Emporium / by Machado, Aditi,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (page 108).In Emporium, Aditi Machado investigates transnationalism and translation in poems that follow a merchant woman as she travels a twenty-first century "silk route." As on the original silk route, this merchant is engaged in economic transactions but also cultural exchanges, un-monetizeable reciprocities, the sensory excesses of the marketplace: coins moving from hand to hand, the smell of food and sweat infusing the air, the "noise" of translation and multilingualism. Is this tradeswoman in control of her "destiny"/business or is she a commodity of impenetrable global forces? Her investigative, digressive travel seems a way to interrogate history and money and her own entanglement in such irresistible threads.James Laughlin Award Winner, 2019

Capital : a critique of political economy. by Marx, Karl,1818-1883,author.(CARDINAL)138286; Fowkes, Ben,translator.(CARDINAL)807697; Mandel, Ernest,author of introduction, etc.(CARDINAL)153260;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, Capital is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and create fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. Capital rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia in Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as "the Bible of the working class."--Back cover

Point option : a time-travel military thriller. / by O'Connor, Ian A.,1944-author.(CARDINAL)872192;

"United States Air Force Major Dave Fleming has a job men would kill for. As one of three exchange fighter pilots chosen to fly with the premier US Navy attack squadron aboard America's newest aircraft carrier, little does he know that his life is about to be changed forever! Point Option is a time-travel thriller that unfolds over a tense, six-day period aboard the aircraft carrier Lyndon Baines Johnson on patrol with its Strike Group in the Mediterranean Sea. Suddenly, and without warning, Fleming's hyper-dangerous world of flying off a pitching deck turns into a pilot's worst nightmare. Point Option is jam-packed with more twists and turns than an out-of-control fighter jet; a world where Major Fleming finds himself an unwitting passenger on a supersonic ride into the deepest unknown destination - a place where even angels fear to tread. The odds for his survival are bleak, and any hope for escape will challenge all the finely honed skills he can muster. It's now become a matter of time; and time is his one commodity that is fast running out!" --
