  The world is currently in a relatively peaceful state with billions of people living under a comfortable roof and feels warm enough during winter nights. Many do not suffer, but it is very possible for all these things to be flipped over in a matter of days. The economy and ‘peaceful’ nations that we see today are not forever. Take Greek, for example, a nation that used to possess the highest level of civilization is now drowning in debt. 
  The extractive economy (a system that relies on harvesting and exporting raw or low-processed materials) that various countries fall into due to lack of means to process raw materials are signs of the danger. It is a vicious cycle that was pointed out by Daron Acemoglu in his book ‘Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty’. And this is only the tip of the iceberg that might surface anytime soon according to the book.

  Carmen's Legacy tells the story of a family's journey of tragedy and hope. At Age forty-two, John Maher was involved in a fatal car crash in which he was severely injured and, the eighteen-year-old driver of the other vehicle was killed. Thankfully, John was not at fault. His injuries were so severe that doctors informed him he would never work again. Married with four daughters in either secondary school or university, this was a tremendous blow to this young family.However, there was more tragedy to come for the Maher family. Just 30-months after John's horrific car crash, the youngest of their four beautiful daughters, 18-year-old Carmen, was killed in a car crash when she fell asleep at the wheel of her car and hit a tree.In an even crueller twist, her eldest sister Michelle was the third car on the crash scene when on her way to work.Carmen's Legacy has many lessons, and possibly the most powerful is how the love and support of family can overcome even the most devastating and tragic event.Two years after Carmen's death when four 18-year-old students were killed in a car crash in Bendigo, John decided to educate young drivers about the dangers on our roads. He developed Carmen's Road Safety presentation and presented it at secondary schools. Telling Carmen's story to years 10, 11, and 12 students hoping they would never do to their family what Carmen has done to his.Carmen's Legacy will take you on a journey of triumph over tragedy. It will also empower you to be a safer road user and help you understand who you are.The Maher family didn't know that on November 18, 1995, they would lose their beautiful Carmen forever and they would never be able to cuddle her again.We would love to give Carmen just one more cuddle.

  The Shadow Lenders - Private...

  Written before the crisis. Published as it arrives. 
   
  In early 2026, private credit markets began showing the exact stress fractures this book warned about. The $2+ trillion shadow banking system that regulators quietly worried about is now making headlines. If you are trying to understand what is happening, and what comes next, this is the book that mapped it before it broke. 
   
  Private credit was supposed to fix the last crisis. Instead of fragile derivatives and securitized mortgages, we were promised conservative, senior loans to real companies, held by sophisticated investors who could absorb the risk. Instead of bailouts and bank runs, we were sold a story of “permanent capital,” sponsor support, and dealbydeal discipline. 
   
  The reality is far more troubling. 
   
  In The Shadow Lenders: Private Credit, Hidden Debt, and the Next American Financial Crisis, Emeric Corvin pulls back the curtain on the fastest growing and least understood part of global finance. Drawing on regulatory filings, official reports, industry documents, and academic research, he traces how private credit has grown from a niche strategy into a $2+ trillion shadow-banking system that now touches: 
   
  Life insurers and annuity companies that quietly fund their promises with illiquid, hard-to-value loans. 
   
  Public pensions chasing yield in complex funds they cannot easily exit or mark to market. 
   
  Regional and large banks that have lent hundreds of billions of dollars to private-equity and private-credit funds, recreating hidden linkages every bit as real as the structured products that sat on bank balance sheets before 2008. 
   
  Retail investors who now hold exposure through nontraded business development companies, interval funds, model portfolios, and even 401(k)s labeled as “enhanced income” or “alternative credit.” 
   
  Along the way, Corvin connects today’s structures to a century of financial booms and busts, from savings and loan failures and the junk-bond era to subprime mortgages.

  Having been connected for many years with two of the largest and most successful private detective agencies in this country, both as an operator and as an official, and having been requested to outline briefly and concisely the most modern and up-to-date methods employed by leading detectives and private detective agencies of today, I shall confine myself in these pages to facts and a few personal experiences. I will endeavor to show that any person possessed of average intelligence, and who will use good common sense, can become a successful detective, regardless of his present or previous occupation.This country today stands in need of more and better detectives than ever before in its history, and if one be inclined to doubt this statement he need only pick up the morning newspaper of any city of any size and be convinced that this is true. Hundreds of crimes of all descriptions are committed daily and statistics show that more than fifty per cent of persons committing crimes go unmolested and unpunished. Besides, there are the thousands of employees on our various transportation systems, in banks, stores, and in mercantile establishments, who are daily committing thefts of various kinds from their employers and whose nefarious operations are rarely uncovered, when one considers the actual number of thefts committed. - Summary by From the Preface
