For the first time ever, Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, tells her amazing life story in her own words and gives a full and honest account of what life was really like in The Spice Girls. I never told my story before because I wasn't ready. Now, finally, I am.<br/><br/><br/><br/>25 years ago, The Spice Girls, a girlband that began after answering an advert in the paper, released our first single. 'Wannabe' became a hit and from that moment, my life changed for ever.I was suddenly part of one of the biggest music groups in history, releasing hit after hit, performing to our wonderful fans and spreading the message of Girl Power to the world. It was everything I'd dreamed of growing up, and I've had some incredible times...<br/><br/><br/><br/>The BRITs! The movie! Travelling the world playing iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, The O2, Wembley Stadium and The London 2012 Olympics!!!When you're a woman, though, that power can be easily taken away by those around you, whether by pressure, exhaustion, shaming, bullying or a constant feeling like you aren't enough. I have been known as Sporty Spice, Mel C, Melanie C or just plain old Melanie Chisholm, but what you will read within the pages of this book is who I truly am, and how I found peace with that after all these years.I have really enjoyed reminiscing and getting everything down on the page, and, though revisiting some of my darkest times was hard, I hope this book can be inspiring and empowering as well as entertaining and give you a bit of a laugh.

Apes that exchange things. That is what we are. <br/><br/>At some point around two million years ago, we discovered that we could exchange one thing for another. Since then, humans have continued trading and exchanging things throughout economic history. Clever humans also invented capital, which we used to shape our whole economic system. In this information-packed, entertaining, eye-opening book, Kjell A. Nordström guides us from the collaborative origins of prehistoric bartering to Adam Smiths concept of specialisation. He shows how we have used our endless inventiveness to transform our planet into a colossal, pulsating bazaar, where everyone is trading with one another all over the world, around the clock. <br/><br/>How did we end up here? And what does the future hold for our immense, complex global economy that has now started to appear vulnerable? <br/><br/>Dr Nordström provides hope that we will find new ways to continue our endless trading and exchanging. New ways that involve and take into account nature, our other vital source of capital: not created by us, butcrucial to our wellbeing.

Mats Benners bok The Politics of Growth är en insiktsfull granskning av de ekonomiska tillväxtstrategier som gällt i svensk politik sedan introduktionen av den svenska modellen på 1930-talet och fram till inträdet i EU. Benner analyserar den ekonomiska tillväxtpolitik som möjliggjort och kompletterat både socialpolitiska strävanden i fördelningsfrågor och utvecklingen av en väl fungerande och relativt konfliktfri arbetsmarknad. Författaren belyser vilka aktörer som utformat olika tillväxtstrategier och förklarar varför vissa strategier genomförts medan andra blockerats. Ett centralt tema i boken är att ekonomisk utveckling är sammanbunden med institutionell reglering. En avgörande faktor för förståelsen av modern svensk historia är därför hur sociala krafter försökt påverka institutionerna, deras utformning och effekter.
