All they had to do was get him across town. It was the sort of
mission Batman had run a thousand times. From high above the
sweltering summer streets of Gotham, Batman would escort the GCPD
as the dangerous metahuman super-villain known as E.M.P. was
transferred from a temporary holding cell to his permanent home at
Blackgate Prison in Gotham Harbor. E.M.P. s electrical powers posed
a dangerous threat, but the situation was well in hand. Until it
wasn t. Now every light in Gotham is out, the police have been
knocked into disarray, and a broken, bleeding Batman must fight his
way to Blackgate, block by block, dragging E.M.P. behind him. But
it s not just the gangs who want to make life difficult for him.
The dark corners of Gotham contain many surprises and E.M.P. has
many more shocks to deliver before the night is through! One of the
most iconic Batman artists of the 21st century, the incomparable
Jock (THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS, BATMAN: THE BLACK MIRROR), has focused
all his storytelling powers on the tale of one very, very dark
night in Gotham City. It s always darkest before the dawn if it

Why did South African mines become renowned for mine safety, while
the mounting rate of silicosis in black migrant workers lay hidden
for over a century? How complicit were regulating officers in the
operation of the gold mines' apartheid health and safety policies?
Why and how was tuberculosis among black migrant miners not
disclosed, perpetuating a cycle of disease (and death) and allowing
the infection to spread to neighbouring states? This book reveals
how the South African mining industry, abetted by a minority state,
hid a pandemic of silicosis for almost a century, and allowed
workers infected with tuberculosis to spread the potentially fatal
disease to rural communities in South Africa and labour-sending
states. The first crisis of 1896-1912 focused on the minority white
workers and resulted in industry investing heavily on reducing dust
levels. The second began in 2000 with mounting scientific evidence
that the disease rate among black migrant miners is more than a
hundred times higher than officially acknowledged. This has
resulted in class actions against operating companies.
While canvassing for the Scottish independence referendum in 2014
Neil Findlay made a discovery. Visiting the home that used to be
his grandparents', he was shown a plywood panel where John 'Jock'
Findlay, his grandfather, had written his life's tale. This is
Jock's story. Jock grew up and grew old in the West Lothian village
of Pumpherston - a village dominated by one industry, shale oil
mining. In his own words he describes the good times, and the hard
times, of living and working in Pumpherston. This is a story about
a Scottish industry, a village and, most of all, a community.

First published in 1975, this collection of essays expands upon the
themes and ideas developed in the editors' previous work, the
visionary and groundbreaking text: The New Criminology. Directed at
orthodox criminology, this is a partisan work written by a group of
criminologists committed to a social transformation: a
transformation to a society that does not criminalize deviance.
Included are American contributions, particularly from the School
of Criminology at Berkeley, represented by Hermann and Julia
Schwendinger and Tony Platt, together with essays by Richard
Quinney and William Chambliss. From Britain, Geoff Pearson
considers deviancy theory as 'misfit sociology' and Paul Hirst
attacks deviancy theory from an Althusserian Marxist position. The
editors contribute a detailed introductory essay extending the
position developed in The New Criminology, and two other pieces
which attempt to continue the task of translating criminology from
its traditional correctionalist stance to a commitment to socialist
diversity and a crime-free set of social arrangements.

First published in 1983. Amilcar Cabral was one of Africa's leading
revolutionary figures. Universally recognised as the founding
father at the independent state of Guine-Bissau, he was also the
first truly important political thinker to have emerged from
Africa's two decades of revolution. This book was the first
publication to present a critical analysis of his standing as a
political theorist. Born in 1925 in the then Portuguese colony of
Guine, Cabral devoted his life to the liberation of his people from
colonialism and was instrumental in founding the PAIGC, the African
Party for the Independence of Guine and Cape Verde. He was
assassinated early in 1973, but the PAIGC continued his task and
Guine-Bissau gained independence in September 1973. Guine's
revolution came late, but it was a genuine revolution and, like all
revolutions, was accompanied by a theory of its own. That theory is
found in the writings of Cabral. In this study Jack McCulloch
explains that, because of the conjunction of a number of historical
factors, the revolution in Guine assumed an importance for out of
proportion to the size or economic significance of the country, and
shows that consequently Cabral's theory has come to have an
historical significance of its own. This account of Cabral's
political theory demonstrates clearly that the effect of Cabral's
career was to help bring down the last of the great colonial
empires in Africa and, in the realm of theory, to dismantle the
central shibboleths of African socialism.
The book provides a wide introduction on history, minerology,
geology, and the characteristics and application of different
natural nanotubes. It is the first comprehensive book to discuss
natural nanotubes, particularly halloysite nanotubes. The book will
be useful mainly for postgraduate students and researchers working
on the application of natural nanotubes. It will also be useful for
those companies or researchers that focus on the design of
materials and composites for sustainability. This book: * Provides
updates on the diverse and expanding applications of natural
mineral nanotubes (including halloysite, sepiolite, and
palygorskite) in various industries, and polymer nanocomposites for
medical, health, and environmental applications * Provides a
comprehensive review of the modification and intercalation of
different natural mineral nanotubes * Reviews recent studies of the
mechanical properties of halloysite nanotubes * Provides an
up-to-date background on the structure, identification, and
nomenclature of various natural mineral nanotubes, including
halloysite, palygorskite, sepiolite, chrysotile, and erionite *
Gives comprehensive global information on the mineralogy, geology,
and occurrence of natural mineral nanotubes * Discusses the current
understanding of the health risks of natural mineral nanotubes
This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence
the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly
take account of the correlation between prices and yields in
forming their price forecasts, competitive markets will often be
socially inefficient, leading to misallocation of resources. The
authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting
rule, based on expected per unit revenue, is generally adequate to
ensure efficient market behavior.Time-series data from various
countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is
influenced by the correlation of price and yield as well as by
lagged market prices . The importance of market inefficiencies in
risky situations is shown to, depend on the variability of yields,
the nature of farmers'price forecasting behavior, the degree of
private risk aversion,and the elasticity of demand. The authors
suggest and evaluate three basic policy approaches governments may
take when confronted with very inefficient markets--establishing
production quotas, improving market information services, and
implementing price stabilization schemes. They conclude by
discussing implications of the study for the specification of
agricultural supply models and for the economic appraisal of risky
investment projects.

As the human population grows from seven billion toward an
inevitable nine or 10 billion, the demands on the limited supply of
soils will grow and intensify. Soils are essential for the
sustenance of almost all plants and animals, including humans, but
soils are virtually infinitely variable. Clays are the most
reactive and interactive inorganic compounds in soils. Clays in
soils often differ from pure clay minerals of geological origin.
They provide a template for most of the reactive organic matter in
soils. They directly affect plant nutrients, soil temperature and
pH, aggregate sizes and strength, porosity and water-holding
capacities. This book aims to help improve predictions of important
properties of soils through a modern understanding of their highly
reactive clay minerals as they are formed and occur in soils
worldwide. It examines how clays occur in soils and the role of
soil clays in disparate applications including plant nutrition,
soil structure, and water-holding capacity, soil quality, soil
shrinkage and swelling, carbon sequestration, pollution control and
remediation, medicine, forensic investigation, and deciphering
human and environmental histories. Features: Provides information
on the conditions that lead to the formation of clay minerals in
soils Distinguishes soil clays and types of clay minerals Describes
clay mineral structures and their origins Describes occurrences and
associations of clays in soil Details roles of clays in
applications of soils Heavily illustrated with photos, diagrams,
and electron micrographs Includes user-friendly description of a
new method of identification To know soil clays is to enable their
use toward achieving improvements in the management of soils for
enhancing their performance in one or more of their three main
functions of enabling plant growth, regulating water flow to
plants, and buffering environmental changes. This book provides an
easily-read and extensively-illustrated description of the nature,
formation, identification, occurrence and associations,
measurement, reactivities, and applications of clays in soils.
"The New Criminology was written at a particular time and place; it
was a product of 1968 and its aftermath: a world turned upside down
.It was a time of great changes in personal politics and a surge of
politics on the left: Marxism, Anarchism, Situationism as well as
radical social democratic ideas became centre stage." Jock Young,
from the new introduction. Taylor, Walton and Young's The New
Criminology is one of the seminal texts in Criminology. First
published in 1973, it marked a watershed moment in the development
of critical criminological theory and is as relevant today as it
was forty years ago. It was one of the first texts to bridge the
gap between criminological and sociological theory and demonstrated
the weaknesses of classical and positivist criminology. Critics at
the time saw it as the first truly comprehensive critique of
Anglo-American studies of crime and deviance. Reproduced
unabridged, the fortieth anniversary edition includes a brand new
introductory essay from Jock Young placing the book in its
intellectual context and sequence and looking at the theories which
built up to it and the theories that have been built upon since. It
is essential reading for all serious students engaged in
criminological theory and is destined to inspire future
generations.
In this timely book, Jock Given looks at how the events of 11
September 2001 have altered the debate over how countries like
Australia can preserve and strengthen their film and television
industries. Steering a course between those people who see free
trade as a universal panacea and those who fear its homogenising
impact, this book offers a vivid account of how culture and trade
are interacting in the real world of the early twenty first
century.

This book provides an overview of recent government initiatives in
the field of crime and punishment, reviewing both the policies
themselves, the perceived problems and issues they seek to address,
and the broader social and political context in which this is
taking place. The underlying theme of the book is that a
qualitative change has taken place in the politics of crime control
in the UK since the early 1990s. Although crime has stabilized,
imprisonment rates continue to climb, there is a new mood of
punitiveness, and crime has become a central policy issue for the
government, no longer just a technical matter of law enforcement.
At the same time the politics of crime control have taken on a
pronounced gender, race and age preoccupation. There are many
parallels with the changing nature of crime control in the USA, and
the contributors draw on international comparisons in their
respective chapters. The book brings together a team of
