This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of
globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that
have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of
globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the
human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many
areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the
work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the
contributors with him. This book does not attempt to provide
answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book
discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive
from and are connected to the authors’ own research. The thematic
diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad
range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a
legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy
areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from
insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment
of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone
in this book. As a tribute to the life’s work of an
outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book
explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of
globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues
highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is
divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact
of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First
Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and
technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In
part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law
landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The
final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of
the editors.Â
The First Dwellers had reaped a harvest of annihilation for their
bankrupt ideals. A new world has arisen from the ashes. Pockets of
civilization have grown in a post-apocalyptic sword and bow culture
as the Second Dwellers recover information from the former world.
Will this new people rise to the challenge of pioneering a
better society or will they reap the same harvest at an intensified
pace? One group of men and women will rise to the challenge; to
strive and conquer their own inner battles and those that rage
around them in this allegory of paradise lost and found. The
journey begins ... on the "Road to Philadelphia "
""The Road to Philadelphia" is a novel presentation of the
greatest story ever told. The writer's great respect for the
characters and the original story is always evident as he moves
them into an apocalyptic setting. This is the best kind of
entertainment--a fascinating narrative which still respects the
basic truth. It works. I read it in one sitting."
--Al Taylor, Church of God Stewardship Director and author of
"Proving God."
This book offers a clear understanding of the concept of
context-aware machine learning including an automated rule-based
framework within the broad area of data science and analytics,
particularly, with the aim of data-driven intelligent decision
making. Thus, we have bestowed a comprehensive study on this topic
that explores multi-dimensional contexts in machine learning
modeling, context discretization with time-series modeling,
contextual rule discovery and predictive analytics, recent-pattern
or rule-based behavior modeling, and their usefulness in various
context-aware intelligent applications and services. The presented
machine learning-based techniques can be employed in a wide range
of real-world application areas ranging from personalized mobile
services to security intelligence, highlighted in the book. As the
interpretability of a rule-based system is high, the automation in
discovering rules from contextual raw data can make this book more
impactful for the application developers as well as researchers.
Overall, this book provides a good reference for both academia and
industry people in the broad area of data science, machine
learning, AI-Driven computing, human-centered computing and
personalization, behavioral analytics, IoT and mobile applications,
and cybersecurity intelligence.
The narrative of Uriah Barber is full of one cliff hanger after
another as Barber, veteran of the Revolutionary War, and his
younger step-brother Isaac Bonser lead five families across the new

pregnant, head south with their six children and nanny, lovely
Rachael Baird. Heading down the Susquehanna River with Isaac, wife
Abigail their four children, the Wards, Beattys and McAdams, who
were newlyweds. Two keelboats were constructed to float them down
the long and twisting Susquehanna to Paxtang, present day
Harrisburg, where they exchanged their boats for Conestoga wagons
and horses. Needing another man to pole the second boat, dark
handsome Shawnee scout Jacob Early was hired in Sunbury. When they
reached Paxtang he returned home taking with him the heart of
Rachael Baird.
Crossing the breadth of Pennsylvania on what is now Pennsylvania
Turnpike, they encounter everything from broken axles, tornadoes,
critically ill children, another pregnancy and a wagon tumbling
over the mountainside taking everything.
They finish their journey aboard an amazing three-story high
majestic keelboat named the Floating Palace. Just when they need
him most Early shows up to help them finish their journey on the
Monongahela, then the Ohio where they encounter sandbars,
underwater trees and river pirates.
The rest of the story tells how Major Barber settled in southern
Ohio and carved his name forever in the history of Scioto County.
The tale is full of passion, love, hope, humor and tragedy enough
for a Shakespearean play.
