Book one in a new fantasy series of super rich magical dynasties and warring heirs - from the author of the million-copy-selling Alex Verus series. For readers of contemporary fantasy who enjoy the methods and magicians of dark academia . . .
Anyone can use magic - if they can afford the price . . .
In a world where everything magical is bought up and controlled by the super rich - Stephen Oakwood has inherited a natural talent for magic. Plunged by his father's disappearance into a glittering world of scheming dynasties, warring patriarchs and vicious scions, Stephen must navigate magical high society and learn to control his gifts.
Dangerous enemies await the Oakwood heir, and even more dangerous allies: if Stephen cannot master his magic quickly and learn to distinguish friend from foe, his name may end up on the missing persons list, just like his father.
Fifty years after the Stockholm Conference first placed the
environment on the international development agenda, this Handbook
continues the debate. The Handbook discusses both the profound
environmental and theoretical critique against development as
modernization and economic growth, and how perspectives on nature
have changed from an infinite resource to a fragile subject.
Weighing up the successes and failures linked to environmental
concerns in development and environment policy and practice, it
recognizes the roots of international development as a Western
project linked to the expansion of an environmentally destructive
capitalism. Through active dialogue across geographical areas,
disciplines and epistemologies, chapters critically assess current
perspectives on the topic, including decolonialism, degrowth and
post-development. Grounded in recent research on topics such as
agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure, forest protection, supply
chain management, climate negotiations and the renewable
transition, the Handbook integrates a range of different viewpoints
on international development and the environment to provide a fresh
take on this contentious relationship. With an international scope,
this expansive Handbook will be integral reading for students and
scholars of development and the environment. It will also be a
beneficial read for practitioners working in international
organizations and development agencies.
The second of three epic instalments in director Peter Jackson's
blockbuster prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Set in
Middle-Earth 60 years before events in 'The Lord of the Rings', the
story follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin

McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company
of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help
reclaim the lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches
of Smaug the dragon (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch). In this film,
while Gandalf heads south on his own, Bilbo, Thorin and the Dwarves
enter the treacherous Mirkwood Forest on their way to the mountain.
When they reach Lake-town Bilbo will have to perform the role he
was assigned at the start of the quest - to find a secret door that
will lead him to the lair of the dragon...

Intelligence in Education, researchers and advanced students of
education technology, innovation policy, and university management
will benefit from this thought-provoking Handbook. Chapters will
also be useful to support undergraduate courses in AI, computer
