The Forensic Analysis, Comparison and Evaluation of Friction Ridge Skin Impressions Perkins Dan G.

An accessible, highly practical introduction to the ACE framework Fingerprint Examiners use to analyse, compare and evaluate friction ridge skin impressions.When friction ridge skin (the skin on the undersides of the hands and feet) contacts a surface an impression of it may be left behind. Impressions that are left inadvertently, for example at a scene where a crime is alleged to have been committed are known as 'marks'. Impressions taken intentionally from a person, for example as a result of their arrest are known as 'prints'.The Forensic Analysis, Comparison and Evaluation of Friction Ridge Skin Impressions offers step-by-step instruction to examiners tasked with identifying people by the marks they leave behind. Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, this easy-to-use guide breaks down the ACE (Analysis, Comparison and Evaluation) framework into 10 key

What Babies Know: Core Knowledge and Composition Volume 1 Spelke Elizabeth S.

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers to this question shed light not only on infants but on children and adults in all cultures, because the core knowledge possessed by infants never goes away. Instead, it underlies the unspoken, common sense knowledge of people of all ages, in all societies. By studying babies, researchers gain insights into infants themselves, into older children's prodigious capacities for learning, and into some of the unconscious assumptions that guide our thoughts and actions as adults.In this major new work, Elizabeth Spelke shares these insights by distilling the findings from research in developmental, comparative, and cognitive psychology, with excursions into studies of animal cognition in psychology and in systems

Its Better to Be Feared: The New England Patriots Dynasty and the Pursuit of Greatness Wickersham Seth

Over two unbelievable decades, the New England Patriots were not only the NFL's most dominant team, but also--and by far--the most secretive. How did they achieve and sustain greatness--and what were the costs?In It's Better to Be Feared, Seth Wickersham, one of the country's finest long form and investigative sportswriters, tells the full, behind-the-scenes story of the Patriots, capturing the brilliance, ambition, and vanity that powered and ultimately unraveled them. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted since 2001, Wickersham's chronicle is packed with revelations, taking us deep into Bill Belichick's tactical ingenuity and Tom Brady's unique mentality while also reporting on their divergent paths in 2020, including Brady's run to the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raucous, unvarnished, and definitive, It's Better to Be Feared is an instant

God's Righteousness and Justice in the Old Testament Krasovec Joze

A semantic study of God's righteousness and justice in the Hebrew Bible that draws exegetical, theological, and philosophical conclusions about the character of God and God's relationship with humanity.God's work of creation and salvation for the good of Israel, humanity, and the world manifests the nature of God's being. Thus, if we can understand God's characteristics of righteousness and justice, we can better understand God.In the Hebrew Bible, these aspects of God are not expressed by abstract concepts but by semantic elements within literary structures. From this premise, Joze Krasovec undertakes the present study to put semantics into dialogue with exegesis and theology to illuminate exactly how God's righteousness and justice in the Old Testament should be understood.In the first part of the book, Krasovec analyzes occurrences of the Hebrew root

The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep: Practices for Awakening

Deepen your awareness through the Tibetan practice of sleep and dream yoga--both presented here in this "thought-provoking, inspiring, and lucid" guide (Stephen LaBerge, PhD, author of Lucid Dreaming)It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions.Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself. "If we cannot carry our practice into sleep," Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche states, "if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? Look

To Speak and Be Heard: Seeking Good Government in Uganda, Ca. 1500-2015 Hanson Holly

A history of a political practice through which East Africans have sought to create calm, harmonious polities for five hundred years. "To speak and be heard" is a uniquely Ugandan approach to government that aligns power with groups of people that actively demonstrate their assent both through their physical presence and through essential gifts of goods and labor. In contrast to a parliamentary democracy, the Ugandan system requires a level of active engagement much higher than simply casting a vote in periodic elections.These political strategies--assembly, assent, and powerful gifts--can be traced from before the emergence of kingship in East Africa (ca. 1500) through enslavement, colonial intervention, and anticolonial protest. They appear in the violence of the Idi Amin years and are present, sometimes in dysfunctional ways, in postcolonial politics. Ugandans

Lawfare: New Trajectories in Law Pinos Jaume Castan

This book develops a new conceptualisation of lawfare that recognises the polysemantic nature of the term.Drawing on theoretical developments from legal anthropology, international relations, and social theory, the book scrutinises the multiple dimensions of this phenomenon. It illustrates the multifaceted character of lawfare with a wide range of historical and contemporary cases from across the globe and analyses the implications of actors pursuing political objectives through legal means. This includes the use of lawfare by states as a legal instrument to accomplish geopolitical objectives, domestic lawfare, or the use of legal instruments to undermine internal opposition, and state lawfare used by governments to 'protect' the state from internal territorial-secessionist challenges. Finally, the book shows that lawfare is not exclusively a tool for hegemonic actors, as it

The Inclusive Management Strategy: Engineering Culture Change for Employees with Disabilities Fawzy Camelia M.

River Thames Dockland Heritage: London Bridge to Greenwich Batten Malcolm

London's docks were once the busiest in Britain. They had developed piecemeal from the beginning of the nineteenth century as the existing riverside wharves became too congested and pilfering became rife. Dock systems were built on both sides of the Thames. The largest group, 'The Royals' comprising the Royal Victoria, Royal Albert and King George V Docks, created the greatest enclosed dock area in the world. Changes in cargo handling methods such as containerisation led to all new developments being concentrated at Tilbury from the late 1960s, and the closure of the London docks, along with nearly all of the private riverside wharves and canal wharves. The London Docklands Development Corporation was set up to redevelop the dock sites. So what replaced the docks, and what remains to remind us of what was there before? This book follows the Thames Path, which has opened up much of what
