Mark Twain (1835—1910) was an American writer, journalist, and publisher. Among his most famous novels are "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and its sequel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". Most of his fi nest work includes many genres such as humor, satire, and philosophical fiction. The novel "Tom Sawyer, Detective" is a sequel to the book "Tom Sawyer Abroad" continuing the story of one of the most famous of Twain's characters. Since the detective genre was very popular back in the day, in this book Tom tries to solve a mysterious murder. Like in "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Huck Finn tells the whole story in first-person

Mark Twain is one of the world's most beloved authors. His classic tales of Tom Sawyer and his good friend Huckleberry Finn have delighted readers for generations • In this story, Tom is not satisfied with his life on the Mississippi River and begins to seek out a new adventure. He decides to embark on a crusade to "recover the Holy Land from the paynim." Tom, Huck and their friend Jim ride a hot air balloon over the oceans to far away lands. As the balloon reaches Africa "Tom Sawyer, Erronot" (aeronaut) and his friends meet up with lions, caravans and dervishes. They see the pyramids of Egypt and eventually end up on Mt Sinai before returning home to the waiting arms of Aunt Polly • Handsomely illustrated, Tom Sawyer Abroad is another Mark Twain classic and treasure

Huck Finn spits, swears, smokes a pipe and never goes to school. With his too-big clothes and battered straw hat, Huck is in need of 'civilising', and the Widow Douglas is determined to take him in hand. And wouldn't you know, Huck's no-good Pap is also after him and he locks Huck up in his cabin in the woods. But Huck won't stand too much of this, and after a daring escape, he takes off down the Mississippi on a raft with a runaway slave called Jim. But plenty of dangers wait for them along the river - will they survive and win their freedom?

Why most economic assumptions made by governments are wrong • Economic theories and models shape our everyday lives. They are relied on by politicians when tax rises or cuts are being considered. They inform debates about everything from bonuses for CEOs to minimum wage rates to the level of job protection enshrined in law. They determine what levels of tobacco or petrol duty are charged, and influence government approaches to issues as diverse as obesity and climate change • The question is: are policy makers right to be so slavishly reliant on them? Tom Bergin is sceptical, and in Free Lunch Thinking he subjects eight of the most prevalent economic mantras to close scrutiny, assessing how they play out in practice. Again and again, he shows how individuals, companies and markets fail to respond to policy changes as theory predicts

Should we cooperate, compete, or both? • Is it in our best interest to compete or to cooperate? • Some have argued that humans are fundamentally competitive and that pursuing our self-interest is the best way to get ahead. Others believe that we are hard-wired to cooperate and are most successful when we collaborate with others • In Friend and Foe, leading psychologists Adam Galinsky and Maurice Schweitzer draw on original, cutting-edge research to explain why this debate misses the mark. They argue that it is only by learning how to strike the right balance between competition and cooperation that we can improve long-term relationships and maximise success in work and life • Galinsky and Schweitzer show how holding these two forces in the right balance can enable us to turn weaknesses into strengths, to recognise deception and build trust, and to improve our powers of negotiation without alienating our counterparts
