Jaws on top of a cable car), and finally into outer space (where he
uncovers a ruthless plot to wipe out the human race and replace it
with genetically engineered humanoids). Highlights include Bond's
encounters with NASA scientist Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and
the climactic battle aboard villain Hugo Drax's (Michael Lonsdale)

Investigating Geographical Issues
As heard on BBC Radio 4 and RTE Radio 1 A WATERSTONES BEST FOOD AND
DRINK BOOK OF 2022 'An easy read mixture of wit and wisdom ...
should be read by all who drink more than the limit' Prof David
Nutt, author of Drink? The New Science of Alcohol and Your Health
The popular broadcaster and columnist sets out to discover the
unsung pleasures of drinking in moderation. The recommended alcohol
limit is 14 units a week. Adrian Chiles used to put away almost
100. Ever since he was a teenager, drinking was his idea of a good
time - and not just his, but seemingly the whole nation's. Still,
it wasn't very good for him: the doctor made that clear. If you
lined them up, Adrian must have knocked back three miles of drinks.
How many of them had he genuinely wanted? A mile? There's an awful
lot of advice out there on how to quit booze completely. If you
just want to drink a bit less, the pickings are slim. Yet while the
alcohol industry depends on a minority of problem drinkers, the
majority really do enjoy in moderation. What's their secret? Join
the inimitable Chiles as he sets out around Britain and plumbs his
only slightly fuzzy memories of a lifetime in pubs in a quest to
find the good drinker within.
A Black-majority city with a history of the most severe segregation
and inequity, Richmond is still grappling with this legacy as it
moves into the twenty-first century. Marvin Chiles now offers a
unique take on Richmond’s racial politics since the civil rights
era by demonstrating that the city’s current racial disparities
in economic mobility, housing, and public education actually
represent the unintended consequences of Richmond’s racial
reconciliation measures. He deftly weaves municipal politics
together with grassroots efforts, examining the work and legacies
of Richmond’s Black leaders, from Henry Marsh on the city council
in the 1960s to Mayor Levar Stoney, to highlight the urban
revitalization and public history efforts meant to overcome racial
divides after Jim Crow yet which ironically reinforced racial
inequality across the city. Compellingly written, this project
carries both local and broader regional significance for
Richmonders, Virginians, southerners, and all Americans.
One significant yet challenging element of studying New York State
is the centrality of its history to the broader sweep of American
life. This prominence leaves many episodes in New York's past
well-known and intensely studied. However, as the articles in the
Winter 2022-2023 issue of New York History (103.2) reminds us,
innovative methodologies and new documentary evidence ceaselessly
open opportunities for fresh insights into the Empire State's rich
past—from the social history of New Netherland to
mid-twentieth-century design.
In an autobiography marked by staggering vulnerability, former NBA
star Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf-whose given name was Chris Jackson before
converting to Islam and changing it in 1991-recounts the twists,
turns, trials, and triumphs of his life. He is perhaps most
well-known for being exiled from the league for praying--instead of
standing and saluting the flag - during the playing of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" before games throughout the 1995-96 season.
Abdul-Rauf's protest sent shockwaves through the NBA that can still
be felt today. With wit and candor, Abdul-Rauf tells the story of
how he rose to the top of his game--only to have his career taken
away in the blink of an eye when he stood up for his principles. He
also recounts his experiences living with Tourette Syndrome,
committing his life to the Islamic faith, and growing up estranged
from his father. In the Blink of an Eye challenges readers to
examine our own lives by asking what we value, how we want to be
remembered, and how we can contribute to making the world a better
place. Through evocative passages that place the reader in the heat
of the moment as well as poignant portraits of the important people
in his life, In the Blink of an Eye will capture the attention of
readers from all walks of life. This book is a must-read for anyone
who has faced down adversity by standing up for the integrity of
their own life, path, and identity. From his confrontations with
racism--including the burning down of his house--to his difficult
relationship with some of his closest family members, Adbul-Rauf
reveals in intimate detail the important and inspirational, if
painful, episodes that shaped his life.
Enabling the City is a collaborative book that focuses on how
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary processes of knowledge
production may contribute to urban transformation at a local level
in the 21st century, striking a balance between enthusiastic
support for such transformational potential and a cautious note
regarding the persistent challenges to the ethos as well as the
practice of inter and transdisciplinarity. The rich stories reflect
different research and local practice cultures, exploring issues
such as ageing, community, health and dementia, public space,
energy, mobility cultures, heritage, housing, re-use, and renewal,
as well as more universal questions about urban sustainability and
climate change, and perhaps most importantly, education. Against
this backdrop, aspirations for the 21st century are related to the
international, national, and local agendas expressed in the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the New Urban Agenda
(NUA), raising fundamental questions of how to enable development.
We highlight aspects of transformative learning and ways of
knowing, critical to any collaborative and participatory process.
Being a paramedic is a tough job; it's tougher when you stumble
onto a crashed alien spacecraft. Melanie Mooney thought she was
just doing her job when she came upon an unusual accident in the
deep woods late one night. Acting alone, what she found was nothing
like she'd expected. What followed was even more unexpected.
Recruited by emissaries of a galaxy-spanning civilization, Melanie
is thrust into a world she thought only existed in supermarket
tabloids. As the first human in the Galactic Union Medical Corps,
she cares for extraterrestrials in desperate need of a medic who
can ignore the fact that they're nothing like any patient she's
ever seen, even on their best days. And in emergency medicine, it's
a given that every patient is having the worst day of their life.
Each run takes her deeper into the galaxy and farther from home,
navigating alien cultures that only get weirder with each call. It
will take all of Melanie's experience, instinct, and grit to prove
herself--and the rest of humanity--to be worthy of the Union.
That's a lot to put on a woman who'd just like to end the day with
a cheeseburger and a cold beer.
Michael Chiles and David Goodwin team up to present a comprehensive
guide for all new teachers as they begin their journey, summarising
a range of essential techniques. This book will be a key resource
for all practitioners training to teach across subjects and phases.
Michael and David provide clear guidance on key practical pedagogy
techniques including establishing routines, building relationships
and difficult conversations, as well as supporting teachers in
preparing for their first interview. Each technique, supported by
research-based evidence, will be explained and illustrated expertly
to become a guide that will support practitioners entering the
profession to unlock the complexity of the classroom.
*A COMPANION TO THE BOOK DISRUPTIVE THINKING* For most of our
lives, we are encouraged to trudge along the well-worn paths of
those who have come before us. We learn the rules - in our
families, in our schools, in our workplaces, in our churches - and
most of the messages we receive tell us that following the rules
will allow us to arrive at the lives we desire. But when change
becomes not only desirable but also urgently necessary, this way of
being no longer serves us. In fact, in every human endeavor, every
major leap forward, has involved a cataclysmic challenge to
existing ways of thinking and being. Breakthroughs, by definition,
run against the grain and almost always encounter skepticism and
opposition. In this book for leaders, thinkers, doers, and
creators, Bishop T.D. Jakes illuminates the pathway to encouraging
and unleashing disruptive thinking and provides the wisdom and
practical skills we need to evolve our most original and
potentially transformational ideas from vision to reality. Through
his insight into how our minds and emotions work and through his
experiences as a pastor, entrepreneur, and creator, Bishop Jakes
leads us into a new way of relating to and transforming the world
around us for good. Disruptive Thinking will show you the mindset
and the tools you need to create groundbreaking and meaningful
change in your own life and in the world around you.
