A Brief History of the Lindsey Family
This book documents the history of the Lindsey family over nearly three centuries from the 1700s to the late 1900s. David Lindsey has drawn on a wide range of source materials including the diary of his great-great-great grandfather Samuel Watson written in 1852, the diary of Samuel's grandaughter Sarah Lindsey written between 1874-1911 and that of her son Charlie. It is also informed by a large amount of personal research. The Lindseys established and grew a truss and surgical appliance business in London, Brighton, Portsmouth and across the South East of England. They were involved in the church and in politics, becoming members of prestigious societies and establishing the Royal Surgical Aid Society. Lindsey Street in EC1 in the City of London was named after Mark John Lindsey who died in 1906. Many other families' stories are woven through the book including family trees for the Brackett, Harman, Fenwick, Starling, Tressider and Watson families.

Discourse and Practice in International Commercial Arbitration
It is increasingly held that international commercial arbitration is becoming colonized by litigation. This book addresses, in a range of ways and from various locations and sites, those aspects of arbitration practice that are considered crucial for its integrity as an institution and its independence as a professional practice. The chapters offer multiple perspectives on the major issues in play, highlighting challenges facing the institution of arbitration, and identifying opportunities available for its development as an institution. The evidence of arbitration practice presented is set against the background of practitioner perceptions and experience from more than 20 countries. The volume will serve as a useful resource for all scholars and practitioners interested in the institution of arbitration and its professional practices.

International Commercial Arbitration and the Arbitrator’s Contract
This book examines the formation, nature and effect of the arbitrators’ contract, addressing topics such as the appointment, challenge, removal and duties and rights of arbitrators, disputing parties and arbitration institutions. The arguments made in the book are based on a semi-autonomous theory of the juridical nature of international arbitration and a contractual theory of the legal nature of these relationships. From these premises, the book analyses the formation of the arbitrator’s contract in both ad hoc and institutional references. It also examines the institution’s contract with the disputing parties and its effect on the arbitrator’s contract under institutional reference...
Cloverfield
Upon its release in 2008, Matt Reeves’s Cloverfield revitalized the giant creature, a cinematic trope that had languished for over a decade. The film addressed the attacks of September 11, 2001, trading the jingoistic rhetoric of retributive military aggression for serious engagement with personal and collective trauma. It applied the horror genre’s fascination with personal stories captured by found footage to the grand violence of history. Innovative and intense, Cloverfield represented blockbuster filmmaking at its best. Cloverfield’s franchising followed the path of high-profile Hollywood properties. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the franchise, measuring ...

Quest for Evil
The Gift of Colors, if it is true and deep, is far more than art. It is the ability to pass from one realm of reality to another, to travel from world to world no matter how great the distance, with only the effort of a thought. In Quest for Evil: The Magic of the Key, artist Nigel Nessel flees a sudden thunderstorm into the extraordinary landscape of Atla. Armed only with his oil paints, Nigel joins easy-going Padwick and the intimidating Breegan on an exciting, often humorous journey to worlds unknown. Magic abounds and Nigel must learn to wield it if he is to survive the mission for which he has been chosen: to help defeat the ultimate Dark Magic.
