Corruption is one of the biggest global issues, ahead of extreme poverty, unemployment, the rising cost of food and energy, climate change, and terrorism. It is thought to be one of the principal causes of poverty around the globe. Its significance in the contemporary world cannot be undervalued. In this Very Short Introduction, Leslie Holmes looks the history of corruption across the millennia and considers why the international community has only highlighted it as a problem in the past two decades. Holmes explores the phenomenon from several different perspectives, from the cultural differences affecting how corruption is defined, its impact, its various causes, and the possible remedies. Providing evidence of corruption and considering ways to address it around the world, this is an important introduction to a significant and serious global issue.

Recently Learned I Was In Early Stage Dementia
Format: Paperback
As my hubby and I had read Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages and it was helpful to us, when I saw this book I couldn't resist. He writes a very thorough book about a husband and wife facing this dreaded condition. He gives suggestions on how to lovingly handle many of the irritating, annoying, not so nice and some dreaded situations that may be a problem between a husband and wife , by using examples of couples that have gone through these situations and how they handled it. And also gave his opinion on things that were done lovingly by the spouse who chooses to be the caretaker, or how it could've ended in a kinder, more loving, less detrimental way. I would recommend this book to ALL couples facing this disease that no one wants, and for all couples who wish to end the marriage on a better note v.s. exhaustion and relief ,when the affected spouse that has this diagnoses, finally passes.

Seems high quality, makes a good treat.
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It's expensive, and I won't buy again most likely as I use Honest Kitchen Fish Wolfskin large chews daily to keep my dogs teeth clean (saves thousands on dentals at the vet) however, my dogs love this treat and gobble it up when offered. I was hoping it would last longer and work as teeth cleaners like the wolfskin fish chews do. Nevertheless it's a high quality food treat, and maybe I will buy again just for the occasional treat. I don't give my dogs a lot of treats much to their chagrin, but they are also not overweight either. It's not fattening and has no carbohydrates and it's not ultra-processed. I would recommend this as a treat.

Perfect chew for small dogs
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These turkey tendons are the perfect treat/chew for smaller dogs and puppies. I like that there is zero odor compared to other natural treats (looking at you smelly bully sticks). It's perfect for small dogs and older dogs that aren't aggressive chewers anymore. I love that they are all natural and not too difficult to chew for my older dog. She loves them, I love them.
