British children were mobilised for total war in 1914-18. War
dominated their teaching and school experience, it was the focus of
their extra curricular activities and they enjoyed it as a source
of entertainment in literature and play. Children were not shielded
from the war because it was believed their support was vital for
Britain's present and future.
The study of children's lives provides a unique perspective on
British society during the First World War. It lets us get to the
very essence of how Britain's adults perceived the war and allows
us to explore the methods society used to communicate with itself.
Children's connection to the war, however, was personal. Millions
had a relative in the army and those that did not had friends,
neighbours and teachers involved in the fighting. Their
participation, therefore, while shaped by adults, was motivated by
a desire to remain in touch with their absent fathers and
brothers.
The conquest of Wales by the medieval English throne produced a
fiercely contested territory, both militarily and culturally. Wales
was left fissured by frontiers of language, jurisdiction and
loyalty--a reluctant meeting place of literary traditions and
political cultures. But the profound consequences of this first
colonial adventure on the development of medieval English culture
have been disregarded. In setting English figurations of Wales
against the contrasted representations of the Welsh language
tradition, this volume seeks to reverse this neglect, insisting on
the crucial importance of the English experience in Wales for any
understanding of the literary cultures of medieval England and
medieval Britain.
This collection is the work of scholars on Middle English, Insular
French and Medieval Latin writings of the late twelfth century in
England and its possessions, when an English-speaking populace was
ruled by a French-speaking aristocracy and administered by a
Latin-speaking and writing clergy. The political discourses of
Henry's reign are acknowledged, developed and ironised within the
first real flowering of so many vernacular genres, romance and
history in particular. The energetic and intrepid writers of this
period are examined in relation to the development of social
institutions and emergent ideas of 'nationhood', as the literature
of Henry's court is shown to act as an echo-chamber within which
anxieties about the proper exercise of power in a legal order
founded on martial conquest could be reflected and soothed.
How do we account for experiences of trauma and memory in multicultural and "globalized" societies? World Memory blends the study of trauma and memory with perspectives from postcolonial theory to explore a range of traumatic personal and socio-historical experiences: 9/11/01, the Holocaust, Stolen Generations, Apartheid, racism, sexual abuse, migration, and Diaspora. From diverse disciplinary bases, the writers examine psychoanalytic, artistic, literary, and vernacular accounts of trauma, collectively revealing what happens when languages of memory traverse boundaries of culture, space, and time.
Through a series of close readings of most of Rousseau's major
writings, this book provides a new interpretation of the
eighteenth-century philosopher's sexual politics. The text argues
that Rousseau's writings provide a critique of not only normative
gender identity, but also normative familial and kinship relations.

This book depicts the trials and tribulations when trying to
restore speech to Erik who was locked-in (paralyzed and mute) at
age 16. We implanted electrodes into his brain, initiating a decade
of breakthrough research in speech recovery. It lead to the
author's own brain implant and the consequent successful offline
development of the speech prosthetic whereby mute, locked-in people
can speak. Part 1 is Erik's story of how he became locked-in
following a brainstem stroke, and our efforts to break him out of
his locked-in state by helping him speak. It describes my decision
making, the tremendous contribution of his family, their anguish
and the very relevant comparison with famous locked-in people,
namely, Stephen Hawking and Jean-Dominique Bauby (The Diving Bell
and the Butterfly). Part 2 documents conversations between myself
and Erik's Dad, Eddie. Eddie describes how he was trained in a
rehabilitation hospital to take care of his son. His 16-year
devotion to his son is unparalleled and heroic. This part also
contains important contributions from other researchers in the
field, in a question and answer format. Part 3 is a condensed
version of the scientific aspects of this research written for the
non-scientist. Figures and videos on the website augment the text.
Importantly, there is a full documentary associated with this book.
Innovation Project Management Handbook provides organizational
leaders and decision-makers with a cadre of agile, disciplined, and
transformational tools and processes for improving innovation
opportunity outcomes and achieving sustained innovation project
success. The authors introduce new tools and processes developed
over their decades of work in the field of innovation that assist

In concert with accepted tools already in use today, you are
provided a detailed description of each tool and process in an
"easy to follow" format with actual application scenarios and
exercises. The handbook begins with an innovation primer and
introductory discussion on how the authors evolved the original
ENOVALE model into the N2OVATE methodology. An overview of how to
select a project for each type of innovation opportunity is
provided, followed by an in-depth, step-by-step discussion on how
to implement each innovation process type. Based on innovative
outcomes, the authors identify seven unique processes, each having
its own unique circumstances. This allows you to tailor the
processes and associated tool-sets to the needs of your
organization and situation. After selecting one of the seven
processes that fit your desired innovation outcome, you simply
follow the detailed process maps provided in the applicable chapter
to achieve a desired outcome. In doing so, you will learn how to
use, adapt, and improve the tools and techniques offered in the
handbook to achieve a positive innovation outcome and add value to
your organization, customers, stakeholders, and shareholders.

This brief focuses on translational criminology practices as
they relate to counter-terrorism and homeland security. The work
provides a detailed and practical examination of how global threats
(such as, terrorism and cybercrime) are managed through local
response. It covers emerging strategies in data collection
procedures, inter-agency cooperation, and new analytical techniques
including risk-terrain modeling. In addition, it presents a common
methodology, including steps in risk assessment, risk management,
and decision-making, that can be used to frame and analyze global
and local threats. The authors examine these issues using examples
of how law enforcement responded to specific security threats
including the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, the 2003 terrorist
attack in Istanbul, Turkey, and the 2010 Stuxnet attack on the
Natanz nuclear facility in Iran.
This work expands on existing literature covering the impact that
globalization has on cross national threats, drawing on disciplines
related to criminology, such as international relations and
political science. "
