The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything.
But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.
Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
A fun, concise and attractive introduction to a fascinating and
challenging subject. This is the ideal book for secondary school
students and undergraduate students coming to theology for the
first time, or indeed for anyone who just doesn't know where to
start. The book examines key thinkers from the New Testament to
Feminist Theology. It starts by considering some of the authors of
New Testament writings and then focuses on representatives of the
western tradition of theological speculation. Nearly half the work
concentrates on 20th century thinkers and problems. It puts them in
their historical, social and cultural settings, emphasizing that
theology is as much a reflection on the world we live in as it is
on God. Technical terms are explained in simple language throughout
the text. This makes the book an ideal reference tool for a clear
first overview of theology.

The people who lived at Brant's Ford, or in the countryside around
it, have made a considerable contribution to Canadian history.
Since Joseph Brant first established himself and the Indians of the
Six Nations, there in 1784, the region has been affected by, and
has reacted to, great events in Europe and North America, and in
the process has grown from a precarious pioneer settlement to a
well-developed agricultural and industrial society. This book is an
account of nearly two centuries of economic and social change in
the Brant area. The author records the effects of these changes on
Indian and non-Indian alike and relates them to developments in
Ontario and the rest of Canada. He gives much attention to such
notables as Joseph Brant himself, Hiram 'King' Capron (the founder
of the town of Paris), George Brown, the politician-turned-farmer,
and his 'agricultural factory', Alexander Graham Bell, Pauline
Johnson, Sara Jeannette Duncan, and to such industrial and
philanthropic families as the Veritys and the Cockshutts. This book
is published under the auspices of the Ontario Historical Society.
It is one that everyone interested in Canadian history will want to
read.

From the author of the "dark and devious...beautifully written"
(Stephen King) Mirrorland comes an "atmospheric, thrilling, and
utterly captivating" (Booklist) gothic tale set on a remote
Scottish island where the locals are hiding a deadly secret. Maggie
Mackay has been haunted her entire life. No matter what she does,
she can't shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And
maybe something is... When she was five years old, Maggie announced
that a man on the remote island of Kilmeray in Scotland's Outer
Hebrides--a place she'd never visited--was murdered. Her unfounded
claim drew media attention and turned the locals against each
other, creating rifts that never mended. Now, nearly twenty years
later, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened, and
what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some
are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, the
island's legendary and violent storms begin to rage again and
Maggie's own life is in danger... Unnerving, enthralling, and
filled with gothic suspense, The Blackhouse is a spectacularly
sinister tale readers won't soon forget.
A zany case of mistaken identity allows a lonely old man one last chance to be part of a family in this warm, life-affirming debut novel.
“Would you mind terribly, old boy, if I borrowed the rest of your life? I promise I’ll take excellent care of it.”
Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.
Denise Simms is stuck breathing the same disappointing air again and again. A middle-aged mom and caregiver at Bernard's facility, her crumbling marriage and daughter's health concerns are suffocating her joy for life. Wounded by her two-faced husband, she vows never to let a man deceive her again.
As Fred walks in Bernard’s shoes, he leaves a trail of kindness behind him, fueling Denise's suspicions about his true identity. When unexpected truths are revealed, Fred and Denise rediscover their sense of purpose and learn how to return a broken life to mint condition.
Bittersweet and remarkably perceptive, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife is a hilarious, feel-good, clever novel about grief, forgiveness, redemption, and finding family.
Providing a much-needed study on cybersecurity regime building,
this comprehensive book is a detailed analysis of cybersecurity
norm-making processes and country positions, through the lens of
multi-stakeholder diplomacy. Multi-disciplinary and multi-national
scholars and practitioners use insights drawn from high-level
discussion groups to provide a rigorous analysis of how major cyber
powers view multi-stakeholder diplomacy. Looking at how past
cybersecurity initiatives and multi-stakeholder negotiations in
other fields illuminate its dynamics, this book will help put
states' approaches towards multi-stakeholder cyber diplomacy into
perspective, and frame the role of private actors in cybersecurity
regime building. Evaluating the most promising institutional
arrangements and mechanisms for implementing cybersecurity, this
book combines top-down analyses relevant to the design of
international cybersecurity regimes with bottom-up case studies,
tracing the approaches of important states towards
multi-stakeholder participation in cyber diplomacy. With a wealth
of policy-relevant findings, this book will be welcomed by
practitioners and scholars of international law, international
organisation and international cybersecurity as well as
multi-stakeholder governance and multilateral regimes. Policymakers
and diplomats involved in international cybersecurity processes
will also benefit from its cutting-edge comparative analysis of the
approaches of key cyber powers.

save her brother from financial ruin, Frankie—a single stage
performer and mentalist who never made it big—agrees to be
assassinated on the most popular television show on the planet:
Death Warrant. Once she signs her life away, her memory is wiped
clean of the agreement, leaving her with no idea she will soon be
killed spectacularly for global entertainment. After years of

performance of her life as her Death Warrant assassin closes in on
her. Every person she encounters could be her killer. Every day
could be her last. She could be a star, if only she lives that
long.
Build toward Long-Term Energy, Health, and Success as a Leader
Pastors and ministry leaders are some of the hardest-working people
in the world--and they have the high rate of burnout to prove it.
As a leader, if you aren't operating at peak efficiency and taking
care of yourself, it is bound to catch up with you in a big way. So
few in ministry feel they have the time to take a sabbatical or
tend to their own physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. But
healthy rhythms of work and rest are the key to a thriving,
long-term ministry. Putting their years of experience as both
leaders and consultants to work, Jason Young and Jonathan Malm show
you how to fine-tune your leadership and organize your life in such
a way that you can become a high-capacity leader without the
exhaustion and discouragement so many feel. They teach you how to
set healthy boundaries, release control, operate from your values,
and much more in order to burn bright and make a lasting impact
without sacrificing your health, happiness, and relationships.
