The Fateful Ops folder has been reopened and he's back. Jes Spenser
has been a vital asset and a critical secret weapon in the tool box
America uses in its war on terrorism. He jumps at the opportunity
to take a peaceful assignment that resembles a paid vacation and
possibly reunite him with a lost love. This simple fact finding
mission leads to a possible face-to-face meeting with the F.B.I.'s
number one most wanted terrorist. What would any terrorist fighter
do? This exciting new novel Fateful Ops - The Pursuit of Terror
reunites Spenser's small team of operatives. From Afghanistan to
China, this international thriller leads them into a fight for
their lives. Will anyone survive?
This collection of essays is the product of a series of seminars
held at the University of Cambridge in 1998 under the auspices of
the newly formed Cambridge Socio-Legal Group. The book presents an
interdisciplinary exploration of the nature of parenthood and its
various manifestations in contemporary society. It is divided into
three sections dealing respectively with defining parenthood,new
issues in contemporary parenting and parenting post-divorce. Each
contributor addresses the central question 'What is a Parent?' from
the perspective of his or her own discipline, thus bringing
together ideas about parents derived from law, sociology,
psychology, biology and criminology. Despite the familiar and
apparently obvious answer to this question the notion of 'parent'
emerges from the analysis as a contested concept. Definitions are
various and fluid, parenting practices are by no means fixed, and
ideologies which frame who parents are and what they do are subject
to disruptions from several quarters. In short, the essays in this
book show the ways in which 'parent' like 'child' is a term with a
shifting meaning and 'parenthood' refers to a fluid set of social
practices which are historically and culturally situated.
