A modern author, a member of a wealthy family, a decadent dynasty, a re-established king and a disillusioned knight look for meaning in the murderous tumult of medieval Europe. The contemporary writer featured in the tale is commissioned to turn the century-spanning dairies of the noble Novak family into a book. To do so, he has to plumb the depths of debauchery, corruption and brutal wars in a medieval society that is struggling to define itself. He then falls in love with a noble woman and sees her killed by a villainous lordling. His revenge is horrendous, and his subsequent mysterious death is wrapped up in his fatal return to the East in search of the strange, unearthly woman of long ago.
Photography has long been used to capture events. His finest photograph was to cause them. When Derek takes an intimate photograph of his first love, he sets a sequence of events in motion that threatens them both. When he displays the photograph in public, she loses her freedom and he stands to lose the love of his life. Kidnapped by an extremist group, she faces a forced marriage and total denial of the lifestyle in which she thrives. To rescue her and redeem himself, Derek has to form an alliance with an unlikely source – the handsome rival for her love.

Alors que l''UEFA instaure le "fair-play financier" au sein des competitions europeennes de football, cette these se propose d''etudier les conditions de la legitimite d''un tel systeme de regulation financier. Ce travail a d''abord consiste a construire les concepts de regulation et de systeme de regulation puis a justifier de la necessite d''une regulation des championnats professionnels de sports collectifs. Les concepts definis ont ensuite ete utilises pour modeliser le systeme de regulation existant dans les Majors Leagues Nord-Americaines. Ils ont egalement permis de comprendre pourquoi un systeme comparable ne peut etre mis en place sous l''egide des institutions europeennes, obligeant l''UEFA, association de droit privee, a s''y substituer en instaurant son propre systeme de regulation depuis 2002. Enfin, le systeme mis en place dans le football francais depuis 1990 a ete modelise. La derniere partie de ce travail a alors consiste a determiner les conditions de la legitimite de ce dernier. Le systeme francais a, en effet, servi de modele a tous ceux qui ont ete mis en place dans d''autres sports collectifs en France ou dans le football europeen.
Fatherhood is gaining ever more public and political attention, stimulated by the increasing prominence of fathers’ rights groups and the introduction of social policies, such as paternity leave. Intimate Fatherhood explores discourses of contemporary fatherhood, men’s parenting behaviour and debates about fathers’ rights and responsibilities. The book addresses the extent to which fatherhood has changed by examining key dichotomies - culture versus conduct, involved versus uninvolved and public versus private. The book also looks at longstanding conundrums such as the apparent discrepancy between fathers’ acceptance of long hours spent in paid work combined with a preference for involved fathering. Dermott maintains that our current view of good fatherhood is related to new ideas of intimacy. She argues that in order to understand contemporary fatherhood, we must recognise the centrality of the emotional father-child relationship, that the importance of breadwinning has been overstated and that flexible involvement is viewed as more important than the amount of time spent in childcare. Drawing on original qualitative interviews and large-scale quantitative research, Intimate Fatherhood presents a sociological analysis of contemporary fatherhood in Britain by exploring our ideas of good fatherhood in relation to time use, finance, emotion, motherhood and policy debates. This book will interest students, academics and researchers in sociology, gender studies and social policy.

"A rich, quietly artful novel that is bound for deep water, with questions of beauty, power and spiritual navigation as its main concerns. The title refers not to the right side of a boat but to the right course through life, and the immense difficulty of finding and following it."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times A powerful first novel about life and death, friendship and love, as one young man must navigate the depths of his emotions. JASON PROSPER grew up in the elite world of Manhattan penthouses, Maine summer estates, old-boy prep schools, and exclusive sailing clubs. A smart, athletic teenager, Jason maintains a healthy, humorous disdain for the trappings of affluence, preferring to spend afternoons sailing with Cal, his best friend and boarding-school roommate. When Cal commits suicide during their junior year at Kensington Prep, Jason is devastated by the loss and transfers to Bellingham Academy. There, he meets Aidan, a fellow student with her own troubled past. They embark on a tender, awkward, deeply emotional relationship. When a major hurricane hits the New England coast, the destruction it causes brings with it another upheaval in Jason's life, forcing him to make sense of a terrible secret that has been buried by the boys he considers his friends. Set against the backdrop of the 1987 stock market collapse, The Starboard Sea Amber Dermont is an examination of the abuses of class privilege, the mutability of sexual desire, the thrill and risk of competitive sailing, and the adult cost of teenage recklessness. It is a powerful and provocative novel about a young man finding his moral center, trying to forgive himself, and accepting the gift of love.
