Voortbouwend op een vooraanstaande carrière in de rechtshandhaving, inclusief leidinggevende rollen bij ernstige misdaadonderzoeken en de oprichting van gespecialiseerde eenheden, brengt deze auteur een uniek perspectief in zijn schrijven. Zijn verhalen duiken in de complexiteit van de samenleving en de vorming van individueel karakter bij tegenspoed. Door zijn werk biedt hij inzichtelijke verkenningen van rechtvaardigheid, verantwoordelijkheid en de ethische dilemma's die de menselijke ervaring vormgeven.
A hard-hitting and honest memoir from Michael Fuller, Britain's first black Chief Constable, who reflects on his astonishing life growing up in care and his extraordinary experience of the race and cultural barriers in his career.
It was the first time Michael felt judged based on the colour of his skin. Thirty-six years later, Michael became Britain's first ever black Chief Constable. That moment taught Michael he would always be searching for a place to belong.
The second edition of An Introduction to Literary Chinese incorporates recent developments in linguistics and has been expanded to include a lesson on Buddhist texts. Ranging from basic syntax to advanced pre-modern writings, the thirty-six lessons in this textbook provide students practice in reading a variety of increasingly complex works.
From the Canon of Poetry to the Lyrics of the Song Dynasty
Focusing on classical Chinese poetry, this innovative textbook offers a fresh approach by immersing readers in the original language's texture rather than relying solely on translated anthologies. It is designed for a diverse audience, including those unfamiliar with Chinese, aiming to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the poetic form through a more authentic experience.
