Genetically engineered Daniel Henstock - codenamed Tiberius - hoped that with Gregory Dryden dead the Emperor Initiative would be leaderless, its interest in him forgotten. He was wrong, and only two months after the dramatic events in Staten Island they decide to strike. They kidnap Eleanor and tell her their truth about her father: that he tortured Daniel, and that the boy who claimed to be in love with her killed him because of it. Stung by the bitterness of betrayal she agrees to be the instrument of his downfall. Daniel is determined to finally bring the Emperor Initiative to an end but with his talents diminishing he acknowledges it's a task he can't accomplish alone. Miles Brennan and William Cross have to step out of the shadows to make good on their promises of help but in doing so they create powerful enemies. Daniel travels to the Initiative's overseas base but finds that Eleanor is trained and ready for him. Rescuing her and destroying the Initiative may not be as easy as he first thought ... TIBERIUS CROWNED is the final instalment in a thrilling young adult action/adventure series - The Emperor Initiative - that has been described as "Alex Rider meets Jason Bourne."

What might an interactive artwork look like that enabled greater expressive potential for all of the components of the event? How can we radically shift our idea of interactivity towards an ecological conception of the term, emphasising the generation of complex relation over the stability of objects and subjects? Gathering Ecologies explores this ethical and political shift in thinking, examining the creative potential of differential relations through key concepts from the philosophies of A.N. Whitehead, Gilbert Simondon and Michel Serres. Utilising detailed examinations of work by artists such as Lygia Clark, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Nathaniel Stern and Joyce Hinterding, the book discusses the creative potential of movement, perception and sensation, interfacing, sound and generative algorithmic design to tune an event towards the conditions of its own ecological emergence.

A Single-Source Digest of Updated QuantumThis work is the first attempt to provide a readily searchable single source digest of all reported awards of general damages since 1985 in non-personal injury claims, or, as appropriate, over a shorter period where there has been Court of Appeal intervention to lay down guidelines for cases where damages are "at large", such as Thompson & Hsu v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis in connection with the award of damages in claims against the police.

Mediation is now at the heart of many forms of litigation - from debt, contract and other claims in the Small Claims jurisdiction, through family law and commercial matters of every kind. However, most disputants coming to mediation are unlikely to be familiar with the process, simply because it is confidential and does not feature in popular culture in the same way as a trial in open court. Participants may therefore be nervous and wary of what may seem to be a strange procedure, particularly the idea that it is voluntary, non-adjudicative, non-binding until its conclusion, confidential, and driven entirely by the wishes of the parties. The responsibility for finding your own solution and taking your own decisions, rather than have a judge tell you the answer, is something participants will find strange - hopefully empowering and invigorating - but still strange. Andrew Goodman is the author of the leading work on advocacy in mediation for practitioners of law and other professionals. In this innovative and easy-to read book, he brings his expertise to help you face the key challenges in mediation. What is form of the the mediation I face? Must I use it? How do I prepare? What should my strategy be? What is the procedure? How do I deal with the mediator? How can we settle? Who bears the cost?

This book not only offers a practical and comprehensive guide to effective written advocacy, but provides worked examples drawn from real cases contributed from today's leading and highly successful advocates.
