"She may be super-rich and drop-dead gorgeous, but Los Angeles socialite Callaway Wilde can be as insecure as any girl about her man's love. Saying yes to a marriage proposal from sexy detective Evan Paley was a leap of faith for Cally, who has been pursued by many - and almost killed on occasion - for her money. When her fiance disappears, Cally fears he's left her high and dry. Turns out she's right, but for the wrong reasons: he's been kidnapped." "It started with a mysterious phone call that pulls Evan away from a little one-on-one time with Cally. Evan refuses to identify the caller - a woman in distress - which brings Cally down to earth fast. What secrets could he be keeping? Big ones, apparently: a dead body soon turns up in Evan's house, and Evan has vanished. On a heart-pounding race to find him, Cally follows a trail of clues to cold-blooded murder and deadly corruption - and may uncover more than she bargained for about the man she thought she knew."--BOOK JACKET.

"Reams have been written about the Mona Lisa, as the painting is called by the British and Americans, and the Gioconda, as it is known to the Italians and French. But less known are the events, affections and social relations that took place in the life of Leonardo's presumed model for the painting. She was a young woman from Florence, already the mother of several children, generous and "noble in spirit" according to her husband." "For centuries, as the Florentine art historian Giorgio Vasari claimed, the Mona Lisa was considered the portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, but the theft of the painting from the Louvre in 1911 and the press campaign that followed ended by bringing the identity of the woman into question, fueling a debate that is still ongoing." "The accounts and documents referred to in this book clarify the question, as a result of which it is difficult not to side with Vasari's supporters that the lady in question was actually Mona Lisa Gherardini." "The main characters in this story are Lisa, her husband Francesco and Leonardo da Vinci. The setting is Renaissance Florence, a city still rich and home to cultural and artistic movements of international renown." "The book is in two parts: the first tells the political and cultural history of Florence: the second is a small fresco of life in the city, in which the lives of Lisa Gherardini and Francesco del Giocondo cross with those of other famous Florentines."--BOOK JACKET.

"This doctoral dissertation focuses on the formation, growth and discontinuance of business firms and business populations in Sweden during the 20th century. It addresses some key issues in the domain of economic and social sciences and in entrepreneurship and small business research: if, why and when firms grow, stagnate and contract, as well as how long firms survive and why they disband." "The dissertation assumes a micro-to-macro, longitudinal and population approach. It combines sources, methods and approaches from economic history, business history and demography, with those of entrepreneurship and small business research. The study combines internal, firm-specific explanations to firm growth and survival with external explanations, such as macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, it employs unique empirical data on business firms, with an observation period of over one hundred years. The perspectives and methodology applied in the dissertation can be viewed as complementary to earlier approaches in entrepreneurship and small business research."--BOOK JACKET.
