What if man's thirst to push the boundaries of science resulted in its own destruction? When Richard Draven's research into the healing properties of animals and the possibility of transferring them to humans, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events which will lead mankind to the brink of extinction. His discovery - a new species of monkey with incredible regenerative powers - leads to interest from the government who is looking for a way to enhance their military forces in their numerous conflicts around the globe. Six years later, the research started by Draven has been put into practice. Small groups of soldiers have been modified at a genetic level by a brand new virus, one which makes them stronger, quicker, and more intelligent. Soon, disturbing reports of mass murder and unprovoked violence by the Apex teams have started to filter into homeland security. When one by one, the Apex teams go dark, the leaders of the free world realise that they have a very serious problem on their hands.

Explore the world of the hit game through the eyes of the lovable robot, Pathfinder, as he chronicles his journey throughout the various environs of the Outlands to interview his fellow Legends -- all in the hope of finally locating his mysterious creator. The rich history of Apex Legends is explained by the characters that helped to shape it, as are their unique bonds of competition and camaraderie.

Based on some of the most interesting research of the last ten years, this book discusses effective practice in work with persistent young offenders. It contrasts two major evaluations of projects for juvenile offenders, one of which was successful and the other less so. The projects, Freagarrach and CueTen, were funded by The Scottish Office and the Scottish Executive. Freagarrach was evaluated over five years from 1995 and CueTen over three years (its entire lifespan) from 1996. This book makes the findings of these projects available to a wider readership, setting them in a wider discursive framework than is appropriate in a government report. The authors identify the factors that made Freagarrach a more successful project than CueTen, arguing that an understanding of these factors is important in drawing general conclusions from the experience of the two projects, and that this is particularly the case because some of these factors have received little attention in recent discussions of 'what works' in community-based programmes for offenders. This is a detailed and thorough study of work with juvenile offenders, which will be of particular value to those interested in less punitive approaches. It will be of interest both to practitioners and to academics in criminology, social policy and social work.
