discover that it is filled with mementoes and belongings from Mia's
own past, including pictures of her abusive former lover Ludwig
(Dougray Scott). So begins a journey into her past in which Mia
finally learns to accept her own mistakes and faults, including her

Compare any two political maps, one from the early twentieth
century and one from the present, and you will notice that the
world now contains more democracies than it used to. How and why
did democracy spread around the world? How do we recognize
democracies when we see them? And what does the future of democracy
look like? This book shows you how to define and measure democracy,
and to identify what democracies have in common. It evaluates
important recent trends in democratization and the challenges that
face it including: - Democratic decay - Populism, authoritarianism
and the far right - Threats posed by global terrorism and sectarian
violence - The rise of 'illiberal democracies' - Declining civic
participation. Analysing economic development, education,
industrialization and other factors, Democratization shows you the
internal political, economic and social conditions that help or
hinder democratization. Looking at globalization, political aid,
military intervention and the 'neighbourhood'-effect, it also
explains how external factors put pressure on democratic reform.
Covering key theories, such as modernization and democratic peace
theory, and with case studies from Indonesia to the Zapatista
movement, this is the ideal text for those studying democratization
for the first time.

Feature-length BBC drama depicting the relationships between former
British prime minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) and American
president Bill Clinton (Dennis Quaid). Set in the pre-9/11 years
from 1994 to 2001, the film focuses on the international presence
of Blair in relation to his American ally. While Clinton is almost
toppled from power by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Blair continues
to strengthen his position, moving seamlessly from being Clinton's
acolyte to his equal, and eventually his moral superior in the
aftermath of Kosovo.
Ethno-religious violence in Indonesia illustrates in detail how and
why previously peaceful religious communities can descend into
violent conflict. From 1999 until 2000, the conflict in North
Maluku, Indonesia, saw the most intense communal violence of
Indonesia's period of democratization. For almost a year, militias
waged a brutal religious war which claimed the lives of almost four
thousand lives. The conflict culminated in ethnic cleansing along
lines of religious identity, with approximately three hundred
thousand people fleeing their homes. Based on detailed research,
this book provides an in depth picture of all aspects of this
devastating and brutal conflict. It also provides numerous examples
of how different conflict theories can be applied in the analysis
of real situations of tensions and violence, illustrating the
mutually reinforcing nature of mass level sentiment and elite
agency, and the rational and emotive influences on those involved.
This book will be of interest to researchers in Asian Studies,
conflict resolution and religious violence.

* Analyzes the alarming European demographic trends: aging
populations; shrinking families; dropping fertility rates; and mass
migration* Presents the potential ramifications for pensions,
health, housing, transport, the family unit, and more in over 100
tables and graphs along with a full discussion* From a team led by
acclaimed demographer Wolfgang Lutz, this is the culmination of
five years of research by the European Observatory on the Social
Situation, Demography and FamilyEurope's future will be built by
its citizens, but who will those citizens be? How numerous, how
healthy, how long-lived? How many children will they have? What
kind of families will they live in, and what are the main
challenges to their social cohesion? These are the questions that
"The New Generations of Europeans" sets out to answer. Edited by
leading demographers at the International Institute for Applied
Systems Analysis, and made up of contributions from respected
researchers in the fields of population and society, it assesses
what it is to be a citizen of a growing EU and what important
issues will have to be faced if Europe as a collective notion is to
survive. Taking in fertility, family, ageing, health, immigration,
and more, and always considering the situation in, and impact of,
the new member states, the book draws on the latest in demographic,
economic, and social research to provide an intriguing coverage of
the state of the people of Europe today and tomorrow. Crucially,
the question of how changes in this state will impact the
socio-economic infrastructure (e.g. medical facilities, transport,
food provision, etc.) is also addressed.
Some of the foremost authorities in earth sciences contributed to
this volume, first published in 1992, to provide a highly
accessible and stimulating account of the rapid evolution of
knowledge about the processes that drive and shape the Earth.
Well-illustrated and extremely readable accounts cover many aspects
of the earth sciences that are often confined to the more esoteric
literature - from magma generation in the Earth to the formation of
sedimentary basins. From contributions on the Earth's interior and
its dynamic evolution to investigations of the natural and
human-driven disturbances to the environment, Understanding the
Earth reflects the increasingly integrated and multi-disciplinary
research that has fed our understanding of the Earth's origin and
its internal and surface processes, and provides an indispensable
guide to students of modern earth sciences.

As old as a roadway that was once a Native trail, as new as the
suburban subdivisions spreading across the American countryside,
the cultural landscape is endlessly changing. The study of cultural
landscapes--a far more recent development--has also undergone great
changes, ever broadening, deepening, and refining our understanding
of the intricate webs of social and ecological spaces that help to
define human groups and their activities. "Everyday America
"surveys the widening conceptions and applications of cultural
landscape writing in the United States and, in doing so, offers a
clear and compelling view of the state of cultural landscape
studies today.
These essays--by distinguished journalists, historians, cultural
geographers, architects, landscape architects, and
planners--constitute a critical evaluation of the field's
theoretical assumptions, and of the work of John Brinckerhoff
Jackson, the pivotal figure in the emergence of cultural landscape
studies. At the same time, they present exemplary studies of
twentieth-century landscapes, from the turn-of-the-century American
downtown to the corporate campus and the mini-mall. Assessing the
field's accomplishments and shortcomings, offering insights into
teaching the subject, and charting new directions for its future
development, "Everyday America" is an eloquent statement of the
meaning, value, and potential of the close study of human
environments as they embody, reflect, and reveal American culture.

their experiences, and the effects upon them. This unique book, on
a ground-breaking approach to managing sex offenders, will be of
great interest to professionals across social care and the criminal
justice system, including prison and probation services, the
police, social workers, counsellors and all those working with sex

This book explores project management (PM) from a musical
perspective. Music is a significant example of a nontraditional
arena where PM is vital, yet it is only beginning to be seen as a
vital tool. Therefore, this book will give an in depth and
preeminent look at the PM processes and knowledge areas that are of
utmost importance in many fields that PM is not used for currently.
Seeking to understand projects in musical ways, synergies between
music and the wider project management profession are many and
varied. Written and developed by international experts in the
project management and music professions, this book represents a
unique and insightful approach to the study of the subject. The
authors take a fresh look at practical models of musical thinking
capable of application at every scale of project management, and in
every possible project management environment. If you want to make
your projects more musical, or simply have an interest exploring
project management in music, this is the book for you!
