Fortuitous Encounters
We have all experienced fortuitous encounters--those moments in our lives--where a person, place, or thing caused our lives to change in a more positive direction. Our lives are full of what some have called serendipity, strange acts of fortune or causeless miracles. A favorite teacher inspires our choice of career, a chance encounter develops into love, marriage, and a new family. At the time we are most in need of a friend, one appears in our lives. We look at a mountain or the ocean and find meaning and peace, we read a book and an idea is planted in our brains that provides the wisdom we seek. The ability to experience fortuitous encounters is key to learning and growth. The more fortuit...

Secrecy and the Media
Secrecy and the Media is the first book to examine the development of the D-Notice system, which regulates the UK media's publication of British national security secrets. It is based on official documents, many of which have not previously been available to a general audience, as well as on media sources. From Victorian times, British governments have consistently seen the need, in the public interest, to prevent the media publishing secret information which would endanger national security. The UK media have meanwhile continuously resisted official attempts to impose any form of censorship, arguing that a free press is in the public interest. Both sides have normally seen the pitfalls of a...
Fortuitous
Keri Hart is a young rich widow with a lot of time and misery on her hands. Moving from the windy city and a family she loves dearly, she buys herself the ruins of an old castle in upstate New York. Myths, gods, and the supernatural are things she never has believed in, until they appear in her own back yard. Adonis, 'God of Desire', or so he says, steps through the gates of his world and lands in the middle of hers. He wants to show her desire, what he finds is something he has never believed in, love. But, can he reach her? Can he break through that wall of despair and show her that true love can find its way back if you just open your heart and believe? The Fates say no, destiny says yes.
The Venice Variations
From the myth of Arcadia through to the twenty-first century, ideas about sustainability – how we imagine better urban environments – remain persistently relevant, and raise recurring questions. How do cities evolve as complex spaces nurturing both urban creativity and the fortuitous art of discovery, and by which mechanisms do they foster imagination and innovation? While past utopias were conceived in terms of an ideal geometry, contemporary exemplary models of urban design seek technological solutions of optimal organisation. The Venice Variations explores Venice as a prototypical city that may hold unique answers to the ancient narrative of utopia. Venice was not the result of a prec...
