In a large city, it's easy to remain anonymous, be careful who you talk to... The Ultimate is London's slickest vigilante. He is almost invisible; silently creeping around the capital, looking for wrongs to right. After overhearing a man bragging about abusing his girlfriend, The Ultimate has his first victim and is spurred into irrevocable action. Once he starts, he can't stop. He leaves no trace and is careful not to be the one with blood on his hands. His role is only to dictate how his targets will meet their demise. Nothing seems to link him to the crime or the dead. As his reign gathers pace, The Ultimate forces a clueless New Scotland Yard to pull former topdog detective turned reporter, Terry Bane, out of his TV studio and back to the force. He teams up with his old crimefighting partner, DCI James McFarland, only to be sent on a cat and mouse chase. Will they ever be able to catch the man who leaves no clues?

Go Beyond the FAR! The guidance contained in the almost 2000 pages of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the various agency supplements are just a part of the resources government acquisition professionals need to do their jobs effectively. Accessing and understanding case law is equally important to a thorough understanding of government contracting. Legal decisions explain the Government Accountability Office's and the courts' views on how procurement statutes and regulations apply in a wide range of situations. Case law also gives potential bid protesters and agencies a way to gauge the likely outcome of a protest. Until now, it has been difficult to find and understand the legal decisions that could be relevant to a particular situation. Key Case Law Rules for Government Contract Formation changes that by organizing and explaining the most important protest grounds in a readily accessible and comprehensible way. With an emphasis on more recent cases, the book is organized around the key protest grounds, such as pricing issues, allegations that the government wrongfully prevented competition, or improper sealed-bidding procedures. Bridging the gap of understanding between the legal and the contracting communities, this book is a much-needed addition to the essential resources for acquisition professionals.

This book explores how new ideas can be transformed into successful businesses, through the nurturing of Business Incubators. But what is a Business Incubator? The answers come from experts from ESCP Europe, a leading business management institution in Europe, and from the Arthur D. Little consulting firm. The two have joined forces to publish this wide-ranging, detailed account of how and where in the world the concept works best. Start-up companies cobbled together by young entrepreneurs are placed under one roof in order to share services and resources. This allows them to play major roles in IT, life sciences, industry and a host of other fields in both developing and developed countries. How does Business Incubation (BI) work? How do young entrepreneurs, often operating on a shoestring, succeed in attracting major financing from the public or private sectors, or from public-private-partnerships (PPPs)? Some make it all the way to the stock market, while others crash. Never before has global BI been so well documented in a single book. This is a must-read for all those already involved in making the world a bigger and better, and perhaps more profitable place, and also for those about to graduate and seeking to take the next step.
