This book features over 250 alphabetical entries covering the most important and the latest cutting-edge theory from anarchy to world systems theory. Entries include scholars, writers, concepts, principal debates, argumentation, theories, leading schools of thought, states, international bodies, conflicts and war, treaties and alliances. The coverage is global and comprehensive with substantial cross-referencing, and the extensive index serves as a major reference tool enabling readers to pick up additional important subjects from the main alphabetical entries.Clear and concise writing cuts through even the most opaque theoretical subjects and the result is an essential reference guide for students of International Relations, politics and history and will guide both specialists and general readers through the fast-changing complexities of global politics.

Advanced Leader Coaching

By: Chris Edger,Nollaig Heffernan

Described by Professor Jonathan Passmore - Director of the highly regarded Henley Business School Centre for Coaching - as 'a fabulous book written by two highly experienced coaches (providing) a wealth of details to support the Executive Coach and individual leaders', 'Advanced Leader Coaching' is the must have reference book and guide for all Executive and Leadership coaches. Written by Professor Chris Edger (a shortlisted author of multiple books on leadership and coaching) and Dr Nollaig Heffernan (inventor of the ILM 72 leadership style psychometric test and member of the Centre for Neuroscience, UK) 'Advanced Leader Coaching' provides leading-edge insights into the way in which professional or workplace-based coaches can optimize Executive and Leadership performance. Practical and easy to use, it provides coaches with an overarching 'Advanced Leader Coaching Model', focused upon accelerating three key leadership factors; personal, interpersonal and business growth. Within these three factors various critical subcomponents are explored; personal (self-awareness, mental toughness, capacity, style and transitioning), interpersonal (customer, employee, team and stakeholder) and business (strategy, operations, change and innovation). Backed up with contemporary concepts, models, questions and case studies that coaches can use to raise Executive and Leadership performance, this book should provide real stimulus and confidence to coaching practitioners who work within this challenging domain. Tried and tested by the authors on hundreds of Executives and Leaders over the past decade, the approaches, techniques and methods outlined in 'Advanced Leader Coaching' provide a proven methodology and set of practical tools for any coach engaged with the task of accelerating Executive or Leadership performance!

Horror Films by Subgenre

A Viewer's Guide

By: Chris Vander Kaay,Kathleen Fernandez-Vander Kaay

More horror movies are produced and released each year than any other film genre. While horror enjoys broad popularity, many hardcore fans voraciously consume films from their favorite subgenres while avoiding others entirely. This says something interesting about the films and their audiences. This primer and reference guide defines and explores 75 alphabetically listed subgenres of horror film, from Abduction to Witchcraft and two Zombie subgenres. Each sizeable entry provides a critical survey of the subgenre, a detailed examination of its characteristic elements and themes, and a discussion of three or four exemplary titles as well as other titles of interest.

The Men Who Raised the Bar

The evolution of the highest individual score in Test cricket

By: Chris Waters

Few sporting records capture the imagination quite like that of the highest individual score in Test cricket. It is the blue riband record of batting achievement, the ultimate statement of stamina and skill. From Charles Bannerman, who scored 165 for Australia against England in the inaugural Test match in 1877, to Brian Lara, who made 400 not out for West Indies against England in 2004, the record has changed hands ten times. Chris Waters' The Men Who Raised the Bar charts the growth of the record through nearly one hundred and fifty years of Test cricket. It is a journey that takes in a legendary line of famous names including Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Leonard Hutton, Sir Garfield Sobers and Walter Hammond, along with less heralded players whose stories are brought back into the light. Drawing on the reflections of the record-holders, Waters profiles the men who raised the bar and their historic performances.

The Great North Road

Then and Now

By: Chris Cooper

The Great North Road — since 1922 officially classified as the A1 — has been the main route between London and Edinburgh since earliest times. But roads change and so much of the original has since been bypassed leaving an intriguing trail of discovery for author Chris ‘Wolfie’ Cooper. As we travel the 400 miles, we follow every twist and turn of the old road, past the remains of bygone carriageways, forgotten byways, dead ends, and wayside rest houses of distant memory, and even trace parts which have completely disappeared.
