Book excerpt: When it seems that all is lost, and you have no hope, Misplaced Loyalty can be fatal. Detective Patsy Hodge leaves her old life behind, and transfers to Bristol and a new job with the CID. Wanting to make her mark as a female detective she attends a suspicious death with her new boss; straight talking, no nonsense Detective Inspector John Meredith. Within days the body count begins to rise, as victims old and new are discovered to have died in the same way. Some could say the victims were merely party to assisted suicide, others may call it euthanasia, and many believe that either way it shouldn't be classed as a crime; but when it becomes evident that some of the victims were forced to accept a lethal injection, DI Meredith launches a major murder investigation which covers a period of over twenty years. As more victims are discovered, and the investigation gathers pace, someone takes an unhealthy interest in Patsy. Their motive moves from irritating to sinister when her life is threatened. But just how serious is that threat? Despite being surrounded by police officers, the case takes precedent, and Patsy even considers using the services of a private detective, who just happens to be friend and former boss of John Meredith. It's far from clear if this development is connected to the case, Meredith, or perhaps both. With ill feeling developing within the team, the motives of colleagues working on the case are brought into question. Excerpts from reviews for Misplaced Loyalty from Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk "I could not put this one down and can't wait to read more Meredith & Hodge adventures. Marcia Turner is now on my 'Favourite Author' list." "This was one of those books you just HATE to put down. I was intrigued from the first page and never felt like wanted to just throw it away as has happened once in a while. I think I read this one faster than any in a long time. I just couldn't stop. I loved it!" "I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept me on my toes and I could not wait to pick it up again to start reading it each day. Great author." "As the plot moves on the characters develop so subtly, that, almost without realising it I suddenly found myself fearful for them, smiling with them, then having finished the book, missing them! "I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and paced just right for a thriller. The characters, especially Meredith were very well constructed. The plot twisted and turned and the reveal at the end was excellent." "A sign of a good book is that it can make me laugh out loud, gasp with shock, and keep me up until well past my bed time - This book managed to achieve all three!!!"

Book Synopsis The Healthy Leader by : Anna Michelle
Download or read book The Healthy Leader written by Anna Michelle and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will guide you on a journey of self-reflection. It was created to help you identify your character strengths and weaknesses and to motivate you to create a plan of action to empower the leader within you and enhance your personal performance. Developing your character unlocks the leader within you and stabilize your gifts. Sometimes we place people where we think they should go. But the role of leadership is guiding them where they are destined to be. If we concentrate on developing our character first, leadership second, then our gift, we would see far greater results. During the character-building process, you will discover the leader inside you first. During that stage, your gifts are revealed. Many of us become so excited about the talents that we move out and walk in them before fully maturing in all stages. Your gifts are only the vehicles used to transport you into your purpose, which is your final destination. When a person doesnt submit to the character-building process, it causes them to rely on a weak gift. A person with a weak gift becomes a weak leader, and a weak leader will bring disaster to their team. Healthy leaders submit to the maturing process. They rely on their strengths and perfect their weaknesses. They are problem solvers who ultimately become change agents. The greatest problem solvers are those who are curious enoughto search for the solution.

Book excerpt: Economic and cultural globalization and the worldwide threat of terrorism have contributed to the resurgence of patriotic loyalty in many parts of the world and made the issues it raises highly topical. This collection of new essays by philosophers and political theorists engages with a wide range of conceptual, moral and political questions raised by the current revival of patriotism. It displays both similarities and differences between patriotism and nationalism, and considers the proposal of Habermas and others to disconnect the two.

Download or read book Literary Translation written by Jin Di and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it realistic to expect great literature of one language to be re-presented artistically intact in another language? Literary Translation: Quest for Artistic Integrity is a systematic delineation of a practical approach toward that seemingly idealist aim. A summing up of a career devoted to the study of literary translation enriched with the experience of translating between several languages, it offers a clear and thorough exposition of the theory behind Professor Jin's monumental achievement in producing a worthy Chinese Ulysses, illustrated with a profusion of enlightening and instructive examples not only from his own work, but also from that of many others, including some world-famous translators. This makes Literary Translation an invaluable reference to translators of literature between almost any pair of languages, not just Chinese and English. It will also be of considerable interest to teachers and critics of twentieth-century literature in English, to students of Modernism, to researchers in comparative literature and in comparative culture, and to teachers of language.
Author :M. Erceg Publisher :AuthorHouse ISBN 13 :1420895117 Total Pages :538 pages Book Rating :4.4/5 (28 download)
Download or read book written by M. Erceg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manual is standard practice from Tivo to tent pitching, yet blatantly omitted when we give birth and arrive on Earth. We are here now with no manual, swimming in a sea of peripheral information, our most basic and primordial questions left unanswered. Who are we? Why are we here? Just as we use a guidebook when visiting a new country for the first time, so too do we value a guidebook during our stay on Earth. The Book of Life Questions & Answers takes us under its wing on an inspiring, compelling behind-the-scenes tour of our world into the depths of our consciousness, navigating the mentality creating the various arenas of our society. By tying together the threads comprising these sectors in a way we can all understand, we begin to make sense of why we relate to each other as we do, why friction persists at the cost of global peace, and grasp solutions along our journey through the book. The shrouded, seemingly complex reasoning driving our human actions is finally untangled and quite beautifully unraveled. The curtains are swept back to plainly reveal how we have unconsciously created the framework of society as we know it today.
Book Synopsis The U.S. Naval Institute on Leadership Ethics by : Timothy J Demy
Download or read book The U.S. Naval Institute on Leadership Ethics written by Timothy J Demy and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on naval leadership and ethics with respect to the individual leader and how his or her values and actions affect military cohesion, mission success, and the profession of arms. Moving beyond the “right and wrong” of personal ethics to examine the broader field of professional military ethics, this carefully selected collection of relevant materials from the Naval Institute's vast collection of articles recognizes the range of experience, perspectives, and opinions that are found in the sea services and argues that diversity does not preclude acceptance of common core values and standards of performance within any unit. Included are articles by Adm. Arleigh Burke and Vice Adm. James B. Stockdale that speak from long personal experience regarding the topics of integrity and moral courage.
Download or read book Looking Back written by Joan E. Williams and published by Joan williams. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when there is the great debate in the USA about which countries interfere in other's democratic elections and a time of great turmoil in Venezuela, this is a most relevant and timely publication. For the current events in Venezuela, including the shortage of basic food, state sponsored terrorism, civil unrest, hyper-inflation etc. mirror conditions during the cold war era in the small nation state of Jamaica when they too experimented with socialism. It was during that period too that the Russian KGB, American CIA and Cuban DGI were all active on the ground trying to influence the outcome of their elections. At that time, the author Joan Williams and her entire family faced grave danger which forced her to have to temporarily send her children away, as she was determined that the socialist/communist threat which not only brought in its wake, many mass murders, numerous state organized massacres and even treason by a member of the then government which was at the time under the tutelage of foreign communist agencies, should not succeed in depriving her and her people of their freedoms. Williams who has visited Cuba four times since then, (the last being in 2014,) says she has no regrets about the activities she participated in and dangers she faced but remains sympathetic to the Cuban people who she reveals are deprived, browbeaten and hopeless, much as the Venezuelan people are becoming today. While the first part of this powerful memoir deals with the struggle to preserve their freedoms in Jamaica, Williams also shares with readers the devastating period she went through when she lost her only son. He was murdered when he was only 24 years old. He died when a vicious killer fired one bullet into his heart. Although this happened over two decades ago, in her book “Looking Back……,” she admits that it took her many years before she could even talk about the event without breaking down totally. In the chapter entitled “To Hell and Back” where she bares it all, she says in part “the worst part was the sleepless nights though, especially when I teetered on the verge of suicide. There was also the inability to eat for weeks on end as not only had my sense of taste gone, but it was as if no stomach existed at all. That is when I went through every event of my life trying to understand why such a terrible thing had happened to me, for I did think I was a good person and terrible tragedies should never happen to good people!” This gripping narrative by Williams takes readers through a roller coaster of various emotions including those which she had to confront when she looked back a few years ago and realized that all the evidence pointed to the possibility that her son was murdered, not by a “criminal” but by someone in the Jamaican police force in her country where the police are sworn to “To serve and protect”. She has provided a mountain of evidence to substantiate her claims. This strong lady has however been able to recover from all her tragedies and struggles and risen like a phoenix to say years later that she is now one of the happiest persons in the world! Certainly not because her son was murdered, for she quotes the late Rose Kennedy; “It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time-the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone” but because “I have come to realize that your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” This is definitely a powerful and timely book not only for women but also persons interested in history, politics, sociology and personal triumphs.
Download or read book Fair Cop written by Christine Nixon and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christine Nixon became the first female Chief Commissioner of Police in Australia, appointed to head Victoria Police, at a most crucial time—the underworld was in the midst of a bloody war, the spectre of terrorism was emerging as a powerful new threat, and there was a stench of internal corruption. In this frank and engaging memoir, Christine Nixon reflects on the journey of a woman deep into a man’s world, describing the experiences that shaped her commitment to a model of policing as a community service, committed to caring for society’s most vulnerable. She explores the challenges of managing a police force through a period of profound social and cultural change, explains the hidden tensions at the front line of politics and policing and exposes the poisonous culture war within police ranks. Fair Cop candidly shares the public and private stories of Christine Nixon—woman, spouse, citizen, constable—on a journey that encounters tragedy, corruption, ambition and humility. In its final chapters, it takes readers inside the events of Black Saturday, the disaster that would so cruelly scar the state of Victoria, claim so many lives, and test Christine Nixon as nothing before. It tracks the intimate story of her days before the Bushfires Royal Commission and recounts her efforts, as head of the Victorian Bushfires Reconstruction and Recovery Authority, to renew ravaged communities.
Book Synopsis Making the Military Moral by : Don Carrick
Download or read book Making the Military Moral written by Don Carrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical analysis, both theoretical and practical, of ethics education in the military. In the twenty-first century, it has become increasingly important to ensure that the armed forces of Western and other democracies fight justly and behave ethically. The ‘good soldier’ has to be not only professionally skilled but morally intelligent. At a time of relentless media scrutiny, the publicising of incidents of morally and legally unacceptable behaviour, such as the gross mistreatment of prisoners and the torture of suspected terrorists, can do much to undermine the credibility of those who claim to hold the moral high ground in any particular conflict. Written by an international team of academic theorists and military practitioners, this volume provides inter-disciplinary insights into the present state, and the future, of ethics education in the militaries of Western democracies. The contributors critically address the central question of whether such education is sufficient to prepare members of the armed forces to face the peculiar challenges of conflict environments that are now primarily ‘wars among the people’, in which the opposing combatants may have little or no regard for human life and fail to discriminate between soldiers and civilians when choosing their targets. Drawing lessons from recent examples of unethical conduct, this original book offers insightful and constructive advice, both theoretical and practical, as to how situations can be improved and on the means that could and should be employed towards this end. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, ethics and international relations.
