Slightly scandalous. Totally fabulous.
The highly anticipated sequel follows our four best friends as they take their book club to Italy for the fun girls trip they never had.
When things go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.
In these vibrant narratives, 25 of the world’s most accomplished movement lawyers and activists become storytellers, reflecting on their experiences at the frontlines of some of the most significant struggles of our time. In an era where human rights are under threat, their words offer both an inspiration and a compass for the way movements can use the law – and must sometimes break it – to bring about social justice.
The contributors here take you into their worlds: Jennifer Robinson frantically orchestrating a protest outside London’s Ecuadorean embassy to prevent the authorities from arresting her client Julian Assange; Justin Hansford at the barricades during the protests over the murder of Black teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Ghida Frangieh in Lebanon’s detention centres trying to access arrested protestors during the 2019 revolution; Pavel Chikov defending Pussy Riot and other abused prisoners in Russia; Ayisha Siddiqa, a shy Pakistani immigrant, discovering community in her new home while leading the 2019 youth climate strike in Manhattan; Greenpeace activist Kumi Naidoo on a rubber dinghy in stormy Arctic seas contemplating his mortality as he races to occupy an oil rig.
The stories in The Revolution Will Not Be Litigated capture the complex, and often-awkward dance between legal reform and social change. They are more than compelling portraits of fascinating lives and work, they are revelatory: of generational transitions; of epochal change and apocalyptic anxiety; of the ethical dilemmas that define our age; and of how one can make a positive impact when the odds are stacked against you in a harsh world of climate crisis and ruthless globalization.

The book contains seven survey papers about ordinary differential
equations.
The common feature of all papers consists in the fact that
nonlinear equations are focused on. This reflects the situation in
modern mathematical modelling - nonlinear mathematical models are
more realistic and describe the real world problems more
accurately. The implications are that new methods and approaches
have to be looked for, developed and adopted in order to understand
and solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
The purpose of this volume is to inform the mathematical community
and also other scientists interested in and using the mathematical
apparatus of ordinary differential equations, about some of these
methods and possible applications.

Nebula Awards, the Locus Awards, the Aurora Awards, the Sunburst
Awards and an Amazon.com Best Book of the Month***** TWO CRIME
FAMILIES, ONE SOURCE OF POWER: JADE. Jade is the lifeblood of the
city of Janloon - a stone that enhances a warrior's natural
strength and speed. Jade is mined, traded, stolen and killed for,
controlled by the ruthless No Peak and Mountain families. When a
modern drug emerges that allows anyone - even foreigners - to wield
jade, simmering tension between the two families erupts into open
violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of
all in the families, from their grandest patriarch to even the
lowliest runner on the streets. Jade City is an epic tale of blood,
family, honour, and of those who live and die by ancient laws in a
changing world.
This book provides an up-to-date description of the methods needed
to face the existence of solutions to some nonlinear boundary value
problems. All important and interesting aspects of the theory of
periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations related to
the physical and mathematical question of resonance are treated.
The author has chosen as a model example the periodic problem for a
second order scalar differential equation. In a paedagogical style
the author takes the reader step by step from the basics to the
most advanced existence results in the field.

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud
for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that
endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they
alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders,
war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal
kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's
most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge
they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all
sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous
alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest
office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes
to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of
Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic
trilogy about family, honour and those who live and die by the
ancient laws of blood and jade.

This text should appeal to all researchers who have an interest in
Leonid showers. It contains over 40 research papers that present
some of the first observational results of the November 1999 Leonid
meteor storm, the first storm observed by modern observing
techniques. The book is a glimpse of the large amount of
information obtained during NASA's Leonid Multi-Instrument Aircraft
Campaign and groundbased campaigns throughout the world. It
provides an overview on the state of meteor shower research for any
professional researcher or amateur meteor observer interested in
studies of meteors and meteoroids and their relation to comets, the
origin of life on Earth, the satellite impact hazard issue, and
upper atmosphere studies of neutral atom chemistry, the formation
of meteoric debris, persistent trains, airglow, noctilucent clouds,
sprites and elves.

John Ford's adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel follows
the traumatic journey made by the Joads, a dispossesed Oklahoma
family who head towards California to begin a new life. When Tom
Joad (Henry Fonda) returns home after being released from prison,
he discovers the farmlands have been destroyed by dust storms.
Seeking a better future, he leaves with his mother (Jane Darwell)
and the rest of the family for California. Their journey is far
from easy, however, and there is no guarantee the 'promised land'
will provide the life they are hoping for.
Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the
directing debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in
New York City, the twelve jurors retire to consider the verdict.
The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his
father, and eleven of the twelve jurors do not hesitate in finding
him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to
send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote
of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to
re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves -
in a fresh light.
This textbook presents all the basics for the first two years of a
course in mathematical analysis, from the natural numbers to
Stokes-Cartan Theorem. The main novelty which distinguishes this
book is the choice of introducing the Kurzweil-Henstock integral
from the very beginning. Although this approach requires a small
additional effort by the student, it will be compensated by a
substantial advantage in the development of the
theory, and later on when learning about more advanced
topics. The text guides the reader with clarity in the discovery of
the many different subjects, providing all necessary tools – no
preliminaries are needed. Both students and their instructors will
benefit from this book and its novel approach, turning their course
in mathematical analysis into a gratifying and successful
experience.
In 1990, under the direction of Ernest Boyer, the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published a classic
report on the loss of a meaningful basis for true community on
college campuses-and in the nation. Now this expanded edition of
Campus Life: In Search of Community reintroduces educational
leaders to the Boyer report's proposals while offering up-to-date
analysis and recommendations for Christian campuses today. Editors
Drew Moser and Todd C. Ream have assembled pairs of academic and
student-development leaders from top Christian colleges to offer a
hopeful update on the practical contributions of Christian higher
education to the practice of community. This volume includes new
chapters, the long out-of-print Boyer report in its entirety, and a
discussion guide to facilitate team conversations. Higher education
now stands at a critical point, yet the contributors to this
expanded edition of Campus Life see current challenges as an
opportunity to revive Boyer's commitment to its formative power.
Contributors include: Mark L. Sargent and Edee Schulze of Westmont
College Randall Basinger and Kris Hansen-Kieffer of Messiah College
Brad Lau and Linda Samek of George Fox University Stephen T. Beers
and Edward Ericson III of John Brown University Paul O. Chelsen and
Margaret Diddams of Wheaton College Doretha O'Quinn and Tim Young
of Vanguard University Christian higher education now stands at a
critical point, yet the contributors to this expanded edition of
Campus Life see current challenges as an opportunity to revive
Boyer's commitment to understanding the formative power of
Christian higher education.
