Mediation in family & divorce disputes is intended as a
handbook for mediators and clients who are involved with family and
divorce disputes. It distills 20 years’ of priceless experience
into a succinct and lucid handbook that will be invaluable to
attorneys, mediators, social workers, psychologists and parties to
disputes, helping clients to decide whether they would like to try
to resolve their dispute through mediation and professionals to
reflect on the fundamental principles and practical applications of
their work. The goal of mediation is to enable clients to negotiate
an effective settlement of their dispute, rather than necessarily
reconciling – although occasionally that is a result of mediation.
In a real sense mediation coaches clients to negotiate effectively.
It is about helping clients to negotiate mutually acceptable,
realistic and legal settlements of their disputes. Although the
book is written in a South African context, the principles will
apply and be of interest beyond South Africa and to all mediators
and clients in mediation whether their primary focus is on family
disputes or not. For mediators the book sets out to provide
practical and theoretical guidelines for their work. The practice
tips, further reading suggestions and references serve as an
introduction to some of the work of leading mediators in the field
for those readers who would like to develop a deeper understanding
of the process. The book is also designed to be of use to those who
have recently been trained as mediators or will soon be trained, as
it complements the material usually presented in such training. For
clients it explains what they can expect in the mediation process,
tips as to what to look for in a mediator and what they can do to
prepare for their mediation in order to get the most out of the
process. Each chapter includes tips for mediators and for clients,
as well as suggested further reading if you want to follow up in
more depth on a topic covered in one of the chapters.
This book offers a sustained reevaluation of the most central and perplexing themes of Leibniz's metaphysics. Jan Cover and John O'Leary-Hawthorne examine the question of how the scholastic themes that were Leibniz's inheritance figure--and are refigured--in his mature account of substance and individuation. As a rigorous philosophical treatment of a still-influential mediary between scholastic and modern metaphysics, their study will be of interest to historians of philosophy and modern metaphysicians alike.
Increasingly, the mind is being treated as a fit subject for
scientific inquiry. As cognitive science and empirical psychology
strive to uncover the mind's secrets, it is fitting to inquire as
to what distinctive role is left for philosophy in the study of
mind. This collection, which includes contributions by some of the
leading scholars in the field, offers a rich variety of
perspectives on this issue. Topics addressed include: the place of
a priori inquiry in philosophy of mind, moral psychology,
consciousness, social dimensions of intentionality, the relation of
logic to philosophical psychology, objectivity and the mind, and
privileged access.

economy. Drugs and Doping in Sport brings together work from
leading academics, practitioners and administrators, analyses
contemporary socio-legal and political themes related to doping in
sport. It provides a challenging and often controversial view of

A rousing 7-step plan for living a life filled with hope and
possibility from an inspirational speaker who survived a near-fatal
fire at the age of nine and now runs a successful business
inspiring people all around the world. When John O'Leary was nine
years old, he was almost killed in a devastating house fire. With
burns on one hundred percent of his body, O'Leary mustered an
almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to survive the
ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and the
heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the journey,
his family, the medical staff and total strangers, changed his
life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and
inspiring others to do the same. An incredible and emotionally
honest account of triumph over tragedy, On Fire contains O'Leary's
reflections on being that little boy, the life-giving choices made
then, and the resulting lessons he learned. O'Leary very clearly
shares that without the right people providing the right guidance,
at the right time, he never would have made it through those five
months in the hospital, let alone the years that followed as he
struggled to regain mobility, embrace his story, and ignite clarity
of his life's purpose. On Fire encourages us to seize the power to
choose our path and transform our lives from mundane to
extraordinary. Once we stop thinking solely on the big moments in
our lives, we can begin to focus on those smaller opportunities
that tend to pass us by. These are the events that can determine
how we feel about life now, where we are headed in the future, and
how many lives we can impact along the way. We can't always choose
the path we walk, but we can choose how we walk it. Empowering,
inspiring, remarkably honest, and heartfelt, O'Leary's strength and
incredible spirit shine through on every page.
What is the function of concepts pertaining to meaning in
sociolinguistic practice? In this study, the authors argue that we
can approach a satisfactory answer by displacing the standard
picture of meaning talk as a sort of description with picture that
takes seriously the similarity between meaning talk and various
types of normative injunction. In their discussion of this
approach, they investigate the more general question of the nature
of the normative, as well as a range of important topics specific
to the philosophy of language, including the work of Quine, Sellars
and Wittgenstein.

This book offers a sustained re-evaluation of the most central and
perplexing themes of Leibniz's metaphysics. In contrast to
traditional assessments that view the metaphysics in terms of its
place among post-Cartesian theories of the world, Jan Cover and
John O'Leary-Hawthorne examine the question of how the scholastic
themes which were Leibniz's inheritance figure - and are refigured
- in his mature account of substance and individuation. From this
emerges a sometimes surprising assessment of Leibniz's views on
modality, the Identity of Indiscernibles, form as an internal law,
and the complete-concept doctrine. As a rigorous philosophical
treatment of a still-influential mediary between scholastic and
modern metaphysics, this study will be of interest to historians of
philosophy and contemporary metaphysicians alike.
The American people are frustrated with their government-dismayed
by a series of high-profile failures (Iraq, Katrina, the financial
meltdown) that seems to just keep getting longer. Yet our nation
has a proud history of great achievements: victory in World War II,
our national highway system, welfare reform, the moon landing. We
need more successes like these to reclaim government's legacy of
competence. In If We Can Put a Man on the Moon, William Eggers and
John O'Leary explain how to do it. The key? Understand-and
avoid-the common pitfalls that trip up public-sector leaders during
the journey from idea to results. The authors identify pitfalls
including: -The Partial Map Trap: Fumbling handoffs throughout
project execution -The Tolstoy Syndrome: Seeing only the
possibilities you want to see -Design-Free Design: Designing
policies for passage through the legislature, not for
implementation -The Overconfidence Trap: Creating unrealistic
budgets and timelines -The Complacency Trap: Failing to recognize
that a program needs change At a time of unprecedented challenges,
this book, with its abundant examples and hands-on advice, is the
essential guide to making our government work better. A must-read
for every public official, this book will be of interest to anyone
who cares about the future of democracy.
The fully revised and updated third edition of this textbook
provides a comprehensive guide to the property development process,
taking readers from initial project evaluation to planning,
funding, construction and disposal. The last ten years have seen
regional planning apparatus swept away and replaced by new
neighbourhood plans and more prominence is now given to financial
viability in planning policy and decision making. The uncertainty
of the financial crisis and the associated housing crash have given
way to a new wave of commercial and housing development, and in
this period of growth it is more important than ever to be aware of
the risks and opportunities inherent in the property market. This
book is an ideal companion for students on courses in estate
management, land economics, property development, real estate,
surveying, construction, planning and related subjects. The book
will also have value for practitioners in any of these fields who
as part of their CPD obligations may be looking to refresh and
update their knowledge.
