Life and relationships can be complicated and frustrating. But when
we see ourselves, others, and the world through the eyes of Jesus,
everything changes. Instead of pain we can see purpose. Instead of
opposition, opportunity. Instead of fear, freedom. Thankfully,
Spirit-filled sight isn't reserved for the spiritually elite. It's
available to all of us through a simple, intimate prayer: "Jesus,
how do you see this?" When you see as Jesus sees, you'll be
empowered to · discover the wonder and beauty you've been missing
· clear away needless frustrations and misunderstandings · take
the limits off your life · see others with genuine compassion and
faith · have hope again for the world through Christ's victory
over sin and death If you long to live with greater joy, victory,
and wonder, let pastor Alan Wright lead you through the Scriptures
to the Savior's side to see everything from his perspective. You're
going to love the view!
This book provides the most comprehensive and authoritative book
yet published on the subject of criminal investigation, a rapidly
developing area within the police and other law enforcement
agencies, and an important sub discipline within police studies.
The subject is rarely out of the headlines, and there is widespread
media interest in criminal investigation. Within the police rapid
strides are being made in the direction of professionalizing the
criminal investigation process, and it has been a particular focus
as a means of improving police performance. A number of important
reports have been published in the last few years, highlighting the
importance of the criminal investigation process not only to the
work of the police but to public confidence in this. Each of these
reports has identified shortcomings in the way criminal
investigations have been conducted, and has made recommendations
for improvement . The Handbook of Criminal Investigation provides a
rigorous and critical approach to not only the process of criminal
investigation, but also the context in which this takes place, the
theory underlying it, and the variety of factors which influence
approaches to it. It will be an indispensable source of reference
for anybody with an interest in, and needing to know about,
criminal investigation. Contributors to the book are drawn from
both practitioners in the field and academics.

This book aims to provide an accessible introduction to the study
of organised crime - about those who commit it, the effect it has
on individuals, businesses and states, and the ways in which states
and the international community have sought to contain it. It
explores all facets of what has become one of the key problems
facing governments, policy makers and law enforcement agencies in
the early twenty-first century. Organised Crime has four
predominant themes: the nature and central concepts of organised
crime the specific activities with which it is associated its
origins and growth nationally, regionally and globally the efforts
by the international community and law enforcement agencies to
contain, regulate and control the risks that it poses. The book
contains a number of detailed case studies illustrating the growth
of organised crime at national, international and transnational
levels, ranging from the mafia, criminal gangs in the UK through to
the new wave of organised crime in Russia and the post-Soviet
states. It will be essential reading for both students and
practitioners in the police and other law enforcement agencies who
have a concern with organised crime worldwide.
This book provides a highly readable introduction to the role and
function of the police and policing, examining the issues and
debates that surround this. It looks at the 'core functions' of the
police, the ways in which police functions have developed, their
key characteristics, and the challenges they face. From the outset
questions are asked about the conceptual contestability and
ambiguity of policing, and different views of police roles are
addressed in turn: policing as social control, crime investigation,
managing risk, policing as community justice, and as a public good.
Genes and Common Diseases presents an up-to-date view of the role
of genetics in modern medicine, reflecting the strengths and
limitations of a genetic perspective. The current shift in emphasis
from the study of rare single gene disorders to common diseases
brings genetics into every aspect of modern medicine, from
infectious diseases to therapeutics. However, it is unclear whether
this increasingly genetic focus will prove useful in the face of
major environmental influences in many common diseases. The book
takes a hard and self-critical look at what can and cannot be
achieved using a genetic approach and what is known about genetic
and environmental mechanisms in a variety of common diseases. It
seeks to clarify the goals of human genetic research by providing
state-of-the art insights into known molecular mechanisms
underlying common disease processes while at the same time
providing a realistic overview of the expected genetic and
physiological complexity.

Film has always played a crucial role in the imagination of
disaster. The earthquake, especially, transforms our understanding
of the limits and possibilities of cinema, as well as of life
itself. After major quakes in countries as dissimilar as Japan,
Chile, Iran and New Zealand, filmmakers have responded with films
that challenge ingrained social, political, ethical and
philosophical categories of thinking and being in the world. Film
on the Faultline explores the fractious relationship between cinema
and seismic experience and addresses the important role that cinema
can play in the wake of such events.

This book throws fresh light on the experiences of Gypsies in
Surrey and South London at the dawn of the modern era. It uses a
wide range of records to paint a detailed picture of people who
left few written records themselves. It shows how external forces
including enclosure, urban expansion, changing economic
circumstances and ever-intrusive legislation, increasingly
challenged their way of life. The parallel struggles of local
communities and institutions to respond effectively and the
development of perceptions and prejudices have a contemporary
resonance that should interest the general reader as well as
academics and local and family historians.

The Memphis Book is a love letter to a city you thought you knew.
It is not a history book about rock and roll, the blues, BBQ, Elvis
and FedEx. It is about much more. It shows us a city that survived
the Yellow Fever (twice), sustains racial discord and hangs in the
balance for new development and industry. With a few missteps along
the way Memphis can still be a great city, but some proactive
measures must be taken that acknowledge our past and present state
with objectivity. We have leadership seemingly not well traveled
(displayed ad infinitum via TV, editorials and more), provincial
and unaware that the world has moved on and we have been passed by
other metropolitan areas that are self sustaining, eco-friendly,
commercially proactive and globally competitive. This book will
highlight what is overlooked and offer remedies to what ails our
city on the bluff. An excerpt: As people move in from other areas
of the US (large portions in Midtown and in the outlying towns of
Bartlett, Collierville and others) ) they bring with them
appetites, expectations, established patterns and traditions that
Memphis has always been slow to accommodate. Memphis has been slow
in change mainly due to demographic restrictions propagated by many
sources (media, politicians, etc) that we are not diverse, nor
heterogeneous and not cosmopolitan. We need forums of commerce,
transportation and education that reflect those of other large
bourgeoning metropolitan areas across the US. It is necessary for
legislation, leadership, private entities and others to get with
the program, coordinate in their own fashion and usher Memphis into
the 21st century.
