New from Bradt, Greenland is the first standalone travel guidebook
to the country from a mainstream publisher. Targeted at independent
travellers, but equally serving those visiting on organised tours
or cruises, this guide combines essential information - such as
getting around on an island lacking roads connecting the major
settlements - with advice on what to see and do, and where to stay
and eat. Every chapter is infused with Greenland's remarkable
combination of pristine nature and traditional culture, which sets
it apart from Arctic neighbours - and which makes a trip so
rewarding. The world's twelfth-largest country, but also part of
the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland sits near the top of the world, a
vast expanse of white in a planet full of green, blue and brown.
Today's visitors relish opportunities for close encounters with
immense icebergs and glaciers. The epic scenery provides the
backdrop to the numerous activities on offer - from visiting the
world's second-largest ice sheet or taking to the sea in search of
fifteen species of whale, and from hiking the 160-km-long Arctic
Circle Trail to seeking out polar bears, musk oxen and walruses.
Greenland in winter is another world, the endless night brightened
by the mesmerising northern lights. It remains a snowy paradise
until spring - the best time to travel by dog sled or snowmobile
across the frozen tundra. To relax afterwards, why not close your
trip with a few days of nature-inspired art, eclectic culture and
fine dining in the diminutive capital, Nuuk? Greenland has always
been a destination for pioneering explorers, be they the Inuit who
arrived from the west, the Norsemen who came from the east or
mariners seeking the Northwest Passage. Part of the attraction for
today's visitors is to experience an element of the challenges they
faced. Although travel within Greenland can be tricky given limited
infrastructure and often adverse weather conditions, it can also be
a remarkably easy place in which to travel, with the right
planning, a flexible attitude and the right advice - which is
precisely where Bradt's Greenland comes in. Let it be your guide to
a truly staggering country.
This accessible Handbook provides an essential entry point for
those with an interest in the increasingly complex subject of
financial decision-making. It sheds light on new paradigms in
society and the ways that new tools from private actors have
affected financial decision-making. Covering a broad range of key
topics in the area, leading researchers summarise the state of the
art in their respective areas of expertise, delineating their
projections for the future. Chapters cover both more traditional
fields, such as regulation and the role of analysts, and emerging
fields, such as artificial intelligence, neurofinance and
robo-advising. Organised into three sections, the Handbook first
deals with the natural and environmental factors that impact
financial decision-making, before moving on to examine the
institutions, frameworks, and tools created for the purpose of
aiding the decision-making process. It concludes by looking at
financial advisors, household finance and enabling financial
decision-making. This Handbook will be of great value to scholars
and researchers invested in the fields of finance, economic
psychology, business management and development. Its comprehensive
introduction to current research in accounting and finance
alongside multiple topics on technology and decision-making will be
invaluable for practitioners, policy makers and regulators too.

Post-apocalyptic thriller starring Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers
and Bill Paxton. An attempt to compensate for the Earth being
affected by global warming results in a technological hiccup which
turns the planet's surface into one great snowy expanse. The few
remaining survivors, who are now holed up in underground bunkers
trying to find a solution to the meteorological disaster, are
confronted with difficult living conditions and the ever present
threat of extinction. Colony 7, which is led by the benevolent and
world-weary Briggs (Fishburne), receives a distress call from the
nearby Colony 5 and Briggs recruits a team to traverse the frozen
landscape and help their fellow survivors. However, when they
arrive, they realise that the distress call is part of a much
bigger problem when they find that Colony 5 is under attack from a
group of crazed cannibals who have turned against their kin in the
hope of surviving the seemingly perpetual winter...
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

This dark romantic comedy is the debut feature for director Yann
Samuell. The film follows the intimate but twisted relationship
between two would-be lovers, Julien (Guillaume Canet) and Sophie
(Marion Cotillard), who first meet as eight-year-olds in
inauspicious circumstances: Julien's mother is dying, while Sophie
is suffering ferocious bullying at school. When Julien plays a
practical joke on the children who are picking on Sophie, a close
friendship evolves between the two, which is based on an ongoing
game of dares and forfeits. As they grow older, the game
increasingly becomes a power struggle as they use it to torment and
embarrass each other - but could it really be an elaborate cover
for the deep affection they hold for one another?
"Long ago, when giants lived in Scotland and Ireland, they stood so
tall they could see clearly across the wide water between the two
lands." One day, Irish giant Finn McCool spots Scottish giant
Benandonner across the sea and they immediately begin arguing about
who is the best giant of all. Despite the wise advice of Finn's
wife Oona, they decide the only way to settle their feud is to
fight. But to meet, the daft and boastful giants must first build a
causeway across the water... Inspired by Celtic folklore,
best-selling Scottish children's author and storyteller Lari Don
weaves a tall tale of rivalry and foolishness that recounts the
origins of Northern Ireland's world-famous Giant's Causeway and its
connection to Scotland's Isle of Staffa. Emilie Gill's
light-hearted, characterful illustrations of the legendary giants
will captivate young children.

In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on
neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This
is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times
more common in the population. As in all fields of medicine,
nonneoplastic endocrine diseases can closely mimic the neoplastic;
an awareness of all aspects of pathology underpins routine clinical
practice. This Fifth Series Fascicle offers pathologists and
clinicians an opportunity to develop an increased understanding of
nontumor endocrine pathology in order to inform patient care.

Gertie is a prime example of a goose who thinks she knows best but
soon realises the consequences of her actions. However, by this
point, it is too late and she has to use her initiative to get
herself out of a sticky situation. For ages 3-8 years old. This
sweet, entertaining story with beautiful hand drawn illustrations,

do something, it's usually for good reason! This book helps promote
the idea of the wisdom of elders, whilst growing independence and
confidence in one's own abilities, in a bedtime story that everyone
can enjoy.
