Two apparently very different negotiators: a leading hostage
negotiator and a mergers and acquisitions dealmaker. One has solved
hundreds of high stakes sieges. The other has completed more than
sixty corporate M&A deals worth close to $1 billion. Neither
has ever perceived any of these successes as a personal victory.
This egoless mindset has allowed Kirk Kinnell and Jim Houghton to
explore the true value needed by others and thus present a proposal
in a way that greatly increases their ability to close a deal. In
The Work Smarter Guide to Negotiation Kirk and Jim have fused their
remarkable life experiences of negotiating in widely contrasting
situations to simplify complex issues and provide practical
solutions for all kinds of scenarios. They show you how to
negotiate towards your desired outcome dispassionately - even under
the most intense pressure - so that all parties get enough of what
they want and need to consider themselves victories. They show what
really makes the difference in getting successful outcomes for a
negotiation and how to apply their lessons on the spot. In
business, this equates to winning repeat business and making more
profit. In our personal lives, it means family harmony and better
communities. If you are booking a wedding caterer or finding a
builder for that long hoped-for renovation, it means seeing eye to
eye and helping everyone get what they need on terms acceptable to
them. And in hostage situations, it means saving lives. These
techniques work at the highest level, and they will work for any
situation the reader might face.
This Research Handbook is a multi-faceted, comparative analysis of
how law and political systems interact around the world. Chapters
include analyses of judicial deference, congressional support,
democratic representation, politicization of courts, public
support, and judicialization across multiple jurisdictions in the
United States and abroad. Chapters also investigate transnational
courts and the linkages between international and domestic law and
politics. Addressing these relationships from a comparative
perspective, the Handbook illustrates how different political
contexts lead to different uses of law and how courts respond to
divergent political environments. An impressive array of
contributors, and the editors, examine law and political systems on
a global scale through either country-specific analyses,
comparative analyses, or the examination of transnational
institutions. Scholars interested in law and courts, judicial
politics, the rule of law, and governance will find this Research
Handbook to be a valuable resource. It will provide a helpful
foundation for advanced students of both political science and law
and will be a useful reference tool for judges and those operating
in a judicial or political sphere.

Gary (Jason Segel), and Gary's girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams), to
raise the ten million dollars required to save the vaudeville
house. To get the money they hope to hold the Greatest Muppet

a ship captained by Abraham Smollett (Kermit the Frog - voice of
Whitmire) but it soon becomes apparent there are mutinous pirates

classic novel by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy Gale (Ashanti) is a

himself a hero.
A remote Highland castle. A dark and stormy night. A murder most

back-up and forensic support by the worst storm in decades, and

Former soldier. Ex-copper. Current man on the edge. Shunned by his
old colleagues, and dividing his time between a dead-end job and
the bottom of a whisky bottle, former Police Scotland Detective
Superintendent Bob Hoon's life is a mess. Then an old face from
Hoon's Special Forces days turns up asking for help: his teenage
daughter has been missing for months, the police have drawn a
blank, and he needs the kind of help that only Hoon can provide.
And besides, Hoon owes him one. From the Highlands of Scotland, to
the mean streets of London, Hoon's relentless hunt for the girl
will see him make new friends and encounter old enemies. Enemies
who know what happened to the girl. And to hundreds more like her.
But Hoon's been given something that makes him dangerous, something
he thought he'd long-since lost: a purpose. He may be a disgraced
ex-copper, a barely-functioning alcoholic, and a borderline
psychopath, but Bob Hoon still believes in justice. And he's just
the foul-mouthed **** to dish some out. From the pages of JD Kirk's
DCI Logan series, Northwind is the first in a new series of
action-packed thrillers for fans of Lee Child, James Patterson, and
Mark Dawson.
Some wars rage forever. It all started harmlessly enough. An egged
window. A deflated car tyre. A few garden gnomes knocked over. But
then, the silent calls began - late nights and early mornings, to
landlines, and mobiles, and to numbers that no one should have
access to. When photos of their sleeping grandchildren arrive in
the mail, three former Royal Navy Marines living in different parts
of the Highlands have no choice but to turn to the police for help.
And that is when the murders start. Brought in to crack the case,
Police Scotland’s DCI Jack Logan finds himself locked in a battle
of wits with a meticulously-organised killer. A killer who has been
planning all this for a very long time... In Service of
Death is the seventeenth book in the multi-million selling DCI Jack
Logan Scottish crime fiction series by author, JD Kirk. Perfect for
fans of Iain Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and Stuart Macbride.
Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original
publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of
the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The
significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the
only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays.
Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest,
Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and
corrections were made during the long printing process. Small
alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of
Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a
result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical
and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally
published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five
copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is
presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards
and Tanya Kirk.
