Lawyers in Conflict and Transition
Countries undergoing or recovering from conflict and authoritarianism often face profound rule of law challenges.The law on the statute books may be repressive, judicial independence may be compromised, and criminal justice agencies may be captured by powerful interests.How do lawyers working within such settings imagine the law?How do they understand their ethical obligations towards their clients and the rule of law?What factors motivate them to use their legal practice and social capital to challenge repressive power?What challenges and risks can they face if they do so? And when do lawyers facilitate or acquiesce to illegality and injustice?Drawing on over 130 interviews from Cambodia, Chile, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, and Tunisia, this book explores the extent to which theoretical understandings within law and society research on the motivations, strategies, tactics, and experiences of lawyers within democratic states apply to these more challenging environments.

Leadership Transition : How leaders turn chaos into growth
Organizations are becoming more fluid and chaotic than ever before.Many leaders face deeply destabilizing experiences at a younger age than in the past.Popular writing on leadership transitions assumes that leaders are simply instruments of the business, and that the task of transitioning into a new role is primarily a task of becoming an even more useful instrument.Leadership Transition is the first attempt to bring lessons from post-trauma growth research into the realm of leadership development.The book is for leaders who are under going significant transitions in their work, either because they’ve been promoted to new positions or because their organizations are changing in important ways.It is a guide to help these leaders use uncomfortable and sometimes involuntary disruptions in their work to re-examine their leadership, to explore their values, to think creatively about the difference they want to make, and, ultimately, to grow

What is a transition?
A transition is a change or shift from one state, condition, or situation to another.

Is the transition good?
The goodness of a transition depends on various factors such as its impact on individuals, communities, and the environment. A transition can be considered good if it leads to positive outcomes such as improved quality of life, increased sustainability, and reduced inequality. However, if a transition results in negative consequences such as displacement, environmental degradation, or social unrest, it may not be considered good. Therefore, the goodness of a transition is subjective and depends on its overall impact on different aspects of society.

Transition
Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide terrorism and global financial collapse.Presiding over this world is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives possess extraordinary powers.There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer who moves between the time zones with sinister ease.Transition is a high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for terrible times.

The Crisis of the Meritocracy : Britain's Transition to Mass Education since the Second World War
Before the Second World War, only about 20% of the population went to secondary school and barely 2% to university; today everyone goes to secondary school and half of all young people go to university.How did we get here from there? The Crisis of the Meritocracy answers this question not by looking to politicians and educational reforms, but to the revolution in attitudes and expectations amongst the post-war British public - the rights guaranteed by the welfare state, the hope of a better life for one's children, widespread upward mobility from manual to non-manual occupations, confidence in the importance of education in a 'learning society' and a 'knowledge economy'.As a result of these transformations, 'meritocracy' - the idea that a few should be selected to succeed - has been challenged by democracy and its wider understandings of equal opportunity across the life course.At a time when doubts have arisen about whether we need so many students, and amidst calls for a return to grammar-school selection at 11, the tension between meritocracy and democracy remains vital to understanding why our grandparents, our parents, ourselves and our children have sought and got more and more education - and to what end.

What is the difference between standard enthalpy of transition and phase transition enthalpy?
The standard enthalpy of transition refers to the enthalpy change when a substance undergoes a transition from one phase to another at a standard pressure and temperature. This can include transitions such as melting, boiling, or sublimation. On the other hand, phase transition enthalpy refers to the enthalpy change specifically during a phase transition, regardless of the pressure and temperature conditions. In other words, phase transition enthalpy is a more general term that encompasses all enthalpy changes during phase transitions, while standard enthalpy of transition specifically refers to these changes at standard conditions.

What does transition regret mean?
