The Co-operative Group's new head office
by Len Grant
This book charts the building of 1 Angel Square, the remarkable new head office for The Co-operative Group in Manchester's new NOMA district. Combining text and photographs to illustrate the building from commissioning to completion, Len Grant has interviewed the whole project team - clients, architects, engineers, project managers and builders - and has had unreserved access to document the creation of this already award-winning structure. The design of 1 Angel Square by the architects 3DReid, is currently the UK's highest BREEAM (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) rated office building to date, and it is set to be one of the most sustainable buildings in Europe. 1 Angel Square, the book, is an intimate record of this fascinating building.

This book will be required reading for students of architecture and construction, sustainability studies and urban planning, and for those with an interest in the history of one of the world's great businesses. ;

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2026Sovereignty disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
A public order perspective
by Thomas D. Grant
Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2011The Transformation of European Football
Towards the Europeanisation of the national game
by Arne Niemann, Borja Garcia, Wyn Grant
The book examines the transformation of European football in recent years by focusing on the impact of Europe in general and the EU in particular on the way that the game has evolved in a broad cross section of European states. The book brings together two significant research agendas: first, that on the governance of sport in Europe/the European Union; secondly, that within European integration studies on 'Europeanisation' (most commonly understood at the process of change in the domestic arena resulting from European integration). The concept of Europeanisation and in particular' top down' Europeanisation is used to shape the individual country case studies. Other transformational factors such as globalization are also assessed. The three chapters in the introductory section set the context within which the transformation of European football has occurred with particular emphasis on the role of UEFA and EU institutions. The ten country studies in the central part of the book include the five leading football nations in Europe and smaller countries that are facing new challenges in the competitive environment of modern European football. They include an example of a country that is a recent accession state and one outside the EU. What emerges from these chapters is both the shaping influence of Europeanisation but also the extent to which it is countered and modified by national culture and structures. What is also noticeable the sense of decline amongst some of the small and even larger footballing nations in the continent. This book will be of interest to students of European politics, sports governance and football, it also represents a substantial contribution to the debate on Europeanisation. ;

August 2018Hazel Wood
Wo alles beginnt
by Melissa Albert, Fabienne Pfeiffer, Frauke Schneider
Alice hat schon immer das Gefühl gehabt, vom Unheil verfolgt zu sein. Ihr Leben nimmt eine dramatische Wendung, als ihre Großmutter, die geheimnisumwobene Märchenerzählerin Althea Proserpine, stirbt und kurz darauf ihre Mutter spurlos verschwindet. Zurück bleibt nur eine kryptische Nachricht: „Halt dich fern von Hazel Wood“. Getrieben von dem Bedürfnis, ihre Mutter zu finden und das Rätsel ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit zu lösen, begibt sich Alice auf eine Reise, die sie tief in das Herz der Dunkelheit und zu den Wurzeln ihrer Familiengeschichte führt. Hazel Wood, der Ort, an dem alles begann und der eng mit den düsteren Märchen ihrer Großmutter verwoben ist, scheint der Schlüssel zu sein, um das Geheimnis zu lüften und ihre Mutter zu retten. Je näher Alice Hazel Wood kommt, desto mehr offenbart sich eine Welt, die weit über ihre kühnsten Träume und schlimmsten Albträume hinausgeht. Sie entdeckt eine unheimliche Wahrheit, die alles, was sie über sich selbst und ihre Familie zu wissen glaubte, in Frage stellt. Die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Märchen verschwimmen, und Alice muss sich den dunklen Kräften stellen, die Hazel Wood beherrschen. Um ihre Mutter zu finden und sich selbst zu befreien, muss sie tiefer in die magische und gefährliche Welt eintauchen, als sie je für möglich gehalten hätte. "Hazel Wood" ist nicht nur ein Ort, sondern auch ein Prüfstein für Alice, der sie zwingt, über Mut, Identität und die Macht der Geschichten, die wir erzählen, neu nachzudenken. Die düstere und fesselnde Welt von "Hazel Wood" entführt in das Erbe dunkler Märchen und ungelöster Familiengeheimnisse, die auf die Protagonistin Alice warten. Eine einzigartige Geschichte, die sich in den urbanen Schatten New Yorks entfaltet, führt auf eine unvergessliche Reise an den Ursprung eines alten Fluchs. Innovatives Fantasy-Debüt, das mit seiner Sogwirkung und den logisch verwobenen düsteren Märchenelementen Leser weltweit begeistert hat. Meisterhaft erzählte Handlung, die die unheimliche und düstere Seite von Märchen aufzeigt und spannende Unterhaltung garantiert. International gefeierter All-Age-Roman, der mit seiner brillanten Verbindung von fantastischer Literatur, Märchen, Horror und Thriller zu einem echten Pageturner wird.
