Rudolf Laban was one of the great theorists and practitioners of movement. In Laban for All, expert teachers of Laban's techniques offer simplified version of his system that can be used by anyone, from beginners to pros. Extensively illustrated with John Dalby's line drawings and diagrams, Laban for All lays out the basic vocabulary of the Laban system and goes on to offer specific exercises. The result is a thorough - and thoroughly practical - grounding in the most important movement system in use today.
The motor vehicle accident is a leading cause of psychological and physical injury. About 1% of the population in western countries are injured in this way every year. This book systematically reviews the steps in preparing psychological assessments of individuals who have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA). It comprehensively reviews common mental disorders associated with MVAs and outlines causation mechanisms. The book will appeal primarily to psychologists, but the evaluations outlined will also assist lawyers, insurers, and other interested parties to determine fair compensation for these injuries, as well as ways to rehabilitate those persons impacted. The suggestions and evaluation approaches offered are empirically supported by up-to-date scientific research and the authors’ experiences in conducting thousands of these evaluations over four decades. The ideas presented will help move the systematic evaluations of psychological injuries from motor vehicle accidents forward in an objective and balanced fashion.
School and Amateur Orchestras is devoted to a discussion of school and amateur orchestras and consideration of instruments that are normally associated with them. The book opens with a general discussion of students, teachers, music centers, and junior music schools.

Subsequent chapters deal with the planning and direction of orchestras and the selection of instruments and music.
This book is intended as a complement to the authors' Insurance Law: Doctrines and Principles,following its general pattern but integrating the jurisprudence from other common law jurisdictions, particularly the USA, as a means of demonstrating how problems which have long confronted the English courts frequently receive different legislative/judicial responses elsewhere. Although the emphasis of the book lies with the case law spanning some two centuries, the authors introduce each section with a brief narrative designed to focus the reader's attention as he or she works through the cases. A critical approach is adopted and emphasis is given to major journal articles and to the current UK and EU reform agenda. Readership: undergraduates, external students taking the London LL.M Insurance Law course, CII candidates and those who lack access to a law library.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from John Birmingham's Angels of Vengeance. The world changed forever when a massive wave of energy slammed into North America and wiped out 99 percent of the population. As the United States lay in ruins, chaos erupted across the globe. Now, while a skeleton American government tries to reconstruct the nation, swarms of pirates and foreign militias plunder the lawless wasteland where even the president is fair prey. In New York City, armies of heavily armed predators hold sway—and hold off a struggling U.S. military. In Texas, a rogue general bent on secession leads a brutal campaign against immigrants. And in England, a U.S. special ops agent enters a shadow war against a deadly enemy who has made the fight personal. While the president ponders a blitz attack on America’s once greatest city, the forces of order and anarchy wage all-out war for postapocalyptic dominance—and a handful of survivors must decide how far to go to salvage whatever uncertain future awaits . . . after America.
