Because marine governance in most countries is sectoral,
maritime policies are frequently fragmented, reactive, and even
contradictory, meaning that marine resources are underutilized and
poorly protected. To avoid these problems, the concept of
integrated national maritime policy (INMP) has been developed. This
book examines this concept, analysing its current application in
four countries Australia, Canada, UK and USA whilst discussing at
length how it might be applied to Saudi Arabia.
Based on extensive fieldwork carried out in Saudi Arabia
including interviews with officials in government departments with
maritime responsibilities, and a survey administered to 230
stakeholders the book offers a unique insight into INMP in the
Kingdom. The book provides a practical template for developing the
political will and civil constituency in Saudi Arabia necessary for
the introduction of INMP. In setting out in detail its benefits,
this book could help build the momentum in Saudi Arabia required to
implement the concept as well as attract other countries to do the
same. A significant contribution to the growing literature on ocean
governance, this book will be of great importance to policy makers
and scholars of Middle Eastern studies, marine governance and
comparative politics.

Many Christians find prayer difficult - and, as a result, do not do
much of it. The fact is, many simply do not know how to pray. Even
St Paul notes this sad fact when, in Romans 8:26, he says, "We do
not know how to pray as we ought." In this short book, written for
a popular audience by well-known Catholic biblical scholar Dr. Tim
Gray, we discover the secret of the saints which can enable us to
enter into a lively dialogue with God. Their secret: the ancient
art of Lectio Divina (divine, or sacred reading), which is reading,
meditating on, and praying the Scriptures. As St. Cyprian notes,
"Diligently practice prayer and lectio divina. When you pray, you
speak with God; when you read [the Scriptures], God speaks to you."
Here, we discover that we don't need a mystic gene or divine
epiphany to hear God; we simply need to take up the Bible and read.
An illuminating view of the world as seen through the tinted lens
of Hollywood's most important chronicler of entertainment news and
show business. Variety is not only a fascinating look at the
history of entertainment as reported by the world's most highly
regarded commentator of show business news, it is also a history of
American popular culture and a record of the influence and
confluence of art, life, and Hollywood. Illustrated with hundreds
of front pages, its articles chronicle everything from Debbie
Reynolds's opinions of 1960s youth to how Steven Spielberg and Jaws
transformed the movie business. With new and archival photographs
spanning Variety's more-than-century-old archives, the book
includes exclusive essays by a host of well-regarded artists about
what Variety means to them, how Variety has impacted the
entertainment industry, and what they felt like the first time they
saw their names in Variety's pages. Variety is a decade-by-decade
documentation of such pivotal moments as the audience's move from
vaudeville houses to movie theaters, censorship, how Lucy and Desi
changed the face of television, Walter Cronkite's shaping of
America's view of the Vietnam War, the birth of the summer
blockbuster, the game-changing technology of Jurassic Park and
Avatar, and how the movies, television, and theater reflect
society's ever-changing social values and mores. The perfect gift
for anyone who loves Hollywood, Variety is also a
never-before-available look at the premier source of entertainment
reporting.
