Colin Firth and Orlando Bloom star in this American small town
drama directed by John Doyle. Firth stars as American businessman
Gus Leroy, who approaches the residents of Durham, North Carolina,
with proposals that he claims will help the community regain its
former glory as a centre for industry. How will the close-knit
community react to his seemingly optimistic proposals?
This new handbook provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary
overview of the theoretical and empirical aspects of state
recognition in international politics. Although the recognition of
states plays a central role in shaping global politics, it remains
an under-researched and widely dispersed subject. Coherently and
innovatively structured, the handbook brings together a group of
international scholars who examine the most important theoretical
and comparative perspectives on state recognition, including
debates about pathways to secession and self-determination, the
broad range of actors and strategies that shape the recognition of
states and a significant number of contemporary case studies. The
handbook is organised into four key sections: Theoretical and
normative perspectives Pathways to independent statehood Actors,
forms and the process of state recognition Case studies of
contemporary state recognition This handbook will be of great
interest to students of foreign policy, international relations,
international law, comparative politics and area studies. Chapter

Who is Rampaging Roy Slaven? An Australian icon, a raconteur, an
athlete of unsurpassable - and some may say improbable - sporting
feats. Whether training Rooting King to another Melbourne Cup
victory, commentating the Olympics or hobnobbing with the country's
upper crust, Rampaging Roy Slaven has lived an extraordinary life.
But even some of the greatest men come from humble beginnings.
Before he shot to fame as Australia's most talented sportsman, he
was just another kid in Lithgow, trying to avoid Brother Connor's
strap and garner the attention of Susan Morgan from the local
Catholic girls school. Blessed follows one year in the life of the
boy who would become Rampaging Roy Slaven, a boy who, even at the
age of fifteen, knew he was destined for greatness - but had to get
through high school first. 'beautifully surprising' The Guardian
'Doyle shows that his use of language is almost as skillful as that
of Slaven's ability on any sporting field' Canberra Times

But even some of the greatest men come from humble beginnings.
Before he shot to fame as Australia's most talented sportsman, he
was just another kid in Lithgow, trying to avoid Brother Connell's
strap and garner the attention of Susan Morgan from the local

This book is the result of several years of enthusiastic planning
and effort. Much of this enthusiasm came from the experience of
devel{)ping Critical Care Consultant, a large BASIC program for
critical care applications (St. Louis, C. V. Mosby, 1985). Working
with clinicians showed me that many were interested in learning
about clinical applications of computers (and even programming in
small doses) but were faced with a paucity of clinical application
software. Few had the time or training to develop any such software
on their own. After a search through the existing medical
literature unearthed relatively little in the way of usable
programs, I decided that a series of small clinical applications
programs would be of use to the medical community. At the onset a
number of strategic decisions were made: (1) the programs would be
written in BASIC, in view of its universal popularity, (2) the
units used for clinical laboratory tests would be those in common
use in the United States, (3) the programs would be simple and
easily understood and employ no exotic tricks that were not easily
transported across computers, (4) references to the literature
would be provided to allow the clinician to critically assess the
algorithm or method used himself or to follow up on subsequent
criticisms that may have been published, and (5) the programs would
demonstrate reasonable standards of software engineering in terms
of clarity, trans portability, documentation, and ease of
modification."

Highlighting the challenges and prospects of European security
cooperation, this volume examines the impact of Brexit on strategic
aspects of security, peace, defence and foreign policy for both the
European Union and the UK. It applies theoretical and
methodological approaches from international relations and security
studies to analyse the causal mechanisms of security cooperation,
and covers topics including innovative security technologies,
defence procurement, EU-NATO relations, new capabilities frameworks
(such as PESCO, EDF and EII), the role of French-German military
cooperation, and the implications of Brexit for European deterrence
or the Northern Ireland peace process. The findings contribute to a
better understanding and management of anticipated challenges and
sources of instability in post-Brexit Europe.
