Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Doom's Day is a multi-platform Doctor Who story to celebrate Doctor
Who’s 60th anniversary by introducing a brand-new character on a
24-hour pursuit of the Doctor. As Doom's final hours come into
sharp focus, she'll need to do whatever's necessary to complete her
missions, find the Doctor, and escape what increasingly seems like
the inevitable. But how best to find the person who can save Doom's
life? Will the Doctor's friends be her salvation? Or perhaps the
Doctor's enemies will be the route to survival? Doom is about to
travel across thousands of years of time, and lightyears of space
in search of her last, best hope. But even if she finds the Doctor,
will a person who is all about saving lives help a person whose
only job is to take them? Doom's day is almost over. Time is
running out. This could be the end. Contains four new adventures:
Dawn of an Everlasting Peace by Jacqueline Rayner. Venus, 3975. The
day of the non-aggression pact. The perfect ironic location for an
assassination! But Doom’s mission is about to become much more
complicated thanks to an explosive plot to undermine the treaty
itself. The Howling Wolves of Xan-Phear by Simon Clark. A warring
world of wolves. Doom’s target turns out to be the puppeteer of
the warring Xan: a Silent. But what if she’s already completed
her mission? How will she know? What if this wasn’t even her
mission in the first place? No time to waste. The countdown is on.
A Date with Destiny by Robert Valentine. A romantic dinner turns
life-threatening for an unsuspecting human in 2007. But this time,
Doom has competition. And if she loses, then her last chance to
find the Doctor could be snatched away. Cue an action-packed chase
through the streets of London. But has Doom met her match? The
Crowd by Lizzie Hopley. “Follow the crowd”, that’s what they
say, right? In this case, however, devastation, murder and
destruction follow this particular Crowd - Doom’s next target.
But amongst them - an unfamiliar face, with a familiar name. Could
this be Doom’s salvation?
Where do most stars (and the planetary systems that surround them)
in the Milky Way form? What determines whether a young star cluster
remains bound (such as an open or globular cluster), or disperses
to join the field stars in the disc of the Galaxy? These questions
not only impact understanding of the origins of stars and planetary
systems like our own (and the potential for life to emerge that
they represent), but also galaxy formation and evolution, and
ultimately the story of star formation over cosmic time in the
Universe. This volume will help readers understand our current
views concerning the answers to these questions as well as frame
new questions that will be answered by the European Space Agency's
Gaia satellite that was launched in late 2013. The book contains
the elaborated notes of lectures given at the 42nd Saas-Fee
Advanced Course "Dynamics of Young Star Clusters &
Associations" by Cathie Clarke (University of Cambridge) who
presents the theory of star formation and dynamical evolution of
stellar systems, Robert Mathieu (University of Wisconsin) who
discusses the kinematics of star clusters and associations, and I.
Neill Reid (S pace Telescope Science Institute) who provides an
overview of the stellar populations in the Milky Way and speculates
on from whence came the Sun. As part of the Saas-Fee Advanced
Course Series, the book offers an in-depth introduction to the
field serving as a starting point for Ph.D. research and as a
reference work for professional astrophysicists.
This is a significant contribution to the worldwide discussion of
political self-determination as a source of socio-cultural and
political hope, conflict and confusion. Inspired by Martin Ennals,
long the quietly visionary Director-General of Amnesty
International, the book consists of cases and penetratingly
definitive analyses, culminating in trenchant recommendations for
action by world bodies. With self-determination intensely at issue
so widely, from the former Yugoslavia to Kashmir to Quebec, this
distinguished book by a global group of experts is particularly
timely.
Since the publication of his mammoth work, Being and Time,
Martin Heidegger has remained one of the most influential figures
in contemporary thought, and is a key influence for modern literary
and cultural theory.
This guidebook provides an ideal entry-point for readers new to
Heidegger, outlining such issues and concepts as:
- the limits of 'theory'
- the history of being
- the origin of the work of art
- language
- the literary work
- poetry and the political
- Heidegger's involvement with Nazism.
Fully updated throughout and featuring a new section on
enviromental thought and ecocriticism, this guidebook clearly and
concisely introduces Heidegger's crucial work relating to art,
language and poetry, and outlines his continuing influence on
critical theory.
This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates
Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book
examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the
academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the
'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies,
religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing
a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion
during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and
cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion'
emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of
well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and
teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone
interested in the history of religious self-expression, these
chapters offer a rich and rewarding read. -- .

Essays explore how interpretations affect casuistry, and cover
issues related to abortion, reproductive technologies, euthanasia,
sexuality, race, gender, social justice, the environment, civil
disobedience, capital punishment, and war.
Africa's Second Wave of Freedom represents the work of scholars who
share a concern with the development of civil society in Africa.
The first third of the book deals theoretically with the issues of
democracy and stability in Africa. In particular, the contributors
analyze the inadequacy of the United States' response to African
problems (such as environmental decay, spiraling debt, and health
epidemics) that do not respect national boundaries; the fragility
of democracy in Africa and the danger of reversion to
dictatorships; and the barriers to constitutional democracy in
sub-Saharan Africa. The remainder of the book consists of case
studies of various aspects of civil society from Mozambique,
Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
