Preventing Corruption explores the problems involved in the
contemporary investigation, enforcement and governance of
international corruption, identifying that no one country or
culture has a monopoly on corruption, as it ranges across the
social spectrum and different cultures. This unique international
coverage explores the level of corruption in different public and
private sectors of business for individuals and organizations
around the world and highlights that some individuals and
organizations benefit from corruption regardless of geographical
location. It also examines the limits of current anti-corruption
strategies, laws and conventions and considers the involvement of
western democratic states in corruption, the concept of state
capture and the corrupt use of private military organizations in
conflict zones around the world.This diverse critical analysis of
international corruption includes under-explored areas such as
bribery, whistle blowing and the use of private bodies and will be
a highly valuable tool for scholars and practitioners alike.
This book reveals the extent, types, investigation, enforcement and
governance of international corruption. Providing a unique
international coverage, it reveals the limits of current
anti-corruption strategies and explores the involvement of western
democratic states in corruption.

Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are
the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating
readers with earthbound images and reveling in a fiery re-imagining
of the world. Mostly written on the island paradise of Capri (the
idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning movie Il Postino), Love Poems
embraces the seascapes surrounding the poet and his love Matilde
Urrutia, their waves and shores saturated with a new, yearning
eroticism. And when you appear all the rivers sound in my body,
bells shake the sky, and a hymn fills the world. (c) 1973 by Neruda
& Walsh
Drawing on research into explosive evidence which had been
concealed for 25 years, this book offers a critique of the official
Widgery Inquiry into the massacre of innocent and unarmed civilians
by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday. It exposes the Inquiry as a
gross denial of justice and the rule of law. Expert analysis of the
subordination of law to security policy in Northern Ireland reveals
that the Bloody Sunday experience is an integral part of a
sustained pattern. Belated prospects for a restoration of justice
and the rule of law are found in the Good Friday Peace Agreement
and the unprecedented establishment of a second Tribunal of Inquiry
into Bloody Sunday.

Although seven volumes of his poetry are available in Spanish, the
work of Angel Gonzalez has not been widely translated into English.
This bilingual edition, introduced by the poet, presents selections
from Palabra sobre palabra (Word upon Word), his definitive
collection. Included are poems from Grado elemental (Elementary
Grade), which won the Antonio Machado Prize for Poetry. Born in
Oviedo, Spain in 1925, Angel Gonzalez published his first book in
1956 to immediate acclaim. His poetry is characterized by striking
imagery and deeply personal statement that is often sad and
sardonic. Of his work Gonzalez writes, "'Experience,' 'reality',
and 'preciseness of expression' are probably...the boundaries that
limit the space, on a horizontal plane, in which my poetic
intentions move. Upon this plane, trying to add another dimension,
I attempt to erect my creative and imaginative possibilities...In
some of these poems, written and published in Spain, the result of
a determined desire to bear witness will have to be sought not in
what the words say but in what they imply, in the spaces of shadow,
of silence of anger, or of helplessness that they discover or
uncover." Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
A must-read in today's world of emerging spirituality, Opening To
Life offers a most comprehensive and practical understanding of the
powerful phenomenon and service that is channeling. These clear and

channeling in public events and private consultations. Paul puts to
rest any doubts or misleading superstitions on the subject and
guides you to a rich array of simple powerful ways you can open
your heart, establish your true purpose, and sustain higher
consciousness and fulfilment as you go about your own daily life.
Opening To Life is a vital and practical tool that brings
channeling into its true place as the foundation of our very being
and life.

An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple treatment
of mathematics, and clear guide to applications have made this book
a classic text in electrical and electronic engineering. The
fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical
properties of materials are emphasized; in addition, topics are
selected in order to explain the operation of devices having
applications (or possible future applications) in engineering. The
mathematics, kept deliberately to a minimum, is well within the
grasp of undergraduate students. This is achieved by choosing the
simplest model that can display the essential properties of a
phenomenom, and then examining the difference between the ideal and
the actual behaviour. The whole text is designed as an
undergraduate course. However most individual sections are self
contained and can be used as background reading in graduate
courses, and for interested persons who want to explore advances in
microelectronics, lasers, nanotechnology, and several other topics
that impinge on modern life.

What if the best leadership development program in the world is in
your living room, your kitchen, and the places you volunteer? It
is. What if everyday encounters are as instructive as the latest
Fortune 500 company fad, a top university certificate, or a weekend
retreat with a popular guru? They are. What if, instead of spending
time away from your family, you could develop your leadership by
spending time WITH them? You can. Everyday encounters--rich in
frustration, investment, humor, opportunity and reward--offer a
refining crucible for leadership. Although executive leadership is
the domain of a select few, opportunities to lead at local levels
are virtually endless regardless of title or position in life. With
the heart of a parent and the probing questions of an executive
coach, author Stosh D. Walsh shares 50 stories from everyday life,
and offers practical insights to inspire growth in leaders
everywhere.
