Everyone breaks, that''s what they say about Titan. Everyone breaks. But not me. Not Rico Dredd. Not even when they cut out my lungs, injected every inch of my skin with cold-resistant polymers, plastic-coated my eyes and sealed up my mouth and nose. You don’t get to become Mega-City One’s top Judge without learning how to adapt, how to survive. I know the score. The prison is an unforgiving hell, but do your time, keep your head down, and you just might make it out alive. Then I was chosen for a rescue mission out on the surface, and everything changed. A dark secret was uncovered, and suddenly even I was pushed to breaking point.

After the Sov viral attack, Mega-City One is a mere shadow of its former self. The population has fallen from 400 million to 50 million and the infrastructure is devastated. Inundated with the problems that come with a large scale disaster, a hugely depleted Justice Department are barely able to maintain control. Legendary lawman Judge Dredd is on the frontline, distributing order amongst the chaos - but will the guilt he feels for what has happened finally lead to his demise?

"There is without doubt a great need for a practical and theoretical framework through which supervisors, primarily, but also supervisees can negotiate the relationship of supervision." "This invaluable resource book gives a brief overview of the history of supervision and its importance in initial and ongoing counselling training - reviewing both the British and US literature - and brings together contemporary themes and debates within supervision." "The author presents his own linear model of supervision, connecting goals, functions and tasks, and presents and analyses the seven tasks of supervision. A model for the management of the supervisory process is then discussed, outlining a five-stage chronology of the steps through which a supervisory relationship travels. Importantly, the organizational dimension of supervision is studied in detail and a number of supervisory formats (individual, peer, group and team) are evaluated." "The concluding chapter on ethics is an attempt to offer a model of ethical decision-making applicable to both counselling and supervision. It reviews in some detail the various responsibilities of supervisors. An appendix includes the revised Code of Ethics and Practice for Supervisors from BAC."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Sacra Gaea reminds us that we are but one small piece of a much larger puzzle, and that we are subject to the Wisdom and justice of the universe. We can only continue on our destructive path for a limited time before natural laws restore harmony.

At its heart, Awake at Work offers thirty-five principles that we can use throughout our day to revitalize our work as well as our understanding of ourselves and others. Carroll invites readers to contemplate these slogans and to use them on-the-spot, in the midst of work''s chaos, to develop clarity, wisdom, and inspiration.
