"If Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett had a book baby, it would be Pete "Being a vampire in Hollywood should mean livin' it up. Pete killed the bad guy, got the girl, and didn't even lose his job in the process - but it's never that easy, is it? Trouble soon rolls into town in the shape of Angie's deadbeat dad, on the run from a gang who practice the basest form of the dark arts.Now, Pete not only has to meet the dad and fight off a bunch of greasy New York sorcerers, there's also a new blood-drinker in town, and he's got his sights - and fangs - set on Angie. Looks like somebody's gonna find themselves on the wrong side of her vampire boyfriend.
"If Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett had a book baby, it would be Pete "While Pete worries about Christmas shopping for the first time since 1972, trouble-making vampire Christopher Greeley rolls back into Hollywood, looking for a taste of the greasy magic power that now courses through Pete's bloodstream - a power Pete's not even sure he wants. It might control his hunger for blood but the side effects may vary, including accidentally summoning ravenous, building-destroying monsters.A mysterious figure from the past could hold the key to controlling those side effects, but first he wants Pete to acquire a powerful greasy magic artifact (through less-than-lawful means, of course). And to top things off, Pete keeps stumbling into the leadership role and the other vampires would be happy to keep him there. Looks like Pete's hopes for some quiet time with his human girlfriend, Angie, are going to have to wait - again.
Pete's an uncool outcast vampire. But now an old evil is rising. The other vampires need a leader... Is Pete the one? Can he unite them to defeat the bad guy, or are they all doomed? Hollywood resident Pete Tyler is used to wanting what he shouldn't have - human blood - and what he can't have - a juicy cheeseburger, or the gorgeous Angie who serves those burgers down at the Starbucket on the Sunset Strip. Pete died in 1973 at the fangs of the sinister vampire lord Carson Fitzgerald, but he's learned to be comfortable with the lonely, if predictable, way he's survived since. But now Fitzgerald has returned to Los Angeles on a mission to enslave his vampiric children and make them feed his twisted hunger. Pete's gonna have to take the fight to Fitzgerald by joining forces with the prissy Hollywood vampires who have always annoyed the hell out of him if he wants to get the girl and avoid a fate worse than undeath.

Belonging, Identity, Time and Young People’s Engagement in the Middle Years of School

This book explores the complex ways in which belonging, identity and time are entangled in shaping young people engagement with the middle years of school. The authors argue that these ‘entanglements’ need to be understood in ways that move beyond a focus on why individual young people engage with the middle years. Instead, there should be a focus on the socio-ecologies of particular places, and the ways in which these ecologies shape the possibilities of young people engaging productively in the middle years. Drawing on extensive qualitative data from an outer-urban metropolitan context, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, education and policy studies.

The People's Liberation Army and Contingency Planning in China

All militaries have a responsibility to plan for contingencies, and China's military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), is no exception. PLA contingency planning takes place primarily within the General Staff Department's (GSD's) First Department, also known as the GSD Operations Department. China's seven military regions participate in drafting and reviewing the plans relevant to their areas of responsibility, albeit under heavy supervision from the GSD. U.S. joint doctrine defines a contingency as "a situation that likely would involve military forces in response to natural and manmade disasters, terrorists, subversives, military operations by foreign powers, or other situations." U.S. doctrine distinguishes between deliberate planning (advance preparation of campaign and contingency plans in non-crisis situations) and crisis action planning (rapid planning in response to a developing incident or situation). Deliberate planning is typically used to develop campaign and contingency plans for a broad range of activities based on requirements identified in strategic guidance for military commanders. Crisis action planning is conducted with less advance warning (hours, days, or up to 12 months) and focuses on developing alternative courses of action or refining existing campaign or contingency plans to adapt to current circumstances.

How will China use its increasing military capabilities in the future? China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens from Libya. The most recent Chinese defense white paper states that the armed forces must "make serious preparations to cope with the most complex and difficult scenarios ...so as to ensure proper responses ...at any time and under any circumstances." Based on a conference co-sponsored by Taiwan's Council of Advanced Policy Studies, RAND, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and National Defense University, The People's Liberation Army and Contingency Planning in China brings together leading experts from the United States and Taiwan to examine how the PLA prepares for a range of domestic, border, and maritime...
