Blackstone's Handbook for Policing Students 2020 reflects the
multitude of avenues into policing now open to future police
officers, from pre-join degree courses and degree apprenticeships
to progression from serving as a Special or working as a PCSO.
Divided into six parts, representing key stages in your progression
from pre-join programmes, to initial training and then
confirmation, the Handbook leads you through the topics, covering
theory, discussion, and practice while developing skills of
analysis, problem solving, and forms of reasoning. Coupled with a
comprehensive and accessible style, the book ensures you have the
knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake independent
patrol in a professional and competent manner. Key topics covered
include stop, search, and entry; alcohol and drug offences; sexual
offences; interviewing; and intelligence, as well as a new chapter
on cybercrime. Parts of initial police training common to all new
entrants are easily identified and there are specific chapters on
qualification structures and training and assessment, meeting the
needs of students whether you are entering policing through
pre-join schemes or through an alternative qualification route.

It is the time of the Crusades. The Islamic world is divided and
the Franks have captured the Holy Land. As the mighty Saladin
struggles to unite the warring clans of Arabia against the
invaders, Khalidah, a young Bedouin woman of no obvious importance
finds herself a pawn in a deadly plot involving her own feuding
tribe and the powerful Templar Knights. Faced with certain death,
she runs away with a man she barely knows, towards adventure and
the echoes of a past that somehow connect her to the Jinn - the
mysterious Afghan warriors who may hold the key to the coming
battle for the Holy Land.

It is the End of Days. Modern technology has been obliterated,
mythical creatures roam the streets, and the immortals are dying
horribly. But the only person who seems to realize that everything
has changed is Esther Madden, an ordinary Irish schoolgirl.
Esther's attempts to warn the others leave her branded as mad and
dangerous, shut up in a remedial convent school. Just as she begins
to resign herself to her fate, however, she receives a peculiar
message from someone who calls himself Theletos. He, too, knows
that the human world is coming undone, and he knows how to fix it:
Esther must find a girl named Sophie Creedon and convince her to
return to the Garden. The catch: Theletos can't physically help
Esther to find Sophie, and she has only ten days to do it before
the world will end. Armed with nothing but her wits and this
cryptic message, Esther embarks on a journey that will lead her not
only to her goal, but to a fate beyond her wildest dreams.
The Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) Program began
twenty years ago to provide support for women entering doctoral
programs in the mathematical sciences. With a steadfast commitment
to diversity among participants, faculty, and staff, EDGE initially
alternated between Bryn Mawr and Spelman Colleges. In later years,
EDGE has been hosted on campuses around the nation and expanded to
offer support for women throughout their graduate school and
professional careers. The refereed papers in A Celebration of the
EDGE Program's Impact on the Mathematics Community and Beyond range
from short memoirs, to pedagogical studies, to current mathematics
research. All papers are written by former EDGE participants,
mentors, instructors, directors, and others connected to EDGE.
Together, these papers offer compelling testimony that EDGE has
produced a diverse new generation of leaders in the mathematics
community. This volume contains technical and non-technical works,
and it is intended for a far-reaching audience, including
mathematicians, mathematics teachers, diversity officers,
university administrators, government employees writing educational
or science policy, and mathematics students at the high school,
college, and graduate levels. By highlighting the scope of the work
done by those supported by EDGE, the volume offers strong evidence
of the American Mathematical Society's recognition that EDGE is "a
program that makes a difference." This volume offers unique
testimony that a 20-year old summer program has expanded its reach
beyond the summer experience to produce a diverse new generation of
women leaders, nearly half of whom are underrepresented women.
While some books with a women-in-math theme focus only on one topic
such as research or work-life balance, this book's broad scope
includes papers on mathematics research, teaching, outreach, and
career paths.

Chapter 1: Witch Eyes Her first love was the wind. Pre-speech she
followed it to the shore, a sickle of platinum sand between two
granite monoliths. Its thrusting curve held her as a mother's arms
might have, as it held the crooning waves and crying birds, the
bladderwrack strewn like entrails among beached jellyfish and
sanded glass. On cloudy days she stood and let its magisterial
sorrow wash over her; when the sun shone she chased it, laughing.
When she was old enough she tied her skirt between her legs and
climbed the rocks, to feel its heady edge as it tried to tear her
down. Later, battered by a longing she could neither trace nor
name, she would wade out into the sea until its ancient cold numbed
her body and then reach out to embrace the wind. And one day, when
she'd left that beach far behind, she would realize that during
those half-forgotten days of her earliest childhood, the wind's
soul had blown into hers, rending it to tatters, knotting them
again with its own fingers so that it would never quite leave her.
Knowing that, she would come to peace at last. But there were many
days to live through before that one. Serendipity is a tale of
love, lost and found.
The development of epic theater before, during, and after Brecht's
time, and analysis of epic productions, showing the form's
continued relevance. Bertolt Brecht and the director Erwin Piscator
developed epic theater in the 1920s because they found Western
realism limited to the single perspective of an individual, and
thus unable to confront the new realities: technologicalwarfare,
revolution, the metropolis, and the mass media, among others. The
epic stage juxtaposed the old media of actors and scenery with new
media, including film, photography, and electronic sound.
Bryant-Bertail provides analyses of theatrical productions in the
epic tradition from before, during, and after Brecht's lifetime:
Hasek's The Good Soldier Schwejk directed by Piscator; Mother
Courage written and directed by Brecht; Lenz's The Tutor directed
by Brecht; Ibsen's Peer Gynt in productions directed by Peter Stein
and Rustom Bharucha; Buchner's Leon and Lena (& Lenz) directed
by JoAnne Akalaitis; and Les Atrides (The House of Atreus) from
Aeschylus and Euripides, directed by Ariane Mnouchkine.
Bryant-Bertail shows that epic theater's relevance for politically
engaged artists lies in its discovery that history, fate, and human
nature are spatio-temporal constructs that may be reconstructed on
stage. Sarah Bryant-Bertail is associate professor in the School of
Drama at the University of Washington.

across three lifetimes is impossible. But, Ahmose is a man who will
attempt to do the impossible, traveling from ancient Egypt, to Rome
as Caesar is murdered, and into the French Revolution in pursuit of
the woman he loves. However, an all powerful and cruel goddess set
on his suffering stands in his way. This is the story of Ahmose,
the mortal who dared to play... The Goddess' Game.
A young boy is brutally murdered... A man named Greg Berra has gone
insane... Katie and Brandon Henderson are being stalked in their
dreams by a monster... And Sheriff Hollis Maynard is convinced he
knows what evil walks Kiamatia, Texas... Deimos.
