In ancient times, a young Evergreen queen was faced with the impending Battle at Black Woods. Someone snatches the onyx-and-gold-rose honor about to be bestowed unto her. The Key Kell is missing. Some subjects suffer from a cold spell, and her uncle is injured. Her knight—the love of her life—disappears in a harsh storm just after a friendly neighbor is hurt in a hollow in the Daisy Meadow mist. Can the livestock be saved? Will the flowers arrive at the Kitty Lane Perfumery or will they be blown across the meadows? Will Rachael’s love safely return? Will she survive after being stricken? With charm, wise decisions, and a loyal following of the subjects of the Evergreen kingdom, Queen Rachael Adele will face these challenges without losing hope. She is a courageous ruler whose choices and tidings bring about changes to save her country and people, bringing happiness for everyone. In modern times, the queen’s descendants, the Rachael cousins, play important roles within their community where their royal ancestor once ruled and among their friends when some are injured in an accident or are in need of places to practice their singing and acting skills to further their careers and livelihood. The Rachaels and the mayor also wish to further address environmental issues within their community and celebrate others to make their village greener and more livable, and they reward friends for doing so with an ancient traditional surprise mentioned in the queen’s journal. A landslide causes peril, yet the discovery of ancient writings on family property thrills all in surprising ways. Can they once again host the Summer Solstice Cotillion fundraiser for the hungry while trying to solve the Key Kell mystery at Dragonfly Pond?

This open access edited book provides new thinking on scientific identity formation. It thoroughly interrogates the concepts of community and identity, including both historical and contemporaneous analyses of several scientific fields. Chapters examine whether, and how, today’s scientific identities and communities are subject to fundamental changes, reacting to tangible shifts in research funding as well as more intangible transformations in our society’s understanding and expectations of technoscience. In so doing, this book reinvigorates the concept of scientific community. Readers will discover empirical analyses of newly emerging fields such as synthetic biology, systems biology and nanotechnology, and accounts of the evolution of theoretical conceptions of scientific identity and community. With inspiring examples of technoscientific identity work and community constellations, along with thought-provoking hypotheses and discussion, the work has a broad appeal. Those involved in science governance will benefit particularly from this book, and it has much to offer those in scholarly fields including sociology of science, science studies, philosophy of science and history of science, as well as teachers of science and scientists themselves.

The privatization of security understood as both the top-down decision to outsource military and security-related tasks to private firms and the bottom-up activities of armed non-state actors such as rebel opposition groups, insurgents, militias, and warlord factions has implications for the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Both top-down and bottom-up privatization have significant consequences for effective, democratically accountable security sector governance as well as on opportunities for security sector reform across a range of different reform contexts. This volume situates security privatization within a broader policy framework, considers several relevant national and regional contexts, and analyzes different modes of regulation and control relating to a phenomenon with deep historical roots but also strong links to more recent trends of globalization and transnationalization. Alan Bryden is deputy head of research at the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF). Marina Caparini is senior research fellow at the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).

Startling new revelations about collaboration between the Allies and the German Secret Service. Based on extensive primary source research, John Bryden’s Fighting to Lose presents compelling evidence that the German intelligence service — the Abwehr — undertook to rescue Britain from certain defeat in 1941. Recently opened secret intelligence files indicate that the famed British double-cross or double-agent system was in fact a German triple-cross system. These files also reveal that British intelligence secretly appealed to the Abwehr for help during the war, and that the Abwehr’s chief, Admiral Canaris, responded by providing Churchill with the ammunition needed in order to persuade Roosevelt to lure the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor. These findings and others like them make John Bryden’s Fighting to Lose one of the most fascinating books about World War II to be published for many years.
