In Sinking, a giant wave overtakes the Mammoth Ferry on its maiden voyage, and all of the ship’s cargo is swept overboard! An enterprising young islander, Olive, watches her cousin, Troy, attempt to retrieve the sunken cargo and notices air bubbles rising to the surface around him. Olive uses these bubbles as a cue and, with the help of a visiting inventor, designs a vehicle called a submersible that allows them to sink to the ocean floor and then rise back to the surface.
They all may be vulnerable to the next bursting bubble. John Calverley lays out the fundamentals of our asset-backed economy and explores the powerful implications for individuals, businesses, central banks, and policy makers.
This is a math carnival like no other. At this carnival kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade learn problem solving, addition and subtraction, early logic, sorting and classifying, pattern recognition, equivalencies, multiplication and division and early 2D geometry. Five exciting and innovative activities use whimsical graphics to make math sense. Students can play at the snap clown circus and sort carnival cards into sets with Allison Elephant. At the Bubble Band's Show crazy band members teach kids about place value, addition and subtraction using bubbles.
When Bubbles Burst: Surviving the Financial Fallout
What will be the outcome of the current financial crisis? How bad will the recession get? Could it turn into a depression? How far will house prices fall? Will the downturn lead to deflation or will the measures to deal with it eventually lead to inflation? These are some of the questions that John Calverly adresses in the extremely timely and topical new book. He helps everyone understand what's going on, how policy impinges on it, what investors can do and what is likely to happen.
