Where do you find truth? Unanswered questions and unsolved mysteries are integral to human experience. The Brotherhood, an otherworldly conspiratorial entity steeped in witchcraft, intrigue, and murder, served by Lazarus Berakus and Damein Rathskin, believe it is up to qualified men to lead the world into harmony. One world, one government, many gods. The Brotherhoods manipulation of world finances brings devastation to the farm community of ten-year-old Skeeter Beor. When farmers organize to fight back, dissension among them brings violence, social havoc, and finally soul-searching for Skeeter and her family. Lured by the warm spring wind, the children at Skeeters one-room country school venture off on an unauthorized hike and happen upon a mystery in the making, which leaves her with foreboding. It is the catalyst for Skeeter reluctantly growing into womanhood. The spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges present a variety of reactions: fear, humor, sensitivity, and an aching to express love. Into the mix Shanna Drake, the famous actress, boldly manipulates her way into the social realm of the Brotherhood in search of her birth mother, who she feels defrauded her of her birthright. Surprise and danger await.
The third edition of European Human Rights Law: Text and Materials has been substantially expanded to provide a complete review of the wide range of rights the Convention protects, with new chapters on the right to life, property, discrimination, religious freedom, and education. The book introduces both the process and the substance of this increasingly important area of European law. A broad selection of extracts from essential cases and materials is accompanied by stimulating commentary that guides the reader through the legal rules and court system that have evolved in Strasbourg, how the court works, and how European human rights law is enforced both at the national and international level. European human rights law is also placed into a useful comparative framework alongside human rights cases decided by courts in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere. This third edition has been extensively updated to cover the major developments of recent years, including the reform of the European Court of Human Rights and the expansion of the system to central and eastern Europe.
For nation-states, the contexts for developing and implementing policy have become more complex and demanding. Yet policy studies have not fully responded to the challenges and opportunities represented by these developments. Governance literature has drawn attention to a globalising and network-based policy world, but politics and the role of the state have been de-emphasised. This book addresses this imbalance by reconsidering traditional policy-analytic concepts, and re-developing and extending new ones, in a melded approach defined as systemic institutionalism. This links policy with governance and the state and suggests how real-world issues might be substantively addressed.
In this book the geochemical cycles of the major chemical components of rocks, water, air, and life are discussed as they occur naturally and as they are perturbed by humans. Quantitative estimates are given of the fluxes of elements between major earth surface reservoirs including the atmosphere, rainwater, rocks, terrestrial and marine biota, rivers, lakes, and the oceans. The approach is worldwide in scope. The book provides an integrated approach to global geochemistry and environmental problems and introduces the reader to some fundamental concepts of geology, biogeochemistry, oceanography, meteorology, and limnology. It provides an extensive and valuable source of data for professionals while at the same time being understandable to anyone with an elementary chemical background.
