The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global CitizenThe buying and selling of citizenship has become a legitimate, thriving business in just a few years. Entrepreneurs are renouncing America and Europe in favor of tax havens in the Caribbean with the help of a cottage industry of lawyers, bankers, and consultants that specialize in expatriation. But as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian discovered, the story of twenty first century citizenship is bigger than millionaires buying their second or third

The buying and selling of citizenship has become a legitimate, thriving business in just a few years. Entrepreneurs are renouncing America and Europe in favor of tax havens in the Caribbean with the help of a cottage industry of lawyers, bankers, and consultants that specialize in expatriation. But as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian discovered, the story of twenty-first century citizenship is bigger than millionaires buying their second or third passport. When she learned that mysterious middlemen had persuaded the Comoro Islands to turn to selling citizenship as a new source of revenue, she decided to follow the money trail to the Middle East. There, she found that officials in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates had bulk-ordered passports for their bidoon, or stateless population, transforming these men, women, and children without countries into Comorian citizens practically overnight. In her timely and eye-opening first book, Abrahamian travels the globe to meet these willing and unwitting "cosmopolites," or citizens of the world, who show us how transactional and unpredictable national citizenship in the twenty-first century can be.

Reliable Fit for Bigger ToddlersI’m
Size: Size 7, Unit Count: 88
These diapers are great quality and hold up really well for active toddlers. My son has always had thicker legs, and these have suited him really well without being too tight or causing irritation. He just turned two and is already in a size 7 (almost an 8), so sizing up has definitely been helpful for comfort and better coverage for US. The absorbency is consistent, and they stay in place—overall a very dependable choice.

My Dogs Go Crazy for These!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
These Pet ’n Shape Chik ’n Rice Dumbbells are a huge hit in my house! My dogs absolutely love them — they can smell the real chicken as soon as I open the bag. I really appreciate that they’re made with natural ingredients and no artificial additives. They’re the perfect size for a satisfying treat without being too big, and the chewy texture keeps my pups busy for a bit. I’ve bought these several times now and will keep them on my regular treat rotation. Highly recommend for happy, tail-wagging pups!
