An original book offering a unique theoretical approach,
Re-examining Insolvency Law and Theory analyses the important role
that legal theory plays in the development of insolvency law. It
explores how law and theory are able to respond to issues of
financial distress in the 21st century and questions how insolvency
law could develop to address contemporary challenges. Re-examining
Insolvency Law and Theory brings together international experts in
insolvency, who consider the key conceptual influences that have
impacted insolvency law since the beginning of the 21st century.
Chapters address a number of theoretical perspectives, divided into
overall philosophical considerations, theoretical criticisms of the
internal mechanisms of insolvency law, and how external theoretical
paradigms could be used to shift perspectives on insolvency
frameworks. Presenting a distinctive and conceptually holistic
approach, this erudite book provides an essential contribution to
an ever evolving area of legal research and practice. Re-examining
Insolvency Law and Theory is a crucial read for academics and
students interested in insolvency law both in the UK and
internationally. It will also be highly insightful for legal
professionals and practitioners specialising in insolvency law.

This incisive book critically explores the principles, purpose and
application of corporate rescue in order to bring new significance
to rescue theory. Responding to key legislative developments and
recent case law, it examines major insolvency theories and
establishes which theoretical principles are prominently applied in
practice, and whether these principles have affected the drivers of
policy consideration. John M. Wood gives unique consideration to
value within a corporate failure and rescue context, focusing on
the issue of identifying the value of a company and its assets so
that optimal rescue outcomes can be realised. Wood provides a
detailed examination of the professional discretion afforded to
insolvency practitioners to determine how commercial decisions,
like rescue proposals, are construed. The in-depth analysis of key
cases such as Re One Blackfriars Ltd and legislation including the
Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 will prove invaluable
for both practitioners and policy makers exploring corporate
insolvency and rescue reform. It will also be of interest to
scholars and students of insolvency law, as well as company law
more broadly.

John Muir is considered to be the supreme icon of western
wilderness and preservation. His counterpart in the east is Harlan
P. Kelsey, an often obscure and forgotten figure. In Beautiful Land
of the Sky, author Loren M. Wood chronicles Kelsey's journey from
the humblest of beginnings to national prominence in horticulture
and the establishment of national parks in the eastern United
States. In this biography, Wood tells how, a century ago, Kelsey
was the first to pioneer native plants for the American landscape
and a leader in that process; how he was a leading participant in
bringing all of America to our native plants in their finest
original setting; and how he helped make a reality of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park, a zenith of horticultural biomass
and diversity in America. In addition, this biography explores the
parallels in the odysseys of Muir and Kelsey. Though primarily a
biography of Kelsey, Wood compares the similarities, differences,
and accomplishments of the two men. Including details gathered from
more than fifty thousand items in Kelsey's personal files,
Beautiful Land of the Sky narrates the inspiring and entertaining
story of how the idea of national parks was implemented east of the
Mississippi.
The 77th Annual International Meeting of the Psychometric Society
(IMPS) brought together quantitative researchers who focus on
methods relevant to psychology. The conference included workshops,
invited talks by well-known scholars, and presentations of
submitted papers and posters. It was hosted by the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln and took place between the 9th and 12th of July,
2012. The chapters of this volume are based on presentations from
the meeting and reflect the latest work in the field. Topics with a
primarily measurement focus include studies of item response
theory, computerized adaptive testing, cognitive diagnostic
modeling, and psychological scaling. Additional psychometric topics
relate to structural equation modeling, factor analysis, causal
modeling, mediation, missing data methods, and longitudinal data
analysis, among others. The papers in this volume will be
especially useful for researchers (graduate students and other
quantitative researchers) in the social sciences who use
quantitative methods, particularly psychologists. Most readers will
benefit from some prior knowledge of statistical methods in reading
the chapters.
Fresh from a stint recruiting Albanians to fight the Cossacks in
the Crimean War, Edward Shelley embarked for South America, to
avoid tiresome (and embarrassing) Parliamentary hearings back home.
Thus began a trip around the world over the next 52 months, as he
searched for adventure and new scenes to explore, stopping at
intervals to collect traveling money from home. Shelley found
adventure in full measure, crossing the Andes, passing through
revolution-ravaged Mexico, sleeping alongside an erupting Hawaiian
volcano and following invading British and French armies into
China; and even close brushes with death receive only laconic
mention in his journal. Annotations of the journal typescript
explain journal some obscure entries and provide the historical and
geographical context for his travels.
"To The Hurting, God Massages Our Hearts On The Hour," is written
to give my God thanks and praise for His goodness, His mercies, His
loving kindness and His intimacy during the darkest periods in my
life. It is my hope that this book will bring comfort to those who
are going through a storm at this very moment. To those who have
come out of a storm, and those who are about to enter into a storm,
I trust that you will continue to find assurance in knowing that we
serve a Mighty God.
Transitional Urology is designed to fill a critical gap that exists
in the published literature by comprehensively addressing the
urological challenges facing adolescents and adults with complex
congenital anomalies of the genitourinary system. It provides a
valuable resource to pediatricians and pediatric urologists facing
urological management issues beyond their expertise in their aging
patients as well as technical guidance to adult urologists who may
have had little or no experience caring for patients with a
congenital condition. This work will service as a field guide to
congenitalism, providing a "how to" approach to guide the urologist
using real clinical examples for the most common and challenging
urological problems encountered. It also provides a framework for
the transition process from pediatric to adult-centered care, with
a special emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature needed to
provide patient-centered care. Specific conditions that require
special consideration, including myelomeningocele, exstrophy,
posterior urethral valves, and hypospadias are highlighted. Topics
considered common in the general urology practice- like infertility
and sexual dysfunction are addressed within the context of patients
with neurological or anatomical complexity. In addition, this text
reviews urological complaints for which basic clinical algorithms
are well-established within the context of a congenitally-abnormal
bladder. Chapters discuss how and when special testing like video
urodynamnics and positional fluoroscopy may be warranted to provide
critical diagnostic guidance. The text also review how typical
age-related urological phenomena, like elevated PSA, hypogonadism,
and BPH, may present in this subset of patients and how treatment
of these conditions may be different than the general population.
Love, says the apostle Paul, "does not rejoice over injustice, but
rejoices in the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:6). The theological
explorations undertaken here all deal in one way or another with
the liberating promise and the perplexing problem of truth in
Christian life and witness, and with the ways that Christian
theology and theological education in their various modes struggle
both to seek the truth and to foster the aptitude to honour it.
Charles M. Wood is Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at
Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and
director of the university's Graduate Program in Religious Studies.
His most recent books are 'Attentive in God: Thinking Theologically
in Ministry' (co-authored with Ellen Blue) and 'The Question of
Providence'. "This engaging collection of essays by Charles Wood
offers illuminating perspectives on critical theological issues.
Wood opens up theological questions in new ways through providing
fresh angles of vision and insightful analysis. His ability to
bring clarity to sometimes complex issues makes him a joy to read.
Whether one is interested in Wesleyan Studies, the contemporary
theological task, or the future shape of theological education,
this book will be a most welcome and valued resource." - Henry H.
Knight III, Donald and Pearl Wright Professor of Wesleyan Studies,
Saint Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, Missouri "Making
Wesleyan theology a kind of test case, Charles Wood gracefully
shows us the delights and pitfalls of Christian doctrine. Though he
gently reminds us of the manifold ways theology can go wrong, he
majors in the joy of doing theology devoted to the truth and in
service of love. Few theologians are so attuned, as is Wood, to
theology's responsibility in a perilous world and yet so ruled by
the gospel's power to make its own way despite our theological
pretensions. Accompanying Wood in these essays is as rewarding
spiritually as it is intellectually. That's the mark of good
Wesleyan theology, indeed, of any theology." - M. Douglas Meek, Cal
Turner Chancellor Professor of Theology and Wesleyan Studies,
Vanderbilt University Divinity School

related to social/emotional development. It discusses how
counselors can advocate for gifted students, lead efforts to match
programming and needs, and collaborate with school staff and
families. Vignettes depicting critical incidents and epitomizing
needs are used to illuminate differentiated counseling approaches
that support this student population. Each chapter highlights a key
concept, and curriculum guidelines and resources for professional
development support the text. Key Features: Interweaves school
