essential independence. The key is empathy, and Manning provides potent tools to help us build stronger ties and celebrate the crazy twists, joys, and secrets inherent in this most glorious of life connections. Combining personal experiences and scrupulous research, The Common Thread helps each of us develop a mutually empowering relationship -- and laugh, too -- as we more deeply connect with and appreciate the mother or daughter we love. .

Mad Money: When Markets Outgrow Governments
The world's financial system is crazier and even more out of control than it was ten years ago. Mad Money analyzes the erratic nature of change and innovation in financial business in recent years and discusses the weak points--political as well as economic and technical--of a system driven more by volatile markets than by governments. The central issue is global finance; "mad money" is how Susan Strange characterizes the alternately rampant and depressed financial markets of recent years. She sets out here to diagnose the sources and nature of the problem of markets having outgrown governments and to examine its social and political ramifications. Opinionated and brilliantly argued, Mad Money will surely provoke controversy and generate many conversations.
Susan Strange's previous book, Casino Capitalism, established her as an authority on international finance and the basic structures of the international political economy. This sequel will reach not only scholars and students but a wider readership, including everyone worried by the yo-yoing of stock markets, the currency turmoil in Asia, and the general mismanagement of money by governments and international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
"In her patented provocative and compelling style, Susan Strange offers us an illuminating, often dark, image of the changing nature of international relations in the next century. Although a liberal at heart, her critical approach in this work challenges many of the central normative assumptions of an unfettered regulatory future of great prosperity and little conflict. This effort represents a cumulative statement of one of the senior scholars of our generation and cannot be ignored." --Simon Reich, University of Pittsburgh
"Chutzpah! That's what Susan Strange has long demonstrated in her research, teaching, and writing. Even those who see the world differently will respect what she has accomplished here." --Louis W. Pauly, University of Toronto
Susan Strange is Professor of International Political Economy, University of Warwick.

Solitary Journey: If You've Outgrown Your Childhood God... Get to Know the God You'll Never Outgrow
Solitary JourneyHilary Blake, a kindergarten teacher from Branson, Missouri, suffered through a six-year marriage with a man who complained about everything he could think of, including the way she dusted the ivy. She eventually discovered he did not love her when she was six months into her first pregnancy. He denied the baby was his and announced he was gay. His abuse caused Hilary to loose her baby, and Hilary divorced him. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she decided to take a trip through Texas as soon as school was out. She had almost three months vacation time and she started on her journey through the Lone Star State. When she met Josh Timmons, who was supremely handsome, she decided to relax and experience sexual pleasure for a change. Though Josh usually used protection, he neglected to use any with Hilary, and because she had been married so long, she didn't think of it. This resulted in pregnancy. Josh was extremely jealous of Hilary and he was eager to marry her. But he was still in the University of Texas working on his Ph.D. Hilary refused to let him quit school until his education was complete. She journeyed through Texas looking for a teaching job, which seemed to evade her at every stop. She did encounter another man, Ed Wheatly, who seemed perfect. Before it was over, she questioned the wisdom of marrying either man. She decided to have and rear her child alone, if only she could find a job. It didn't turn out that way at all. The trip she took was indeed a Solitary Journey. .
