Seven Sinners. Seven Innocents. One Prophecy. Catherine De Sano is quite happy with her life, despite the trauma of her childhood. The last thing she needs is to be stalked by a devastatingly sexy man who's trying to convince her that her life is in danger...that she's being hunted by a rogue vampire. If it weren't for the fact that he knows how she spends her evenings she;d have had him arrested. Now she's stuck with him, whether she likes it or not. Darien Hawkwood has never met such a stubborn young woman before. The fact that she might be the key to an ancient prophecy seems to be having little impact and the instant attraction between them isn't helping him keep his emotions under control either. But he also knows that he needs her - more than she could ever imagine. As danger closes in around them and forces of nature are unleashed, Darien must turn his back on everything he's known if he's to protect Catherine - and give her the chance to fulfil her destiny.
This book not only highlights the risks associated with large-scale investment, but also advises on how governments can create an environment to attract investment that contributes to broad-based growth and poverty reduction in cases where land acquisition by large investors makes sense from a social, economic, and environmental perspective.
Questions about land control have invigorated thinkers in agrarian studies and economic history since the nineteenth century. ‘Exclusion’, ‘alienation’, ‘expropriation’, ‘dispossession’, and ‘violence’ animate histories of land use, property rights, and territories. More recently, agrarian environments have been transformed by processes of de-agrarianization, urbanization, migration, and new forms of primitive accumulation. Even the classic agrarian question of how the social relations of agriculture will be influenced by capitalism has been reformulated at critical historical moments, reviving or producing new debates around the importance of land control. The authors in...

The collaborative orco-management of natural resources - whether between states and local communities or amongst and within communities themselves - is a process of collective understanding and actions to bring about negotiated agreements on roles, rights and responsibilities for decentralized governance of natural resources. At heart, co-management is about sharing power, one of the most difficult but rewarding experiences in personal and social life. The book is designed for professionals and people involved in practical co-management processes, and distils a wealth of experience and innovative approacheslearned by doing. It begins by offering a variety of vistas, from historical analyses ...

« Je suis comme un ordinateur qui n’arrête jamais de fonctionner, même la nuit. » Le trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) est souvent uniquement associé aux enfants. Or, il affecte aussi et dans une large mesure, des adultes, tant sur le plan personnel que dans leur vie professionnelle. En effet, tous les enfants qui souffrent de TDAH ne s’en « sortent » pas et de plus en plus de gens s’entendent dire à l’âge adulte qu’ils en sont atteints. Longtemps, pourtant, leurs problèmes n’ont pas été pleinement reconnus. Ce guide fondamental réunit toute une série d’informations importantes et de recommandations pratiques. Comment le TDAH se manifeste-t-il exactement chez l’adulte ? La médication est-elle toujours nécessaire ? Quels sont les traitements envisageables ? Quelles sont les répercussions du TDAH dans les relations personnelles ? Et comment s’accommoder de ce problème au travail ? Rédigé dans un style clair et accessible, illustré par des témoignages, cet ouvrage pratique s'adresse à toute personne touchée de près ou de loin par l’hyperactivité de l’adulte.
This edited volume focuses on the attempts of various Caribbean countries to diversify their economies and societies. It is done in the context of political and economic difficulties that these countries have faced since the 2007-2008 economic crash and how successful they have been in moving their economies in a different direction. The contributors use very distinct levels of analysis in order to provide a nuanced view of diversification efforts in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Cuba, the French Antilles, and the Dutch Antilles. The book will appeal to academic researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and everyone who is interested in the politics and development of the Caribbean region.
