THE LAST PAGE OF RUDEUS’S TALE
The final disciple of the Man-God appears alongside the treacherous Geese: Badigadi. Equipped with Laplace’s Fighting God Armor and an unparalleled ability to regenerate his body, Badigadi promises a vicious, no-holds-barred fight to the death like Rudeus’s team has never seen before.
Rudeus’s lifelong war against the Man-God is almost over—what will be left when the dust clears?
Emotions at work: irrational, or invaluable? For centuries we have
divided mind and body, valuing reason over emotion. But new
research is fundamentally changing our understanding about how our
brains and body work. What might be possible when we leverage both
our reason AND emotion? Improving your emotional awareness will
enhance your performance. Collaboration relies on connection, and
genuine connection relies on our ability to communicate with one
another effectively, even when it feels uncomfortable. Leadership
development coach and former finance director Susan NĂ
ChrĂodáin, fluent in both the traditional language of business
and the language of workplace emotion, reveals how to build more
meaningful relationships at work so both you and your organization
profit.

'Magical and disturbing' Adam Thirlwell An astonishing,
mind-bending novel about a woman discovering a community of
swan-people from one of Iceland's greatest writers. *SHORTLISTED
FOR THE ICELANDIC WOMEN'S LITERATURE PRIZE* In the not-too-distant
future, a young spy named ElĂsabet Eva is about to discover
something that will upend her life. ElĂsabet likes to take long
solitary walks near the lake. One day, she sees two creatures
emerging from the water, half-human, half-swan. She follows them
through tangles of thickets into a strange new reality. Pulled into
the monomaniacal, and often violent, quest of the swanfolk,
ElĂsabet finds her own mind increasingly untrustworthy. Soon, she
is forced to reckon with the consequences of her involvement with
these unusual beings, and a past life she has been trying to evade.

This book pushes the theoretical boundaries of human rights
education, engaging with complex questions of climate-related
injustices, re-imagining education through a decolonising lens, and
problematising the relationship between rights and
responsibilities. It presents international studies of HRE in
varied contexts (e.g. Uganda, Japan, Ireland) to explore the views
and experiences of children who identify as human rights defenders,
initial teachers’ understandings of concepts such as teacher
agency in conflict-affected settings, and the barriers to
children’s political agency. The book also highlights HRE in
practice including participatory research with very young children
as co-researchers and realising rights through play pedagogies,
creative writing approaches and picturebooks. A HRE lens is also
brought to bear on emerging subjects such as relationships and
sexuality education and wellbeing. Aimed at educators, researchers
and practitioners, and engaging with a range of concepts, contexts
and contemporary challenges, this book offers new insights into
HRE, particularly in the context of issues relating to children’s
rights education and participation.
Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed
34-year-old shut-in thinks he's hit rock-bottom - just as he's hit
and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as
an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories
of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to
repeat his past mistakes. He's going to make the most of this
reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!
This book analyses anthropological debates on “relationism”
(referring to methodological and theoretical issues) and sets out
to reconsider these discussions with regards to the notion of
“substance” (generally associated with the body). Reflecting on
the philosophical origins and implications of these two concepts,
the author aims to bring them to the heart of contemporary
anthropological discourse and addresses the erasure (or blurring)
of “substance” in favour of “relation.” The argument put
forward is that the conceptual pairing of “substance-relation”
should be substituted for the “nature-culture” dualism that has
been dominant in structural anthropology. The chapters engage with
the work of scholars such as Philippe Descola, Eduardo Viveiros de
Castro and Wang Mingming as part of a decentring and questioning of
the tradition in which anthropology is rooted. The book also
considers the role that the anthropology of China plays in the
re-evaluation of the relationship between relation and substance.
The concept of “submutance” is introduced with Chinese
ethnographic material to explore the possibility of moving beyond
the relation-substance dualism of Western heritage. This is
valuable reading for scholars interested in the theory and history
of anthropology.
After trekking nearly 7,500 miles, from Istanbul, Turkey to
Xi’an, China, French travel writer Bernard Ollivier thought he
had put the Silk Road behind him—enough for a retiree to rest on
his laurels! But that was before meeting his now-partner-in-life
Bénédicte Flatet. Why, she asked, hadn’t he set out from
France? After all, the city of Lyon was once Europe’s silk
capital. Â Now, at seventy-five years old, Ollivier decides
to lace up his walking boots and head out to complete his Silk-Road
journey, once and for all: 1,900 miles, from Lyon to Istanbul. Only
this time, he won’t be alone. Flatet has long yearned to hike
side-by-side with Ollivier, so the couple sets out
together . . .
                                                                                                                      Â
This unexpected fourth volume in Ollivier’s Silk Road series (Out
of Istanbul, Walking to Samarkand, and Winds of the Steppe) is a
wonderful bonus for the author’s fans: not only is it the
enthralling continuation of his long walk across Asia, it’s a new
journey unto itself, across Europe, full of delightful firsts, such
as the inclusion of short chronicles by Flatet. Through ten
countries—from familiar France and Italy to the more mysterious
Balkans—the intrepid pair invites us to discover the sometimes
happy, sometimes tragic history of those they encounter, and to
share in their daily lives. Back to Istanbul is both a fervent
appeal for greater understanding among peoples, and a magnificent
declaration of love. Â

When life gives you another world, you take it for all it's worth!
The irreverant new isekai adventure from the creator of Didn't I
Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! and I Shall
Survive Using Potions! Anime streaming now! After growing up an
orphan, Mitsuha has a healthy respect for money and a desire to
live well--at least, until she dies after being pushed off a cliff.
Waking up in a strange fantasy world, Mitsuha narrowly survives an
encounter with a pack of wolves, then realizes she has the power to
move between this world and the real one. A lesser person might
embark on heroic adventures--Mitsuha instead immediately recognizes
the lucrative possibilities of her new situation, and heads out to
buy an arsenal of modern weapons. Her goal: to acquire 80,000 gold,
and the life of leisure she's always dreamed of!
This is a unique book, groundbreaking in the field of Islamic
studies. It is, on its surface, a personal story of a South African
couple making their first pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj) together. The
authors are highly intelligent, well educated, slightly sarcastic,
but very devout in a way that resonates with the faith of other
young people throughout the world. But this book is more than the
musings of young professionals on the meaning of a traditional
ritual. The authors are South African activists struggling against
apartheid and its aftermath. At the same time, they grapple with
gender and authority issues within Islam, especially as these
issues question their social activism. Their book is therefore a
focused story of Muslims committed to social reform and seeking to
reconcile their activism with their deeply traditional faith. The
story is all the more poignant knowing that the trip is both the
vehicle of spiritual discovery and the couple’s last trip together.
Shamima died a few months later, leaving Na’eem to bring up their
two sons and make sense of their journey together. Several books
have been published on the Islamic pilgrimage. None, however, has
the accessibility and personal appeal of Journey of Discovery. More
importantly, none has incorporated the meaning of the pilgrimage
into the spiritual and social landscape of Muslim life in the
contemporary world, as this has. This book is easy to read, yet
highly charged intellectually and emotionally.

Organizational diversity has become a topic of interest for
practitioners and academics alike. This book explores how diversity
in organizations is, and can be researched, providing readers with
insights into the potential research designs for studies in
contemporary organizations. This includes paying attention to
methods but also to the role of the researcher and research bodies
in the field, their potential as activists as well as to the
theoretical question of standpoints in researching organizational
diversity. Chapters also consider the diversity of research
participants, inclusive research, and intersectionality. All
contributors are experts in diversity research, and in their
contributions, they reflect upon the appropriate methods for the
specific type of diversity research they conduct, noting strengths
and weaknesses and illustrating their arguments with practical
examples from their work. This handbook will be of great value to
academics, students, researchers, practitioners, and professionals
with an interest in broadening their understanding of how to
research organizational diversity in contemporary organizations or
seeking to develop their awareness of diversity when researching
management and organization, more generally.
The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace
is the first multi-authored volume to specifically address the many
facets of the 30-year Northern Ireland conflict, colloquially known
as the Troubles, and its subsequent peace process. This volume is
rooted in opening space to address controversial subjects, answer
key questions, and move beyond reductive analysis that reproduces a
simplistic two community theses. The temporal span of individual
chapters can reach back to the formation of the state of Northern
Ireland, with many starting in the late 1960s, to include a range
of individuals, collectives, organisations, understandings, and
events, at least up to the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement of 1998.
This volume has forefronted creative approaches in understanding
conflict and allows for analysis and reflection on conflict and
peace to continue through to the present day. With an extensive
introduction, preface, and 45 individual chapters, this volume
represents an ambitious, expansive, interdisciplinary engagement
with the North of Ireland through society, conflict, and peace from
a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, theoretical frameworks,
and methodological approaches. While allowing for rich historical
explorations of high-level politics rooted in state documents and
archives, this volume also allows for the intermingling of
different sources that highlight the role of personal papers,
memory, space, materials, and experience in understanding the
complexities of both Northern Ireland as a people, place, and
political entity.
