the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete
Ploszek), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and
Raphael (Alan Ritchson). The turtle's arch nemesis Shredder (Brian
Tee) has returned and employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute
scientist Dr. Stockman (Tyler Perry) to create some mutants of his
own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and
Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly). Meanwhile, the evil Kraang (voice of
Fred Armisen) has arrived from Dimension X to lead an invasion of
New York City. With the help of journalist April O'Neil (Megan Fox)
and vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the turtles face a fight
on two fronts to save the city from certain destruction.
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.

Big budget, CGI-animated update of the classic Dr Seuss parable,
with Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett and Seth Rogen among
the actors providing the voice talent. A jungle elephant named
Horton (Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a
solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly
pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his
other animal pals are convinced he's gone crazy and resolve to do
something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle
against these impossible odds to prevent disaster.
Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman lend
their voices to this CGI-animated comedy based on the line of toys
made by Lego. The wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is determined
to destroy the Lego universe and rebuild it using glue - which goes
against the very nature of Lego. Mistaken as the 'Special', the
only surviving Master Builder, the rather ordinary Emmet (Pratt) is
selected to lead a group of figures on a mission to put a stop to
Lord Business's evil plan. Emmet is helped by wise wizard Vitruvius
(Freeman), tough girl Wyldstyle (Banks) and DC superhero Batman
(Arnett), but can he find something extraordinary within himself in
order to save the world? The film also features the voices of
Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Jonah
Hill. The film won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film and was nominated
for Best Original Song at the Oscars.
PAPERBACK FOR SALE IN AFRICA ONLY Imagined or actual returns to a
"homeland" in African literature are examined in relation to
changing concepts of identity, belonging, migration and space. This
special issue focuses on literary texts by African writers in which
the protagonist returns to his/her "original" or ancestral "home"
in Africa from other parts of the world. Ideas of return -
intentional and actual - have been a consistent feature of the
literature of Africa and the African diaspora: from Equiano's
autobiography in 1789 to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 2013 novel
Americanah. African literature has represented returnees in a range
of locations and dislocations including having a sense of
belonging, being alienated in a country they can no longer
recognize, or experiencing a multiple sense of place. Contributors,
writing on literature from the 1970s to thepresent, examine the
extent to which the original place can be reclaimed with or without
renegotiations of "home". GUEST EDITORS: HELEN COUSINS, Reader in
Postcolonial Literature at Newman University, Birmingham,
UK;PAULINE DODGSON-KATIYO, was formerly Head of English at Newman
University, Birmingham, UK, and Dean of the School of Arts at
Anglia Ruskin University. Series Editor: Ernest Emenyonu is
Professor of Africana Studies atthe University of Michigan-Flint,

From acclaimed fantasy author Mindee Arnett comes an epic,
adventurous story of a young mercenary magic-user trying to escape
the oppressive island of Riven—and a young noblewoman trying to
change it forever. Mars Darksvane wants out. Out from under the
thumb of Una, the crime boss who pulled him off the streets as a
child and trained him as an assassin; out from the island country
of Riven, where magic, in the form of a dangerous material called
Ice, allows the rich to live in luxury and keeps the poor in
thrall. Mars is a secret adept—a person born with the ability to
channel the magic that flows beneath Riven—and while his power
gives him abilities useful to an assassin, it also makes him a
target. And when his last mission ends in tragedy, Mars finally
decides it's time to escape to the mainland. No magic, no history,
a new life on his own. But Una has other ideas. If Mars wants his
freedom, he's going to have to perform a final job: protecting Fura
Torvald—the heiress of the rich and powerful Torvald kith, and
the daughter of the last man Mars was sent to kill—and stealing
from her a mysterious object known only as the Primer. Mars has no
interest in Fura or whatever the Primer is, nor in Riven's corrupt
and oppressive politics; he just wants to do his job and get out.
But as Mars comes to know more about Fura, the Primer, and the true
nature of the power in Riven, he realizes that he will soon have to
take a side in a fight he has avoided his entire life. Which side,
however, he does not yet know.
Communication and Learning in an Age of Digital Transformation
provides cross-disciplinary perspectives on digitization as social
transformation and its impact on communication and learning. This
work presents openness within its interpretation of the digital and
its impact on learning and communication, acknowledging historical
contexts and contemporary implications emerging from discourse on
digitization. The book presents a triangulation of different
research perspectives. These perspectives, which range from digital
resistance parks and cyber-religious questions to
cultural-scientific media-theoretical reflections, point to the
performative openness of the analysis. The book represents an
interdisciplinary approach and opens a space for understanding the
social complexity of digital transformations in teaching and
learning. This book will be of great interest to academics, post
graduate students and researchers in the field of digital learning,
communication and education research.

Soils and sediments influence current processes, preserve evidence
of past processes, indicate evolutionary phases in landscapes and
provide a basis for relative and absolute chronologies. They
provide an important key to the integration of short-term process
studies and investigation of longer-term landform evolution. This
book, first published in 1985, has been arranged to provide wide
temporal and spatial coverage, with studies ranging from historic
to geologic time scales and micro- to macro-spatial scales. The
interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in
contributions from soil scientists, engineering geologists,
hydrologists and geomorphologists.
Heavy metal is a violent, head-bashing music complete, in its live
performances, with its own arena of rage and celebration, the mosh
pit. It is a music in the red corner of society, loud, angry, and,
to a well-tuned ear, practically intolerable. And yet, the art form
radiates a message about American adolescents well worth examining
and comprehend
Originally published in 1938, Arnett's Bibliopegia was one of the
first manuals of bookbinding to be published in Britain, and is
both more significant than the Cowie manual before it, and
illustrated. Bibliopegia appeared at a time of immense changes in
the structure of the trade which were brought about by the
introduction of new techniques and equipment, and this in turn was
precipitated by the rapid evolution of industry and society in
general. This book provides an interesting insight into early
nineteenth-century English binding practices.

'With Teeth is a wonderfully sticky novel about motherhood,
partnership, sex and love. Kristen Arnett lets her characters have
the run of the place, and it's delicious fun to watch them do, say,
and think things they'll regret' Emma Straub, author of All Adults
Here 'Sublimely weird, fluently paced, brazenly funny and gayer
still' Naoise Dolan, New York Times 'A darkly funny, brutally
honest story about a woman undone by motherhood . . . With Teeth
digs in deep and doesn't let go. I truly loved it' Jennifer Weiner,
bestselling author of Mrs Everything and That Summer If she's being
honest, Sammie Lucas is scared of her son. Working from home in the
close quarters of their Florida house, she lives with one wary eye
peeled on Samson, a sullen, unknowable boy who resists her every
attempt to bond with him. Uncertain in her own feelings about
motherhood, she tries her best - driving, cleaning, cooking,
prodding him to finish projects for school - while growing
increasingly resentful of Monika, her confident but absent wife. As
Samson grows from feral toddler to surly teenager, Sammie's life
begins to deteriorate into a mess of unruly behaviour, and her
struggle to create a picture-perfect queer family unravels. When
her son's hostility finally spills over into physical aggression,
Sammie must confront her role in the mess - and the possibility
that it will never be clean again. Blending the warmth and wit of
Arnett's breakout hit, Mostly Dead Things, with a candid take on
queer family dynamics, With Teeth is a thought-provoking portrait
of the delicate fabric of family - and the many ways it can be torn
apart.
