Becoming part of the Ribbon, My personal journey is just that. It tells, in detail, what I went through during my whole process of getting breast cancer. I have always said that it is all in the attitude and now I can live to tell how true that is. I can remember saying to my Mom, "Let's try to have as much fun with this journey as we can" and I can say that I did do that. I hope that this book gives other women that are diagnosed the courage and strength to get through this terrible disease.

Modernity has been a key issue for Latin Americans and Latin Americanists for decades. Did Latin America come early or late to modernity? Was modernity imposed from outside the region, or has it been reinvented from within? Is modernity monolithic or multiple? The literature on the subject is rich, but--like Latin American modernity itself is often said to be--it is also fragmented, supplying contradictory answers to all these crucial questions. "When Was ""Latin America"" Modern"? is the first work to bring scholars from history, social science and cultural studies together in a fascinating series of debates about what it has meant to be modern in Latin America.

The English Revolution of the seventeenth century was driven by lawyers. The struggle between the monarchy and Parliament was legal in its character and impact. The Rule of Law? explores this central theme in early modern history.

• Stuart England and the English Revolution is a major undergraduate course - students will use this book.
• Rule of Law is central to Civil War and all major seventeenth century debates.
• Wide appeal: discusses long term political significance of the legal issues.
• Considerable success of books on Stuart history - e.g. The Stuart Age/Coward.
• Will establish itself as the standard work of reference in this area.

This book measures contemporary attitudes to the law - within and outside of the legal profession to see how c17th century Englishmen defined the role of law in their society, to see what their expectations were of the law and how these expectations helped shape political debate and ultimately determined political decisions over the course of a very turbulent century.

Stemming from an interdisciplinary convention in 2005 at the Institute for the Studies of the Americas in London, this collection has a strong thematic integrity, but also illustrates the dramatic variety of approaches to the question of modernity. This volume fills the gaps in prior literature on Latin America's experience of modernity.

Branding is currently one of the most exciting subjects around; business people everywhere are waking up to the fact that brands are a huge source of value. But it is only by understanding the real value that brands bring to consumers that brand owners and manufacturers can truly learn to exploit that value. Brands no longer operate only in the traditional packaged goods markets; the techniques of good branding are just as vital in the business-to-business and utilities sectors, and are increasingly being applied even in non-commercial areas, from charities to football clubs. This comprehensive and authoritative book looks at branding from a wide range of perspectives: from the creation of a new brand, through the development of brand names and packaging designs, to advertising international brands. It explores the hot topics of brand valuation and brand licensing, as well as studying the increasingly important role of the corporate brand. This book is a must for anyone with an interest in brands.

This book contains 100 daily devotions to help the reader study God's word, and find encouragement from the Bible.
