As the arbitration of internal trust disputes has attracted
significant attention amongst the arbitration and trust law
communities in recent years, this book provides a timely and
comprehensive examination of the ways of overcoming challenges
associated with trust arbitration. Rebutting arguments made against
the enforceability of trust arbitration clauses, it highlights key
traps for the unwary when drafting such clauses, and thereby
provides readers with the necessary knowledge to enter by the
narrow gate of trust arbitration, rather than by the broad gate of
trust litigation. Key features include: Guidance for the drafting
of trust arbitration clauses In-depth analysis of the European
Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and natural justice issues posed
by trust arbitration Comparisons between several commonwealth
jurisdictions to determine how trust arbitration could work in each
system Analysis and commentary on multiple common law trust
arbitration statutes, as well as relevant international treaties,
including the Hague Trust Convention and the New York Convention
Arbitrators, private client lawyers, trust professionals and
scholars will greatly benefit from the detailed analysis and
commentary in this book. Accessible in style, it will also prove
invaluable to students of arbitration or trust law.
Ukraine’s remarkable aptitude for resilience and grassroots
activism, as witnessed since February 2022, is closely connected to
a process that began with the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013-14,
when over two million Ukrainians took to the streets in defense of
democracy and human rights. In the months directly following the
Revolution, Russia illegally occupied Ukraine’s Crimean
Peninsula, and began funneling both arms and troops into the
eastern region of Donbas to fuel a conflict between the Ukrainian
army and a small group of radical separatists. Since that time,
Ukrainians have been working diligently to build the society in
which they have wanted to live, all while fighting Russia and its
proxies in Europe’s forgotten war. Ukrainian New Drama After the
Euromaidan Revolution brings together key works from the
country’s impressively generative post-Revolutionary period, many
of them published here in English for the first time. As well as
established voices from the European theatre repertoire such as
Natalka Vorozhbyt and Maksym Kurochkin, this collection also
features iconic plays from Ukraine’s post-Maidan generation of
playwrights Natalka Blok, Andrii Bondarenko, Anastsiia Kosodii,
Lena Lagushonkova, Olha Matsiupa, and Kateryna Penkova. Considered
together, these plays reflect the diversity of voices in Ukraine as
a country seeking to comprehend both the personal and political
consequences of the Revolution, the war, and all that has come
since. A key element to the remarkable culture of defiance and
resistance that Ukrainians created in these years has been new
approaches to arts activism, particularly in the performing arts.
In the eight years between Euromaidan and the full-scale invasion,
Ukraine witnessed an incredible boom in socially engaged
performance practice. Playwriting in particular has become an
essential genre through which artists have sought to bear witness
to the repercussions of the war and to create spaces for the
reclaiming of historical and cultural narratives; Ukrainian New
Drama After the Euromaidan Revolution captures this spirit and
published this necessary and vital work in English for the very
first time.

Gourmands and health-conscious consumers alike have fallen for
fish; last year per capita consumption in the United States hit an
all-time high. Packed with nutrients and naturally low in fat, fish
is the last animal we can still eat in good conscience. Or can
we?
In this vivid, eye-opening book--first published in the UK to
wide acclaim and now extensively revised for an American
audience--environmental journalist Charles Clover argues that our
passion for fish is unsustainable. Seventy-five percent of the
world's fish stocks are now fully exploited or overfished; the most
popular varieties risk extinction within the next few decades.
Clover trawls the globe for answers, from Tokyo's sumptuous fish
market to the heart of New England's fishing industry. He joins
hardy sailors on high-tech boats, interviews top chefs whose menu
selections can influence the fate of entire species, and examines
the ineffective organizations charged with regulating the world's
fisheries. Along the way he argues that governments as well as
consumers can take steps to reverse this disturbing trend before
it's too late. The price of a mouthwatering fillet of Chilean sea
bass may seem outrageous, but "The End of the Line" shows its real
cost to the ecosystem is far greater.
Be enchanted by the beautiful birdsong which can be found across
Europe. With 24 different bird calls and eight habitats to explore,
there is so much to learn about these brilliant animals. Stunning
artwork from Clover Robin brings to life this mesmerising part of
nature. Budding birders will love delving into each habitat and
finding out fascinating facts about the birds which live there.
Learn how to identify the call of a song thrush and the markings of
a Moorhen. Find out which bird nests in holes in the ground and
which makes its home in holes in the trees. Familiar locations such
as marshes, woodlands, towns and gardens become treasure troves of
brilliant birds. Elegant collage artwork from Clover Robin makes
this the perfect book for little nature enthusiasts.

Collapsing from the grief of not being loved, twenty years old,
Clover Greene was committed to psychiatry. Just as after any horror
to horrible to be real, after four electric shocks, Greene
developed hysterical amnesia, vaguely remembering being locked up
by psychiatry. Psychiatry, America's Holocaust: The Twelve Steps
Curing Mental Illness, Developing the Nonviolent Adult Mind
chronicles author Clover Greene's journey back from the precipice
of suicidal and homicidal terror. It is a collection of Greene's
thoughts, original poetry, and helpful information designed to help
the reader to better understand the ups and downs of recovering
from mental illness. Over a period of time, Greene was recommitted
through psychiatry and forced to take drugs. Unable to escape to
the outside, Greene's suppressed feelings of confusion periodically
built up and exploded into suicidal and homicidal drug rages. Real
doctors in real hospitals saved Greene's life from suicide attempts
and the life-threatening physical damage caused by psychiatric
drugs. After thirty-one years under a psychiatrist's care, Greene
was incredibly still alive, saved by a twelvestep program and the
support of others in the same position.
In this memoir, Greene shares the harrowing account of escaping
psychiatry alive and being reborn in the spirit of love.

A fascinating study of the motivations behind the political
activities and philosophies of Putin's government in Russia "Part
intellectual history, part portrait gallery . . . Black Wind, White
Snow traces the background to Putin's ideas with verve and
clarity."-Geoffrey Hosking, Financial Times "Required reading. This
is a vivid, panoramic history of bad ideas, chasing the metastasis
of the doctrine known as Eurasianism. . . . Reading Charles Clover
will help you understand the world of lies and delusions that is
Eurasia."-Ben Judah, Standpoint A powerful strain of Russian
nationalism now lies at the heart of the Kremlin's political
thinking: "Eurasianism". But how did this dangerous ideology, once
a fringe theory, come to dominate Moscow's elite? Promoted most
notably in recent years by Alexander Dugin, this theory has become
the driving force behind the invasion of Ukraine and the perplexing
manoeuvrings of Putin's Russia. In this fascinating investigation,
Charles Clover, an award-winning journalist, traces Eurasianism's
origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe,
through Siberia's Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution
of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady
infiltration of the governing elite. Based on extensive research
and dozens of interviews with Putin's close advisers, this
eye-opening account is essential reading to understand Russia's
past century - and the dangers of our present political moment.
The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowski sisters and produced
by Joel Silver, was a true end-of-the-millennium movie, a statement
of the American zeitgeist, and, as the original film in a
blockbusting franchise, a prognosis for the future of big-budget
Hollywood film-making. Starring Keanu Reeves as Neo, a computer
programmer transformed into a messianic freedom fighter, The Matrix
blends science fiction with conspiracy thriller conventions and
outlandish martial arts created with groundbreaking digital
techniques. A box-office triumph, the film was no populist
confection: its blatant allusions to highbrow contemporary
philosophy added to its appeal as a mystery to be decoded. In this
compelling study, Joshua Clover undertakes the task of decoding the
film. Examining The Matrix's digital effects and how they were
achieved, he shows how the film represents a melding of cinema and
video games (the greatest commercial threat to have faced Hollywood
since the advent of television) and achieves a hybrid kind of
immersive entertainment. He also unpacks the movie's references to
philosophy, showing how The Matrix ultimately expresses the crisis
American culture faced at the end of the 1990s.
