On the House
Describes the brutal 1933 killing of Michael Malloy, a New York City drunk, who was poisoned, run over, and left for dead in the winter weather by a murderous group of conspirators--including a psychotic cabbie, a syphilitic speakeasy owner, and a crooked undertaker--who had taken out an insurance policy on his life.
Graph Colouring and the Probabilistic Method
Over the past decade, many major advances have been made in the field of graph coloring via the probabilistic method. This monograph, by two of the best on the topic, provides an accessible and unified treatment of these results, using tools such as the Lovasz Local Lemma and Talagrand's concentration inequality.
The Witch Trade
Abby and Spike are drawn into a world of witches, hidden caverns, fabulous boats, captive children, lost parents, and a quest to find Ice Dust - the source of magical power. With their strange new companions - Captain Starlight, Benbow the giant albatross, and Sir Chadwick Street, flamboyant Master of the Light Witches - they hurtle through perilous seas, face fearsome monsters, and do battle with an enemy darker and dirtier than they could ever have imagined.
Experiencing the World's Religions
Experiencing the World's Religions is a leading seller because it successfully addresses what a person should know about religions, and why. Michael Molloy provides an exceptionally clear and compelling account of the teaching of the world's religions. The text covers all the essential material and goes beyond traditional approaches to personally connect students with the vitality of the great religions.
Koenig and Schultz's Disaster Medicine
This is the definitive reference on disaster medicine, outlining areas of proficiency for health care professionals handling mass casualty crises.
The Time Witches
In this great new adventure, we are reintroduced to Wolfbane, the escaped leader of the evil Night Witches. We meet him creeping through woods on his way to meet his dreadful mother, Lucia Cheeseman. Together they plot revenge on Abby, Spike, Hilda and Sir Chadwick Street, the heroes in The Witch Trade. Between them they conspire to summon up a long-dead witch who knows the secret of Time Travel, enabling them to go back in time to change the course of events leading up to the downfall. In doing this they learn all about the wonderful Ministry of Time, the Ministry of Coincidence and the wizards who run the whole show. This is an all-action follow-up, with plenty of humour, vigorous plotting and terrific storytelling - it is also a perfect stand-alone novel for boosting the reading confidence of children aged 8+. There are some outstanding set-piece conflicts - with an evil, giant spider, Baal, Wolfbane's familiar, a stunning secret underground railway and terrible villains.
Disaster Medicine
"This new volume includes Individual Concepts and Events sections that provide information on the general approach to disaster medicine and practical information on specific disasters. You'll also find an exhaustive list of chapters on the conceivable chemical and biologic weapons known today, as well as strategies for the management of future events, or possible scenarios, for which there is no precedent."--BOOK JACKET.
Running on Empty
The fall of Saigon in April 1975 resulted in the largest and most ambitious refugee resettlement effort in Canada’s history. Running on Empty presents the challenges and successes of this bold refugee resettlement program. It traces the actions of a few dozen men and women who travelled to seventy remote refugee camps, worked long days in humid conditions, subsisted on dried noodles and green tea, and sometimes slept on their worktables while rats scurried around them – all in order to resettle thousands of people displaced by war and oppression. After initially accepting 7,000 refugees from camps in Guam, Hong Kong, and military bases in the US in 1975, Canada passed the 1976 Immigratio...
The Impact of Feedback in Higher Education
This book asks how we might conceptualise, design for and evaluate the impact of feedback in higher education. Ultimately, the purpose of feedback is to improve what students can do: therefore, effective feedback must have impact. Students need to be actively engaged in seeking, sense-making and acting upon any information provided to them in order to develop and improve. Feedback can thus be understood as not just the giving of information, but as a complex process integral to teaching and learning in which both teachers and students have an important role to play. The editors challenge us to ask two fundamental questions: when does feedback make a difference, and how can we recognise that impact? This volume draws together leading international researchers across diverse disciplines, offering promising directions for both research and practice.
Contested Sites in Jerusalem
Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a series of books which collectively present in detail the work of the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, the role of UNESCO, and the major implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as archa...
