After setting fire to the Forever Sea and leaving the surface world behind, Kindred Greyreach dives below to find a Seafloor populated by roving bands of scavengers. Among them, Kindred discovers a familiar face working to save the Sea from the continued spread of the Greys and the ravages of the world above. But when Kindred finds herself at odds with them, she and her friends will have to use every power available to them-including their link to the surface world-to forestall disaster. Meanwhile, above, a boy named Flitch, son of the Baron of the Borders, finds himself caught in a dangerous political crisis as survivors from Arcadia and the Once-City arrive on the Mainland. When Flitch begins to receive messages from someone below the Sea, the denizens of the Mainland see it as a sign that ancient enemies from across the Forever Sea are returning. The resulting crisis forces Flitch and his siblings to flee, as they seek out the truth hidden in old stories.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Frühe Hilfen: Früh im Leben und früh im Handeln
Frühe Hilfen sind als wichtige Ergänzung der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe aus der aktuellen Hilfe-Landschaft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Andreas Eickhorst zeigt knapp, aktuell und übergreifend, welche systemischen Grundlagen und Methoden in den Frühen Hilfen eingesetzt werden können, und benennt anschlussfähige Arbeitsfelder. Auch Reibungspunkte kommen zur Sprache, handelt es sich bei den Situationen der Frühen Hilfe doch oftmals um eher ambivalente Beziehungen, da bestimmte Punkte – wie etwa das Präventionsdilemma oder auch die tatsächliche Freiwilligkeit der Teilnahme von Familien – noch ungeklärt sind. Es gibt bei den Frühen Hilfen ein riesiges Potenzial, das es auszuschöpfen gilt, bei gleichzeitig ungeklärten Problemen und Unschärfen.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Novum Testamentum et Orbis Antiquus / Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments: Der literarische Befund vom Altaramäischen bis zu den späten Midrasch- und Haggada-Werken in Auseinandersetzung mit den Thesen von Joachim Jeremias
Die Botschaft von Gott als Vater ist ein zentrales Element der Verkëndigung Jesu. Sie bestimmt Jesu Verständnis von Gottes Herrschaft und Reich, dessen Anbruch er proklamierte. Vor allem seit den Forschungen des bedeutenden Exegeten Joachim Jeremias (1904-1979) gewann die singuläre, in der jëdischen Gebetsliteratur fehlende Anrede und Bezeichnung Gottes als Abba in der Jesusëberlieferung besondere Bedeutung.Er erklärte sie als aus der Kindersprache stammende, familiäre und kindliche Anrede und Bezeichnung und deshalb fër jëdische Fromme bzw. fër das Judentum anstößig und ungebëhrlich. Abba wurde geradezu Schlësselwort fër das Gottesverständnis Jesu. Diese Deutung fand breite Anerkennung und weiteste Verbreitung bis heute. Zweifel an dieser Erklärung fëhrten zur Untersuchung des Sprachgebrauches fër das Wort "Vater" im gesamten relevanten aramäischen und hebräischen Sprachmaterial. Das vorliegende Werk legt ihre Ergebnisse vor, angefangen von altaramäischen Inschriften ëber die Targume bis zu späten jëdischen hebräisch-aramäischen Werken.

Pan Macmillan Limitations
Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defence lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife’s recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening emails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge? In Limitations, Scott Turow, the master of the legal thriller, returns to Kindle County with a page-turning entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingeniously, and with great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of the law, but of human understanding itself.

JOVIS Verlag Zusammenhalt braucht Räume
Die Rückkehr der Wohnungsfrage, die sich von den Problemen der Wohnkosten, der Zuwanderung und der Segregation herleitet, ist in der breiten Öffentlichkeit auf große Resonanz gestoßen. Das Wie des Wohnens hat erneut Aufmerksamkeit erlangt. Kleinbürgerliches Wohnen in einer abgeschlossenen Einheit, wie es sich in den 1920er Jahren etabliert hat, dominiert zwar bis heute, ist aber längst überholt. Dieses Konzept — Wohn-, Schlaf- und Kinderzimmer sowie Küche, Bad und Flur — steht einem Wohnen entgegen, das gesellschaftliche Integration, Teilhabe und Zusammenhalt fördert. Eine besondere Chance in dieser Hinsicht eröffnen Projekte, die interkulturelles, moderiertes und gemeinschaftliches Zusammenwohnen von verschiedenen sozialen Gruppen und Personen unterschiedlicher geografischer Herkunft ermöglichen: integrative Wohnprojekte. Die Autor*innen dieses Bandes haben einige davon ausfindig gemacht und in Fallstudien untersucht. Zusammenhalt braucht Räume fokussiert das Zusammenwohnen von Ortsansässigen und Neuzugewanderten.

University of British Columbia Press Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics
All advanced democracies have faced the pressures of globalization, technological change, and new family forms, which have generated higher levels of inequality in market incomes. But countries have responded differently, reflecting differences in their domestic politics. The politics of who gets what and why is at the core of this volume, the first to examine this question in an explicitly Canadian context.In Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics, leading political scientists, sociologists, and economists point to the failure of public policy to contain surging income inequality. Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market, and Canadian society has become more unequal. The redistributive state is fading due to powerful forces that have reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations.This volume demonstrates conclusively that action and inaction -- policy change and policy drift -- are at the heart of growing inequality, calling into question Canada’s record as a kinder, gentler nation.

Just World Books Lens on Syria: A Photographic Tour of Its Ancient and Modern Culture
Thousands of remarkable monuments and relics fill the land of Syria from the coast of the Mediterranean to its desert borders, dating back to the dawn of human history. The sites include: Bronze Age ruins, Roman temples and necropolises, churches and monasteries from the early Christian and Byzantine eras, Muslim forts and mosques, Crusader castles, and many more. When conflict broke out in 2011, these treasures were put at great risk and in subsequent years, many were destroyed in battles—some were even the intentional targets of extremists. From 2006–2009, American photographer Daniel Demeter traveled broadly throughout Syria, documenting the country’s warm and kindhearted people, vibrant markets, exciting landscapes, archaeological sites, historic monuments, and religious architecture. In seven chapters organized by region, Lens on Syria offers a unique visual experience of pre-war Syria and serves as an invaluable record of the country’s long history, rich heritage, and diverse culture.

Taylor & Francis Inc Neuropharmacology Methods in Epilepsy Research
There is an estimated 2.5 million epileptics in the US and perhaps some 40 million worldwide. As research has become increasingly molecular in scope, fewer scientists are trained in the US on basic, integrated epilepsy techniques. One frustration in neuroscience today is the application of state-of-the-art molecular biology techniques to inappropriate animal models of epilepsy - frequently resulting in inconclusive results. Epilepsy research will be increasingly undertaken by scientists well-trained in reductionist methodology, but who may be unfamiliar with integrated, whole-animal techniques. This situation appears even more difficult considering there has been no updated textbook on experimental models of epilepsy over the last twenty years - until now.Neuropharmacology Methods in Epilepsy Research describes fundamental methodologies and procedures in this field, representing the only detailed text concerning experimental models of epilepsy published in the last 20 years. This guide studies the reproduction of well-characterized and readily interpretable experimental models of epilepsy to which state-of-the-art molecular biology techniques can be applied.Each chapter features:Introduction - providing a brief background and historical account of the techniques and their use Methodology - describing equipment, solutions, species, electrodes as well as considering variations of techniques and stimulation parameters Interpretations - demonstrating the relevance of techniques to epilepsy as well as describing what exactly is being studied and how the data is appropriately applied to understanding epilepsyTopics include electroshock, chemoconvulsions, kindling, audiogenic seizures, focal seizures, and brain slice preparations.Discussions also include: Recently developed seizure models, including status epilepticus and massed trial simulations Influence of circadian and diurnal rhythms on convulsive activity Behavior al and cognitive deficits associated with anticonvulsant drug testing Technical approaches, i.e. slice models, microdialysis techniques, intracranial implant surgery, audiogenic seizure testing, kindling paradigms, and the rhythmic nature of seizuresThis unique text provides a thorough reference for the diverse methodologies within this area of neuropharmacological research - providing the basis for on-going cellular and molecular investigations as well as novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of epilepsy.

Johns Hopkins University Press Milton's Latin Poems
In this collection, esteemed poet and translator David R. Slavitt brings to life John Milton's Latin poetry with deft, imaginative modern English translations. While Milton is recognized as one of the most learned English poets in history, his Latin poetry is less well known. Slavitt's careful rendering brings Milton's Latin poems-many written in his late teens-into the present. He keeps true to the style of the originals, showing Milton's maturing poetic voice and the freedom he found working in Latin. On the Gunpowder PlotO, sly Guy Fawkes, you plotted against your king and the British lords, but did you intend to be kindand make up for your malice in this thing with at least a show of piety? Do we findan intention, perhaps, of sending the members of court up to the sky in a chariot made of firethe way Elijah traveled. Or do I distort the simple wickedness of your desire? Featuring an introduction by Gordon Teskey, this comprehensive English-language collection of Milton's Latin poems pays due respect to a master. Poetry lovers, Milton fans, and scholars of either will welcome, enjoy, and learn from this work.

The University of Chicago Press The Story of Sapho
Ridiculed for her Saturday salon, her long romance novels, and her protofeminist ideas, Madeleine de Scudery (1607-1701) has not been treated kindly by the literary establishment. Yet her multivolume novels were popular best-sellers in her time, translated almost immediately into English, German, Italian, Spanish and even Arabic. "The Story of Sapho" makes available for the first time in modern English a self-contained section from Scudery's novel "Artamene ou le Grand Cyrus", best known today as the favoured reading material of the would-be "salonnieres" that Moliere satirized in "Les precieuses ridicules". The "Story" tells of Sapho, a woman writer modeled on the Greek Sappho, who deems marriage slavery. Interspersed in the love story of Sapho and Phaon are a series of conversations, like those that took place in Scudery's own salon, in which Sapho and her circle discuss the nature of love, the education of women, writing and right conduct. This edition also includes a translation of an oration, or "harangue" of Scudery's in which Sapho extols the talents and abilities of women in order to persuade them to write.

McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research An Age of Experiment: Classical Archaeology Transformed (1976-2014)
What is Classical Archaeology’s place within the overall study of antiquity and the history of humanity? And what is its relationship to its kindred disciplines of ancient history, art history and Mediterranean prehistory? Forty or so years ago Classical Archaeology appeared to be a very conservative and rather niche area of scholarly endeavour.Then both prehistorians and ancient historians might have answered that Classical Archaeology had little to offer their respective fields of study. Since the late 1970s, however, the subject has been transformed, a transformation in which the example of Anthony Snodgrass has played a significant role. This volume brings together the work of Snodgrass’s former students; scholars who, while they could be variously classified as prehistorians, ancient historians, Classical archaeologists, Classical art historians, Classicists and modern historians, are internationally recognised scholars in their respective fields. Each contribution brings a unique perspective to bear on the current state of Classical archaeology and its place in not only Mediterranean but global history, art history and archaeology.
