Musical drama in which a pair of aspiring musicians with
unglamorous day jobs team up in a bid to find success. Nate (Alec
Newman) works in the financial services industry during the day,
identifying struggling companies in order to bet against them on
the stock market and bring home profit. Aware of the job's inherent
unpleasantness, he seeks refuge at night playing the piano and in
his dreams of life as a professional musician. One night, while
playing his music, he hears someone singing along on the street
outside. It turns out to be Chloe (Amy Adams), a cloakroom worker
from the nearby jazz club who also dreams of a better life.
Recognising the beauty of Chloe's voice, Nate suggests that the
pair marry their talents and become a musical duo. Will their
musical relationship develop into something more?

'Psycho' meets 'Hotel California' horror in which a young couple
are trapped, awaiting their fate. For young couple Amy and David
Fox (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson), a long day bickering in
their car suddenly gets much worse when they break down in the
middle of nowhere. Luckily for them they find a motel and settle
down to watch some TV. Concern rises when they realise the 'snuff'
movies the motel thoughtfully supply for their guests seem vaguely
familiar. Discovering hidden cameras, they realise that they are
about to star in the performance of their lives, or rather the end
of it, unless they can somehow escape.

Scholars working in archaeology, education, history, geography, and
politics tell a nuanced story about the people and dynamics that
reshaped this region and determined who would control it. The Ohio
Valley possesses some of the most resource-rich terrain in the
world. Its settlement by humans was thus consequential not only for
shaping the geographic and cultural landscape of the region but
also for forming the United States and the future of world history.
Settling Ohio begins with an overview of the first people who
inhabited the region, who built civilizations that moved massive
amounts of earth and left an archaeological record that drew the
interest of subsequent settlers and continues to intrigue scholars.
It highlights how, in the eighteenth century, American Indians who
migrated from the East and North interacted with Europeans to
develop impressive trading networks and how they navigated
complicated wars and sought to preserve national identities in the
face of violent attempts to remove them from their lands. The book
situates the traditional story of Ohio settlement, including the
Northwest Ordinance, the dealings of the Ohio Company of
Associates, and early road building, into a far richer story of
contested spaces, competing visions of nationhood, and complicated
relations with Indian peoples. By so doing, the contributors
provide valuable new insights into how chaotic and contingent early
national politics and frontier development truly were. Chapters
highlighting the role of apple-growing culture, education, African
American settlers, and the diverse migration flows into Ohio from
the East and Europe further demonstrate the complex multiethnic
composition of Ohio’s early settlements and the tensions that
resulted. A final theme of this volume is the desirability of
working to recover the often-forgotten history of non-White peoples
displaced by the processes of settler colonialism that has been,
until recently, undervalued in the scholarship.
The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century
Performance brings together a selection of particularly memorable
performances, beginning with Nell Gwyn in a 1668 staging of Secret
Love, and moving chronologically towards the final performance of
John Philip Kemble's controversial adaptation of Thomas Otway's
Venice Presever'd in October 1795. This volume contains a wealth of
contextual materials, including contemporary reviews, portraits,
advertisements, and cast lists. By privileging event over
publication, this collection aims to encourage an understanding of
performance that emphasizes the immediacy - and changeability - of
the theatrical repertoire during the long eighteenth century.
Offering an invaluable insight into the performance culture of the
time, The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century
Performance is a unique, much-needed resource for students of
theatre.

American poet and writer John G. Neihardt (1881-1973) possessed an
inquiring and spiritual mind. Those qualities came to the fore in
Black Elk Speaks, the story of the Lakota holy man Black Elk, for
which he is best remembered. Over the course of thirty years he
also wrote a five-volume epic poem, A Cycle of the West, which told
the story of the settlement of the American West. Despite
Neihardt's widespread name recognition, the success of Black Elk
Speaks, and a list of critically acclaimed books and poems,
Lonesome Dreamer is the first biography of Neihardt in nearly forty
years. Timothy G. Anderson describes Neihardt's life from his
humble beginnings in Illinois to being named poet laureate of
Nebraska in 1921 and to his appearance on the Dick Cavett Show at
the age of ninety. Anderson also delves into Neihardt's success as
a poet far from the East Coast literary establishment, his
resistance to modernist movements in poetry, and his wish to
understand and describe the experience of the Plains Indians.
Offering insight into both his personal and his literary life, this
biography reaffirms Neihardt's place in American literary history,
his successes and failures, and his unbreakable spirit.

This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to
organic process research and development in the pharmaceutical,
fine
chemical, and agricultural chemical industries. Process R&D
describes the steps taken, following synthesis and evaluation, to
bring key
compounds to market in a cost-effective manner. More people are
being hired for work in this area as increasing numbers of drug
candidates are
identified through combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput
screening. The book is directed to industrial (primarily organic)
chemists, and
academicians (particularly those involved in a growing number of
start-up companies) and students who need insight into industrial
process R&D. Current books do not describe hands-on,
step-by-step, approaches to solving process development problems,
including route, reagent,
and solvent selection; optimising catalytic reactions; chiral
syntheses; and "green chemistry." "Practical Process Research and
Development" will be a valuable resource for researchers, managers,
and graduate students.
* Provides insights into generating rugged, practical,
cost-effective processes for the chemical preparation of "small
molecules"
* Breaks down process optimization into route, reagent and solvent
selection, development of reaction conditions, workup,
crystallizations and more
* Includes over 100 tips for rapid process development
* Presents guidelines for implementing and troubleshooting
processes

J. A. Green (1873-1905) was one of the most prolific and
accomplished indigenous photographers to be active in West Africa.
This beautiful book celebrates Green's photographs and opens a new
chapter in the early photographic history of Africa. Soon after
photography reached the west coast of Africa in the 1840s, the
technology and the resultant images were disseminated widely,
appealing to African elites, European residents, and travelers to
the region. Responding to the need for more photographs, expatriate
and indigenous photographers began working along the coasts,
particularly in major harbor towns. Green, whose identity remained
hidden behind his English surname, maintained a photography
business in Bonny along the Niger Delta. His work covered a wide
range of themes including portraiture, scenes of daily and ritual
life, commerce, and building. Martha G. Anderson, Lisa Aronson, and
the contributors have uncovered 350 of Green's images in archives,
publications, and even albums that celebrated colonial
achievements. This landmark book unifies these dispersed images and
presents a history of the photographer and the area in which he
worked.
