1000 tulosta hakusanalla Ian Merkel
In 1969 Ian McHarg laid out a new approach to land-use planning. His seminal work, Design by Nature, blazed the trail for sustainable urban development. The road was paved with good intentions. But where exactly did it lead? And where do we go from here?Reconsidering Ian McHarg offers a fresh assessment of McHarg’s lessons and legacy. It applauds his call for environmental stewardship while acknowledging its unintended results. For McHarg’s idyllic developments at the edge of nature turned greenfield sites into suburban communities. They added to sprawl and made America more dependent on cars. And they may even have delayed the kind of urban redevelopment needed to make today’s cities more sustainable.

The essays presented in The Ian Willock Collection on Law and Justice in the Twenty-First Century by those who knew Ian Willock as well as those who have been inspired by his concerns represent the wide compass of Ian’s interests. These range from a concern with the development of legal regulation to the relationship between social change and the justice system, as well as his particularly interest in the limitations on the accessibility of the justice system. This tribute provides a microcosm of the changes and shifts which occurred in legal education and the legal profession in the years between 1964 and the current century. The profound impact of Ian Willock’s life work is evident through the wide-ranging essays in this collection.

'WARNING'Please be aware, that this book has Course Language, Sexual References, and descriptions of Autopsies andMurder Scenes.Ian Farrer, a former drunken New York Detective, who still has not completely rid himself of the evil drink, suddenly discovers that a nemesis from the past has caught up with him. He has moved on to a small country town and become the Sheriff of this closely knit community. As the story envelopes the characters within the town, it comes with murders, drugs, and human trafficking for prostitution and there are a series of other murders, that seem to be all connected in one way or another, but Farrer has trouble putting the full story together. There are also secrets within secrets which cause him to ponder are all the happenings connected or are they separate entities? He comes to believe, that the perpetrators of the crimes are high ranking officials and some very elite rich who basically own and run the town. Can he prove his beliefs or is he just hoping that this is what will be the outcome? At one stage he even suspects his own superiors could be involved as they try to block his efforts to solve the murders as bodies just keep appearing and there is a twist to the markings on the murdered corpses, involving a child's game, and Dante's Inferno of Hell and the 9 Levels to Purgatory, and this is just the beginning.Through the fog of his pickled brain, he starts to realise that the connections he needs to solve the case, all hinge back to an errant shooting and robbery gone wrong many years ago in his past. Now he has brought his past and demons to the town of Oemen Lake and with it, grief, and despair for all. Can he fulfil his duty and bring justice to the case as well as rid himself of his demons and those who terrorise this small town which is now filled with Mayhem, Murder, and Revenge?

Ian Barclay's journey from humble beginnings, building on grassroots junior tennis players' dreams, to his record of producing a Wimbledon Men's Singles title winner, over 20 Grand Slam junior title winners and over 40 national and international junior and senior title winners in two different countries puts him in a class to which others can aspire - going to the nth degree. For me, Barkers' greatest ability was to teach me how to win points. The time he spent watching me and the other kids at tournaments was phenomenal. Many teach the kids how to hit the ball but not many teach the kids how to play the game."Pat CashFormer Wimbledon Champion

Finding the brother turns out to be dangerous and full of surprises. Jon Strom, the older brother, is an out of work writer and editor, who was born in Sweden from American parents but lives now in New York City.

In memory of Lieutenant Ian L. MacDonald of the Black Watch, one of so many young lives sacrificed by the cruelty and tragedy of the Second World War. He was born in Scotland, but spent his early years in Chile before returning aged 13 to school at Loretto near Edinburgh (September 1936-July 1941). He died aged 21 leading his platoon in an attack on a ""farmhouse"" (actually a pill-box) near Goch, Germany on 25 February 1945, very shortly before the war in Europe ended. Photographs, explanatory footnotes and appendices have been added to the transcription of the handwritten manuscript which was written as part of the grieving process in 1945-46 by Alexander MacDonald (1894-1954), father of Ian MacDonald and grandfather of the editor. This is a true story which spans two continents, underlining the global nature and repercussions of World War Two for just one of countless families. ""Remembered with Love and Pride."" ""Lest We Forget.""

Twelve novels and nine short stories define one of the most extraordinary fictional characters of all time, creating the basis for the most successful movie series in cinematographic history, watched by more than half the world's population. The single person probably more responsible than any other for glamorizing the murky world of espionage is Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, who himself lived a remarkable double life of spy and writer. Everyone has an opinion on why 007 became so successful, but one possible explanation is the ingenious formula of fact, fiction, and sheer fantasy. Certainly the author drew on friends and places he knew well to provide the backdrop for his drama, but what proportion of his output is authentic, and what comes directly from the author's imagination? These questions and more are examined in the Historical Dictionary of Ian Fleming’s World of Intelligence: Fact and Fiction. This is done through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on actual cases of espionage, real-life spies, MI5, SIS, CIA, KGB, and others. It also contains entries on Ian Fleming's novels and short stories, family and friends, his employers and colleagues, and other notable characters.
