The world's most exclusive detective agency opens a new office - in Australia With the best detectives in the business, cutting edge technology and offices around the globe, there is no investigation company quite like Private. Now, at a glittering launch party overlooking the iconic Opera House, Private Sydney throws open its doors . . . Craig Gisto and his newly formed team have barely raised their glasses, however, when a young Asian man, blood-soaked and bullet-ridden, staggers into the party, and what looks like a botched kidnapping turns out to be a whole lot more. Within days the agency's caseload is full. But it is a horrific murder in the wealthy Eastern Suburbs and the desperate search for a motive that stretches the team to the limit. Stacy Friel, friend of the Deputy Commissioner of NSW Police, isn't the killer's first victim - and as the bodies mount up she's clearly not the last . . .

The financial deregulation of the last quarter century has meant large flows of funds around the world seeking the highest risk-adjusted return for investors. Real estate is now established as an important asset class and advances in information technology provide the necessary tools to complement global developments in real estate finance and investment. A variety of investment vehicles have emerged, andReal Estate Finance in the New Economy examines these along with financing and risk in the context of globalization, deregulation and an increasingly integrated international world economy by exploring questions like: How have real estate financial structures evolved as economies grow and become internationalised? What role do economic change and financial systems play in the development of real estate investment? Are the risks associated with the ‘new economy’ really new? What is the future direction for real estate financing? The authors develop an economic framework for discussions on individual financial products to examine how real estate financial structures change with economic growth and internationalisation and also to show how developments in real estate finance impact economic growth.

Tales from the Village Green - Collected Tales (Volume 1) brings together the first five of Michael White's well loved cricket stories, stories of friendship, heroism, and fierce battles on the cricket pitch. Included in this collection - Never Give Up After another poor performance, John is dropped from Welmsworth Seconds, and at sixty-one years old thinks his career in village cricket might be over for good. Then he gets one last chance to prove himself... The Substitute Mewteth Seconds are one player short for the game that could decide which team goes up and which team goes down from Cornish League Seven East. Mewteth's captain has found a substitute player, but only if Trevor, the captain of Ramswell Seconds, agrees. The guy has an unusual name, but what does it matter? He's never played cricket before... The Twelfth Man Kevin Green is his school cricket team's perennial twelfth man. On the unlikely occasions that he gets to play, he bats eleven, doesn't bowl, and fields at fine leg. Then one day, his form teacher, Mr. Woodhouse, asks him to play a real game - for Highfield's men's team. Kevin finally has a chance to prove he can play, but will he end up as hero or zero? Searching for W. G. Jimmy Wentworth is known as a stonewaller and has no chance of making the team for the Twenty20 Knockout Cup final. That is until he receives a mysterious message, and begins to grow a rather famous beard... Grandad's Old Bat Kenny is looking forward to trying out for his school team. What he's not looking forward to is using his grandad's tatty old bat. Used during his grandad's only first class century, Kenny isn't convinced that if he uses the bat special things could happen ... Michael White writes stories about village cricket. As a result each story is packed full of cricket terminology. If you don't know much about cricket then this book might not be for you. However, if you enjoy tales of simple heroism, you may find it worth a read.

The rock star Micky Stevens is convinced someone's trying to kill him, and believes Private are the only ones who can help. As if that wasn't enough, someone is murdering the wealthy wives of the Eastern Suburbs, in the most brutal way imaginable.

Wagner's operatic works rank with the supreme achievements of western culture. But acceptance of Wagner's musical genius is tempered by feelings of misgiving and many believe the composer's underlying ideas to be indefensible. A self-styled social revolutionary, Wagner thought the world could be redeemed through vegetarianism and Aryan philosophy. Introducing Wagner: A Graphic Guide separates the composer's art from the ideas and the arrogant destructive personal behaviour of the man.

”Det är inte personen som är problemet, det är problemet som är problemet.” Människor är inte fel i sig, utan de har i olika utsträckning mer eller mindre stora svårigheter att handskas med i livet. I vår tids tilltagande objektivisering av människor, där det i allt större utsträckning handlar om att söka efter fel på individen för att sedan åtgärda personen, kom den narrativa terapin med en teori och ett förhållningssätt som hjälper oss att hitta fram till en alternativ, fylligare berättelse om oss själva. Detta öppnar upp för nya idéer, ny energi och ger tillgång till resurser som finns men som ”problemet” förhindrar oss att använda. I Kartor över narrativ praktik sammanfattar och förklarar Michael White de viktigaste terapeutiska idéer och metoder som innefattas i den narrativa terapin: externaliserande samtal, om-författande samtal, åter-knytande samtal, definitionsceremonier, samtal som framhäver unika tillfällen samt ställningsbyggande samtal. Boken innehåller gripande fallexempel med detaljerade förklaringar och kommentarer vilket gör det lättare att förstå hur Michel White arbetade. Han är generös med att dela med sig av sina tankar och känslor vilket gör läsningen än mer givande, både för nybörjaren och den mer erfarna narrativa praktikern.

In the early 1920s, a group of Dutch artists and architects influenced by some of the ideas of Dada, formed a movement called De Stijl (The Style). The Story of De Stijl presents work by Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Gerrit Rietveld, and the other members of this influential group, as well as archival photographs of the artists. The authors - experts in this seminal abstract style that encompassed painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, and more - explore the evolution of the movement not just through traditional art-historical analysis, but also through anecdotes, conversations, articles, and other contemporary sources. With more than 325 colour illustrations, The Story of De Stijl makes clear the lasting importance and influence of this once avant-garde movement.

In all his years on the force, Detective Chief Inspector Pendragon had never seen a corpse like this one. After the initial horror, he recognised the reference to the surrealist painter, Magritte. But that made the crime even more sickening - accomplished with a sickening ferocity which placed it in another league from common or garden homicide.
