This book examines the impact of American perceptions of the
military balance between the United States and the Soviet Union
during the key period of 1976-1985.
That decade witnessed the decline of the US-Soviet detente and
the resurgence of superpower confrontation, often called the
'Second Cold War'. Among the factors contributing to this shift was
the American view of the military balance - whether the United
States had been or was being overtaken by the Soviet Union in terms
of military capability. Since then, the military balance has been
viewed within the overall context of issues impacting superpower
relations during this era. David Walsh examines the full range of
issues - strategic and European-based forces, power-projection
capabilities, and military spending - and their role in shaping
perceptions, not just of the military balance but also in such key
areas of international relations as arms control, trans-Atlantic
diplomacy and Third World conflict. In doing so, he shows how the
perceptions of the 1970s contributed to key policy decisions in the
1980s, which themselves played a significant role in bringing the
Cold War to an end.
The Military Balance in the Cold War will be of interest to
advanced students of Cold War history, strategic studies, US
foreign policy and international relations in general.
The tenth anniversary edition of this national bestseller goes
beyond raging hormones and peer pressure to explain why adolescents
act the way they do and what parents and teachers can do about
it--and it's now thoroughly revised and updated to address the
issues facing kids today: social media, online bullying,
prescription drug abuse, stress, and nutrition.
"Why Do They Act That Way?" was the first book to explain the
scientific, brain-based reasons behind teens' impulsive behavior,
lack of focus, self-consciousness, territoriality, fatigue, and
their quickness to anger and take risks--to name just a few common
teen problems. All these behaviors are linked to physical changes
and growth in the adolescent brain. Ten years ago, there was no
Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. Now every kid has a smartphone
and a Twitter account. Award-winning psychologist Dr. David Walsh
has now updated his 2004 classic with the most current research
into the adolescent brain, and he's also updated his guidance for
parents and teens on navigating the new challenges of the 24/7
online world.
With real-life stories and reassuring guidance, Walsh provides
realistic solutions for dealing with everyday and major challenges.
Sample dialogues help teens and parents talk civilly and
constructively with one another; behavioral contracts and Parental
Survival Kits provide practical advice for dealing with issues like
curfews, disrespectful language and actions, and bullying. As a
parent, psychologist, coach, and trusted expert, Dr. Walsh offers
the best advice to help adolescents thrive and parents survive.
Join the movement to say Yes to No. An unprecedented coalition of
parents and educators across Minnesota have adopted "No" as a
statewide read.
Although saying No to your child is obviously important, many
parents still have a hard time following through -- even when they
know they should -- especially when other parents and the culture
around them are being permissive.
Now, successful psychologist, bestselling author, and nationally
known parenting expert Dr. David Walsh provides you with an arsenal
of tactics, explanations, and examples for using No the right way
with your kids. His memorable, affecting, and sometimes humorous
anecdotes help you regain confidence in your own judgment and
ability to say No as they remind you that you're not alone in your
parenting struggles. With Dr. Walsh's down-to-earth advice, you can
immediately assess and improve your relationship with your kids,
set and enforce limits that make sense for different ages (from
toddlers to teens), and otherwise make No a positive influence on
kids' behavior and in your overall family life.
The first look at the psychological importance of No in a
child's development, "No" offers the lively voice, warm wisdom,
science made simple, and breadth of knowledge that readers have
come to expect from Dr. Walsh.
Techniques in the investigative interviewing and interrogation of
victims, witnesses and suspects of crime vary around the world,
according to a country's individual legal system, religion and
culture. Whereas some countries have developed certain interview
protocols for witnesses (such as the ABE Guidelines and the NICHD
protocol when interviewing children) and the PEACE model of
interviewing suspects, other countries continue to use physical
coercion and other questionable tactics to elicit information.
Until now, there has been very little empirical information about
the overall interview and interrogation practices in non-western
countries, especially the Middle and Far East. This book addresses
this gap, bringing together international experts from over 25
countries and providing in-depth coverage of the various interview
and interrogation techniques used across the globe. Volume 2
focuses on the interviewing of crime suspects, aiming to provide
the necessary information for an understanding of how law
enforcement agencies around the world gain valuable information
from suspects in criminal cases. Together, the chapters that make
up this volume and the accompanying volume on interviewing
witnesses and victims, draw on specific national case studies and
practices, examine contemporary challenges and identify best
practice to enable readers to develop an international, as well as
a comparative, perspective of developments worldwide in this
important area of criminal investigation. This book will be an
essential resource for academics and students engaged in the study
of policing, criminal investigation, forensic psychology and
criminal law. It will also be of great interest to practitioners,
legal professionals and policymakers around the world.

THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS BOOK OF THE CENTURY SHORTLISTED
FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR MADE INTO THE FILM,
THE PROGRAM, STARRING BEN FOSTER AND CHRIS O'DOWD AS THE AUTHOR The
true story of the greatest deception of our time. From
award-winning journalist David Walsh, the definitive account of the
author's twelve-year quest to uncover and make known the truth
about Lance Armstrong's long history of performance-enhancing drug
use, which ultimately led to the cyclist's being stripped of his
seven Tour de France titles. When Lance Armstrong fought back from
life-threatening cancer to win the 1999 Tour de France - the
so-called 'Tour of Renewal' - it seemed almost too good to be true.
It was. Sunday Times journalist David Walsh was one of a small
group who was prepared to raise awkward questions about Armstrong's
seemingly superhuman feats. And so began a long battle to reveal
the truth that finally ended in October 2012 when the cyclist was
banned from the sport for life. Walsh's gripping and moving
personal account of his struggles is a revealing insight into the
murkier end of professional cycling - a place where having the
right doctor can make all the difference and where there existed a
conspiracy of silence. As he shows, it never was about the bike.
However, spurred on by a few brave people who were prepared to
speak out in the hope of saving the sport they loved, Walsh
continued to probe, and eventually he was vindicated when
Armstrong's reputation was ruined. In this updated edition,
covering Armstrong's confession to Oprah, Seven Deadly Sins takes
the reader into a world of doping and lies, but shows that there is
always hope for a better future.
Completely revised, this is the second edition of the sea kayaking
guidebook - Oileain, The Irish Islands. The guide describes 270
more islands than the previous edition, has a wealth of new photos,
a new design and improved presentation of the tidal information.
Dave Walsh describes over 570 islands. The essential information
for kayakers or anyone in a small boat is here: landings, camping,
drinking water and tidal information. Any wildlife to be found is
detailed and on the islands that are or have been inhabited there
is a wealth of information on their history and archaeology. The
stories are fascinating and often told with a wry humour which
makes them very readable. The book is illustrated throughout with
colour photographs and maps. The writing and photographs capture
the very essence of the wild places described.
The inside story of Team Sky's challenge for the 2013 Tour de
France. After the victory of Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky in the
2012 Tour de France, the pressure was on the team to repeat their
success in 2013. When Wiggins had to pull out of the defence of his
yellow jersey, attention moved to Chris Froome, who had finished as
runner-up the year before. Could he bring about back-to-back
victories for the UK and for Team Sky? With team principal Sir Dave
Brailsford at the helm, the levels of expectation were high.
Nothing less than a win would do. Embedded within the team was top
sportswriter David Walsh, who had been covering the sport for four
decades. The Sunday Times writer had done more than any other
journalist to reveal the lies of Lance Armstrong, he has the
reputation for exposing the dark secrets that cycling would want to
keep hidden. His inside story, from how Team Sky prepared for the
Tour de France through to Froome's emphatic victory, is supported
by insights from all the key members of the team, and provides a
definitive account of a dramatic race that gripped cycling fans
around the world.
LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 2020
'Reads like a thriller, or even a spy novel...Walsh keeps you
gripped' Rosamund Urwin, Sunday Times 'A turbulent but ultimately
inspiring tale. The candour...is rare and gripping' Matt Dickinson,
The Times It was the story that shocked the world: Russian
athletics was revealed to be corrupt from top to bottom, with
institutionalised doping used to help the nation's athletes win
medals they did not deserve. But the full story of the couple who
blew the whistle has never been told - until now. When Russian
anti-doping official Vitaly Stepanov met the young 800m athlete
Yuliya Rusanova, for him it was love at first sight. Within two
months, they were married. But there was a problem - in fact, there
were lots of problems. She admitted she was doping and that
everyone else was doping, and she let him know that she came from a
dark place ... It could all have brought a very swift end to a very
hasty marriage, but gradually the Stepanovs began to realise that
whatever you did, the system in Russia was stacked against you. In
the end, the only ones they could rely upon were each other. Fully
aware of the risks they were taking, they decided to turn the
tables on those who had manipulated them and cheated the sporting
world. The result of their investigative work sent shockwaves
around the planet and led to Russia's athletes being banned from
world sport, while the Stepanovs themselves had to go into hiding.
The Russian Affair is a gripping true-life drama that at times
reads like a spy novel and at others like an epic love story. But,
at the centre of it all, is a quietly determined couple who knew
that if they stood together they could shine a light on a corrupt
system and bring it crashing to the ground.

Packed with cutting-edge cases and hands-on applications,
EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICE, 5TH EDITION explains
the major issues and rules of employment law and how they apply to
your human resource career. The text addresses human resource
practices associated with each stage of the employment
process--from hiring, to managing, to firing. Clippings of current
news stories, hypothetical situations, and real cases help you
understand how legal concepts apply to business situations, while
practical advice for what to do as a manager is summarized at the
end of each chapter. Covering the most important employment law
topics, the text is completely up to date with the latest
legislation, new regulations, and recent case law. It includes
extended coverage of the rights of vulnerable employees under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, racial discrimination, the use of
background checks, the Family Medical Leave Act, and more.
Following their ground-breaking book on Public Schools and the
Great War, David Walsh and Anthony Seldon now examine how those
same schools fared in the Second World War. They use eye-witness
testimony to recount stories of resilience and improvisation in
1940 as the likelihood of invasion and the terrors of the Blitz
threatened the very survival of public schools, and they assess the
giant impact that public school alumni contributed to every aspect
of the war effort. The authors examine how the ‘People’s War’
brought social cohesion, with the opportunity to end public school
exclusiveness to the fore, encouraged by Winston Churchill among
others. That opportunity was ironically squandered by the otherwise
radical Clement Attlee’s post-war Labour government, prolonging
the ‘public school problem’ right through to the present day.
The public schools shaped twentieth century history profoundly,
never more so than in the conduct of both its world wars. The
impact of the schools on both wars was very different, as were the
legacies. This book is full of profound historical reflection and
is essential reading for all who want to understand the history of
modern Britain. This fascinating book draws widely on primary
source material and personal accounts of inspiring courage and
endurance.
* The new edition will be fully revised and updated by Simon Rainey
QC, Guy Blackwood and David Walsh, all marine insurance
practitioners at Quadrant Chambers and is an essential guide to the
provisions of the Act * The new edition remains faithful to
Chalmers' objectives when writing his 1901 Digest of The Law of
Marine * Most if not all of Sir Mackenzie Chalmers' footnotes and
annotations are preserved so that readers are able to see what he
intended to achieve/codify in the Act, providing a full historical
archive * Important cases since the 10th edition are included What
makes the book unique is the fact that it is far more than a piece
of annotated legislation in that it includes case law with analysis
and puts the decisions made in the individual cases into the
context of Act. There is no other book or electronic service that
does this. As marine insurance is encompassed by the Marine
Insurance Act 1906 this book provides the user with an unrivalled
guide to, and understanding of how the Act has evolved and how it
is implemented in practice. It is a desk top, every day reference
tool for anyone involved in any of the aspects of marine insurance.
Important cases since the 10th edition such as The Cendor MOPU
2011] 1 Lloyd's Rep. 560, The Bunga Melati Dua 2011] 1 Lloyd's Rep.
338, The WD Fairway 2009] 2 Lloyd's Rep. 191, 2009] 2 Lloyd's Rep.
420 and The Jordan II 2005] 1 Lloyd's Rep. 57 will be covered in
the discussion on the relevant sections of the Act. These are just
some of the more recent cases, but there has been a plethora of
case law since the last edition published in 1993 which is covered
such as The Resolute 2008] EWCA Civ 1314 and The Marina Iris 2005]
SGHC 238. About the authors: All the authors are from Quadrant
Chambers. Quadrant Chambers holds a pre-eminent international
position in all aspects of the shipping sector and is viewed as one
of the leading shipping sets internationally. Simon Rainey, QC has
been cited for many years as a Leading Silk in the areas of
Shipping by Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. Guy Blackwood is
listed as a leading junior by Chambers & Partners in the
category of insurance & reinsurance. David Walsh is a junior
and began his career at the Bar acting for the London insurance
market in the complex and extensive marine insurance litigation
arising from the constructive total loss of the "WD FAIRWAY," the
largest navigational CTL ever experienced by the London market.
In The Priority of the Person, world-class philosopher David Walsh
advances the argument set forth in his highly original philosophic
meditation Politics of the Person as the Politics of Being (2015),
that "person" is the central category of modern political thought
and philosophy. The present volume is divided into three main
parts. It begins with the political discovery of the
inexhaustibility of persons, explores the philosophic
differentiation of the idea of the "person," and finally traces the
historical emergence of the concept through art, science, and
faith. Walsh argues that, although the roots of the idea of
"person" are found in the Greek concept of the mind and in the
Christian conception of the soul, this notion is ultimately a
distinctly modern achievement, because it is only the modern turn
toward interiority that illuminated the unique nature of persons as
each being a world unto him- or herself. As Walsh shows, it is
precisely this feature of persons that makes it possible for us to
know and communicate with others, for we can only give and receive
one another as persons. In this way alone can we become friends
and, in friendship, build community. By showing how the person is
modernity's central preoccupation, David Walsh's The Priority of
the Person makes an important contribution to current discussions
in both political theory and philosophy. It will also appeal to
students and scholars of theology and literature, and any groups
interested in the person and personalism.
