From the bestselling author of The Stolen Child and The Lighthouse Secret comes a gripping new novel about two abandoned sisters, a missing mother and a shocking thirty year old mystery.
On a cold afternoon in December 1995, two young girls are found abandoned on a platform at Pearse Station in Dublin.
Thirty years later, investigative journalist Vega is determined to find out what happened to the so-called 'Nowhere Girls'. Where did their mother go? Why did no one come forward to claim them? And where are they now?
Searching for answers takes her on a journey with twists she never could have imagined. And one that could put everything else she knows at risk; including her new relationship, her career, and her life as she knows it.

Murray-Darling Basin, Australia: Its Future Management is a
much-needed text for water resources managers, water, catchment,
estuarine and coastal scientists, and aquatic ecologists. The book
first provides a summary of the Murray-Darling River system: its
hydrology, water-related ecological assets, land uses (particularly
irrigation), and its rural and regional communities; and management
within the Basin, including catchments and natural resources, water
resources, irrigation, environment, and monitoring and evaluation.
Additionally, the recent major water reforms in the Basin are
discussed, with a focus particularly on the development and
implementation of the Basin Plan. Murray-Darling Basin, Australia:
Its Future Management then provides an analysis of the next set of
policy and institutional reforms (environmental, social, cultural
and economic) needed to ensure the Basin is managed as an
integrated system (including its water resources, catchment and
estuary) capable of adapting to future changes. Six major
challenges facing the Basin are identified and discussed,
particularly within the context of predicted changes to the climate
leading to an increased frequency of drought and a hotter and dryer
future. Finally, a 'road map' or 'blueprint' to achieve more
integrated management of the Basin is provided, together with some
'key lessons' of relevance to others involved in the management of
multijurisdictional river Basins.

This work comprises a collection of the writings of Ruqaiya Hasan,
an influential figure in the systemic functional linguistic
learning school. It discusses the relation between text and context
and the realization of context in language; the 'network', which is
outlined as analytic tool which can be applied at two strata of
language, the lexico-grammatical and the semantic; as well as
aspects of the social structure that are implicated in the way
cultures and subcultures express themselves.
Every channel/meridian and point is named in Chinese with
translation to English. Actions as the expected positive effect of
a point's manipulation are succinct yet clear, along with
indications/symptoms that would suggest treatment to that point,
all covered in 6 laminated pages. A companion to our illustrated
anatomical QuickStudy guide to acupressure/acupuncture points on
the body. Suggested uses: o Students & Teachers a of
acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, massage and TCM
(Traditional Chinese Medicine) o Patients a and potential patients

User-Driven Healthcare and Narrative Medicine: Utilizing
Collaborative Social Networks and Technologies fills this gap by
exploring various individual user driven strategies that move
towards solving multiple clinical system problems in healthcare,
utilizing real life examples. Documenting individual concrete
experiences, reflective observations, abstract conceptualizations
and particular instances of active experimentation, this text is a
valuable resource not only for the healthcare academic community,
but patients interested in social networking to improve their own
healthcare outcomes.
The rapid social, economic and technological changes taking place
in the world today have led to the rise of social and emotional
learning (SEL) as an essential requirement in positive human
development and meaningful education. SEL competencies such as
self-awareness, emotional regulation, problem solving,
collaboration, understanding and empathising with others, embracing
diversity and conflict resolution, are key 21st century
competences. The turbulences taking place in the Mediterranean
region such as civil strife, violence, socio-economic hardship,
forced displacement, human trafficking and child abuse, have
directed academics', policy makers' and practitioners' interest
towards SEL. SEL became an innovative avenue in preventing and
addressing some of the main challenges being faced by countries in
the Mediterranean basin in the healthy development and quality
education of children and young people. Social and Emotional
Learning in the Mediterranean: Cross Cultural Perspectives and
Approaches is the first publication of this kind to explore how the
Mediterranean region is seeking to address the issues and
challenges in the promotion and implementation of SEL. It is an
attempt to raise awareness on the SEL policies, frameworks and
practices taking place in the Mediterranean region, to share and
celebrate good practices, and to critically reflect on the
challenges faced in the effective implementation of SEL in the
region, with recommendations for policy, interventions and
research.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) is one the pioneering experiments in international criminal
justice. It has left a rich legal, institutional, and non-judicial
legacy. This edited collection provides a broad perspective on the
contribution of the tribunal to law, memory, and justice. It
explores some of the accomplishments, challenges, and critiques of
the ICTY, including its less visible legacies. The book analyses
different sites of legacy: the expressive function of the tribunal,
its contribution to the framing of facts, events, and narratives of
the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, and investigative and
experiential legacies. It also explores lesser known aspects of
legal practice (such as defence investigative ethics, judgment
drafting, contempt cases against journalists, interpretation and
translation), outreach, approaches to punishment and sentencing,
the tribunals' impact on domestic legal systems, and ongoing
debates over impact and societal reception. The volume combines
voices from inside the tribunal with external perspectives to
elaborate the rich history of the ICTY, which continues to be
written to this day.
This book offers first-person narratives of teachers' curriculum
encounters. The reflections of teachers are presented using Pinar's
Method of Currere as a tool for undertaking deep analysis of
teachers' curriculum encounters. The Method of Currere allows
teachers to embody curriculum in all its forms, allowing for
reflection on encounters in the formal, informal, hidden curriculum
and beyond. The book aims to provide readers with a broad
understanding of curriculum as the lived experience encapsulating
the educational, personal, and professional life of the teacher. In
this way teachers are able to trace and make sense of the
development of their knowledge and make changes that lead to the
continuous offering of quality education. The book will be of
interest to students, scholars and practitioners involved in
curriculum studies, teacher education/training, teaching, and
general education.
