Updated to cover UML 2.0, this student textbook provides a
practical understanding of software design and development using
UML. Case studies are used to illustrate good practice.

saves time, money, and effort. Yet, development efforts
consistently charge ahead without investing sufficiently in the
requirements process. We are so intent to develop the technical
solutions that we are unwilling to take the time and effort to
understand and meet the real customer needs.

This clever and funny inversion on a classic fairytale from
award-winning author Bethan Stevens tells the laugh-out-loud story
of a damsel who does not need saving! Once upon a time, hidden deep
in a valley in a magical land far away, there was a very tall
tower. And trapped at the very top of that very tall tower there
was a damsel . . . In distress! The only problem is, the damsel is
not in distress. She keeps telling the narrator that she's
perfectly fine. The "terrifying beasts"Â in the moat are a
family of ducklings. The "prickly brambles"Â are her rose
garden. And the "wicked old witch"Â is actually her grandma!
But the narrator just won't listen. When a scary, fire-breathing
dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her
story and save the day for everyone. Characterful
illustrations transport readers to the magical world of the
damsel's kingdom, and easy to read text is perfect for young
readers. This funny follow-up to the prize-winning Grumpy
Fairies is perfect for any young damsel—or prince
charming—who wants to be the hero of their own story.
This illuminating book is a republican critique of the current
system of global governance and its failure to address key global
problems. With a republican account of international political
theory which transcends prevailing forms of global governance, it
develops republican forms of leadership and citizenship to inform
the creation of a stronger system of formal international
organisations. Republican Global Constitutionalism focuses on the
current challenges facing formal international organisations such
as the UN, the growing reliance on opaque informal international
organisations like the G20, and the inconsistent nature of
transnational civil society. As a unique contribution to the field
of global constitutionalism, the book provides an account of
republican international political theory that emphasises the
importance of extending the activity of citizens and
constitutionalism beyond the state, in order to support the
operation of transnational civil society and create a formal system
of international organisations. Providing a concise intervention
into the field of global governance, this book will appeal to
scholars and students in the disciplines of international
relations, political theory, transnational activism studies,
international law, and public policy. It will also benefit
policymakers and activists looking for alternative forms of global
cooperation.
When it comes to Irish America, certain names spring to mind
Kennedy, O'Neill and Curley testify to the proverbial footsteps of
the Gael in Boston. However, few people know of Sister Mary Anthony
O'Connell, whose medical prowess carried her from the convent to
the Civil War battlefields, earning her the nickname the Boston
Irish Florence Nightingale, or of Barney McGinniskin, Boston's
first Irish cop, who proudly roared at every roll call, McGinniskin
from the bogs of Ireland present! Along with acclaim or notoriety,
many forgotten Irish Americans garnered numerous historical firsts.
In "Hidden History of the Boston Irish," Peter F. Stevens offers an
entertaining and compelling portrait of the Irish immigrant saga
and pays homage to the overlooked, yet significant, episodes of the
Boston Irish experience.

This timely book provides a comprehensive overview of European
pension law with a dual purpose: both to introduce the legal
aspects of different forms of pension at the European level, as
well as to explore the main legal policy issues. Throughout the
book, the three main types of pension - state pension, occupational
pension and personal pension - are examined, together with the
issues of financing, institutions, solvency, stakeholders, and
rights and duties. The book therefore provides a nuanced guide to
the field, going beyond merely a paraphrase of European law or the
case law of the European Court of Justice. Yves Stevens also
outlines the main principles of European pension law, reflecting on
them from historical, sociological and teleological points of view.
The constant interaction between law, economics and social policy
is the reference point for the legal debates at the heart of this
book. Offering a unique insight into how the European bodies work
to bring about pension legislation, EU Pension Law will be a key
resource for scholars and students in the fields of financial
regulation and economics, European law, finance law and social
security law.
