A ledger (58 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This title follows the travels of the author, Fiona Ledger, during her days in the 1980s and 1990s as a correspondent for the World Service in Africa. She describes the people she meets in hairdressers and hotel bedrooms, in shops and community halls. There are funny descriptions of lecherous old men and the pompous foreign press, of a terrible car accident where a broken arm is mistaken for a dislocated one and a charm school in the heart of conservative Zambia. There are pompous colonels; a decrepit lady in Zambia who pines for the old days; an unfaithful lover; andd a paranoid airhostess. The book is also about the limitations of news and current affairs in conveying the world we live in; it's an antitdote to the headlines that dehumanize people, by reducing Africa to acres of big eyed starving babies and invisible tyrants. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before money could be trusted, someone had to decide what it was worth. In ancient Lydia, Ardys grows up washing gold from the Pactolus River, where every trade begins with a question: How much does it weigh How pure is it And whose measure can be trusted When a dispute over uncertain metal turns deadly, Ardys discovers that a true measure can do more than settle a price. It can allow strangers to trade. It can prevent violence. It can create trust where none existed before. His skill carries him from the riverbank to the markets of Sardis and eventually into the service of the Lydian kings, where he helps transform irregular pieces of gold and silver into something revolutionary: standardized metal bearing a royal mark. For the first time, people no longer need to weigh every payment. Trade accelerates. Markets grow. Ardys and his wife, Kara, build the secure life they once believed impossible. The system works so well that people begin trusting the mark instead of the metal beneath it. And that changes everything. As merchants learn to exploit the new system, counterfeiters imitate it, armies depend upon it, and rulers discover what can be accomplished when thousands of people accept the same symbol without question, Ardys is forced to confront the consequences of what he helped create. Because a coin is more than metal.It is a promise.>The Weight of Gold is a historical novel about the birth of coinage, the rise of Lydia, and the extraordinary human invention that allowed value to travel beyond the hands that measured it. Through one family living at the edge of a monetary revolution, it explores a question that has followed money ever since: When we stop weighing value for ourselves, what exactly are we choosing to trust.…
