Business Networks in East Asian Capitalisms: Enduring Trends,
Emerging Patterns builds on the foundational studies conducted in
the 1990s by gathering contemporary empirical and theoretical
chapters which explore these themes in a comparative perspective.
The book includes contributions from authors working on the
relationship between personal and business networks in countries
including China, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea,
Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. Authors emphasize enduring
trends in social and business networks and/or track new emerging
patterns, both within East Asian nations or between East Asia and
other regions such as Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Adaptation persists as a major area of inquiry in both film and
literary studies. Over the past two decades, scholars have extended
the debate well beyond George Bluestone's influential Novels into
Film (1957) by taking into account such concerns as intertextuality
and different forms of narrative enabled through new media. A
dominant trend has been to dispense straight away with questions of
fidelity and "faithfulness," the assumption being that such views
are naive, moralistic, and rooted in a cultural prejudice against
the audiovisual. While acknowledging the merits of this
position-namely its complication of the one-way "page-to-screen"
perspective-this collection seeks to put the question of fidelity
back into play. The essays explore the ways in which the newer,
more sophisticated approaches can still accommodate forms of
fidelity between two or more texts without having to reinscribe
untenable distinctions between "original" and "copy," and without
having to argue from a strict media essentialist position that
stages an impasse between linguistic and cinematic means of
articulation. In addition, the scholars in this volume seek to
recognize and account for fidelity's cultural currency among
filmmakers and audiences alike, no matter how impossible fidelity
might be in a literal sense. The selected essays offer an
opportunity to showcase both well established adaptation scholars
(Laura Mulvey, Dudley Andrew, Tom Gunning and James Naremore) and
emerging voices in the field.

Jodie Whittaker stars in this London-set psychological thriller.
Mia (Whittaker) is an emotionally fragile young nurse struggling to
come to terms with her mother's recent death. When an old woman in
her building commits suicide in front of her, Mia becomes intensely
curious about her. Admitted into the old woman's flat by the
mysterious caretaker, Max (David Warner), Mia is shocked to
discover that it is filled with mementoes and belongings from Mia's
own past, including pictures of her abusive former lover Ludwig
(Dougray Scott). So begins a journey into her past in which Mia
finally learns to accept her own mistakes and faults, including her
strong affection for the partner who hurt her, even as she tries to
avoid the tragic ending that fate appears to have in store for her.
Emilia Fox co-stars.
Adult cognitive development is one of the most important yet most
neglected aspects in the study of human psychology. Although the
development of cognition and intelligence during childhood and
adolescence is of great interest to researchers, educators, and
parents, many assume that this development stops progressing in any
significant manner when people reach adulthood. In fact, cognition
and intelligence do continue to progress in very significant ways.
In this second edition of Developmental Influences on Adult
Intelligence, K. Warner Schaie presents the history, latest data,
and results from the Seattle Longitudinal Study (SLS). The purpose
of the SLS is to study various aspects of psychological development
during the adult years. Initiated in 1956 and focusing on a random
sample of 500 adults ranging in age from 25 to 95 years old, the
SLS is organized around five questions: Does intelligence change
uniformly throughout adulthood, or are there different
life-course-ability patterns? At what age and at what magnitude can
decrement in ability be reliably detected? What are the patterns
and magnitude of generational differences? What accounts for
individual differences in age-related change in adulthood? Can the
intellectual decline that increases with age be reversed by
educational intervention? The first edition of the book provided an
account of the SLS through the 1998 (seventh wave) data collection
and of the associated family study through the 1996 (second wave)
data collection. Since that time, Schaie and his collaborators have
conducted several additional data collections. These include a
further longitudinal follow-up in 2005/06, a longitudinal follow-up
and 3rd data collection for the family study in 2003/04, and
acquisition of a 3rd generation sample in 2002. Hence, virtually
all of the content from the first edition has been updated and
expanded, and three new chapters are included on Health Behaviors
and Intellectual Functioning, Biological Influences on Cognitive
Change, and Prediction of Individual Cognitive Decline. This new
edition is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners
specializing in adult development, aging, and adult education, as
well as students and faculty in developmental, cognitive, and
social psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work, and the social
sciences interested in issues of human aging.
