Essential Operational Planning - Policing a difficult world Planning Police, Close Protection, Emergency Firearms and Public Order Operations. A User''s Guide -''It takes an awful lot of hard police work to make nothing happen''. This publication is intended to provide operational commanders and planning teams with guidance based upon real life experience in the management of Close Protection Emergency, Firearms and Public Order Operations. All of these lessons learned were acquired in an environment where terrorists (of rival factions) constantly sought to exploit any weakness in procedures and take life. The book is deliberately short, it is an aide memoire, a field manual for those charged with the safety of Principals, the public, officers and employees in a dangerous world. Both pre-planned and spontaneous operations will be covered. They have similarities but they are not the same and as such bring their own challenges The importance of ''constant readiness'' and creating effective teams. Such teams should consider perfection to be normality in their operations and who employ a sense of ''professional paranoia'' in their planning. In this book we will show the reader how to: Manage intelligence Maintain operational security Carry out effect decision making in advance and during operations. This will also cover risk analysis Effect briefing Create effective command and control Maintain community policing (and as a consequence community support) Respond to the media Maintain audits regarding actions taken. We have sought to provide examples of how these concepts have been applied in real scenarios. The real operations that will be discussed include: Deceiving criminal and terrorist operators and maintaining operational security Building effective teams in a crisis and introducing innovation A spontaneous response to an aircraft emergency Working with Senior Command and International Agencies in an African State to prevent significant civil disorder Carrying out high profile search operations in an area where community tensions are high - but maintaining liaison with communities without compromising operational security. We hope you enjoy this publication and that it is useful. That was the intention when we authored it. If you wish to improve the professionalism of your operations then this is the publication for you. Looking back on our careers, we would both say, ''It wasn''t easy but it was worth it''.

Goddess as Nature makes a significant contribution to elucidating the meaning of a female and feminist deity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Bridging the gap between the emergent religious discourse of thealogy - discourse about the Goddess - and a range of analytical concerns in the philosophy of religion, the author argues that thealogy is not as incoherent as many of its critics claim. By developing a close reading of the reality-claims embedded within a range of thealogical texts, one can discern an ecological and pantheistic concept of deity and reality that is metaphysically novel and in need of constructive philosophical, thealogical and scholarly engagement. Philosophical thealogy is, in an age concerned with re-conceiving nature in terms of agency, chaos, complexity, ecological networks and organicism, both an active possibility and a remarkably valuable academic, feminist and religious endeavour.

"Masterful . . . The collaboration completes the Churchill portrait in a seamless manner, combining the detailed research, sharp analysis and sparkling prose that readers of the first two volumes have come to expect." - Associated PressSpanning the years 1940 to 1965, The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 begins shortly after Winston Churchill became prime minister-when Great Britain stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany. In brilliant prose and informed by decades of research, William Manchester and Paul Reid recount how Churchill organized his nation''s military response and defence, convinced FDR to support the cause, and personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped win the war. We witness Churchill, driven from office, warning the world of the coming Soviet menace. And after his triumphant return to 10 Downing Street, we follow him as he pursues his final policy goal: a summit with President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet leaders. In conclusion, we experience Churchill''s last years, when he faces the end of his life with the same courage he brought to every battle he ever fought.

Coach Paul Reid set out to write a memoir for his fellow high school football coaches and the athletes he had coached over the years, but the resulting book contains life lessons of value to anyone who works with or cares about young people and the formation of their character. There is something here of value for educators, parents of players, and hometown fans, as well as those who coach young men and women in any team or individual sport. From the perspective of 34 years at various levels of the coaching profession, Reid shares intimate personal experiences of leadership on and off the field. He offers a rare insider look at what happens in the locker room between games; the drama and challenges of creating discipline and teamwork; the often unintended consequences of parental involvement; the often perplexing examples of fan behavior, and the delicate balance between academics and athletics. Unlike many of the books written by former coaches, Reid does not just talk about success stories and the pinnacles of glory, but also describes the difficult moments when real learning, growth and insights take place. He also describes his own personal odyssey from a win at all costs mentality to a paradigm shift towards a systemic approach that balances personal development and preparation for life. He seasons this message with candid observations about growing up in a small town; the nature of true friendships, and the philosophy of competition and rivalry. Some of the stories in this book will make you shake your head, others may bring a tear or a laugh. But, whether you are a budding football coach, the parent of a player, or a true believer in your hometown team, you will come away with a deeper insight of what high school football is really all aboutor should be.

Universally acclaimed for their compelling narrative, their fresh insights, and their objective renderings of Winston Churchill''s life, The Last Lion trilogy presents a revelatory and unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and dynamic adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman. Born at the end of the 19th century when Imperial Britain still stood at the splendid pinnacle of her power, Churchill would witness the shift a few years later as the Empire hovered on the brink of a catastrophic new era. One of the greatest wartime leaders of our time, he would go on to stand alone, politically isolated in Parliament, as he took the lead in warning of the growing Nazi threat, and would lead Britain to victory against Nazi Germany and the Axis powers in World War II. Now, celebrated historian William Manchester''s landmark biographies are collected together for the first time, along with the eagerly anticipated final installment Churchill''s last years in power. More than thirty years in the making, The Last Lion is the definitive work on this remarkable man whose courageous vision guided the destiny of a nation during darkly troubled times-and who looms as one of the greatest figures of our century.

Thirty years ago the body of a young medical student, Joanne Boylan, was found murdered in a ditch in the Wicklow hills. Nobody was ever charged with her killing. Now, after all those years, new information has come to light which identifies the killer and Superintendent Harry Tinto and his small unit are assigned to re-visit the case.

This is the first full-length, published study of Beethoven’s songs. All the composer’s songs with piano are included, with full German texts and translations, together with comprehensive notes on the poetry and the music. The inclusion of unfinished songs gives a fascinating insight into Beethoven’s compositional methods. An introductory essay considers reasons for the relative neglect of the songs, the significance of Beethoven’s choice of texts, his crucial role in the development of German art-song and specific aspects such as choice of key. Throughout the book, poetic and musical texts are discussed in their historical context, and in the overall context of Beethoven’s life and music. It is anticipated that this book, like its predecessor The Schubert Song Companion, will encourage the performance and study of an important but comparatively neglected aspect of the work of the world’s most celebrated composer.
