Download or read book New Directions written by Liam Adair and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last operation for the UN, Alex Craven sustains a career ending injury. He does know how to tell Paul Blair of his decision to retire. As usual, Blair makes it easier for him by broaching the subject first. When John Gannon also decides to retire at the same time, then Blair must make a decision about his own future. These three have been a force to be reckoned with for very a long time, and Paul Blair tries to find a way to keep this small group intact. Blair has already talked to and accepted a post to be a special undercover agent outside normal law enforcement agencies and departments for the president. He would be the presidents ace in the hole. One way to keep this trio together would be to convince Craven and Gannon to join him and be undercover agents for the American president. Having agreed to join Blair in this adventure, their first task is to track and arrest two rogue DEA agents, in which the system seems to be incapable of doing. It is while doing this that Blair uncovers the fact that a multibillionaire with a god complex, one Vernon R. Foster, has decided to destroy first the presidency and then the government of the USA, and set himself up as the supreme leader of the United States of America. His reasons for doing this are to right the wrongs of the South, who lost in the Civil War. By his efforts in catching Foster, Blair unlocks a vast fortune in money and also a huge stack of small arms enough to reequip most of the nations police forces. Unfortunately, it is the motivation for Blair to retire gracefully from the field of conflict.

Download or read book Gender and Jewelry written by Rebecca Ross Russell and published by Rebecca Ross Russell. This book was released on 2010-06-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewelry responds to our most primitive urges, for control, honor, and sex. It is at once the most ancient and most immediate of art forms, one that is defined by its connection and interaction with the body. In this sense it is inescapably political, its meaning bound to the possibilities of the body it lies on. Indeed, the fate of the body is often bound to the jewelry. This study looks at gender and jewelry in order to gain some understanding into how jewelry is constructed by and constructs not just a single society, but human societies. It will explore how societal traditions that have sprung up around jewelry and ornamentation have affected the possibilities available to women across a broad spectrum of social and ethnic circumstances, determining which have served women well and which are constrictive and destructive. It also examines the possibilities for the intentional creation of feminist jewelry, including an overview of the author's own work.

Book excerpt: This edited volume explores how fashion brands deal with legacy by looking at the preservation of heritage and knowledge and how this builds a bridge to the future. Bringing together different reflections from the world of fashion, from gloves to virtual jewels, from luxury brand’s digital narratives to historical contexts, each chapter offers a narrative that is contemporary, yet linked to historical contexts. With these narratives, the book reveals how innovation builds on heritage, and how locally rooted traditional techniques connect to contemporary global production. It illustrates how ancestral processes renew, encouraging us to produce and consume more responsibly. Split into three parts, the book firstly covers narrative and knowledge in different contexts before delving in to narrative, brand building and creativity with case studies. The final section centres on digital narratives with new consumers. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that multidisciplinary knowledge of the past is essential to the understanding of the contemporary.
