murderous plot against the Huguenots. Will any of the Huguenot
princes survive? Life and death rest with two people ...Rachelle
Dushane-Macquinet, couturiere from a celebrated silk-making family,
has come back to the Louvre Palais to create the royal wedding

she must use her wits to preserve her honor---and the lives of her
fellow Huguenots.Marquis Fabien de Vendome has also returned from a

magnificent; its regent, Catherine de Medici, deceptively charming
... and the circumstances, darker than Rachelle could possibly
imagine. At a time in history when the tortures of the Bastille and
the fiery stake are an almost casual consequence in France, a
scourge of recrimination is moving fast and furious against the
Huguenots---and as the Queen Mother's political intrigues weave a
web of deception around her, Rachelle finds herself in imminent
danger.Hope rests in warning the handsome Marquis Fabien de Vendome
of the wicked plot against his kin. But to do so, Rachelle must
follow a perilous course.
This book examines both the need for sustainable economics and the
financial practices that will underpin it. The link between rising
inequality and the threat to social sustainability is highlighted
to create the Economic Scale of Global Boundaries model, which
realigns GDP to include quantifiable environmental and social
economic gains and losses. The model is applied at both the
national and company level to show its practical application for
policy and everyday business practice. The impacts of inequality,
declining economic growth and the impending deadlines of the
Sustainable Development Goals are also discussed in detail. This
book aims to highlight how principles of the circular economy and
ESG can be utilized to help meet net zero targets. It will be
relevant to students, researchers, organizations, and policymakers
interested in environmental economics and sustainability and is
written to provoke predictive thinking on the global changes ahead.

effective aspects of JKD are highlighted, as are some of its

In the months leading up to his death, Bruce Lee was working on
this definitive study of the Chinese martial arts--collectively
known as Kung Fu or Gung Fu. This book has now been edited and is
published here for the first time in its entirety. Bruce Lee
revolutionized the practice of martial arts and brought them into
the modern world--by promoting the idea that students have the
right to pick and choose those techniques and training regimens
which suit their personal needs and fighting styles. He developed a
new method of his own called Jeet Kune Do--combining many elements
from different masters and different traditions. This was
considered heretical at the time within martial arts circles, where
one was expected to study with only a single master--and Lee was
the first martial artist to attempt this. Today he is revered as
the "father" of many martial arts practices around the
world--including Mixed Martial Arts. In addition to presenting the
fundamental techniques, mindset and training methods of traditional
Chinese martial arts, this martial art treatise explores such
esoteric topics as Taoism and Zen as applied to Gung Fu, Eastern
and Western fitness regimens and self-defense techniques. Also
included is a Gung Fu "scrapbook" of Bruce Lee's anecdotes
regarding the history and traditions of the martial arts of China.
After Lee's death, his manuscript was completed and edited by
martial arts expert John Little in cooperation with the Bruce Lee
Estate. This book features an introduction by his wife, Linda Lee
Cadwell and a foreword from his close friend and student, Taky
Kimura. This Bruce Lee Book is part of the Bruce Lee Library which
also features: Bruce Lee: Striking Thoughts Bruce Lee: The
Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon Bruce Lee: Artist of Life
