Best of 2000 ADÂ is a landmark series from the cult comic,
bursting with our greatest stories for a new generation of readers.
Every Best of 2000 ADÂ contains a mix of modern classics and
gems from the vault. In each edition you'll find an explosive new
Judge Dredd adventure, fresh essays by prominent popular culture
writers, a graphic novel-length feature presentation by global
legends and a vintage Dredd case. In this volume: When Judge Dredd
investigates a potential whistleblower, it’s hard to avoid
paranoia when information is this Mega-City Confidential; from
medieval Prague to the streets of Elizabethan London, Kek-W and
John Burns sound the call to battle extra-dimensional Wurms and
join The Order; a rolling stone gathers no mousse as Pete Milligan
and Jamie Hewlett tangle you in Hewligan’s Haircut, a shear
reality-warping victory roll that’s just the tonic; quake to the
Cry of the Werewolf with an all-time Dredd classic by Alan Grant
and Steve Dillon. Boasting brand new covers from an all-star
line-up of artists including Marguerite Sauvage (Archie) and Glyn
Dillon (The Batman) with designer Tom Muller (X-Men), Best of 2000
AD is the essential gateway into the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
This book examines the nexus between religion and politics,
considered in one of its most controversial aspects. The starting
point is the 2001 attack on the United States, which a Canadian
commentator ingeniously described as the 'passion of America'. This
designation suggested an interesting inquiry into other so-called
national passions: the notion of the Christ-nation crucified by
evil powers because of its higher virtue. . . . This motif is
explored by analysing five modern nationalisms that have employed
Christian symbolism in this manner: Poland, France, Germany,
Ireland and Palestine. The author investigates the way in which
fundamental Christian concepts are distorted and corrupted in the
process, and points to the inherent dangers of this form of
political self-glorification. Poets, philosophers, novelists and
preachers have all played a major part in promoting the idea of the
Christ-nation at certain times, mostly in the nineteenth century
but also today. Famous examples are Adam Mickiewicz in Poland,
Victor Hugo in France, the patriotic Lutherans during the First
World War in Germany, Patrick Pearse in Ireland and certain
Palestinian nationalist poets today. . . The clash of cultures,
religions, nationalisms and civilisations in the world today is
ever more strident. The passion narratives of the five nations are
interwoven with historical circumstance in order to cast light on
the endurance and power of the narratives, to arrive at a final
critique and 'tract for the times'.

From Tammy to the Eagle, Gerry Finley-Day was one of the most
prolific comic book writers throughout the 1970s and 80s. His work
for 2000 AD in particular was extraordinary and included such
beloved strips as future war G.I. Rogue Trooper, the 'Great escape'
in space titled Harry 20 on the High Rock, the Star Wars inspired
V.C.'s and a gritty 1970s take on the iconic Eagle character Dan
Dare. This collection contains some of Gerry's greatest work on
these strips and more. Tight plots, non-stop action and plenty of
thrills are here in abundance and highlight why 2000 AD became the

The rapid growth of the data traffic demands new ways to achieve
high-speed wireless links. The backbone networks, data centers,
mission-critical applications, as well as end-users sitting in
office or home, all require ultra-high throughput and ultra-low
latency wireless links. Sophisticated technological advancement and
huge bandwidth are required to reduce the latency. Terahertz band,
in this regard, has a huge potential to provide these high-capacity
links where a user can download the file in a few seconds. To
realize the high-capacity wireless links for future applications,
in this book, different aspects of the Terahertz band wireless
communication network are presented. This book highlights the
Terahertz channel characteristics and modeling, antenna design and
beamforming, device characterization, applications, and protocols.
It also provides state-of-the-art knowledge on different
communication aspects of Terahertz communication and techniques to
realize the true potential of the Terahertz band for wireless
communication.

'Native speakers' and 'native users' are terms traditionally used
to differentiate between speakers who have acquired a language from
birth and speakers who have learnt a second language. This book
highlights the problems associated with making such a clear cut
distinction. By analysing a range of literature, language uses and
proficiency tests, Davies argues that there is no significant
difference between native speakers and native users, and emphasises
the importance of the Standard Language. Whilst individual native
speakers may vary considerably, the academic construct of the
native speaker is isomorphic with the Standard Language which is
available to both native speakers and native users through
education. In this book, Davies explores the 'native user' as a
second language speaker who uses language with 'native speaker'
competence. This book will be of significant interest to students
and researchers working in the fields of second language
acquisition and applied linguistics.
