In these vibrant narratives, 25 of the world’s most accomplished movement lawyers and activists become storytellers, reflecting on their experiences at the frontlines of some of the most significant struggles of our time. In an era where human rights are under threat, their words offer both an inspiration and a compass for the way movements can use the law – and must sometimes break it – to bring about social justice.
The contributors here take you into their worlds: Jennifer Robinson frantically orchestrating a protest outside London’s Ecuadorean embassy to prevent the authorities from arresting her client Julian Assange; Justin Hansford at the barricades during the protests over the murder of Black teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Ghida Frangieh in Lebanon’s detention centres trying to access arrested protestors during the 2019 revolution; Pavel Chikov defending Pussy Riot and other abused prisoners in Russia; Ayisha Siddiqa, a shy Pakistani immigrant, discovering community in her new home while leading the 2019 youth climate strike in Manhattan; Greenpeace activist Kumi Naidoo on a rubber dinghy in stormy Arctic seas contemplating his mortality as he races to occupy an oil rig.
The stories in The Revolution Will Not Be Litigated capture the complex, and often-awkward dance between legal reform and social change. They are more than compelling portraits of fascinating lives and work, they are revelatory: of generational transitions; of epochal change and apocalyptic anxiety; of the ethical dilemmas that define our age; and of how one can make a positive impact when the odds are stacked against you in a harsh world of climate crisis and ruthless globalization.
Slightly scandalous. Totally fabulous.
The highly anticipated sequel follows our four best friends as they take their book club to Italy for the fun girls trip they never had.
When things go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure.

This book provides an up-to-date description of the methods needed
to face the existence of solutions to some nonlinear boundary value
problems. All important and interesting aspects of the theory of
periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations related to
the physical and mathematical question of resonance are treated.
The author has chosen as a model example the periodic problem for a
second order scalar differential equation. In a paedagogical style
the author takes the reader step by step from the basics to the
most advanced existence results in the field.

This text should appeal to all researchers who have an interest in
Leonid showers. It contains over 40 research papers that present
some of the first observational results of the November 1999 Leonid
meteor storm, the first storm observed by modern observing
techniques. The book is a glimpse of the large amount of
information obtained during NASA's Leonid Multi-Instrument Aircraft
Campaign and groundbased campaigns throughout the world. It
provides an overview on the state of meteor shower research for any
professional researcher or amateur meteor observer interested in
studies of meteors and meteoroids and their relation to comets, the
origin of life on Earth, the satellite impact hazard issue, and
upper atmosphere studies of neutral atom chemistry, the formation
of meteoric debris, persistent trains, airglow, noctilucent clouds,
sprites and elves.

monsters that took her family. Ester’s path leads her to join the
King’s Royal Mews, where the giant rocs of legend are flown to
hunt manticores by their brave and dedicated ruhkers. Paired with a
fledgling roc named Zahra, Ester finds purpose and acclaim by
devoting herself to a calling that demands absolute sacrifice and a
creature that will never return her love. The terrifying
partnership between woman and roc leads Ester not only on the

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud
for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that
endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they
alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders,
war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal
kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's
most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge
they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all
sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous
alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest
office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes
to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of
Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic
trilogy about family, honour and those who live and die by the
ancient laws of blood and jade.
Discover an epic trilogy about family, honour, and those who live
and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade. ***Winner of the

This textbook presents all the basics for the first two years of a
course in mathematical analysis, from the natural numbers to
Stokes-Cartan Theorem. The main novelty which distinguishes this
book is the choice of introducing the Kurzweil-Henstock integral
from the very beginning. Although this approach requires a small
additional effort by the student, it will be compensated by a
substantial advantage in the development of the
theory, and later on when learning about more advanced
topics. The text guides the reader with clarity in the discovery of
the many different subjects, providing all necessary tools – no
preliminaries are needed. Both students and their instructors will
benefit from this book and its novel approach, turning their course
in mathematical analysis into a gratifying and successful
experience.

Clinical Neuroanatomy offers an extensive review of higher
cortical behavioral functions and their anatomical substrates. The
book begins with a review of the basic internal and external
morphology, major nerve and fiber tracts, behavioral correlates,
and clinical syndromes associated with spinal cord, brain stem, and
cerebellum, reacquainting readers with the functional anatomy of
the subtentorial central nervous system. The central chapters offer
more detailed, integrated, and, at times, theoretical models of
cortical systems and their internal organization. Additional
chapters highlight vascular anatomy and neurochemical systems.
Nearly 300 illustrations help identify key structures and pathways,
as well as providing clinical and pathological examples.
Ultrasonography is a crucial tool in successful assisted
reproduction but requires a steady hand and can often be difficult
for unconfident clinicians. A comprehensive ultrasound imaging
reference, this is an essential guide for trainee clinicians,
ultrasonographers, and nurses working in the field of assisted
reproductive technology. Providing the reader with an overview of
the process and a foundation to direct their ultrasound assessment
of each patient, it contains highly practical tips and tricks for
obtaining the best images. Heavily illustrated with example images,
the role of ultrasound in fertility treatment is explained, as well
as how to identify the uterus and ovaries, measure the endometrium,
count follicles and recognize pathology. The role of ultrasound in
assisted reproduction is covered, including transvaginal oocyte
collection, embryo transfer, early pregnancy, miscarriage and
ectopic pregnancy. This is an indispensable reference for
clinicians new to ultrasound in assisted reproduction.
This handbook is the third volume in a series of volumes devoted to
self contained and up-to-date surveys in the tehory of ordinary
differential equations, written by leading researchers in the area.
All contributors have made an additional effort to achieve
readability for mathematicians and scientists from other related
fields so that the chapters have been made accessible to a wide
audience.
These ideas faithfully reflect the spirit of this multi-volume and
hopefully it becomes a very useful tool for reseach, learing and
teaching. This volumes consists of seven chapters covering a
variety of problems in ordinary differential equations. Both pure
mathematical research and real word applications are reflected by
the contributions to this volume.
- Covers a variety of problems in ordinary differential
equations
- Pure mathematical and real world applications
- Written for mathematicians and scientists of many related fields
