London psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass is charismatic, highly respected and at the top of his game. When Detective Superintendent Washburn asks Glass to analyze a beautiful woman who has been linked to the mysterious death of a famous sports star, his entire world is turned upside down. The woman is Catherine Tramell, best-selling American crime novelist whose fiction has a habit of turning into reality.
The magnetism between the two is immediate and Glass is captivated by Catherine both mentally and physically. Quickly sucked into her web of lies, seduction and intrigue, Glass' own basic instincts are uncovered as professional boundaries start to get blurred.
But as people around him are mysteriously being murdered, a deadly battle of wits ensues between Glass and Tramell, leading to a startling climax in which he must make a choice that will change both of their lives forever.

Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight
are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the

successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with
a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack
(Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to
return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the
increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to
help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social

Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff),

in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons
from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.

Wisconsin's most crime-ridden city, police transcriber Hazel
Greenlee listens as detectives divulge Black Harbor's gruesome
secrets. As an aspiring writer, Hazel believes that writing a novel
could be her only ticket out of this frozen hellscape. And then her

One girl murdered...another one missing...and a medical examiner
desperate to uncover the truth in When I'm Dead, the latest Black
Harbor mystery by acclaimed author Hannah Morrissey. On a
bone-chilling October night, Medical Examiner Rowan Winthorp
investigates the death of her daughter's best friend. Hours later,
the tragedy hits even closer to home when she makes a devastating
discovery--her daughter, Chloe, is gone. But, not without a trace.
A morbid mosaic of clues forces Rowan and her husband to question
how deeply they really knew their daughter. As they work closely to
peel back the layers of this case, they begin to unearth disturbing
details about Chloe and her secret transgressions...details that
threaten to tear them apart. Amidst the noise of navigating her
newfound grief and reconciling the sins of her past, an undeniable
fact rings true for Rowan: karma has finally come to collect.
A wealthy family shrouded in scandal; a detective tasked with
solving an impossible cold case; and a woman with a dark past
collide in Hannah Morrissey's stunning new Black Harbor mystery,
The Widowmaker. Ever since business mogul Clive Reynolds
disappeared twenty years ago, the name "Reynolds" has become
synonymous with "murder" and "mystery." And now, lured by a cryptic
note, down-on-her-luck photographer Morgan Mori returns home to
Black Harbor and into the web of their family secrets and double
lives. The same night she photographs the Reynolds holiday
get-together, Morgan becomes witness to a homicide of a cop that
triggers the discovery of a long-buried clue. This could finally be
the thing to crack open the chilling cold case, and Investigator
Ryan Hudson has a chance to prove himself as lead detective. If
only he could stop letting his need to solve his partner's recent
murder distract him. But as Morgan exposes her own dark demons,
could her sordid history be the key to unlocking more than one
mystery?
The rivalry between the brilliant seventeenth-century Italian
architects Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini is the stuff
of legend. Enormously talented and ambitious artists, they met as
contemporaries in the building yards of St. Peter's in Rome, became
the greatest architects of their era by designing some of the most
beautiful buildings in the world, and ended their lives as bitter
enemies. Engrossing and impeccably researched, full of dramatic
tension and breathtaking insight, "The Genius in the Design" is the
remarkable tale of how two extraordinary visionaries schemed and
maneuvered to get the better of each other and, in the process,
created the spectacular Roman cityscape of today.
Drawing critically on the UN concept of 'human security', this book
offers a transformative understanding of security in responding to
the Mediterranean refugee crisis. From a range of arts, humanities
and social science disciplines, and through case studies
incorporating key governmental, NGO and refugee perspectives, the
book critiques the major geopolitical, economic and social issues
of the crisis. It documents the prioritization of population
management techniques that are underpinned by conventional
territorial logics of security, before reflecting on the
alternative priorities of human security that can facilitate an
active human rights framework and a more holistic and humanitarian
interventionism. In advancing a human security approach to the
crisis, the book insists upon our interconnected global sense of
precarity, interrogates the human consequences of the endless
cycles of conflict and displacement, and challenges the
impoverished thinking of statist security agendas that divide the
world into zones of sanctuary and abandonment. Of broad appeal and
relevance across the social sciences, from geography and migration
studies to international relations and critical security studies,
this book will also be a timely read for people working for NGOs
and policy makers looking for a more holistic response to the
ongoing refugee crisis. Contributors include: T. Bicchieri, A.

Fitzroy Morrissey's brilliant guide to Islamic thought - from its
foundation in the seventh century to the present day. 'A
magisterial accomplishment' Professor Eugene Rogan 'The best guide
to Islamic thinking that I've read' James Barr 'I greatly enjoyed

we read of the caliphate and the Qur'an, of Sunni and Shi'a,
Salafis and Sufis. Almost a quarter of the world's populate is
Muslim. Understanding the modern world requires knowing something
about Islam. Tracing fourteen centuries of Islamic history - from
the foundation of Islam in the seventh century and the life of
Muhammad, through the growth of great Islamic empires, to the often
fraught modern period - Fitzroy Morrissey considers questions of
interpretation and legacy, of God and His relationship with His
followers, of the lives of Muslims and how they relate to others.
He presents the key teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith, analyzes
the great works of Islamic theology, philosophy, and law, and
delves into the mystical writings of the Sufis. He considers the
impact of foreign cultures - Greek and Persian, Jewish and
Christian - on early Islam, accounts for the crystallization of the
Sunni and Shi'i forms of the faith, and explains the rise of
intellectual trends like Islamic modernism and Islamism in recent
times. In this way, Morrissey presents not a monolithic creed, but
a nuanced faith made up of several often competing - and always
fascinating - intellectual tendencies. This concise and engaging
volume will appeal to readers looking to better understand the
world's second largest religion and to those interested in the
intellectual history of the last millennium and a half.

This book presents state-of-the-art perspectives on the Blue
Economy. It applies important geographical and sustainability
transitions perspectives and underscores how Blue Economy dynamics
are situated in regional contexts and shaped by the people who live
there. The book highlights the Blue Economy concept as a potential
driver of regionally sensitive, ecologically embedded, and
community-focused sustainability. The scope for Blue Economy to
form a core "cog" in our low-carbon future is obvious, from the
potential for renewable energy production and coastal resilience
building to possibilities for sustainable food production and the
delivery of economic opportunities for peripheral communities.
However, fundamental questions remain on how to meaningfully
deliver these promises, such as how to avoid embedding a model of
damaging extractivism, as per the terrestrial economy, and how to
deliver on the key social sustainability principles of human
well-being, equity, and justice when planning and developing blue
economies. As the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable
Development opens, this book provides a timely reminder of the
richness, diversity, and potential of coastal and marine spaces. It
advances geographical and transdisciplinary understandings of the
Blue Economy and sets a baseline for continued scholarly engagement
with the Blue Economy from a variety of perspectives. This timely
contribution will be of interest to policy makers, academics,
industry leaders, decision makers, and stakeholders working in or
connected to the Blue Economy Sphere and working in the fields of
Economic Geography, Regional Development, Public Policy and
Planning, Environmental Studies, and Coastal Zone Management.
This book brings together new research on loyalism in the 26
counties that would become the Irish Free State. It covers a range
of topics and experiences, including the Third Home Rule crisis in
1912, the revolutionary period, partition, independence and Irish
participation in the British armed and colonial service up to the
declaration of the Republic in 1949. The essays gathered here
examine who southern Irish loyalists were, what loyalism meant to
them, how they expressed their loyalism, their responses to Irish
independence and their experiences afterwards. The collection
offers fresh insights and new perspectives on the Irish Revolution
and the early years of southern independence, based on original
archival research. It addresses issues of particular
historiographical and political interest during the ongoing 'Decade
of Centenaries', including revolutionary violence, sectarianism,
political allegiance and identity and the Irish border, but, rather
than ceasing its coverage in 1922 or 1923, this book - like the
lives with which it is concerned - continues into the first decades
of southern Irish independence. List of contributors: Frank Barry,
Elaine Callinan, Jonathan Cherry, Seamus Cullen, Ian d'Alton, Sean
Gannon, Katherine Magee, Alan McCarthy, Pat McCarthy, Daniel
Purcell, Joseph Quinn, Brian M. Walker, Fionnuala Walsh, Donald

The Collaborative for Palliative Care ("Collaborative") is a
grassroots consortium of public and private organizations that came
together in 2005 for the purposes of studying the increasing need
for palliative care and the methods for such care. It has grown
from a small fledgling group to a membership of over 50
community-based organizations and volunteers dedicated to improving
care of the seriously ill through education, research and advocacy.
The Collaborative bridges policy, research and practice in its
initiatives and vision for the future. Partners in Palliative Care
examines specific areas of concern that the Collaborative has
addressed in its education programs and advocacy, as well as the
collaborative processes that have been so successful in building
community assets. Areas of concentration have been diverse and
include advance care planning, relational communication paradigms,
community capacity building, the role of culture and spirituality
in palliative care, the meaning of pain and suffering for seriously
ill individuals, and the ethics of health care costs in palliative
and end-of-life systems of care. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and
Palliative Care.
