Rookie cop Billy Costigan grew up in crime. That makes him the perfect mole, the man on the inside of the mob run by boss Frank Costello. It's his job to win Costello's trust and help his detective handlers bring Costello down. Meanwhile, detective Colin Sullivan has everyone's trust. No one suspects he's Costello's mole within the police department.
How these covert lives cross and collide is at the ferocious core of the Academy Award-winning The Departed. Martin Scorsese directs, guiding a cast for the ages in a visceral tale of crime and consequences. This is searing, can't-look-away filmmaking: like looking into the eyes of a con - or a cop - with a gun.

Software engineering is playing an increasingly significant role in computing and informatics, necessitated by the complexities inherent in large-scale software development. To deal with these difficulties, the conventional life-cycle approaches to software engineering are now giving way to the "process system" approach, encompassing development methods, infrastructure, organization, and management. Until now, however, no book fully addressed process-based software engineering or set forth a fundamental theory and framework of software engineering processes. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications does just that. Within a unified framework, this book presents a comparative analysis of current process models and formally describes their algorithms. It systematically enables comparison between current models, avoidance of ambiguity in application, and simplification of manipulation for practitioners. The authors address a broad range of topics within process-based software engineering and the fundamental theories and philosophies behind them. They develop a software engineering process reference model (SEPRM) to show how to solve the problems of different process domains, orientations, structures, taxonomies, and methods. They derive a set of process benchmarks-based on a series of international surveys-that support validation of the SEPRM model. Based on their SEPRM model and the unified process theory, they demonstrate that current process models can be integrated and their assessment results can be transformed between each other. Software development is no longer just a black art or laboratory activity. It is an industrialized process that requires the skills not just of programmers, but of organization and project managers and quality assurance specialists. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications is the key to understanding, using, and improving upon effective engineering procedures for software development.

Beloved theologian and bishop Graham Kings has been writing poetry
for thirty-five years, with many of his poems used in retreats and
preaching throughout the Anglican Communion. This collection brings
together Graham's poems on a range of devotional subjects, looking
on the world with the eyes of faith and observing the sacred in the
ordinary. With this perspective, all things are capable of pointing
beyond themselves to the truth and beauty of God. Graham's poetry
celebrates the people, places, art, past and present, the practice
of prayer, the stories that shape our lives, the rhythms of the
spiritual year that have been for him doorways to the divine.
In the year 2000, Stephen Graham King was diagnosed with a rare,
aggressive cancer known as synovial sarcoma, beginning a four-year
ordeal of radiation, chemotherapy, physiotherapy, and multiple
recurrences. After having trouble with his left knee for much of
his adult life, King finally saw a doctor following a bump to the
leg that almost made him pass out from the excruciating pain. After
the diagnosis, he endured five major, invasive surgeries that cost
him a large portion of his left leg and half of his left lung,
radically changing his body, mind, and self-image forever. And in
the end, forcing him to relearn many things: some as basic as
re-learning how to walk. As a gay man who is part of an
image-conscious subculture within our image-driven society, he was
forced to confront his feelings about his body on the long road
back to health. Now, in Just Breathe, King shares his journey from
health to illness and back to health again through prose and
journal entries written during the battle. Told with candour and
humour, this is the story of his challenging recovery and the love
of life, friends, and family that helped him to survive.
The theological treasures gathered here show the intriguing
coherence of an unfolding vision. Earthed in the ministry of a
priest, missionary, academic theologian, and well-travelled bishop,
the five settings provide 16 chapters written over 34 years in
Kenya, Cambridge, Islington, Sherborne and Lambeth. Art, poetry and
archives mingle with theology, history and spirituality. Memorable
scenes include a Kenyan liturgy on the environment and Bishop
Gitari's preaching, the drama of worship on the streets of London,
a Deuteronomic prequel to the Prodigal Son, flashes from the lives
of Henry Martyn and Stephen Harding, the birth of South Sudan and
the historic dialogue of John Stott and Basil Meeking.
