The progressive globalization of business and the growing importance of China as an economic and political power make an understanding of the workings of Chinese law increasingly necessary for business people, lawyers, politicians and scholars. A multiplicity of laws and regulations passed every year by governments at various levels make the study of Chinese law an increasingly complex task. The editors and contributors of this book have endeavoured to present Chinese law wherever possible from an angle accessible to those with a common law background, whilst necessarily retaining the use of Chinese legal terminology. This book encompasses all of the most important aspects of Chinese law, and has a strong practical and case law emphasis and is edited by eminent academics at the City University of Hong Kong.

Demystifying Numerical Models: Step-by Step Modeling of Engineering Systems is the perfect guide on the analytic concepts of engineering components and systems. In simplified terms, the book focuses on engineering characteristics and behaviors using numerical methods. Readers will learn how the computational aspects of engineering analysis can be applied to develop various engineering systems to a level that is fit for implementation.

Mental health practitioners must be prepared to treat addiction-related issues-affecting up to 50% of mental health clients-whether or not clients present with addiction as a primary concern. This practical roadmap to the treatment of addictions advocates an underutilized-yet highly effective-method of intervention: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. It is the first book to integrate the Stages of Change Model with EMDR's phases for successful treatment outcome. The book addresses the scope of problems relating to addiction, including relevant statistics and descriptions of substance and process addictions, and considers the connection between addiction and trauma. While focusing on the use of EMDR therapy in treating addictions, the book also considers traditional models for each stage of treatment so interventions can be individualized according to the needs of each client.

The authors describe in detail the Transtheoretical Model, tracing its development and theoretical foundations. They discuss each of its stages in depth, presenting and integrating EMDR interventions used by therapists in each stage. The interventions are useful for helping clients at any motivational level. Case vignettes in each chapter illustrate how EMDR techniques are used, and several detailed cases are provided at the end of the book. The appendix features additional resources and EMDR protocols. The text will be useful for therapists currently using EMDR for addiction treatment as well as those using other modalities who are seeking an effective alternative. Key Features:

Provides a practical roadmap to using the Stages of Change Model and EMDR therapy for effectively treating addictions Addresses substance and process addictions in depth Focuses on the trauma-addiction connection and treatment options Describes each Stage of Change and EMDR protocols and interventions for each stage Includes case vignettes and detailed case examples

Modern engineering systems are complex and multi-faceted, and must be flexible, adaptable, and fully integrated with the supply chain and other stakeholders to deliver an effective level of performance. Therefore, this book aims to create an operational view and new understanding of modern system design, commissioning, operation, services and support. It includes system of systems modelling and analysis techniques essential to develop whole of system in view of essential requirements. This book will address professional engineers/operations managers required to design, develop, implement and operate a complex socio-technical system containing many engineering systems. Key Features * Develops a holistic view of system of systems from all possible fields of interest * Introduces the idea of system configurability to understand system of systems in parallel with the typical, classical concepts of engineering systems design * Offers effective coverage of both the engineering aspects and operational aspects of systems of systems * Focuses on pragmatic viewpoints on how to analyze system of systems * Provides practical tools and methods for the readers to develop competence to configure and operate system of systems

John M. O'Shea explores this question by employing modern archaeological theory and analysis as well as mortuary theory to build a model of an Early Bronze Age society in the eastern Carpathian Basin. He focuses on the Maros communities and utilizes the densely encoded social information from their cemeteries to draw a picture of the Maros' social systems.

Focusing on an area of coastline particularly known for vessel strandings, this volume includes histories of more than 50 lost vessels; a description of the remains of vessels and wreckage documented during archaeological research; an analysis of shoreline change in the last 150 years; and a model for matching wreckage to lost ships. This book will be of interest to archaeologists, historians, and anyone who loves the Great Lakes.

This book contains a collection of poems written by the author over a protracted period. They reflect the authors interests at various times in his life. They sometimes reflect his opinion on political or other matters current at the time of writing. They have particular reference to matters relevant to Australian readers.

They reflect not the life's work but a long time hobby of the author.

This book focuses on the Servant Leadership practice as exemplified by Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State, Nigeria. Lagos State is the most populated (about 21 million people) in Nigeria. Trasformational strides have been witnessed by the people of Lagos State which are showcased in this book. Dr Ekundayo, John, did his PhD, on the Governor's leadership style conducting both quantitative and qualitative research studies spanning three years. The outcome is the production of this book.

Do you need help and desperately too? This book in your hand can take your destiny beyond what you could ever imagine After reading this book, your testimony will be like King Asa of old: "LORD, it is nothing for You to help" (2 Chronicles 14: 11). You will not only enjoy the reading, as it was written plainly and simply, and filled with real life situations, which with the touch of HIS HELPING HANDS from above turned to testimonies of triumphs. You will also get inspired to look up to God for your own situation to change; as the Bible says: "they look to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed" (Psalm 34: 5). It is your time and turn to receive help Pastor John Moyo Ope Ekundayo was born in Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria in 1961. He graduated Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria in 1985.
