Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

Unfortunately for George, when the performer in the next room,
acrobat Tom Driscoll (Dennis Wyndham), is found murdered, George is
Chief Inspector Twyning (Ian Fleming)'s prime suspect. Can George
find out the true identity of the killer, or will his attempts to
solve the case only provide further evidence for the police to use
against him?

Vincent Price plays a Shakespearian actor Edward Lionheart, who
re-enacts murder scenes penned by the famous bard, in order to gain
revenge on the nine theatre critics who have denied him the Best
Actor of the Year award. His accomplice is his devoted daughter
(Diana Rigg) and together they seek revenge in a most bloody and
violent way: one critic is decapitated in his bed, one is made to
murder his own wife and another is forced to eat his beloved dogs.
In December 1943, a top secret contract (E.24/43) was awarded to
Miles Aircraft. The contract was to build the world's first
supersonic jet capable of 1000mph. The only reliable source of data
on supersonic objects came from the Armament Research Dept and
their wind tunnel tests on ammunition. From this, Miles developed
an exceptionally thin-winged, bullet-shaped aircraft. the research
was inexplicably passed to the Americans in 1944. By December 1945,
one prototype was virtually complete. The second, destined for an
attempt at the sound barrier was 80 per cent complete. In February
1946, Capt Eric Brown was confirmed as the test pilot and October
1946 was set for the supersonic trials. However, on 12 February
1946, Miles were ordered to stop production. No plausible
explanation was given for the cancellation when Britain was within
six months of breaking the sound barrier. Eric Brown and others
directly involved including Dennis Bancroft, the Chief
Aerodynamicist on the M.52, have now come together to try and
finally solve the mystery behind the cancellation.

Coming out of one of the most contentious elections in history,
Dennis Johnson and Lara Brown have assembled an outstanding team of
authors to examine one of the fiercest and most closely fought
presidential elections of our time. Like the 2008 and 2012 editions
of Campaigning for President, the 2016 edition combines the talents
and insights of political scientists who specialize in campaigns
and elections together with seasoned political professionals who
have been involved in previous presidential campaigns. Campaigning
for President is the only series on presidential campaigns that
features both political scientists and professional consultants.
This book focuses on the most important questions of this most
unusual presidential campaign. What was the appeal of Donald Trump?
Has Twitter and social media become the dominant means of
communicating? How did fake news, WikiLeaks, and the Russians
factor in this election? What happened to the Obama coalition and
why couldn't Hillary Clinton capitalize on it? Hundreds of millions
of Super PAC dollars were raised and spent, and much of that was
wasted. What happened? Is the wild west of online media the new
norm for presidential contests? These and many other questions are
answered in the provocative essays by scholars and practitioners.
The volume also is packed with valuable appendixes: a timeline of
the presidential race, biographical sketches of each candidate, a
roster of political consultants, the primary and general election
results, exit polls, and campaign spending. New to the 2016 Edition
The 2016 presidential contest brings a completely new set of
players, policies, and electoral challenges. Like the 2008 and 2012
editions, the authors probe the strategies and tactics of the
candidate campaigns and the outside organizations. The chapters
focus on Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, but also look at the
Bernie Sanders insurgency, the collapse of the mainstream
Republican candidates, and the dynamics of the general election.
Chapters also analyze the changes in campaign finance, new
technologies, the role of social media, and how fake news and
subterfuge might become the new realities of presidential
campaigning.

Contemporary artists and writers reflect on the Great Migration and
the ways that it continues to inform the Black experience in
America The Great Migration (1915-70) saw more than six million
African Americans leave the South for destinations across the
United States. This incredible dispersal of people across the
country transformed nearly every aspect of Black life and culture.
Offering a new perspective on this historical phenomenon, this
incisive volume presents immersive photography of newly
commissioned works of art by Akea, Mark Bradford, Zoe Charlton,
Larry W. Cook, Torkwase Dyson, Theaster Gates Jr., Allison Janae
Hamilton, Leslie Hewitt, Steffani Jemison, Robert Pruitt, Jamea
Richmond-Edwards, and Carrie Mae Weems. The artists investigate
their connections to the Deep South through familial stories of
perseverance, self-determination, and self-reliance and consider
how this history informs their working practices. Essays by Kiese
Laymon, Jessica Lynne, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts, and Willie Jamaal
Wright explore how the Great Migration continues to reverberate
today in the public and private spheres and examine migration as
both a historical and a political consequence, as well as a
possibility for reclaiming agency. Published in association with

You could argue that Dennis Amiss' seven-decade cricket career
started the day he was born, when his parents named him after not
one but two celebrated cricketers. Or maybe it started when he was
7, sneaking into the Birmingham Cooperative Society to play a few
matches with his friends - as long as they avoided the
groundskeeper! Or perhaps it was on 7 April 1958; not only his
fifteenth birthday, but also his first day as a professional
cricketer. Whatever day you start on, there's no denying that Amiss
has had an extraordinary career. He is one of England's cricketing
greats, with 100 first-class hundreds to his name and a place as
one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year. Hugely well-respected on
and off the pitch, he didn't shy away from controversy, taking part
in the 1982 'Rebel Tour' of Apartheid South Africa, and somehow
ending up in the midst of the battle between World Series Cricket
and the England Cricket Board. Not Out at Close of Play is the
story of how passion, commitment and practice - and no small amount
of stubbornness! - took a boy from the backstreets of Birmingham to
worldwide cricket stardom.
Ideal for anyone involved in the study of criminal justice, this book acquaints students with the philosophical concepts upon which ethical theory is based. It applies these ideas to specific issues and dilemmas within the criminal justice system. Its ultimate goal is to acquaint students with basic concepts of ethics in criminal justice and to train the mind to solve moral issues independently. The Ethical Foundations of Criminal Justice offers a comprehensive definition of ethics, and elucidates its unique language and logic. The book explores the major ethical theories, with extensive discussion of authorities like Kant, Aristotle, Mill, and Hobbes. Chapters investigate normative ethics, teleological theories, deontological theories, and the alternative theories of ethics. The author exhibits the practice of these theories in actual matters of rights, the law, and the behavior of the courts. This book addresses ethics in the context of civil liability, police corruption, and abuse of police power, and includes numerous case studies and references to other relevant works. Criminal justice majors, criminology and law school students, and even police academy cadets will find this text an invaluable source of information both for academic studies and real-world applications.
The Arma Christi, the cluster of objects associated with Christ's
Passion, was one of the most familiar iconographic devices of
European medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used
to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary
tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional
practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems,
striking visual images, and innovative architectural ornament. This
collection displays the fascinating range of intellectual
possibilities generated by representations of these medieval
'objects,' and through the interdisciplinary collaboration of its
contributors produces a fresh view of the multiple intersections of
the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
It also includes a new and authoritative critical edition of the
Middle English Arma Christi poem known as 'O Vernicle' that takes
account of all twenty surviving manuscripts. The book opens with a
substantial introduction that surveys previous scholarship and
situates the Arma in their historical and aesthetic contexts. The
ten essays that follow explore representative examples of the
instruments of the Passion across a broad swath of history, from
some of their earliest formulations in late antiquity to their
reformulations in early modern Europe. Together, they offer the
first large-scale attempt to understand the arma Christi as a
unique cultural phenomenon of its own, one that resonated across
centuries in multiple languages, genres, and media. The collection
directs particular attention to this array of implements as an
example of the potency afforded material objects in medieval and
early modern culture, from the glittering nails of the Old English
poem Elene to the coins of the Middle English poem 'Sir Penny,'
from garments and dice on Irish tomb sculptures to lanterns and
ladders in Hieronymus Bosch's panel painting of St. Christopher,
and from the altar of the Sistine Chapel to the printed prayer
books of the Reformation.
This fourth edition of Introduction to Psychotherapy builds on
the success of the previous three editions and remains an essential
purchase for trainee psychotherapists, psychiatrists and other
professionals. It has been revised and extended to capture some of
the current themes, controversies and issues relevant to
psychotherapy as it is practised today.
Bateman has added new chapters on attachment theory and
personality disorder and has developed further the research
sections on selection and outcome. His new chapter on further
therapies covers a variety of therapeutic movements and establishes
links between these and classical psychoanalytical therapies.
Introduction to Psychotherapy is a classic text that has been
successfully updated to provide a relevant and essential
introduction for anyone interested in psychotherapy.

Through images and texts both historical and contemporary, this
book looks at the Great Migration and its profound and ongoing
impact This thoughtful interweaving of text and imagery presents a
variety of perspectives on the Great Migration (1915-70), the mass
exodus and dispersion of millions of African Americans out of the
South. Through archival photography, newspaper clippings, maps,
journal articles, book excerpts, and ephemera such as family
recipes, the book immerses readers in Black history, the Great
Migration, and its legacy. The book includes texts by authors
ranging from W. E. B. Du Bois and Jean Toomer to Toni Tipton-Martin
and culminates in a candid roundtable discussion about familial
migration stories among some of the most respected Black artists,
writers, and scholars working today: Theaster Gates, Kiese Laymon,
Carrie Mae Weems, and others. The material is presented in three
unique, thematic sections that explore the Great Migration's impact
on the American city, Black Southern foodways, and cultural
expression. Taken as a whole, this important volume provides
powerful testimony to the systemic challenges such as social
segregation, racism, and discrimination that Black communities have
faced from the post-Emancipation period to the present moment.

New investigations into Charles d'Orleans' under-rated poem, its
properties and its qualities. The compilation Fortunes Stabilnes,
the English poetry Charles d'Orleans wrote in the course of his
twenty-five year captivity in England after Agincourt, requires a
larger lens than that of Chaucerianism, through which it has most
often been viewed. A fresh view from another perspective, one that
attends to form and style, as well as to the poet's French
traditions, reveals a more conceptually complex and innovative kind
of poetry than we have seen until now. The essays collected here
reassess him in the light of recent work in Middle English studies.
They detail those qualities that make his text one of the most
accomplished and moving of the late Middle Ages: Charles's use of
English, his metrical play, his felicity with formes fixes lyrics,
his innovative use of the dits structure and lyric sequences, and
finally, above all, his ability to write beautiful poetry. Overall,
they bring out the underappreciated contribution made by Charles to
the canon of English poetry.
