Book Description
Zero's Neighbour is Hélène Cixous's tribute to the minimalist genius of the artist in exile who courted nothingness in his writing like nobody else: Samuel Beckett. In this unabashedly personal odyssey through a sizeable range of his novels, plays and poems, Cixous celebrates Beckett’s linguistic flair and the poignant, powerful thrust of his stylistic terseness, and passionately declares her love for his unrivalled expression of the meaningless ‘precious little’ of life, its unfathomable banality ending in chaos and death. Poised between a critical essay and a textual performance across two languages adapting Beckett's own literary vein, this book will appeal to scholars, critics and creative writers as well as students of the ‘grey self-Sam’. Its allusive intertextual insights will also prove to be of critical relevance to readers of Dante and Proust, among other literary figures, as much as to those appreciative of Cixous’s own inimitable genius for dissecting the quintessence of the life and works of a ‘neighbourly’ artist.

Book Description
Across ages, art-pieces around ghosts' encounter with humans, have been dealt with by the artists in a perceptive overtone. If the arc of imagination would not go beyond human life, it was nearly impossible to settle at fictional realities like Ghosts. And even introduce a new kind oscillating between the humans and ghosts called 'Lesser Mortals' for the purposes of this narrative. In the narrative, the female protagonist falls prey to an untimely exposure to the supernatural world only after she shifts to a new flat numbered, 10. However, under the paranormal circumstances, the number 10 would mysteriously erase to display a puzzling figure Zero Upon Nine. And so the piece has been titled "Zero upon Nine". While many narratives come with tried and tested dabs to cater to the horror palettes; it is still rare to read any in an amusing mood. With the fear placed on the back-burner and humour on the front, the story drums ahead of the ordeals of the ghosts and those of the human lives. If so much has bottled up, an outburst or an explosion is likely. This novel, that has characters drawn from 'My Life a bumpy ride,' looks afresh at them and clears up the centre-stage for their sub-plots. But in my parting words, I must side with the notion that one must come back to one's own life. One that disregards the essence of supernatural elements and in the same spirit the story ends on loose ground. Nonetheless, it is not a prison cell that a book becomes ending with a deadlock. Do not marvel at the fact that the first two chapters are readable as a first-person narrative and the following ones in the third person. Ergo, I bid a warm welcome to the spirited readers who think they should break into the realm.

Book Description
The combination of the war in Syria and the rise of ISIS has increased the role of non-state actors in the Middle East politics. This is of particular concern for Turkey, on account of its long-standing concerns regarding Kurdish nationalism, particularly after the Syrian war, which provides Kurds with a significant role in regional security affairs. This book aims to examine the regional impacts of the Turkish government’s Zero Policy with Neighbors (ZPN) in respect to Iraqi Kurdistan. This has been achieved through an analysis of the impact on the ZPN policy of the following non-state actors between 2011 and 2016: The Syrian Kurdish group represented by the Democratic Union Party (PYD), ISIS, and the Kurdistan Workers party (PKK).

Book Description
First published in 1999, this volume presents arguments which compare two inner-city wards of Salford and look to introduce such a subtlety to the understanding of the management of crime in high crime communities and derive from a longitudinal research study which took place over a two and a half year period. Between 1994 and 1996, researchers based at the University of Salford and the University of Keele embarked on research into two similarly structured neighbourhoods within the city of Salford in the North of England. This research set out to situate an understanding of the risk from and fear of crime in a comparative, urban context – to uncover how people who live, work and go to school in designated ‘high-crime’ areas manage their routine daily lives and construct their own responses to ‘risk of’ and ‘fear of’ crime. The authors go on to highlight the similarities between these wards and other wards with which they have a clear resonance across Britain.

Book Description
Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R, second edition, is divided into two basic parts, the first presenting R packages, functions, classes and methods for handling spatial data. This part is of interest to users who need to access and visualise spatial data. Data import and export for many file formats for spatial data are covered in detail, as is the interface between R and the open source GRASS GIS and the handling of spatio-temporal data. The second part showcases more specialised kinds of spatial data analysis, including spatial point pattern analysis, interpolation and geostatistics, areal data analysis and disease mapping. The coverage of methods of spatial data analysis ranges from standard techniques to new developments, and the examples used are largely taken from the spatial statistics literature. All the examples can be run using R contributed packages available from the CRAN website, with code and additional data sets from the book's own website. Compared to the first edition, the second edition covers the more systematic approach towards handling spatial data in R, as well as a number of important and widely used CRAN packages that have appeared since the first edition. This book will be of interest to researchers who intend to use R to handle, visualise, and analyse spatial data. It will also be of interest to spatial data analysts who do not use R, but who are interested in practical aspects of implementing software for spatial data analysis. It is a suitable companion book for introductory spatial statistics courses and for applied methods courses in a wide range of subjects using spatial data, including human and physical geography, geographical information science and geoinformatics, the environmental sciences, ecology, public health and disease control, economics, public administration and political science. The book has a website where complete code examples, data sets, and other support material may be found: http://www.asdar-book.org. The authors have taken part in writing and maintaining software for spatial data handling and analysis with R in concert since 2003.

Book Description
We live in a dangerous world. And the stories of war and terrorism that fill our screens are brought to us by brave journalists who put their lives on the line. They will always face peril, but now they can work in much greater safety, thanks to the determination and dedication of one remarkable man. Tony Loughran's life has been all about risk - taking it, preventing it. He survived a tough childhood in working-class Liverpool, then joined the navy, where he excelled. Next came a career as an elite commando medic, a demanding role that required doctor-level training. He dealt with serious physical injury and a stint in Belfast left him with psychological scars. His life changed when he took responsibility for safety and security at the BBC. In his years with the world-famous broadcaster, Mr Death and Destruction, as he became known, revolutionised the protective gear and strategies used by foreign correspondents and introduced ground-breaking training that has saved many lives. Among much else, he provided the security for the notorious Martin Bashir interview with Princess Diana and protected Panorama journalists in Northern Ireland. Then came a new life in Australia and the establishment of his own security consultancy company, ZeroRisk International. The work is always challenging: investigating the deaths of well-known journalist John Schofield and cameraman Nazeh Darwazeh, escaping when he came close to being captured in Kabul, advising media during the Lindt Café siege and getting people out of Afghanistan when the Taliban returned. This page-turning, hard-to-put-down account of an extraordinary career is full of nail-biting excitement, engaging humour, compassion and brutal honesty. Once you read Zero Risk, the world will never seem quite the same again.

Book Description
This book offers a sincere look at the Supported Housing sector through the eyes of a former drug and alcohol addict, and prisoner, turned front line worker: Zayne is gripping the rail of a balcony on the 24th floor of the Pegasus hotel. His thoughts take him to his efforts of supporting vulnerable adults and the impact that Austerity has on these vulnerable people, and front line workers, in this sector of our society. He gives a hands on theoretical introduction of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to staff and puts theory into practice, working with real caseloads such as; Zachariah, an apparent racist and one time ‘angriest person in Britain,’ who finds his understanding of confrontation an excuse for excess violence, and TJ, with the vacant look of depression; despair in his eyes, unable to utter his own name, and suffers panic attacks to the point of chronic agoraphobia. A fascinatingly true story, entwined with parables and tales of his turbulent past; this book also offers Brief Intervention for drug and alcohol addiction, and an introduction, with easy to follow instructions to Mindfulness Meditation which is becoming increasingly popular in the western hemisphere as a stress reduction tool.
