As a child, Elias Chacour lived in a small Palestinian village in
Galilee. When tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed and
nearly one million forced into refugee camps in 1948, Elias began a
long struggle with how to respond. In Blood Brothers, he blends his
riveting life story with historical research to reveal a
little-known side of the Arab-Israeli conflict, exploring whether
bitter enemies can ever be reconciled. This book offers hope and
insight to help each of us learn to live at peace in a world of
tension and terror.
Many informal organisations around the world are making a positive
impact on the environment and their communities by turning waste
into a resource, increasing the social capacity of their community
and reducing the amount of pollution in their environment. Ending
Plastic Waste: Community Actions Around the World presents a
collection of stories, advice and information from experts in the
fields of waste management, plastic pollution and environmental
finance to give a broad outlook on how 19 programs from 14
different countries are protecting our planet. By sharing these
journeys, the authors hope to encourage others to take a community
approach to ending plastic waste. Perfect for decision-makers
working in environmental and marine fields, industry stakeholders,
and citizen scientist groups, this book provides guidance on how to
successfully implement a new program, what resources are needed and
the lessons learned by the people behind these programs in
overcoming barriers.
The isolation of graphene in 2004 by two scientists at the
University of Manchester-a breakthrough later recognised by the
Nobel Prize for physics-revealed to the world a brand new 'wonder
material' which had been 'completely hidden from science'.
Graphene, the world's first two-dimensional material, promises huge
opportunities for a range of sectors, from aerospace to energy to
biomedical. But how can the UK be known for 'Made in Britain' as
well as discovered in Britain? As an answer, this book explores how
the Manchester model of innovation has evolved to not only support
great science but also accelerate the adoption of graphene into
real-world products and anchoring an innovation ecosystem in the
place of UK discovery. This book features first-hand experience,
case studies and interviews with key strategic players in the
graphene story to illustrate how Manchester has built a unique
model of collaboration with industry to create an ecosystem that
features a supply chain of companies not only producing graphene
material but also starting to disrupt the marketplace with new
products and application as we approach the tipping point of
commercialisation.
This book is for teachers of Media Studies and English who are
responsible for delivering this exciting and demanding area of the
curriculum. Suitable for both new and experienced teachers, it

Comparative, International and Global Justice: Perspectives from
Criminology and Criminal Justice presents and critically assesses a
wide range of topics relevant to criminology, criminal justice and
global justice. The text is divided into three parts: comparative
criminal justice, international criminology, and transnational and
global criminology. Within each field are located specific topics
which the authors regard as contemporary and highly relevant and
that will assist students in gaining a fuller appreciation of
global justice issues. Authors Cyndi Banks and James Baker address
these complex global issues using a scholarly but accessible
approach, often using detailed case studies. The discussion of each
topic is a comprehensive contextualized account that explains the
social context in which law and crime exist and engages with
questions of explanation or interpretation. The authors challenge
students to gain knowledge of international and comparative
criminal justice issues and think about them in a critical manner.
It has become difficult to ignore the global and international
dimensions of criminal justice and criminology and this text aims
to enhance criminal justice education by focusing on some of the
issues engaging criminology worldwide, and to prepare students for
a future where fields of study like transnational crime are
unexceptional.
