The latest dramatic offering from one of Ireland's master playwrights
Johnny Silvester should be enjoying his retirement in his opulent home outside Dublin, but the past is catching up with him. Once lionized for ushering the Irish Republic into the modern world, Silvester has fallen out of favor not only with the public, but also with his family and friends. Rapidly aging and fed up with a barrage of criticism, he retreats to his study where he reassures himself of his inculpability and awaits a call from his doctor--a call he expects will bring news of a fatal affliction. As he hovers near the phone his family, friends, colleagues, journalists, and students come forth with their reproaches. Among these visitors is the Morleyesque ghost of Cornelius, an ex-colleague and one-time friend for whose mental breakdown and death Silvester is responsible. With "Hinterland Sebastian Barry examines the personal and public risks involved in making political advances on a national scale. Weaving modern history in with the life story of a man and his family, Barry has created another searching drama of the uneasy balance between heroism and roguery in Irish politics.

Auctions: Theory and Practice
Governments use them to sell everything from oilfields to pollution permits and to privatize companies, consumers rely on them to buy baseball tickets and hotel rooms, and business theorists employ them to explain economic booms and busts. Auctions make up many of the world's most important markets; and this book describes how they have become an important economic force throughout the world.
"Auctions: Theory and Practice" begins with a non-technical introduction to auction theory, and emphasizes its practical application. Klemperer discusses the successes and failures of the one-hundred-billion dollar "third-generation" mobile-phone license auctions--he was the principal designer of the first of these, which on its own raised thirty four billion dollars. He demonstrates the unexpected power of auction theory to explain seemingly unnconnected activities such as corporate takeovers, the intensity of different forms of industrial competition, and even stock trading "frenzies."
