Academy Award winner for Best Costume Design
Set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, Cruella follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets.
One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute.
But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

Class arbitration first developed in the United States in the 1980s
as a means of providing large numbers of individuals with the
opportunity to assert their claims at the same time and in the same
proceeding. Large-scale arbitration has since spread beyond U.S.
borders, with collective arbitration being seen in Europe and mass
arbitration being used in the international investment regime.
Class, Mass and Collective Arbitration in National and
International Law considers all three forms of arbitration as a
matter of domestic and international law, providing arbitrators,
advocates and scholars with the tools they need to evaluate these
sorts of procedural mechanisms. The book covers the best-known
decisions in the field - Stolt-Nielsen S.A. v. Animal Feeds
International Corp. and AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion from
the U.S. Supreme Court and Abaclat v. Argentine Republic from the
world of investment arbitration - as well as specialized rules
promulgated by the American Arbitration Association, JAMS and the
German Institution of Arbitration (DIS). The text introduces dozens
of previously undiscussed judicial opinions and covers issues
ranging from contractual (or treaty) silence and waiver to
regulatory concerns and matters of enforcement. The book discusses
the entire timeline of class, mass and collective arbitration,
ranging from the devices' historical origins through the present
and into the future. Lawyers in a wide variety of jurisdictions
will benefit from the material contained in this text, which is the
first full-length monograph to address large-scale arbitration as a
matter of national and international law.
Published to mark the artist's 90th birthday, this is the first and only book to provide an overview of Bryan Organ, one of the world's great portrait painters. This book tells the story of Bryan Organ, whose works have been commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery more than any other 20th-century painter. It is itself a portrait, one that draws on his beginnings on the school cricket pitch and at art college as well as his time sketching others in recording studios, on the polo field and at the Elysée Palace. It tells the stories of his most important paintings, his friendship with Graham Sutherland, and his endless experimentation with movement, space and form. For the first time, it offers a contextual overview of his paintings, drawings, prints and sketches from the 1950s to today. Whether painting Prince Charles, Sir Harold Macmillan, Elton John, President Mitterrand or pigeon fanciers Mr and Mrs Sharples, Organ’s strategy is to find a point of contact with his sitters and get to know them. As this beautiful book illustrates, his acute powers of observation, his facility as a draughtsman and meticulous painting technique enable him to create a psychological likeness that feels like a real human encounter. Despite his success, Organ has always shunned the limelight. When his controversial 1970 portrait of Princess Margaret hit the front pages, he found it difficult to cope with the uproar and retreated to France. Some ten years later, his portrait of Princess Diana was slashed by an anti-monarchist, and Organ decided that enough was enough. Since then, he has continued to work quietly, but refuses to be involved in any exhibitions and avoids all press coverage. Organ provided unprecedented access to his entire archive for this book, the only overview of his illustrious career.

When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause
fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet
that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we
know our circumstances aren't going to calm down any time soon? By
regularly meeting with God and exchanging our worries and fears for
his assurances that he is using our difficult change for us, not
against us. Easier said than done? Not if you have Kristen Strong
alongside you as your understanding guide. Offering thoughtful,
humorous anecdotes and powerful prayers to recite, Strong invites
you to think and feel differently about change on the inside so you
can live and love differently on the outside. As the tender
companion she is, Kristen will show you how not to get over
difficult change but rather to get through it. She'll help you
acknowledge your change, give your anxieties over to God, and abide
well in the days to come--no matter what transitions life brings.
