On the turbo-charged streets of Los Angeles, every night is a championship race. With intense full-throttle action, awesome high-speed stunts, and full-on pedal to the metal intensity, this fast and furious assault puts you in the driver's seat and dares you to exceed all limits.
2 Fast 2 Furious
Former cop Brian O'Conner teams up with his ex-con pal Roman Pearce to transport a shipment of "dirty" money for a shady Miami-based import/export dealer, while actually working with an undercover agent to bring the dealer down.
The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Set in the sexy and colorful underground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest customized rides go head-to head on some of the most perilous courses in the world.
Fast & Furious 4
It’s been eight years since ex-con Dominic Toretto drove across the Mexican border, committing himself to a fugitive existence. Now, holed up in a beach shack in the Dominican Republic, and living on the run with the sole remnant of his past, Lett, he tries to piece together a new life. But Dominic knows the authorities are always just steps behind him. And, when a tragic death of someone he loves brings Brian O’Conner back to L.A., Dom reignites his feud with the agent. As they are forced to confront a shared enemy, a sociopathic drug kingpin who is flooding the U.S. with lethal product, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him and avenge the tragedy that he caused their small "de facto" family to endure.
Fast & Furious 5
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed. Fugitive Dom Toretto partners with former cop Brian O'Conner on the opposite side of the law in exotic Rio de Janeiro Brazil. There they are hunted by a high-powered U.S. strike force led by its toughest Fed and an army of corrupt cops working for a ruthless drug kingpin. To gain their freedom and win this ultimate high-stakes race they must pull off one last job - an insane heist worth $100 million.
Fast & Furious 6
Since Dom and Brian's Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, agent Hobbs has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty. The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London.
Fast & Furious 7
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast across the globe in their most gravity-defying and emotional adventure yet. Targeted by a cold-blooded black-ops assassin with a score to settle, their only hope is to get behind the wheel again and secure an ingenious prototype tracking device. Facing their greatest threat yet in places as far away as Abu Dhabi and as familiar as the Los Angeles streets they call home, the crew must come together once again as a team, and as a family, to protect their own.
Fast & Furious 8
Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage… and to bring home the man who made them a family.

The theory of the firm did not exist, in any serious manner, until
around 1970. Only then did the current theory of the firm
literature begin to emerge, based largely upon the work of Ronald
Coase and to a lesser degree Frank Knight. It was work by Armen
Alchian, Robert Crawford, Harold Demsetz, Michael Jensen, Benjamin
Klein, William Meckling and Oliver Williamson, among others, that
drove the upswing in interest in the firm among mainstream
economists. This accessible book provides a valuable overview of
the ‘prehistory’ of the firm. Spanning an impressive timeline,
it delves into Antiquity, the Medieval era, the pre-classical
economics period and the 19th and 20th centuries. Next, the book
traces the theoretical contributions from pre-classical, classical
and neoclassical economics. It will be illuminating reading for
students and researchers of the history of economic thought,
industrial organization, microeconomic theory and business history.
Foundations of Organisational Economics: Histories and Theories of
the Firm and Production delves into a range of key topics to do
with the history of the mainstream approach to the theory of
production and the theory of the firm. This includes the frameworks
used to analyse production, the division of labour and its
application to the firm and the development of the neoclassical
model of production. The first topic explored is the change from a
normative approach to a largely positive approach to the analysis
of the theory of production, which occurred around the seventeenth
century. The next topic is an examination of the relationship (or
the lack of a relationship) between the division of labour and the
theory of the firm. In the fourth chapter, the focus is on the
development of the proto-neoclassical approach to production. Here,
the development of the theories of monopoly, oligopoly and perfect
competition are discussed, as well as the theory of input
utilisation. Chapter 5 looks at Marshall's idea of the
representative firm, which was the main early neoclassical approach
to the theory of industry-level production. The penultimate chapter
considers the criticisms made of the neoclassical model between
1940 and 1970. This work is an illuminating reference for students
and researchers of the history of economic thought, industrial
organisation, microeconomic theory and organisational studies.

Though he garnered global praise at the peak of his career from
1960 to 1990, Australian architect John Andrews faced waning fame
as postmodern cultural transformations challenged modernist design
values, and wider social and economic changes led to a withdrawal
of government-funded institutional commissions. Yet his body of
work is a remarkable achievement that deserves to be better known.
Following a path from Australia to the United States and Canada and
back again, John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense examines his
most important buildings and reveals how the internationalization
of architecture during this period was an unexpectedly dispersed
geographical phenomenon, following more complex flows and localized
progressions than earlier modernist ideas that travelled from
center to periphery, metropole to outpost. Andrews negotiated the
advent of postmodernism not by ignoring it, but by cultivating
approaches that this new era foregrounded—identity, history,
place—within the formal vocabularies of modernism. As Andrews
assumed wider public roles and took appointments that allowed him
to shape architectural education, he influenced design culture
beyond his own personal portfolio. This book presents his legacy
traversing local and international scenes and exemplifying
late-modern developments of architecture while offering both
generational continuities and discontinuities with what came after.
John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense features essays from Paul
Walker, Mary Lou Lobsinger, Peter Scriver and Antony Moulis, Philip
Goad, and Paolo Scrivano, along with nearly 100 new photographs
from visual artist Noritaka Minami of existing buildings designed
by Andrews in North America and Australia.
Firms are a ubiquitous feature of the economic landscape, with much
of the activity undertaken within an economy taking place within
their boundaries. Given the size of the contribution made by firms
to economic activity, employment and growth, having a theoretical
understanding of the nature and structure of firms is crucial for
understanding how an economy functions. The Theory of the Firm
firstly offers a brief overview of the past, consisting of a
concise discussion of the classical view of production, followed by
an outline of the development of the neoclassical - or 'textbook' -
approach to firm level production. Secondly, the 'present' of the
theory of the firm is discussed in three sections. The first
section considers the post-1970 theory of the firm literature per
se, while the second section scrutinises the relationship between
the three most prominent of the modern sets of theories: the
reference point, property rights and transaction cost approaches.
The third section looks at the theory of privatisation. The unique
aspects of this book includes its discussions of the post-1970
contributions to the theory of the firm; the integration of the
theory of the entrepreneur with the theory of the firm; and the
theory of privatisation. This volume offers an intuitive
introduction to the theories of the firm as well as simple formal
models of the most important contributions to the literature. It
also outlines the historical evolution of the traditional and
modern theories of the firm. This book is of great interest to
those who study history of economic thought, industrial economics
and organizational studies.

Born into slavery in Hampton County, Virginia, orphaned soon
thereafter, and raised for almost two years among Native Americans,
the charismatic Rev. Peter Thomas Stanford (c. 1860-May 20, 1909)
rose from humble and challenging beginnings to emerge as an
inventive and passionate activist and educator who championed
social justice. During the post- Reconstruction era and early
twentieth century, Stanford traversed the United States, Canada,
and England advocating for the rights of African Americans,
including access to educational opportunities; attainment of the
full rights and privileges of citizenship; protections from racial
violence, social stereotyping, and a predatory legal system; and
recognition of the artistic contributions that have shaped national
culture and earned global renown. His imprint on working-class
urban residents, Afro-Canadian settlements, and African American
communities survives in the institutions he led and the works that
presented his imaginative, literate, ardent, and often comic voice.
With a reflection by Highgate Baptist Church's former pastor, Rev.
Dr. Paul Walker, this collection highlights Stanford's writings:
sermons, lectures, newspaper columns, entertainments, and memoirs.
Editors Barbara McCaskill and Sidonia Serafini annotate his life
and work throughout the volume, placing him within the context of
his peers as a writer and editor. As an American expatriate,
Stanford was seminal in redirecting antislavery activism into an
international antilynching movement and a global campaign to
dismantle slavery and slave trading. This book squarely inserts
this influential thinker and activist in the African American
literary canon.
