Caro Monday and her friends have become embroiled in a dangerous
art heist! When Caro Monday's mother disappears on one of her
jaunts, she has no choice but to go and stay with a miserable woman
that she's never met. Not only that but she's told that her beloved
rabbit, His Nibs, is not allowed to go with her. Luckily, Caro's
not one for following rules. With her rabbit in hiding, and her
wild behaviour getting her into trouble as soon as she walks
through the door, Caro is only going to find herself in deeper
water. In the lining of her suitcase is a small but extraordinary
painting of a thrush . . . a painting that some dangerous art
thieves are hunting down! Can Caro and her friends solve the
mystery of the stolen songbird and find its owners before it's too
late? Here ensues an exciting dash across London, with twists and
turns as plentiful as the cobbled streets which Caro and her
friends must navigate!

A comprehensive and practical guide to the mental disciplines of
high performance, from the performance psychologist who developed
the US Navy SEALs' mental toughness curriculum and has worked with
thousands of athletes, first responders, and business leaders. When
it comes to high performance, it’s hard to beat the US Navy
SEALs, perhaps the most effective military operators on the
planet. When they are on a mission, SEALs think clearly, stay
focused, and shrug off setbacks under very high levels of
stress. In this way they are like other top performers, the
athletes, first responders, and business executives who have risen
to be the best. These leaders may have superb physical and
intellectual traits, but it is the stuff going on above the neck
and between the ears that makes them excellent. The
difference between settling and achieving, between good and great,
between contentment and fulfillment, is based entirely on their
mental approach.  This approach isn’t innate; it is
100% learned. The world’s top performers aren’t born that
way, they learn excellence. So can everyone else, and Dr.
Eric Potterat can teach us.  One of the world’s
leading performance psychologists and a retired US Navy Commander,
Dr. Potterat spent over three decades working with thousands of top
performers from the military, sports, first responder, and business
worlds, helping them raise their psychological game. He’s
been the performance psychologist on teams that have won the MLB
World Series and the FIFA World Cup. In Learned Excellence,
he distills his insights into five mental disciplines for high
performance—Values & Goals, Mindset, Process, Adversity
Tolerance, and Balance & Recovery. Illustrated with
numerous stories and quotes from Navy SEALs, Olympians,
professional athletes, coaches, first responders, and business
leaders, Learned Excellence includes a clear set of
principles and practices that anyone can use.  We are
all performers, at work, at school, at home, and at
life. Learned Excellence provides the roadmap to help each of
us perform at our very best.
Why seek outside answers when you already possess the resources and
power you need? In a world moving faster than ever, the challenge
to stay connected to others, your visions, and yourself is great.

in the U.S. Air Force and later as an entrepreneur to interweave
the Native tradition of storytelling with practical key bits of
knowledge to live and learn by. By following Vanas's direction, you
can develop your talent and ability to better serve and defend
others. As a bonus, Vanas includes "Reflections and Breakthroughs"
space at the end of the book for you to record your own revelations

Conducting Research in Conservation is the first textbook on social
science research methods written specifically for use in the
expanding and increasingly multidisciplinary field of environmental
conservation. The first section on planning a research project
includes chapters on the need for social science research in
conservation, defining a research topic, methodology, and sampling.
Section two focuses on practical issues in carrying out fieldwork
with local communities, from fieldwork preparation and data
collection to the relationships between the researcher and the
study community. Section three provides an in-depth focus on a
range of social science methods including standard qualitative and
quantitative methods such as participant observation, interviewing
and questionnaires, and more advanced methods, such as
ethnobiological methods for documenting local environmental
knowledge and change, and participatory methods such as the PRA'
toolbox. Section four then demonstrates how to analyze social
science data qualitatively and quantitatively; and the final
section outlines the writing-up process and what should happen
after the end of the formal research project. This book is a
comprehensive and accessible guide to social science research
methods for students of conservation related subjects and
practitioners trained in the natural sciences. It features
practical worldwide examples of conservation-related research in
different ecosystems such as forests; grasslands; marine and
riverine systems; and farmland. Boxes provide definitions of key
terms, practical tips, and brief narratives from students and
practitioners describe the practical issues that they have faced in
the field.

This book aims to integrate different psychoanalytic schools and
relevant research findings into an integrated psychoanalytic theory
of the mind. A main claim explored here, is that a revised and
expanded ego psychology constitutes the strongest foundation not
only for a unified psychoanalytic theory, but also for the
integration of relevant research findings from other disciplines.
Sophisticated yet accessible, the book includes a description of
the basic tenets of ego psychology and necessary correctives and
revisions. It also discusses research and theory on interpersonal
understanding, capacity for inhibition, defense, delay of
gratification, autonomous ego aims and motives, affect regulation,
the nature of psychopathology; and the implications of a revised
and expanded ego psychology for approaches to treatment. The book
will appeal to readers who are interested in psychoanalysis, the
nature of the mind, the nature of psychopathology, and the
implications of theoretical formulations and research findings for
approaches to treatment. As such, it will also be of great value on
graduate and training courses for psychoanalysis.

White Eagle's teaching is an inspirational, spiritual message
bringing great encouragement and a clearer understanding of human
purpose. The understanding and love which the teaching embodies,
finds its roots in the Ancient Wisdom and, therefore, contains a
distillation of elements from many religions and spiritual
teachers, including Christianity, Eastern Religions and Native
American wisdom. However, White Eagle's 'voice' is timeless and the
depth of awareness and explanation, as well as advice, resonates
strongly with the needs and challenges of our modern lives.
Therefore, much of the material in the publications is not only
philosophical, but provides us with ways of approaching all aspects
of life in a practical, as well as spiritual, way. This famous
collection of White Eagle sayings has already sold over 400,000
copies. Following the Master within' is the theme for the sayings
in this book. This pocket-sized book seems to touch people from all
persuasions at the heart level (nearly half a million copies have
been sold). The sayings are not intellectual statements so much as
themes for further reflection - themes that give deep comfort and
encouragement. White Eagle's gentle words help the reader hear the
voice of his or her own heart. Each saying gives guidance on how to
bring peace and harmony into our lives. The secret of strength lies
in the "Quiet Mind". This much-loved book of spiritual guidance is
now available in paperback.

SMS Uprising provides a unique insight into how activists and
social change advocates are addressing Africa's many challenges
from within, and how they are using mobile telephone technologies
to facilitate these changes. This collection of essays by those
engaged in using mobile phone technologies for social change
provides an analysis of the socio-economic, political and media
contexts faced by activists in Africa today. The essays address a
broad range of issues including inequalities in access to
technology based on gender, rural and urban usage, as well as
offering practical examples of how activists are using mobile
technology to organise and document their experiences. They provide
an overview of the lessons learned in making effective use of
mobile phone technologies without any of the romanticism so often
associated with the use of new technologies for social change. The
examples are shared in a way that makes them easy to replicate -
'Try this idea in your campaign.' The intention is that the
experiences described within the book will lead to greater
reflection about the real potential and limitations of mobile
technologies. Edited by Nigerian activist Sokari Ekine, who runs
the prize-winning blog Black Looks, the book brings together some
of the best known and experienced developers and users of mobile
phone technologies in Africa, including Juliana Rotich from
Ushahidi in Kenya, Ken Banks of Kiwanja.net, and Berna Ngolobe of
WOUGNET in Uganda.
The murder of a personal fitness trainer draws DCI Bill Slider and
his team into a baffling investigation where nothing is as it first
appears. Fitness trainer Erik Lingoss is found dead in his west
London flat, his head smashed by one of his own dumbbells. His
heartlessly-dumped girlfriend, blood on her clothes and hands, is
the prime suspect. She had means, opportunity, and motive. But is
the case as clear-cut as it seems? Handsome Erik Lingoss had
clients in high places; and he seemed to engender powerful
emotions. If it was a crime of passion, there was plenty of that to
go round: love strong as death, jealousy cruel as the grave. Who
did he let in to his flat that evening? Where is his missing mobile
phone? Why is seven hundred pounds in cash stuffed under his
pillow? The deeper Slider and his team dig, the clearer it becomes
there's far more to this case than meets the eye.

This book offers the first major reassessment of the life and work
of Sir Henry Bennet, earl of Arlington, for over a century.
Arlington was one of Charles II's chief ministers and the book
charts his early years through to the careers of his descendants,
examining his political development as a courtier, diplomat,
linguist and politician. Authored by a series of experts in the
field, the book not only shines a light on his career, but also on
Charles II's reign as a whole, on the Cavalier court and on
Restoration politics. Arlington was a significant player in
international politics and this is reflected in the collection's
treatment of his time abroad in the 1650s, his central role as an
advisor and ambassador, and his influence in Ireland.

Bill Slider and his team face a mystery, when an unidentifiable man
appears to have committed suicide but all signs point to murder A
boiling-hot August day, and a handsome young man is found dead in
his bath, exsanguinated. Suicide is not, strictly speaking, a
detective inspector's business, but Bill Slider's colleague takes
one look at the body and calls in his boss. 'It don't look right to
me, guv,' is Detective Sergeant Hollis's opinion. 'But I can't
quite put my finger on it.' As Bill Slider investigates, he
reluctantly has to agree: the man's poky flat is too tidy, for one
thing, and smelling of fresh emulsion rather than, say, feet.
That's not to mention the method of death: a single slash to the
left jugular, when evidence soon proves him to be left-handed. But
as Slider and his team try to identify the man - whose personal
papers are missing, along with his wallet and keys - it seems that
the more they find out about him, the less they really know . . .
Jenna's life is perfect . . . perfect chaos! One lousy Monday,
Jenna loses her gorgeous job, her even more gorgeous boyfriend, and

to catalogue books for an elderly cousin, Kitty Everest, at her
country mansion. Horrified to discover that Kitty may be forced to
sell Holtby House, Jenna throws herself into a scheme to save it.
But when an attempt is made on her life, Jenna finds herself in a
race to save Holtby, Kitty - and herself.

Marketing communication is a dynamic industry, which continues to
change and adapt to new technologies, media consumption patterns
and communication interfaces between marketers and their target
markets. At the same time, the fundamental communication processes
and well-established theories and models are very much applicable
in this dynamic environment. This revised second edition blends the
well-established with the new and emerging aspects of marketing
communications. Marketing Communications applies a uniquely
practical approach to the topic, providing a structured overview of
planning, development, implementation and evaluation of marketing
communications, alongside detailed case studies that demonstrate
how the theory translates to practice. Fully updated, the new
edition considers important developments in the global marketplace.
It includes new content on emerging digital media platforms,
changing media consumption patterns and consumers' strategies to
cope with information overload. It also reflects upon consumer
scepticism, a growing phenomenon that communication specialists
need to overcome when designing and implementing effective
campaigns. This new edition also considers the importance of
marketing communications tools in not-for-profit sectors, such as
social marketing and political marketing, as well as the
cross-cultural aspect of marketing communications. This textbook is
essential reading for both students and professionals in marketing,
communications and public relations. Online resources include an
extensive instructors' guide, which provides answer checklists to
all Think boxes, Ethical issues and end-of-chapter cases within the
book. The text is also supported by PowerPoint slides and test
banks for all chapters and major cases.

Great Britain is one of the wealthiest, most successful nations in
the world. Why, then, do so many people feel short-changed? The old
assumption that `if you work hard and play by the rules, you can
get on in life' looks increasingly like a cruel joke.
Homeownership, secure employment and fair wages seem like relics of
a bygone era. Meanwhile exploitative workplace practices have
created a new serfdom, leaving many people trapped in unfulfilling,
underpaid work. At a time of huge political upheaval and
ever-increasing inequality, this powerful new book asks: how can we
build a successful economy, powered by a happy and productive
workforce that benefits everyone in the twenty-first century?
Examining representations of speech disorders in works of
literature, this first collection of its kind founds a new
multidisciplinary subfield related but not limited to the emerging
fields of disability studies and medical humanities. The scope is
wide-ranging both in terms of national literatures and historical
periods considered, engaging with theoretical discussions in
poststructuralism, disability studies, cultural studies, new
historicism, gender studies, sociolinguistics, trauma studies, and
medical humanities. The book's main focus is on the development of
an awareness of speech pathology in the literary imaginary from the
late-eighteenth century to the present, studying the novel, drama,
epic poetry, lyric poetry, autobiography and autopathography, and
clinical case studies and guidebooks on speech therapy. The volume
addresses a growing interest, both in popular culture and the
humanities, regarding the portrayal of conditions such as
stuttering, aphasia and mutism, along with the status of the self
in relation to those conditions. Since speech pathologies are
neither illnesses nor outwardly physical disabilities, critical
studies of their representation have tended to occupy a liminal
position in relation to other discourses such as literary and
cultural theory, and even disability studies. One of the primary
aims of this collection is to address this marginalization, and to
position a cultural criticism of speech pathology within literary
studies.
The clock is ticking for DCI Slider when a woman goes missing. Can
he find her - and does she even want to be found? "[Slider is] one
of Britain's most engaging coppers" Booklist Felicity Holland is
missing. She left her handsome West London house to go to her
weekly pottery class and didn't come back. She's a mature, sensible
woman with a stable home life and a happy marriage - no reason to
abscond. Her distraught husband is convinced she must have been
snatched. DCI Bill Slider and his team know that when a woman goes
missing, you have to move fast if there's to be a hope of finding
her alive. But with no evidence of foul play - nothing to go on at
all - where do you even start looking? The clock is ticking. But as
Slider tries to retrace the last known movements of Felicity
Holland, he is led ever further down a dark and twisted path into
the secret past of this beautiful, enigmatic woman. This
critically-acclaimed British police procedural series is a great
choice for fans of Catherine Aird, Ann Cleeves and Peter James. If
you haven't met Bill Slider and his team, why not start now?
