Richard Gray, recognized as a leading European scholar in American literature, delves into the widespread belief among writers and the public that they are living "after the fall" in the post-9/11 world. The analysis encompasses how many writers, confronted with what they perceive as the end of their world, have turned to the comforting ideals of home, hearth, and family. This retreat is often influenced by the seductive myth of American exceptionalism.In addition to examining the works shaped by these themes, Gray delves into writings that he believes "get it right." These are transnational and crossbred works that resist the simplistic "us and them" or "Christian and Muslim" language dominating mainstream commentary. Gray contends that these imaginative works choose to respond to the heterogeneous character of the United States and its positioning in a transnational context."After the Fall" thus offers illuminating insights into the relationships between nationalism, trauma, culture, and literature during a time of profound crisis. The book provides a nuanced exploration of how literature has grappled with and responded to the transformative events of 9/11 and the subsequent war on terror. Richard Gray's extensive scholarship in American literature adds depth and authority to this examination.

Duska, Ronald F. / Duska, Brenda Shay / Ragatz, Julie. Accounting ethics - Second edition. By Ronald Duska, Brenda Shay Duska, Julie Ragatz. Chichester, West Sussex ; Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell, 2011, 2nd edition, xi, 241pp., PAPERBACK, small amount of ink underlining on about 5 pages, otherwise good copy that looks mostly unread. NOTE: THERE IS NOW A THIRD EDITION of 2018. THIS IS THE SECOND EDITION. - Foundations of business ethics, 9. "This new edition of Accounting Ethics has been comprehensively updated to deal with the rapid changes in standards and regulations which have occurred within the accounting profession since 2002. The authors systematically explore the new range of ethical issues which have emerged in recent years, including the significant impact on approaches to ethical problems which resulted from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the financial crisis of 2008, and the move to replace GAAP with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The book begins by investigating the nature and purpose of accounting and follows with a brief study of the nature and use of ethical principles in determining accountants' responsibilities; it examines the ethical imperatives that bind professionals and the specific principles and rules that various accounting codes dictate. Next, the book explores the major types of practices in which accountants engage - auditing, managerial accounting, and tax accounting - and the responsibilities associated with those practices. The new topics are addressed in a section which highlights the debates over the use of fair-value accounting and principles- versus rules-based standards. With the additional expertise of Julie Ragatz as co-author, Accounting Ethics, 2nd Edition remains a significant and highly informative text for anyone studying or working in the area of Business Ethics.".
