The fourth in the James Bond series, with Sean Connery once again
in the title role. Global criminal organisation SPECTRE has stolen
two nuclear bombs and is threatening to blow up the world. Bond
infiltrates the terrorists' underwater base off the Bahamas in
order to foil their plan. 'Thunderball' was remade in 1983 when
Sean Connery returned to the role of 007 in 'Never Say Never
Again'.
John Hopkins, drawing on his own experience in Tangier in the
mid-20th century, has written a gripping fictional Moroccan
Odyssey. If Antonio Adams had not taken complete charge of his
step-daughter's education and upbringing, no one would have ever
heard of Daisy Adams. By obliging her to perform hard physical
labour outdoors with her brother Arturo during her childhood and
adolescence, he made it possible for her to endure the rigours of
the Spartan life she was to live later on. Daisy and Arturo were
close in age. Home-educated, isolated on the ranch, they saw few
young people. They did everything together - too many things. When
Arturo returns to America and enlists in the army, he is almost
immediately posted to Morocco and, fearing for the safety of her
son, Mrs Adams decamps to Tangier with Daisy in tow. Land Without
Echoes follows the intertwining lives of strong-willed Daisy and
her Arturo against the backdrop of sweltering, thriving Morocco,
through their many misadventures and yearning to meet once again.

This book responds to ongoing calls for clarification and consensus
regarding the meaning, scope and interplay of humanitarian law and
human rights law in the 'grey zones' of unconventional operational
environments such as counterterrorism and counterinsurgency
operations. It contributes to the debate in this area by developing
objective criteria for determining where the shift from the legal
framework of law enforcement to that of non-international armed
conflict occurs in relation to targeting law and weaponry law; by
developing improved objective criteria for determining what
constitutes direct participation in hostilities and de facto
membership in an organised armed group; by taking stock of how
existing targeting and weaponry rules are being applied to
unconventional conflicts within civilian populated areas by key
state players as well as by international and regional human rights
mechanisms; by arguing for the progressive realisation of targeting
and weaponry law so that they are more fitting for operational
environments that are increasingly urbanised and civilianised; by
seeking to understand how global networked connectivity may affect
our understanding of the operational theatre of war and the
geographical reach of the legal framework of non-international
armed conflict.
The findings of the Study Group on United States-Guatemalan
Relations,organized under the auspices of the Central American and
Caribbean Program(CACP) at the School of Advanced International
Studies, The Johns HopkinsUniversity, focus on the nature of
Guatemalan politics, possibilities for democratization,and the
options available to U.S. policymakers during the regime ofGeneral
Rios Montt. Also included in this book are two papers, commissioned
by the CACP, that present starkly contrasting views of Guatemala in
order to provide a background for the study group's discussions. As
anticipated by study group members, the Rios Montt regime fell from
power after the initial writing of this report, but their findings
nevertheless provide an excellent overview of the debate on U.S.
policy toward Guatemala.

'Where is this adventure taking us? I now have no fixed address,
don't want one, don't need one. We are floating. Nostalgia for home
is vamoose. We have tasted the lotus and we are not going back.' It
all began at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, in 1961. Two
young Princetonians have returned to New York from South America,
where their dream of buying a coffee plantation in the Peruvian
jungle evaporated. With the fire for adventure still burning in
their veins, they are tempted by a mysterious letter from Kenya and
plan a trip across Africa. They buy a white BMW motorcycle and
paint the words 'The White Nile' on the tank, to honour the route
they will follow. In limpid, elegant prose John Hopkins describes
deadly salt flats where tourists vanish without a trace, mysterious
Saharan oases and the funerals of young Tunisians killed by the
French Foreign Legion. In Leptus Magna he conjures visions of
ancient Rome and visits Homer's fabled island of the Lotus Eaters.
They escape armed vigilantes in the Tunisian desert, and are chased
by the border patrol across Libyan sands. They climb the Great
Pyramid at Giza at dawn, endure 'The Desert Express' across the
Nubian desert and travel by paddlewheel steamer through the Sudd, a
swamp bigger than Britain. But the final adventure, at the idyllic
Impala Farm at the foot of Mount Kenya, turns out to be a poisoned
paradise. The White Nile Diaries is a riveting coming-of-age
journey, a tantalising glimpse into a time when Africa was an
oyster for the young, the brave and the free. The places, the
people, the writing, and the emotional reverberations hold the
reader enthralled.
As nations race to hone contact-tracing efforts, the world's
experts consider strategies for maximum transparency and impact. As
public health professionals around the world work tirelessly to
respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that traditional
methods of contact tracing need to be augmented in order to help
address a public health crisis of unprecedented scope. Innovators
worldwide are racing to develop and implement novel public-facing
technology solutions, including digital contact tracing technology.
These technological products may aid public health surveillance and
containment strategies for this pandemic and become part of the
larger toolbox for future infectious outbreak prevention and
control. As technology evolves in an effort to meet our current
moment, Johns Hopkins Project on Ethics and Governance of Digital
Contact Tracing Technologies-a rapid research and expert consensus
group effort led by Dr. Jeffrey P. Kahn of the Johns Hopkins Berman
Institute of Bioethics in collaboration with the university's
Center for Health Security-carried out an in-depth analysis of the
technology and the issues it raises. Drawing on this analysis, they
produced a report that includes detailed recommendations for
technology companies, policymakers, institutions, employers, and
the public. The project brings together perspectives from
bioethics, health security, public health, technology development,
engineering, public policy, and law to wrestle with the complex
interactions of the many facets of the technology and its
applications. This team of experts from Johns Hopkins University
and other world-renowned institutions has crafted clear and
detailed guidelines to help manage the creation, implementation,
and application of digital contact tracing. Digital Contact Tracing
for Pandemic Response is the essential resource for this
fast-moving crisis. Contributors: Joseph Ali, JD; Anne Barnhill,

'Tangier, the white city poised atop the dark continent which turns
out to be the continent of light.' Tangier in the 1960s and '70s
was a fabled place. This edge city, the 'Interzone', became muse
and escapist's dream for artists, writers, millionaires and
socialites, who wrote, painted, partied and experienced life with
an intensity and freedom that they never could back home. Into this
louche and cosmopolitan world came John Hopkins, a young writer who
became a part of the bohemian Tangier crowd with its core of Beats
that included William Burroughs, Paul and Jane Bowles and Brion
Gysin, as well as Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet, Yves Saint
Laurent, Barbara Hutton and Malcolm Forbes. Those intoxicating
decades - Tangier's 'Golden Years' - are long gone. Grand old
houses that once sparkled with life are shuttered and dark and most
of the eccentrics who once lived and loved in the city have died.
But here, in the pages of John Hopkins' cult classic, all the
decadence and flamboyance of those days is brought to life once
more.
Injury. Adrenaline. Addiction. These are the things that fuelled
one man's race to international stardom as he pushed boundaries and
took life on and off the bike to the limits. Starting out as a
talented youth riding the desert tracks of California, his reckless
nature and incredible talent earned him a position in the rarefied
world of professional motorcycle racing. Despite the success in his
professional life, his personal life was crumbling around him -
John was battling with depression and temptation, which began to
threaten his career, health and marriage, ultimately bringing him
to a life of alcoholism, addiction and even smuggling. In his
remarkable memoir, one of the world's most renowned riders takes us
on a raw and unique journey to the extremes of fast living. John
'Hopper' Hopkins is an icon for motorsport fans worldwide. He won't
let anything hold him back. He has broken almost every bone in his
body (twice), suffered a bleed on the brain, and had a finger
amputated... yet he continued to race. Finally, at the age of 35 -
with his latest crash at Brands Hatch in 2017 putting him in rehab
for two years - he decided to hang up his helmet. Leathered tells
the incredible story of an unparalleled career. From bone-crunching
injuries and alcohol-fuelled antics to the breakdown of his
marriage, it unveils the true stories behind the lurid headlines.

Britten is the most literary British composer of the twentieth
century. His relationship to the many and varied texts that he set
was deeply committed and sensitive. As a result, both his responses
to poetry and his collaborationswith his librettists tell us a
great deal about his music, and often, about the man himself.

language andhistory scholars who bring their own perspective to
bear on Britten's work. Chapters examine all aspects of Britten's
text setting, from his engagement with a wide variety of poetry to
his relationship with his librettists. By approaching Britten's
operas and songs through their literature, this book offers fresh
insights into his vocal works. KATE KENNEDY is the Weinrebe
