Excerpt: Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products is a directive of the Council of the European Union that created a regime of strict liability for defective products. A system of strict product liability had developed in the U.S. by the early 1960s, but not in the United Kingdom or other European Union (EU) member states. The Council adopted a resolution in 1975 for a preliminary programme on consumer protection and information technology. Moves towards a strict liability regime in Europe began with the Council of Europe Convention on Products Liability in regard to Personal Injury and Death (the Strasbourg Convention) in 1977. The Pearson Commission in the UK noted that this work had started, and refrained from making their own recommendations. A second EU programme followed in 1981. The preamble to the directive cites Art.100 (subsequently renumbered to Art.94) of the Treaty of the European Union and the aim to achieve a single market: The Council shall, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, issue directives for the approximation of such laws, regulations or administrative provisio… More: |

A Familiar Explanation Of The Art Of Assaying Gold And Silver [&C.]. $9.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Section 3OF ASSAYING GENERALLY. When we speak of assaying the precious metals it may be safely affirmed that we refer to a subject which in point of magnitude and general utility yields to no other that can be named; whether we contemplate it in its bearing upon the interests of individuals, or of nations, we are brought to the same conclusion, viz. that it is a subject of vast, of universal importance. Gold and silver being the most precious ofmetals, and forming, as they do, the standard of value all over the globe, it is obvious how great the necessity is that some unerring principles should be established whereby to detect the frauds which mankind unhappily practise upon each other. Such a check and protection, both to individuals and to nations, does the office of the Assayer afford by suggesting to the individual members of a community the impolicy of practising any deceit in the mixture of their metals, when such deceit can be easily detected; whilst on a more extended scale, and where the fatal effects of deceit and fraud would be coextensive with the mercantile and social transactions of the world, it presents an effectual barrier against one nation imposing upon another in the all-important article of its bullion. In the absence of any such check it is obvious that all confidence would be at an end, nothing could be bought or sold, and universal suspicion would ensue. The respect which we now feel for the coin of the realm would be changed for disgust; whilst the confidence we are able to repose in the bullion of Foreign Countries would speedily wither and decay; and thus mankind would lose the immense advantage of a metallic currency. The importance which the Legislature of our own highly favoured country attaches, and has for ages attached, to this subject may be seen from the safeguards b… |

Excerpt: The Glico-Morinaga case Guriko, Morinaga jiken), also known by its official designation Metropolitan Designated Case 114 Keisatsuch kiki jy shitei dai-hyakujyong jiken), was a famous extortion case in Japan, primarily directed at the Japanese industrial confectioneries Ezaki Glico and Morinaga, and currently remains unsolved. The entire case spanned 17 months from the initial kidnapping of the president of Glico to the last known communication from the prime suspect, a person or group known only as the “The Monster with 21 Faces.” The case captured the Japanese public’s imagination and many commentators refer to this incident as a turning point in Japanese society, in which the image of a crime-free and safe Japan was dispelled. At 9:00pm on 18 March 1984, two masked men wearing caps and armed with a pistol and rifle broke into the home of Katsuhisa Ezaki, the president of Glico. Prior to the home invasion of Ezaki’s house, the two men had first forced their way into the neighboring home of Ezaki’s mother, bound her and took the key to the president’s house. Using the key to enter the main house, they then tied up Ezaki’s wife and daughter. Believing the two men were ordinary robbers, Ezaki’s wife attempted to negotiate with them for their freedom in exchange for money, but was rejected. The two men then cut the telephone lines and stormed the bathroom, where Ezaki and his other two children were hiding. Ezaki panicked and cried for help, but was threatened that he would be killed if he didn’t calm down. The two men abducted Ezaki and held him captive in a warehouse. The next morning, they called the director of the company in Takatsuki city and issued a ransom demand for 1 billion yen and 100 kilograms in gold bullion. However, three days l… More: |

Blue Moon $13.99 Once in a Blue Moon, fame and fortune actually take a backseat to friendship and love.Jeanne Madison has earned her PhD at 26 and secured funding to find and excavate a treasure-laden 18th century caravel off the Yucatan coast. Between her mentor and a handful of graduate students, years of study, and all the government cooperation a marine archaeologist could want, she’ll find the Luna Azul–or Blue Moon–by hook or by crook. When a tight budget forces her to hire Captain Gabriel Avery and his rust-bucket, Fallen Angel, the comely PhD’s not sure it won’t be the latter. The incorrigible skipper has the swarthy good looks of a Hollywood pirate and pushes every last one of Jeanne’s buttons–even some she didn’t know she had. His history of brawls, bullion, and well, romantic escapades may well sink the whole expedition. As the race for the Luna Azul treasure with an unscrupulous competitor gets heated, more than the fajitas start to sizzle. Soon Jeanne, the captain, and her crew must take a gigantic leap of faith, one that may salvage more than gold–perhaps even a hardened heart. |

That is, it contains virtually no base metals at all only gold exclusively from gold mines in Canada. The coin was first introduced in 1979.

Coronado’s Children: Tales of Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the Southwest $23.95 Written in 1930, Coronado’s Children was one of J. Frank Dobie’s first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado. “These people,” Dobie writes in his introduction, “no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado’s inheritors…. l have called them Coronado’s children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load… ” This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses. |

Films Directed By David O. Russell (Study Guide) $9.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Three Kings is a 1999 satirical war film written and directed by David O. Russell from a story by John Ridley about a gold heist in the style of Kelly’s Heroes. It takes place during the 1991 Iraqi uprising against Saddam Hussein following the end of the first Persian Gulf War. The film stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze. Film critic Roger Ebert described it as a “weird masterpiece, a screw-loose war picture that sends action and humor crashing head-on into each other and spinning off into political anger.” The film gets its name from the character Conrad’s (Jonze) outburst: “We three kings be stealin’ the gold…”, a parody of the Christmas carol We Three Kings of Orient Are. Three Kings revolves around four U.S. soldiers attempting to steal seized Kuwaiti gold bullion from Iraqi bunkers. During their journey they become involved with a badly outgunned and desperate group of Iraqi Shia rebels who have risen against Saddam’s regime but were abandoned by the Coalition. The film deals with the aftermath of George H. W. Bush’s appeal to Iraqis to rise up against the tyranny, and the ensuing massacre as Saddam’s loyalists put down the popular rebellion, killing many thousands of civilians. The film opens with Army Reserve Sergeant First Class Troy Barlow (Wahlberg) shooting a surrendering Iraqi Regular Army soldier due to confusion over the rules of engagement following the end of the Gulf War. Although Private First Class Conrad Vig (Jonze) compliments him on the kill, Troy takes no pleasure in it. The two begin to disarm and search the surrendering Iraqi soldiers, and while forcibly subduing a resistant Iraqi officer they find a document hidden between his buttocks. The document appears to be a map, and Troy decides n… More: |

A new book by Aryln Sieber and Mitchell Battino brings into focus the coins, which are commonly available to collectors and investors, as gold needs to be considered from an investment perspective too.Prior to World War I, most national economies were on a gold standard. Gold coins circulated, and the national paper money issues were backed by gold reserves in either coin or bullion. Since that time, economies began to change, and since World War II, gold coins have become a novelty. In the late 1960s, bullion coins began to be minted, and by the early 1980s, several countries – Austria, Australia, China, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa and the United States were striking coins of a high purity, a nominal face value, and in a traditional coin design rather than ingot form.So, the authors present listings culled from the seminal work on modern coinage of the world, Krause Publications’ Standard Catalog of World Coins. Presented in an easy to follow format profuse with illustrations, one could choose the various ways to collect, either by commemorative, circulating or bullion issues. |

Gold Sharks $11.8 At the height of its power in World War two, the Imperial Japanese war machine controlled much of the Far East. Their early, almost un-checked conquests allowed them to loot vast unrecorded hoards of treasure and huge amounts of gold bullion from the banks. Consequently tons of gold and silver were buried, in one hundred and seventy five separate sites, including many of the deep caves, which litter the Philippines.The victorious American army eventually captured General Yamashita and seeking revenge for their defeat earlier in the war, the Americans put the General on trial for war crimes. Unsurprisingly, with some thirty five thousand Philippine civilians massacred, in the latter stages of the Japanese occupation, he was found guilty. Unfortunately he was rather too hastily executed, and so the exact coordinates of the gold caches went to the grave with him. Tantalizingly some has since been recovered, but the location of the great majority remains a mystery to this day. Consequently the legend of ‘Yamashita’s Gold’ still attracts scores of hopeful treasure hunters, from around the globe. GOLD SHARKS is the exciting story of one such attempt to uncover a fortune. |

The temptation to get rich quickly was too great for some, and the demand, “Hold! Throw out that treasure box!” was heard all too often in the Old West. Most robberies were never solved, but many robbers were caught, indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced.

Inside the Nixon Administration: The Secret Diary of Arthur Burns, 1969-1974 $24.95 As chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in the seventies, Arthur Burns had a unique view of the Nixon administration. Burns first joined the Nixon administration as an advisor in 1969 and was privy to the dynamics of the president’s coterie over the course of six tumultuous years. Now the recently released secret diary of this top-level economist offers a surprisingly candid inside look at Richard Nixon’s fall.The diary tracks Burns’s growing awareness of Nixon’s behind-the-scenes maneuverings and worrisome behavior (such as “insane shouting”) and reveals how such things undermined his respect and enthusiasm for the president. Perhaps even more telling, Burns’s evaluations of his colleagues provide piercing insights into the president’s inner circle, including Henry Kissinger (“a brilliant political analyst, but admittedly ignorant of economics”), George Schultz (“a no less confused amateur economist”), John Connally (“a thoroughly confused politician”), and the “vulgarians” H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman—the only people he thought Nixon felt relaxed around.The Burns diary also offers rare and telling glimpses into the era’s economy—particularly an account of how Nixon exerted political pressure to shape monetary policies that helped to fuel the stagflation of the 1970s. The administration sought to close the so-called gold window, an approximate valuation of dollars with gold bullion, by floating the dollar, and the consensus over many years has been that Nixon himself arranged this—speculation now confirmed by Burns’s diary. It also underscores the growing pressure Burns felt to serve the needs of Nixon’s reelection bid rather than the economic welfare of the nation.Sequestered for decades and unavailable until 2008, this document reveals an honest and relatively apolitical man surrounded by partisans in top administrative positions who were dishonest, inept—or both. “The President has many shortcomings,” wrote Burns. “He |

King Zog of Albania: Europe’s Self-Made Muslim Monarch $50 Shortly before 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 1928, Europe gained a new kingdom and its only Muslim king: 32-year-old Zog I of the Albanians. Few foreign journalists were present in the Parliament House in Tirana to hear him swear his oath on the Koran and the Bible, yet the birth of the Kingdom of Albania—a native monarchy, not an alien imposition—did not go unnoticed abroad.King Zog (1895–1961) was a curiosity, and so he has remained: the most atypical European monarch of the twentieth century, a man entirely without royal connections who created his own kingdom. By contemporaries, he was variously labeled “the last ruler of romance,” “an appalling gangster,” “the modern Napoleon,” “the finest patriot,” and “frankly a cad.” Even today his reputation is disputed, but Zog is undeniably one of the foremost figures in Albanian history. Though notorious for cut-throat political intrigue, he promised to bring order and progress to a land that had long known little of either. “It was I who made Albania,” he claimed.Zog’s reign ended in 1939; Italian Fascists forced him into exile and post-war Stalinists kept him there despite his best efforts to return. In this first full biography, Jason Tomes explores the reality behind the man described in The Times as “the bizarre King Zog” and shows him to have been the product of a unique time and place. Tomes invites readers to set aside their assumptions about modern European monarchy and meet a king who fired back at assassins and paid his bills with gold bullion. |

Role Of Precious Metals In European Economic Development $131.95 Tracing European monetary history, this study explores the impact of species, in the form of money, on the economic evolution of Europe, showing how change in the availability and use of money was a key factor in Europe’s economic development. During the Roman period, accumulation and circulation of large quantities of bullion allowed for economic prosperity. Over time, shortages of species rendered Roman coinage worthless and caused the breakdown of their economic and political systems. In the early Middle Ages, lack of liquidity limited commercial activities and enabled feudalism to flourish. In the 10th century, the discovery of rich silver mines increased the circulation of coinage, promoting trade and demographic urbanization. Continued circulation of accredited currency in the 12th and 13th centuries silver boosted economic prosperity. Shortages of bullion in the 14th century induced debasemnts and a severe scarcity of money, leading to the eventual breakdown of the feudal economic order. Continuous shortages in the 15th century forced the reintroduction of barter trade and limited commercial activities. Scarcity of precious metals induced the Portuguese to venture into Africa. African gold provided them with the incentive and capital for expeditions of discovery to the East, but the lack of sufficient bullion prevented them from monopolizing the eastern trade. In the 16th century the influx of species from the mines of central Europe and America ended the European bullion famine and gave rise to economic prosperity. |

Seekers of the Spear of Destiny $4.99 The story begins with a flashback to 1945 and reflects an eyewitness sequence of events that took place just at the end of the war. With the alliance of the Vatican, a German U-boat was secretly on its way to Argentina, filled with a trove of Hitler’s plundered treasures. Only a few on board were aware of its secret cargo; a billion dollars in gold bullion, untold amounts of stolen art and seized religious treasures. Among the Nazi’s looted gold were also chests of gold coins bearing the seal of the Vatican. The Vatican was to remain above any suspicion of their involvement in aiding and abetting the Nazis. Rather than allowing the U-Boat to be captured by the Coast Guard the U-Boat was scuttled. Some believed that hidden among the stolen religious treasures was Hitler’s most prized possession, Christianity’s greatest religious relic, the spear that punctured the side of Jesus Christ, the True Spear of Destiny Almost fifty years later Victor Benilous an accomplished archaeologist / treasure hunter was given clues to the location of the scuttled German U-Boat. As he got ready to start his search, he was confronted by competing sinister forces who would stop at nothing in order to keep the Vatican’s secret. The intense race was on, who would be first to recover the Vatican gold and the Spear of Destiny. |

The Immoral Reverend $3.99 A Church Of Modern Moralities!In the city of Adamsport, Massachusetts, Matt Godwin, with both an MBA and a Doctor of Divinity degree from Harvard and after 15 years in the business world, is about to be elected president of a multi billion dollar conglomerate created by his father. But defying both his wife and his father, Matt returns to the Unitarian/Universalist pulpit. He has a vision of a church that offers an entirely new approach to Christian morality. Inspired by the never-ending mystery and wonder of procreation, life and death, his religion will preach the exaltation of the human body and mind—and human sexuality will have a joyous, laughing, sacramental quality. Matt’s religious humanism is portrayed amidst a background of obsession and adventure. Attempting to build a new style church. Matt’s need for funds leads him on a search for millions of dollars in gold bullion dumped by an American transport plane during World War II in the Himalayas, when we were at war with the Japanese. With the help of an Islamic, Arab oil billionaire, he rebuilds and recreates a former Unitarian Universalist church and offers a sexual religious agenda that shocks the conservative Christian community. Originally published in 1985, Bob Rimmer has elaborated the Church of Modern Moralities with a new, 21st century, franchised religion in his novel. It’s called Wondering and has churches called Love Dromes. Don’t miss it! After you’ve read it, you’ll become a Wonderer too! |

The Jekyll Island Enigma $1.99 Greed, and Nazi plans of conquest, found an able match in a Russian industrialist emigre. Weeks before Pearl Harbor propelled the United States into World War Two. A French Vichy gold bullion exchange for mercury, vital to the Nipponese war machine, would be a two-edged sword. The Axis powers could build bombs and bullets, while denying scarce material to America and its Allies. The Count would get his estates back from the Communists while his profiteering cronies would have access to raw materials and slave labor. Their plan called for the bullion and mercury to be exchanged at Jekyll Island between a yacht, owned by the count’s American wife, and a mysterious merchant submarine built by Germany, missing since the Great 1914-18 War. But, nothing is sure in love, war – or “Murphy’s Law”.. A Royal Navy hero, a feisty and much-married American dancer and matron, an irascible Georgia sheriff, an over the hill Coast Guard Captain, the FBI, a poacher and staff of The Club, all join forces to thwart the best laid plans of the “Master Race”. Some critics of “The Jekyll Island Enigma” have claimed there are to many characters to keep track of, while others grouse it needs a prequel and/or sequel. Guess what? |

The Snow-Shoe Itinerant – An Autobiography $32.95 Western Reflections is reprinting an engaging, historical autobiography for the general public — “The Snow-Shoe Itinerant.” Reverend John Dyer, an intrepid Methodist minister, came to Colorado in 1861 at the ripe old-age of forty-nine, but soon fit in as one of the “boys” in the remote mining towns he served. “Father Dyer,” as he was respectfully called by the locals, was very well liked among the miners and prospectors. He frequently preached in saloons after politely asking customers to suspend their drinking and gambling for the interim. And, sometimes toting a gun, he would confront drunkards and others who tried to interrupt his service.Dyer’s ministry eventually covered most of Colorado and much of northern New Mexico, but he began his Colorado career in South Park (the southern part of Park County), spending much of his time in Fairplay and Summit County’s Breckenridge. It was during this time that Dyer pioneered the use of skis (then known as snowshoes) for winter travel in Colorado. Drawing on the knowledge of Scandinavian friends in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Dyer would deliver the gospel on twelve-foot long “snowshoes,” dragging a long pole in the snow for control. Neither snow, nor cold, nor dark of night would deter him from his rounds. As tales of his dependability became widespread, Father Dyer was often asked to deliver the mail and sometimes carry gold bullion destined for the Denver Mint.In The Snow-shoe Itinerant, Dyer tells captivating tales of the sights, sounds, people, and events he encountered and experienced. His stained glass portrait is in the dome of the Colorado Capitol Building. One of only sixteen Colorado pioneers to be so recognized, it is an honor that Father Dyer definitely deserved. |

Vatican Filess $15.5 As World War two drew to an end, there were in excess of seven hundred million ounces of gold in Fort Knox. This represented seventy-five percent of the world’s gold inventory. Today there is no record of the amount of gold in the National Depository. A physical annual audit is federal law, but to the present day the treasury refuses to conduct one. In fact, an audit has not been conducted since 1953 – not since ordered by President Eisenhower. Vatican FileSS addresses the question – where is the missing bullion from Fort Knox? Common belief is that by the end of 1971, President Johnson consented to the Fort Knox gold being secretly removed and drained to London, supposedly to finance the war in Vietnam. In 1982, President Ronald Regan appointed a group of men known as the Gold Commission. Their task – to report to Congress on the gold reserve. The following is their final report to Congress. “The U.S. treasury possesses no gold. The Federal Reserve now owns all of the gold that was left in Fort Knox, holding it against the national debt. This money has been stolen from the American citizens and placed into the hands of a small group of private investors in the Federal Reserve, the money changers.” A subsequent visit by world media was merely a staged event for the cameras. The strong belief is that the rear stacks within the vaults were nothing more than plated silver bullion. “Vatican FileSS takes the reader on a thought provoking journey that explores the origin of Nazi and Ustasha gold hoards. It exposes the ruthless killings by Ustasha Catholic priests in their routing of gold to Rome’s Vatican, as well as Swiss Banks. The searchfor Mussolini’s dumped gold is accurately documented in this deeply researched work. Exciting and revealing – Vatican FileSS is a hard to put down novel. Find a comfortable seat, and buckle up.” |

Wirtschaft (S Dafrika) $19.99 Kapitel: Weinbau in Südafrika, Wirtschaft Südafrikas, Südafrikanischer Rand, Krugerrand, Flughafen Johannesburg, Financial Rand, Congress of South African Trade Unions, Eassy, Close Corporation, Johannesburger Börse, Freedom Toaster, Western Deep Levels, Southern African Clothing and Textile Worker’s Union. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Krugerrand is a South African gold coin, first minted in 1967 to help market South African gold. It is produced by the South African Mint Company. The Krugerrand was introduced in 1967, as a vehicle for private ownership of gold. It was actually intended to circulate as currency. Therefore it was minted in a more durable gold alloy, unlike most other bullion coins. Despite the coin’s legal tender status, economic sanctions against South Africa for its policy of apartheid made the Krugerrand an illegal import in many Western countries during the 1970s and 1980s. These sanctions ended when South Africa abandoned apartheid in 1994. By 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the gold coin market. The success of the Krugerrand led to many other gold-producing nations minting their own bullion coins, such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf in 1979, the Australian Nugget in 1981, the British Britannia coin in 1987 and the American Gold Eagle in 1986. In 1980, three smaller coins were introduced, with a half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce of gold. Through 2008, Krugerrand coins containing 46 million ounces of gold have been sold. Krugerrands: Their gold content is exactly one troy ounce.The Krugerrand is 32.6 mm in diameter and 2.74 mm thick. The Krugerrand’s actual weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 g). It is minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold. The remaining 8.33% of the coin’s weight (2.826 g) is copper (an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns), which |
