The old world order is fading. For generations, monarchs held sway, but now, the reins of power are shifting. Yet, whispers of a return to tradition are growing louder, and a bold plan is hatched to reclaim what was lost. At the heart of this ambition are three young individuals: Sergei, a descendant of a fallen empire; Kate, with a lineage of her own; and Katrine, tied to their destinies in ways they are only beginning to understand. Entrusted with their safety are Dominic and Christine, protectors whose loyalty runs deeper than duty.

This book examines mediation topics such as impartiality, self-determination and fair outcomes through popular culture lenses. Popular television shows and award-winning films are used as illustrative examples to illuminate under-represented mediation topics such as feelings and expert intuition, conflicts of interest and repeat business, and deception and caucusing. The author also employs research from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America to demonstrate that real and reel mediation may have more in common than we think. How mediation is imagined in popular culture, compared to how professors teach it and how mediators practise it, provides important affective, ethical, legal, personal and pedagogical insights relevant for mediators, lawyers, professors and students, and may even help develop mediator identity.
When I found out my wife, Christine, was pregnant, I had no idea what I was thinking or feeling, and no clue what I should be thinking or feeling. Christine had daily heart-to-hearts with her girlfriends and a stack of parenting books by her bed. I had lots of questions with no answers. So I started writing. It was either that, or try to ignore the whole thing – a choice that became increasingly difficult as Christine’s belly became increasingly swollen.Rookie Dad is the story of a young husband and father learning how to pay attention to his family’s changing size and shape. It’s a story filled with hard questions, with laughter and tears, and with the unexpected joy of first-time fatherhood. It’s my story – the story of how I became a dad.
Trapped in the frozen depths, and they're running out of time... Russia's new ballistic missile submarine is being deployed on its first patrol while America's newest fast-attack submarine, North Dakota, is assigned to trail it and collect intel. As the Russian submarine heads under the polar ice cap, its sonar reveals the trailing American sub and causes the Russians to begin a radical evasive maneuver. This fails and the submarines collide, sending both to the bottom. The Americans send a new submarine and a SEAL team to establish a camp and stage a rescue. But the Russian special forces team is also there, with far more sinister motives. As the men in the North Dakota struggle to survive, the SEAL team battles for possession of the submarine, and for their lives. Rick Campbell's Ice Station Nautilus is an epic battle above and below the ice, perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts and James Deegan.
