Today, place branding and place marketing are a widely-used instrument of communal business development. But still, there is a great insecurity about the exact effectiveness of place branding, about its correlation with other forms of regional development and about the implementation and the management of place branding strategies. This e-book contains papers given at the international conference “Marketing Cities: Place Branding in Perspective” in December 2008 and aims to disclose these correlations and work towards understanding the broader context of place branding. It especially aims at closing the gap between theory and implementation that still characterises many place branding initiatives.

The war of Honce drags on, and the roads and seas are littered with bodies. To everyone’s stunned disbelief, Yeslnik the Fool has tipped the war’s scales in his favor. The reign of the newly self-appointed King Yeslnik is already distinguished as the most bloody and merciless in Honce history.
Trapped, Dame Gwydre and Father Artolivan concoct a desperate plot to join forces with Laird Ethelbert, the lesser of two vicious evils. But Ethelbert’s paid assassins slew Jameston Sequin and nearly did the same to Bransen.
Embittered by it all, Bransen seeks to extricate himself from the selfish goals of all of combatants. But in an odd twist of fate and crossed loyalties, Bransen sees in his old nemesis, Bannagran–the Bear of Honce and the man who slew his adoptive father – a darker image of his own heart. Allies and battle lines become tangled, motives indistinguishable as old friends become enemies and old enemies become allies, in R.A. Salvatore’s The Bear, the fourth book in the Saga of First Kings series.

Need to bless a newborn babe? Wondering what color candle to use for a winter handfasting? What herbs are best to use when the Moon is in Cancer? Magick is intent, but any witch will tell you that intent requires forethought and preparation. And even the most seasoned ritualist needs a reference to determine the best timing and most powerful ingredients for their magical work. From Solstice to Saturday to Seven O’ Clock, from Vervain to Mandrake to Amber, using the right magickal correspondences strengthens any spell, ceremony, or ritual. Here Eileen Holland has gathered together a wealth of magickal knowledge, complete with everything from hours, days, weeks, and astrological alignment to proper corresponding plants, animals, oils, herbs, and deities, and compiled them into the ultimate reference book for anyone seeking guidance in creating their own enchantments.

The Hidden Politics of the Palestinian-Israeli Water Conflict
Power and Water in the Middle East’ provides a powerful new perspective on the Palestinian-Israeli water conflict. Adopting a new approach to understanding water conflict – hydro-hegemony – the author shows the conflict to be much more deeply entrenched than previously thought and reveals how existing tactics to control water are leading away from peace and towards continued domination and a squandering of this vital resource.Existing approaches tend to play down the negative effects of non-violent water conflict, and what is presented as co-operation between countries often hides an underlying state of conflict between them. The new analytical framework of hydro-hegemony exposes the hidden dynamics of water conflict around the world and yields critical insights in to the Middle East water problem. This important work will interest researchers, professionals and policy makers involved with the politics of the Middle East and with water conflict more generally._x000D__x000D_’a compelling story of state-building, inter-state competition, and the central role that water plays in state development’ – Water Alternatives_x000D_ _x000D_’washes away another colourful colonial myth and reveals a history of squandered resources, domestic injustice, and regional belligerence… Zeitoun’s meticulous investigation of the conflict over water in the region is a convincing read … it remains essential reading for anybody working on resource management through government ministries, national agencies, and NGOs in the region.’ – Arab Studies Journal
