But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.

Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.

Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. For as long as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a community of Neverwinter Woods elves. But her horns and tail proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves, her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into her own. Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides the Emerald Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving the natural world. They fight to maintain balance between the forces of the wild and civilization, and in doing so, protect the sanctity of each. Among their order, Doric begins to find power in her differences. But not all her fellow initiates are so capable of new growth, and as her training continues, Doric is forced to confront the very beliefs that brought her into the Enclave's fold. If she's going to protect her home, she'll have to reckon with her people, her power, and the walls she's built to keep herself safe from both.

Providing a much-needed study on cybersecurity regime building, this comprehensive book is a detailed analysis of cybersecurity norm-making processes and country positions, through the lens of multi-stakeholder diplomacy. Multi-disciplinary and multi-national scholars and practitioners use insights drawn from high-level discussion groups to provide a rigorous analysis of how major cyber powers view multi-stakeholder diplomacy.

While trying to deal with the mishap Dr. Vic finds himself being investigated by the Louisiana Tax Board and things soon get out of hand. When Jack skips town, AJ realises that his friend's wife Claire (Posey), who has a history with AJ, and daughter Pepper (Juliette Goglia) are in danger and does all he can to save them.

He is risen indeed! Here are the best reasons why it's true! Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity's most important historical fact--the resurrection--is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity. In Body of Proof, acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus really rose from the dead--and why it matters today as the foundation of our hope in the face of suffering and grief. When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. This changes everything. "A creative masterpiece of persuasive evidence for the pivotal event of human history."--LEE STROBEL, New York Times bestselling author and founding director of the Lee Strobel Center at Colorado Christian University "Body of Proof is a book every pastor should teach and every believer should read."--DR. JACK GRAHAM, senior pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church

From the author of the "dark and devious...beautifully written" (Stephen King) Mirrorland comes an "atmospheric, thrilling, and utterly captivating" (Booklist) gothic tale set on a remote Scottish island where the locals are hiding a deadly secret. Maggie Mackay has been haunted her entire life. No matter what she does, she can't shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And maybe something is... When she was five years old, Maggie announced that a man on the remote island of Kilmeray in Scotland's Outer Hebrides--a place she'd never visited--was murdered. Her unfounded claim drew media attention and turned the locals against each other, creating rifts that never mended. Now, nearly twenty years later, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened, and what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, the island's legendary and violent storms begin to rage again and Maggie's own life is in danger... Unnerving, enthralling, and filled with gothic suspense, The Blackhouse is a spectacularly sinister tale readers won't soon forget.

The definitive celebration of the work, life and times of Sir Kenneth Grange (born 1929), one of the most revered, innovative and influential industrial designers of the modern age. 'You may not know the name Kenneth Grange, but you'll almost certainly know his work. He has designed just about everything' Guardian The work of renowned design pioneer Sir Kenneth Grange has touched the lives of almost every consumer worldwide and has had a lasting influence on today’s younger designers, from Sir Jonathan Ive, Jasper Morrison and Marc Newson to Thomas Heatherwick and the founding brothers of Joseph Joseph. The range of Grange’s designs is legendary, from the InterCity 125 train for British Rail, the TX1 model of the London black taxi, domestic appliances for Ronson, Kenwood, Morphy Richards, Bendix and others, razors for Wilkinson Sword, lighting for Anglepoise, cameras for Kodak, pens for Parker, post boxes for Royal Mail – and much more for major manufacturers in the UK, the USA and Japan. This fascinating story of a life in design is set against the background of Britain’s remarkable transition from post-war exhaustion and a battered industrial landscape to the vibrant powerhouse of creativity and innovation that it has become today. Through a combination of hard work, natural talent and a ‘can-do’ attitude, Grange found himself swept up in that early ‘industry of change and taste-making’, and he has remained at the centre of it for seven decades. For many years design specialist Lucy Johnston has had personal contact with Kenneth Grange, giving her privileged access to this giant among post-war designers of international renown and influence. Based on a series of in-depth discussions, this illuminating book explores Grange’s work as seen through his own eyes, illustrated with doodles, sketches, scale models and product photographs. The story is set in its social, political and creative context, introducing the figures who have inspired, commissioned and worked alongside Grange as his designs transformed Britain and the world and helped to shape our modern-day consumer culture.
