Greed had much to do with the implosion of the world financial system in 2008. Capitalism expects and needs people to be greedy but that greed has to be counterbalanced by fear; get it right and you will be rich, get it wrong and you will lose it all. Over many decades, many decisions, that sometimes seemed small at the time, helped to rob financiers of their fear. They did not fear a reckoning if their decisions went awry. Instead they were left with greed and overconfidence. And that is what allowed the crisis to happen. Using where we are today as a finishing point, Financial Times journalist and market's commentator John Authers, takes a uniquely longer view of what happened. Picking up the story in 1954, when stock markets finally recovered from the Great Crash of 1929, chapter by chapter, and piece by piece, John leads the reader through the decades, years, months and then days that led to the inevitable and escalating crisis. Greed without Fear will help readers achieve clarity over what mattered most in creating this crisis, helping them to understand what investment strategies may now start to work. And it will achieve, for them, a clear grasp of the remaining risks that confront us.

Round-Up 5 is aimed at intermediate students of the English language. The aim of the book is to help students understand and use English grammar structures through exciting, full-colour illustrations and a variety of exercises. All material presented is structurally graded, with revision exercises after every 4 units. Four Pre-Tests are included at the end of the book for students to use as practice before their exam. Eight Progress Tests, each covering two consecutive units, are also included at the end of the book. These may be used to assess students' progress. There are «Phrasal Verb and Idiom» sections at the end of each unit to help give students a feeling for everyday English language usage. There are also exercises practising prepositions with verbs, adjectives and nouns, along with an appendix which provides a reference for the structures. A regular «Tense Review» is provided to consolidate structures practised in earlier units, and the «In other words» section of each unit gives students the chance to practise the various ways of expressing similar ideas in English. The oral activities which appear throughout the book help students practise the structures while having fun at the same time. They can be done after the presentation of the appropriate grammar structure or they can be used as revision material throughout the year. The writing activities reinforce students' writing ability. The author, Virginia Evans, herself a teacher for many years, has written this book on the principle that every structure should first be heard, then practised in oral and finally in written form. The book, based on the use of full-colour visual stimuli, encourages students to speak before writing and allows them to practise English structures through a variety of enjoyable and useful activities. The Student's Book is accompanied by a Teacher's Guide which contains lesson plans forthe presentation of each unit, the answers to the exercises, Pre-Tests and Progress Tests in the Student's Book as well as four tests.
