Lawyers and Mediation
This book charts the historical and current interaction between lawyers and mediation in both the common law and civil law world and analyses a number of issues relevant to lawyers’ part in the process. Lawyers have in the past and continue to play many roles in the context of mediation. While some are champions for the process, many remain on the fringes and apathetic, while others are openly sceptical or even anti-mediation in their stance. Yet others may have embraced mediation but, it is argued, for cynical, disingenuous reasons. By reviewing existing empirical evidence on lawyers’ interactions with mediation and by examining historical and current trends in lawyers’ dalliance with mediation, this book seeks to shed new light on a number of related issues, including: lawyers’ resistance to mediation; lawyers’ motives for involvement with mediation; the appropriateness of lawyers acting as mediators and party representatives; and the impact that both lawyers and the increasing institutionalisation of mediation have had on the normative form of the process, as well as the impact that mediation experience heralds for lawyers and legal systems in general.
God's Not Like That
USA Today Bestseller Many of us long for the abundant life Jesus promised, but instead we feel stagnant and frustrated in our faith. More of us cultivate our view of God from our family of origin than from the pages of the Bible—and a faulty view of God will always be a barrier to a satisfying spiritual life. In his unique and interactive book God Isn’t Like That, author Bryan Clark returns us to Scripture on a step-by-step journey to identify and then correct our misconceptions about God. This highly practical book helps us understand: Specific ways our childhood influences our beliefs today The difference between a grace-based value system and a performance-based value system How to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to personal beliefs Why even a loving and faith-filled family can inadvertently pass on false representations of God What the Bible says about how God intended Himself to be depicted in the home Abundant life has nothing to do with money or prosperity or health. Abundant life has everything to do with a right view of God that sustains us, comforts us, and satisfies us through every season.

Lost Virginia
Literally hundreds of Virginia buildings of architectural or historical interest have vanished. Most were demolished or burned, while others were abandoned as populations and needs shifted. The consequence is that important models of architectural accomplishment and key symbols of human aspiration and achievement have disappeared and are largely forgotten. Lost Virginia is an effort to document and reconstruct the appearance of Virginia architecture in earlier times, when the nation's destiny and history were intimately tied to the Old Dominion's landscape and buildings. It seeks to recover, at least on paper, an impression of our lost architectural heritage. Organized into categories of dom...

Sibling Constellation
In addressing the impact of family on an individual's social and psychological development, both astrologers and psychologists have tended to stress parental influence as the most significant factor. The sibling relationship, which also plays a vital role in determining who we become, has been largely overlooked. In The Sibling Constellation, Brian Clark reveals how a deeper understanding of our sibling connections can lead to key insights about our families -- and ourselves. Divided into four sections that explore the sibling relationship from different perspectives -- mythological, psychological, astrological, and practical -- The Sibling Constellation also includes an examination of birth order and gender influence; astrological cycles and their correspondence to the timing of a sibling's birth; and case studies that show what the horoscope reveals about sibling relationships. The Sibling Constellation is compelling reading for both astrological and psychological practitioners, and anyone who would like to better understand his or her individual and sibling development.

One moment, he was a young hockey star, a former first overall pick and Olympian who had a long, bright career ahead of him. The next, he was writhing on the ice, hi...
