Edinburgh, 2014. Two writer friends, Damaris and Oliver Pablo,
escape London, the city that killed his brother. They spend their
days trying to get to the library, bickering over their tanking
bitcoin, failing to write or resist the sadness. Then they meet
Diego, a poet. He tells them he is named for his mother’s island
in the Chagos Archipelago, which she and her community were forced
to leave by British soldiers in 1973. Damaris and Oliver Pablo
become obsessed with this notorious episode and the continuing
resistance of the Chagossian people, and want to write in
solidarity. But how to share a story that is not theirs to tell?
And how to account for a loss not theirs to grieve? A tragicomedy
interrogating the powers of literature alongside the crimes of the
British government, Diego Garcia is a collaborative fiction that
opens up possibilities for the novel and seeks other ways of living
together.
This guide brings together a selection of the best walks in
northern Aberdeenshire. The walks include hill climbs, moorland
tracks, cliff-top and dune walks by the coast, and paths through
parkland, woodland and farmland.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the police role
from within a broader philosophical context. Contending that the
police are in the midst of an identity crisis that exacerbates
unjustified law enforcement tactics, Luke William Hunt examines
various major conceptions of the police-those seeing them as
heroes, warriors, and guardians. The book looks at the police role
considering the overarching societal goal of justice and seeks to
present a synthetic theory that draws upon history, law, society,
psychology, and philosophy. Each major conception of the police
role is examined in light of how it affects the pursuit of justice,
and how it may be contrary to seeking justice holistically and
collectively. The book sets forth a conception of the police role
that is consistent with the basic values of a constitutional
democracy in the liberal tradition. Hunt's intent is that
clarifying the police role will likewise elucidate any constraints
upon policing strategies, including algorithmic strategies such as
predictive policing. This book is essential reading for thoughtful
policing and legal scholars as well as those interested in
political philosophy, political theory, psychology, and related
areas. Now more than ever, the nature of the police role is a
philosophical topic that is relevant not just to police officials
and social scientists, but to everyone.
Watch the Throne: The Tactics Behind the Premier League's European
Champions, 1999-2019 lifts the lid on the tactics used by Premier
League clubs on their respective journeys to Champions League
glory. Beginning with Manchester United in 1999 and concluding with
Liverpool's 2019 triumph, Watch the Throne provides detailed
analysis of how Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool overcame
their opposition to claim the ultimate prize in European club
football. While United's 1999 victory was an outlier, Liverpool's
win in 2005 began a period of domination for Premier League clubs,
with eight English finalists in eight seasons from 2004/05 to
2011/12. Changes in tactical trends saw the absence of Premier
League finalists between the 2012/13 and 2016/17 seasons as
Spanish, German and French sides briefly overtook their Premier
League rivals, before an all-English 2019 final between Liverpool
and Tottenham Hotspur marked the technical and tactical recovery of
the world's wealthiest football league.

A compelling story of family, empire, and memory--"an ambitious
and prize-worthy debut" ("The Sunday Times," London)
Luke Williams's exquisitely written debut novel is narrated by
Evie Steppman, a woman born with an extraordinarily acute sense of
hearing. Now, at fifty-four, alone in an attic in Scotland that is
filled with objects from her past, and with her powers of hearing
starting to fade, she sets out to record the events of her life.
From her recollections come an outpouring of stories that transcend
history; tales of a twelfth-century mapmaker mingle with memories
of Evie's childhood growing up in Nigeria in the 1950s and her
travels across America in the 1960s. Williams's fascination with
history and his talent for evoking multiple voices will bring to
mind the work of Salman Rushdie and David Mitchell.
&>Master a complete five-step program for identifying and
executing on disruptive business opportunities! Now updated and
even more effective, Luke Williams' Disrupt, Second Edition
combines the design industry's most powerful "disruptive thinking"
techniques with real business implementation discipline. Drawing on
his pioneering experience innovating at the legendary frog design
(and teaching innovation at NYU), Williams shows exactly how to
generate and execute on a steady stream of disruptive strategies.
Using updated examples and a book-length case study, Williams shows
how the more unexpected an idea, the smaller the number of
competitors, and the more successful the company that brings it to
market. You'll walk through generating your disruptive hypothesis,
defining your disruptive market opportunity, creating multiple
disruptive ideas, shaping them into an actionable solution, and
persuading key stakeholders to adopt or invest in your solution.
Disrupt, Second Edition is for all entrepreneurs, product and
marketing managers, R and D specialists, strategists, and senior
executives seeking to create disruptive products, services, and
customer experiences. It offers you a systematic and proven way to
redefine your company's future, stun your industry, and leave your
competitors scrambling to catch up.
