When Josh Littlejohn started a small sandwich shop in his home city of Edinburgh, he would never have thought that, within ten years' time, it would be frequented by Hollywood megastars, that he would have opened a string of successful cafés across the UK, and that he would be honoured with an MBE by the Queen. Not to mention raising over £25 million to combat homelessness around the world. And all set in motion by a rough sleeper, named Pete, walking into his café one day and sheepishly asking for a job.Paying It Forward is part memoir, part manifesto for social entrepreneurship, and part manual for putting purpose ahead of profit. It reveals what social entrepreneurship is and how it can make a difference. How if only 20% of entrepreneurs became social entrepreneurs our world would be in a much better state. How we can 'Calculate Risks', why we should 'Help Just One Person' every day, and that 'If You Don't Ask, You Don't Get'.
On the 18th of March 2013 David Littlejohn Beveridge set out, in
fulfillment of childhood dreams, to walk the ancient pilgrim route
called the Way of St.James or Camino de Santiago from Roncesvalles
to Santiago de Compostela. Earth Under My Heel is his journal.

Hailed as one of America's original art forms, film has the
distinctive character of crossing high and low art. But film has
done more than this. According to American philosopher Stanley
Cavell, film was also a place where America in the 1930s and 1940s
did its thinking, a tradition that was taken up and enriched
throughout world cinema. Can film indeed think? That is, can film
do the work of philosophy? Following Cavell's lead to think along
the tear of the analytic-continental traditions, this book draws
from both sides of the philosophical divide to reflect on this
question. Spanning generations and disciplines, pondering
everything from art house classics to mainstream blockbusters,
Thinking Film: Philosophy at the Movies aims to fling open the
doors to this conversation on all sides. Inquiring into both
philosophy's word on film and film's word to philosophy, the
interdisciplinary dialogue of this book traverses the conceptual
and the particular as it considers how film catalyzes our thinking
and sets us talking. After viewing the world through film, we find
our world--and ourselves--transformed by deeper understanding and
new possibilities. This book aims to provide a novel and engaging
way in to thinking with and about this enduringly popular art form.

For anyone looking to understand Chinese philosophy, here is the
place to start. Introducing this vast and far-reaching tradition,
Ronnie L. Littlejohn tells you everything you need to know about
the Chinese thinkers who have made the biggest contributions to the
conversation of philosophy, from the Han dynasty to the present. He
covers: * The six classical schools of Chinese philosophy
(Yin-Yang, Ru, Mo, Ming, Fa, and Dao-De) * The arrival of Buddhism
in China and its distinctive development * The central figures and
movements from the end of the Tang dynasty to the introduction into
China of Western thought * The impact of Chinese philosophers
ranging from Confucius and Laozi to Tu Weiming and some of the
Western counterparts who addressed similar issues. Weaving together
key subjects, thinkers, and texts, we see how Chinese traditions
have profoundly shaped the institutions, social practices, and
psychological character of not only East and Southeast Asia, but
the world we are living in. Praised for its completely original and
illuminating thematic approach, this new edition includes updated
reading lists, a comparative chronology of Western and Chinese
philosophers, and additional translated extracts.
This volume expands the chronology and geography of the black
freedom struggle beyond the traditional emphasis on the old South
and the years between 1954 and 1968. Beginning as far back as the
nineteenth century, and analyzing case studies from southern,
northern, and border states, these essays incorporate communities
and topics not usually linked to the African American civil rights
movement. Contributors highlight little-known race riots in
northern cities, the work of black women who defied local
governments to provide medical care to their communities, and the
national Food for Freedom campaign of the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee. Moving to recent issues such as Ferguson,
Sandra Bland, and Black Lives Matter, these chapters connect the
activism of today to a deeply historical, wide-ranging fight for
equality.
The philosophical traditions of China have arguably influenced more
human beings than any other. China has been the home not only of
its indigenous philosophical traditions of Confucianism and Daoism,
but also of uniquely modified forms of Buddhism. As Ronnie L
Littlejohn shows, these traditions have for thousands of years
formed the bedrock of the longest continuing civilization on the
planet; and Chinese philosophy has profoundly shaped the
institutions, social practices and psychological character of East
and Southeast Asia. The author here surveys the key texts and
philosophical systems of Chinese thinkers in a completely original
and illuminating way. Ranging from the Han dynasty to the present,
he discusses the six classical schools of Chinese philosophy
(Yin-Yang, Ru, Mo, Ming, Fa and Dao-De); the arrival of Buddhism in
China and its distinctive development; the central figures and
movements from the end of the Tang dynasty to the introduction into
China of Western thought; and the impact of Chinese philosophers
ranging from Confucius and Laozi to Tu Weiming on their equivalents
in the West."

When it comes to computer crimes, the criminals got a big head
start. But the law enforcement and IT security communities are now
working diligently to develop the knowledge, skills, and tools to
successfully investigate and prosecute Cybercrime cases. When the
first edition of "Scene of the Cybercrime" published in 2002, it
was one of the first books that educated IT security professionals
and law enforcement how to fight Cybercrime. Over the past 5 years
a great deal has changed in how computer crimes are perpetrated and
subsequently investigated. Also, the IT security and law
enforcement communities have dramatically improved their ability to
deal with Cybercrime, largely as a result of increased spending and
training. According to the 2006 Computer Security Institute's and
FBI's joint Cybercrime report: 52% of companies reported
unauthorized use of computer systems in the prior 12 months. Each
of these incidents is a Cybecrime requiring a certain level of
investigation and remediation. And in many cases, an investigation
is mandates by federal compliance regulations such as
Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, or the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data
Security Standard.
Scene of the Cybercrime, Second Edition is a completely revised and
updated book which covers all of the technological, legal, and
regulatory changes, which have occurred since the first edition.
The book is written for dual audience; IT security professionals
and members of law enforcement. It gives the technical experts a
little peek into the law enforcement world, a highly structured
environment where the "letter of the law" is paramount and
procedures must be followed closely lest an investigation be
contaminated and all the evidence collected rendered useless. It
also provides law enforcement officers with an idea of some of the
technical aspects of how cyber crimes are committed, and how
technology can be used to track down and build a case against the
criminals who commit them. Scene of the Cybercrime, Second Editions
provides a roadmap that those on both sides of the table can use to
navigate the legal and technical landscape to understand, prevent,
detect, and successfully prosecute the criminal behavior that is as
much a threat to the online community as "traditional" crime is to
the neighborhoods in which we live. Also included is an all new
chapter on Worldwide Forensics Acts and Laws.
* Companion Web site provides custom tools and scripts, which
readers can download for conducting digital, forensic
investigations.
* Special chapters outline how Cybercrime investigations must be
reported and investigated by corporate IT staff to meet federal
mandates from Sarbanes Oxley, and the Payment Card Industry (PCI)
Data Security Standard
* Details forensic investigative techniques for the most common
operating systems (Windows, Linux and UNIX) as well as cutting edge
devices including iPods, Blackberries, and cell phones.
Over the past decades a new form of professionalism has emerged,
characterized by factors of fluidity, instability and continual
change, leading to the necessitation of new forms of professional
development that support agile and flexible expansion of
professional practice. At the same time, the digitization of work
has had a profound effect on professional practice. This
digitization opens up opportunities for new forms of professional
learning mediated by technologies through networked learning.
Networked learning is believed to lead to a more efficient flow of
complex knowledge and routine information within the organization,
stimulate innovative behaviour, and result in a higher job
satisfaction. In this respect, networked learning can be perceived
as an important perspective on both professional and organizational
development. This volume provides examples of Networked
Professional Learning, it questions the impact of this emerging
form of learning on the academy, and it interrogates the impact on
teachers of the future. It features three sections that explore
networked professional learning from different perspectives:
questioning what legitimate forms of networked professional
learning are across a broad sampling of professions, how new forms
of professional learning impact institutions of higher education,
and the value creation that Networked Learning offers professionals
in broader educational, economic, and social contexts. The book is
of interest to researchers in the area of professional and digital
learning, higher education managers, organizational HR
professionals, policy makers and students of technology enhanced
learning.
