When the phrase "Do you remember?" is uttered in Bay City, it is usually followed by the name of a hotel, restaurant, business, or building. Slowly, many parts of local history have been lost to the sands of time. Fire took many, followed by condemnations and the inevitable advance of progress. An empty lot may be all that remains of a once-prominent structure, but sometimes a new landmark emerges. In the case of one famous address at Center a...

Der Autor setzt sich mit dem bilanziellen Umgang von Veritätsrisiken auf der Passivseite und der Aktivseite der Bilanz sowie in der Überschuldungsprüfung auseinander. Ein altbekanntes Faktum ist, dass die Einbringlichkeit von Forderungen, also ihre Bonität, und damit der bilanzielle Ansatz zum Nennwert zweifelhaft sein können. Weitaus komplizierter sieht es mit Veritätsrisiken aus, also mit den nicht seltenen Fällen, in denen der Bestand einer...

In 1820, a suspicious vessel was spotted lingering off the coast of northern Florida, the Spanish slave ship Antelope. Since the United States had outlawed its own participation in the international slave trade more than a decade before, the ship's almost 300 African captives were considered illegal cargo under American laws. But with slavery still a critical part of the American economy, it would eventually fall to the Supreme Court to determ...

These poems are precise - Brewster is a master of the 'architectured word' - yet there is a sense of something bigger and unwritten beyond the words on the page. This is poetry that speaks to the soul, the heart, the mind, the eye, the ear.John Brewster is a Scottish poet...
