This book provides a critical examination of modern English corporate insolvency law, in particular the procedures under the Insolvency Act 1986, from both conceptual and functional points of view. It focuses throughout on identifying a rational explanation for the form that the rules and institutions of the modern law take or, where there is no such rational explanation, the history which has resulted in the present position. A central theme of the book is that the nature and fundamental purpose of insolvency proceedings themselves dictate many of the features of English insolvency proceedings. For example, collective execution on behalf of creditors necessitates definition of the insolvent estate and the provision of rules concerning provable debts and transaction avoidance. Many key features of the insolvency procedures are therefore essentially matters of practicality rather than principle, albeit practicalities applied justly and fairly. The book covers the nature and purpose of

In Finding Myself, author Gelasia Marquez puts the puzzle pieces of her life together in this memoir. She not only reflects on the significant milestones in her life, but she also provides insight into the important people who touched her and impacted her existence. Born in Cuba in 1938, Marquez tells about growing up as a boarding student and as a confused young adult who suffered the effects of the political, religious, economic, and socio-cultural changes that destroyed her country of origin. She narrates her experiences as a student of Colegio del Apostolado, as a consecrated lay minister, a nine-year Cuban exile, a concerned bilingual school psychologist, a cancer survivor, a friend of friends, and a woman of faith. Finding Myself reflects on the transitions, crises, and challenges in Marquez's life and how these events-transpiring across three countries-played a substantial role in shaping her, her profession, and her future.

South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk wants to save our planet; he wants to send citizens into space, to form a colony on Mars; he wants to make money while doing these things; and he wants us all to know about it. He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey Junior.

He was a freakishly bright kid who was bullied brutally at school, and abused by his father. In the midst of these rough conditions, and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk still thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he paid his own way through school by turning his house into a club and throwing massive parties. He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay acquired for $1.5 billion in 2002. Musk was forced out as
