"A drawn sword lay on the table, with its point towards Alys. She looked at it and shivered, not only with cold. There were ten of the family around the table in the high, dark room. Their emotions seemed to Alys to vibrate in the air just as the light from the many candles shimmered and shook. There seemed to be anger there, and grief." Set in the fourteenth century, amidst the Peasants' Revolt and the Great Plague, this is the story of a spirited young girl torn between two hostile families. She is Alys, the Peace Child.

'Come here, George,' she called.'I want you here. Please, George, Come.' And the ghost came. Whenever she asked him, he always appeared at once, smiling and quiet, eager to play. In the early days, he usually came when called. Florence never asked him where he came from or went to; it was enough that she had a companion to play with all through the holidays. But the time came when George appeared when Florence did not call him. And the time came when Goerge would not go away but kept on coming, all through a haunted year...

This new study analyzes Soviet political and economic policies toward East Germany from 1945 to 1955, focusing on the transition from ambivalence to support. In her introduction Phillips outlines the postwar situation and reviews differing interpretations of Soviet policy. She reviews the issues of postwar settlement relating to East Germany and describes the conflicts within the Soviet leadership over German policy. Discussing Soviet economic exploitation of Germany and the harsh reparations policy, she contrasts these developments with the relatively moderate Soviet policies of socialization implemented in the same period, including improved consumption, economic aid, and toleration of private trade and production. She analyzes the factors that undermined the stability of the Ulbricht regime and culminated in the June 1953 uprising, creating an abrupt change of direction in Soviet policy toward the German Democratic Republic and East European bloc that existed prior to 1953. She argues that Soviet policies during the immediate postwar period were ambivalent, serving a mix of political and economic goals that were often incompatible, and that the Soviet commitment to incorporate East Germany into the Soviet bloc was not evident until after mid-1953.

For the many thousands of woodturners uncomfortable with the business requirements of their craft, this book shows how to turn a pleasurable activity into a profitable enterprise. When the authors set themselves up as professional woodturners eight years ago, they found plenty of books about the craft, and plenty of small business guides, but nothing specific to help them in their venture. Hence this book. They learnt from their own mistakes and their own successes, and never looked back. Now they are passing on the benefits of their experience to all other hobbyists. Topics covered include buying equipment, cost-effective milling and seasoning of timber, work efficiency, pricing and overheads management, keeping accounts, marketing and selling, stock-taking, bank loans, tax, insurance and safety. It even covers inspiration and design.

The new Charities Act 2006 signals a radical overhaul of the legislation affecting charities. Its far-reaching changes affect virtually all aspects of charities law, including: expansion of the four heads of charitable purpose to thirteen categories; an emphasis on public benefit, so that charities will have to demonstrate what they do that benefits the community; widened regulatory powers for the Charity Commission and a new Charity Tribunal which will have the power to revisit the Commission's decision-making; new rules on restructuring and charity mergers, including the protection of legacies on mergers; the option for charities to adopt a new corporate structure as 'Charitable Incorporated Organisation'; new rules regarding the remuneration of trustees and the power to spend capital; and, a new framework for the regulation of public charitable collections. Written by experts in this area, Charities Act 2006 will help you to keep up-to-date with the changes in the law and to understand their implications. The book also provides the consolidated text of the 1992, 1993 and 2006 Acts.
