Talia is a Hero of Pregeor. Or is she? Why are they trying to kill her? Who are her friends? Who are her enemies? Sunset in Silvana is the first book in a Science Fiction saga of intrigue, horror and adventure. Ruine is a devastated planet. Millennia ago, during the war between the Forerunners and the Ancients, its moons were pulverised to form rings, and most of its atmosphere was burnt off. With a thin sulfurous atmosphere, it was not an attractive prospect for colonisation, but eventually a hardy group of pioneers managed to make its single remaining fertile continent habitable. Now, tensions between the two major territories on this continent, Zelyna and Telphania, are high. War seems inevitable. Talia Milanova and her friends had, they had been told, helped to evacuate refugees from Pregeor - not that they recalled it, the trauma of the disaster having wiped their memories. Now, people were trying to kill them, and strange memories were beginning to surface. Who were they really?
Bartes diCherval and his team have broken their conditioning and escaped from their Zelynan captors, but at a terrible cost. Two of them were killed during their trek through Silvana, and a third may just have given her life so that the rest could escape across the border to Telphania. Now all they had to do was evade their enemies, both human and inhuman, long enough to return home and foil the plot in which they were embroiled, a star-spanning conspiracy whose aims and origins were a mystery. Above all, who - if anyone - could they trust? And what of their team-mate who stayed behind, John D'Arcy? Could he find a way to free himself and re-join his compatriots? And what secret was he hiding which might shatter the team? Twilight in Telphania is the second book in a Science Fiction saga of intrigue, horror and adventure.

"The book is much more than a simple 'introduction' to practice development; it provides an in-depth analysis of the governance challenges and should be read by all staff and indeed senior managers tasked with such onerous responsibilities."Journal of Interprofessional Care"I recommend it to all members of the multidisciplinary team in any clinical environment, whether or not there is a practice development presence. The book is well referenced, with useful diagrams and signposts for further reading. This complete read includes the application of practice development, how to measure success, and public and patient expectations. It also addresses litigation, changing cultures and how to motivate others."Nursing Standard"Rob McSherry and Jerry Warr provide essential information on practice development in this excellent book. It is well referenced, and includes many useful diagrams and signposts to encourage further reading."Nursing ManagementThe first in a new series, this introductory text outlines what is meant by excellence in practice and explores the core contemporary issues used to illustrate excellence, including evidence-based practice, clinical governance, and health and social care standards.McSherry and Warr offer simple and effective tools and techniques to support the development of excellence in practice. The book also provides guidance to support the individual, team and organisation in achieving excellence in practice. All topics covered are key to the Quality and Modernisation Agendas, and the book includes coverage on:Reshaping healthcare delivery Clinical governance Responsibility and accountabilityImplementing government targets and National Service Frameworks Public confidencePartnerships and collaborative workingEquality and diversityAutonomy Recruitment and retentionReal life practical examples and reflective exercises are used throughout to help the reader explore what excellence means in their everyday practice, as well as enforce the theory needed to inform delivery of excellence. An Introduction to Excellence in Practice Development in Health and Social Care is key reading for nurses and health and social care professionals, both in training and in practice.
The historic link between output (GDP) growth and employment has weakened. Since there is no quantitively verifiable economic theory to explain past growth, this unique book explores the fundamental relationship between thermodynamics (physical work) and economics. The authors take a realistic approach to explaining the relationship between technological progress, thermodynamic efficiency and economic growth. Their findings are a step toward the integration of neo-classical and evolutionary perspectives on endogenous economic growth, concluding in a fundamental explanation of endogenous growth that is both quantifiable and consistent with the laws of thermodynamics. For two centuries fossil and other sources of energy (work) have been replacing human and animal muscles. Now our civilization is truly addicted to fossil energy availability at ever low prices. Can increasing efficiency compensate for coming scarcity? This is the crucial question. The most important implication of this is that future economic growth is not guaranteed because the efficiency gains that have driven growth in the past may not continue in the future.Exploring the theory of growth with an emphasis on the role of energy, useful work and technological change, this book will be of great interest to academics and students focussing on growth theory, energy and ecological economics. It will also prove insightful to those concerned with policy making or responding to changes in policy related to the energy-growth nexus.

In the novel's Preface, the Author states: "In a few short words, the content of the book is this: A boy dedicates himself to the clerical profession with the fire of childlike enthusiasm, the youth goes astray in his profession, and the man, 'because not all flowering dreams ripened, ' has the notion of giving it up and 'fleeing to the desert.' Yet Heaven has decided otherwise. With resignation he comes back to himself and begins again to believe in his calling. Besides this, everything which is presented in the book belongs partly to the characteristics of the hero appearing in it, partly to the characteristics of our time chiefly with regard to religious, ecclesiastical, and especially clerical matters."

Das fiktive Dokudrama "Robert" ist ein Versuch, die Geschehnisse des Badeunfalls meines Bruders in Erinnerung zu rufen und dadurch sein Ged chtnis zu bewahren. Die erz hlerische Dokumentation will eintauchen in das kurze Leben Roberts (1937-1944), in die damalige Zeit (Drittes Reich) und damit auch in das furchtbare Kriegsjahr 1944, in dem sich der Badeunfall ereignet hatte. Mit den sp rlich vorhandenen Fakten soll der nicht restlos aufgekl rte Ertrinkungstod des Bruders aufge- und verarbeitet werden.
Zwischen Kriegswirren, Machtgier und Intrigen am k niglichen Hof begegnet Thronfolger, David von Tungston, seiner geliebten Anabel und erlebt mit ihr eine tiefe Seelenverwandtschaft, die sie auf unbeschreibliche Weise miteinander verbindet. Als er auf Robert trifft, wei er die Faszination, die dieser auf ihn aus bt, nicht zu deuten und ger t zunehmend in dessen Bann, ohne zu ahnen, dass er durch ihn in einen machtpolitischen Interessenkonflikt verwickelt wird. Erst als David erkennt, dass die Krone in Gefahr ist, trifft er eine folgenschwere Entscheidung.
