Tim Burton directs this biographical drama starring Christoph Waltz
and Amy Adams. The film follows the story of American artist
Margaret Keane (Adams), who, in the 1960s, allowed her husband
Walter (Waltz) to claim credit for her artwork, believing that a
female artist could not find success through painting. The Keanes
acquired huge amounts of wealth through Margaret's work and the
paintings were in high demand throughout their time living together
as husband and wife. However, when they later became separated,
Margaret announced to the world that she was in fact the true
author of the paintings, sparking a long-drawn-out legal battle
between her and her estranged husband... Adams won a Golden Globe
Award for her performance.
In 1666, London's citizens woke to see the skyline above their
city's cramped wooden houses ablaze. The Great Fire of London is a
hauntingly beautiful visual re-telling of one of the most
well-known disasters in the city's history. To commemorate the
350th anniversary of the fire, powerful and sumptuous drawings from
the new east London illustrator, James Weston Lewis, bring the
events of November 1666 to life in this stunning gift book. Lewis's
drawings take readers on a journey, from the single smouldering
coal that falls out of the baker's oven to the swirling clouds of
ash that engulf the city and then in to the very heart of the fire
itself. As the pages turn, you can witness London burning to the
ground and then rebuilding again. Children will love examining the
rich detail of each spread, from the detailed city map to the
drawings of London before, during and after the fire took hold.
This book takes the dramatic historical information surrounding the
Great Fire of London and transforms it into a breathtaking story
that will transfix readers of all ages.
In the wake of what has come to be called the 'cultural turn', it
is often asked how the state should respond to the different and
sometimes conflicting justice claims made by its citizens and what,
ultimately, is the purpose of justice in culturally diverse
societies. Building upon the work of a diversity of theorists, this
book demonstrates that there is a distinct 'epistemic' tradition of
liberalism that can be used to critique contemporary responses to
cultural diversity and their underlying principles of justice. It
critically examines multicultural, nationalist and liberal
egalitarian approaches and argues that an epistemic account of
liberalism, that emphasises social complexity rather than cultural
diversity or homogeneity, is the most appropriate response to the
question of justice in modern culturally diverse societies.
Epistemic Liberalism will be of interest to students and scholars
of contemporary political theory and philosophy, liberal political
theory and the politics of culture and identity.
How should the State respond to the different identity-based
justice claims made by its citizens? To what extent should majority
societies accede to the claims of immigrant groups whose values are
so different to, and sometimes in conflict with, their own? Drawing
on the work of economist and political theorist Friederich Hayek,
the author builds a major critique of contemporary responses to
cultural diversity and their underlying principles of justice.
Critically examining multicultural, nationalist and liberal
egalitarian approaches, the author claims that in their differing
ways these schools of thought fail to recognise the proper task of
cultural justice. Tebble claims one of the principal tasks of
justice is to go beyond the provision of institutions that assume a
particular conception of the good, or of an idealised vision of
relations between different communities and the values they
endorse. Instead, the book emphasises the need for strictly neutral
institutions, founded upon the commitment to individual freedom and
equality, that permit the discovery of what cultural justice
requires. Epistemological Liberalism seeks to defend an
epistemological' account of liberalism that emphasises social
complexity rather than cultural diversity or homogeneity and which,
it is claimed, is the most appropriate response to the challenge
facing modern, culturally diverse societies. An invaluable
contribution to contemporary debates about justice, this book will
be of interest to students and scholars of culture and identity,
contemporary political theory/philosophy and liberal political
theory.
Manual flight control system design for fighter aircraft is one of
the most demanding problems in automatic control. Fighter aircraft
dynamics generally have highly coupled uncertain and nonlinear
dynamics. Multivariable control design techniques offer a solution
to this problem. Robust Multivariable Flight Control provides the
background, theory and examples for full envelope manual flight
control system design. It gives a versatile framework for the
application of advanced multivariable control theory to aircraft
control problems. Two design case studies are presented for the
manual flight control of lateral/directional axes of the VISTA-F-16
test vehicle and an F-18 trust vectoring system. They demonstrate
the interplay between theory and the physical features of the
systems.
Print Culture, Agency, and Regionality in the Hand Press Period
illuminates the diverse ways that people in the British regional
print trades exerted their agency through interventions in regional
and national politics as well as their civic, commercial, and
cultural contributions. Works printed in regional communities were
a crucial part of developing narratives of local industrial,
technological, and ideological progression. By moving away from
understanding of print cultures outside of London as
‘provincial’, however, this book argues for a new understanding
of ‘region’ as part of a network of places, emphasising
opportunities for collaboration and creation that demonstrate the
key role of regions within larger communities extending from the
nation to the emerging sense of globality in this period. Through
investigations of the men and women of the print trades outside of
London, this collection casts new light on the strategies of
self-representation evident in the work of regional print cultures,
as well as their contributions to individual regional identities
and national narratives.

Alan Davies returns as the lateral thinking sleuth, this time
investigating the disappearance of a young woman after spending the
night in 'The Nightmare Room' of an old Gothic house. For 70 years,
'Metropolis' has guarded the secret of how a Harvard geneticist,
Eli Mencken (Patrick Poletti), vanished after spending the night in
an attic room where the malevolent spirit of a madman is said to
dwell. Now, when magician Lance Gessler (Nicholas Boulton)'s
beautiful young assistant Elodie (Jenna Harrison) goes missing
after sheltering there from a storm, Jonathan Creek, alongside the
ever sceptical Joey Ross (Sheridan Smith), sets out to solve the
mystery.
Is it the central purpose of American antitrust policy to
encourage decentralization of economic power? Or is it to promote
"consumer welfare"? Is there a painful trade-off between market
dominance and economic "efficiency"? What is the proper role of
government in this area? In recent years the public policy debate
on these core questions has been marked by a cacophony of divergent
opinions--theorists against empiricists, apostles of the "new
learning" against defenders of the traditional
structure-conduct-performance paradigm, "laissez-faire" advocates
against "interventionists." Utilizing a distinctively innovative
format, Walter Adams and James Brock examine these issues in the
context of a courtroom dialogue among a proponent of the new
learning (Chicago School), a prosecuting attorney, and a U.S.
district judge. In contrast to bloodless "scientific" treatises or
ideologically inspired polemical tracts, this book lays bare the
central arguments in the debate about free-market economics and the
latent assumptions and disguised terminology on which those
arguments are based. The dialogue is both gripping and
entertaining--designed by the authors to be reminiscent at times of
the Theater of the Absurd.

"Adam Smith Goes to Moscow" is a captivating dialogue between
the head of a hypothetical, formerly socialist East European
country and a fervently market-minded American adviser. Their
spirited give-and-take highlights the monumental political as well
as economic complexities currently faced by the former Soviet bloc
countries as they struggle to transform themselves into free market
economies.
The Bigness Complex confronts head-on the myth that organizational
giantism leads to economic efficiency and well-being in the modern
age. On the contrary, it demonstrates how bigness undermines our
economic productivity and progress, endangers our democratic
freedoms, and exacerbates our economic problems and challenges.
This new edition has a thoroughly updated variety of issues,
examples, and new developments, including government bailouts of
the airline industry; regulation of biotechnology; the fiasco of
recent electricity deregulation; and mergers and consolidations in
oil, radio, and grocery retailing. The analysis is framed in the
timeless context of American distrust of concentrations of power.
The authors show how both the left and the right fail to address
the central problem of power in formulating their diagnoses and
recommendations. The book concludes with an alternative public
philosophy as a viable guidepost for public policy toward business
in a free-enterprise democracy.
In 1909, young William F. Buckley Sr. (1881-1958), who grew up in
the dusty South Texas town of San Diego, graduated from the
University of Texas law school and headed for Mexico City. Fluent
in Spanish, familiar with Mexican traditions, and soon fit to
practice law south of the border, Buckley was headed up the aisle
to vast wealth and cultural power. On the way, he took a front-row
seat at the Mexican Revolution and played a key role in steering
the nascent oil industry through tumultuous and dangerous times.
This book for the first time tells the story of the man behind the
family that would become nothing short of a conservative
institution, reaching its apogee in the career of William F.
Buckley Jr., arguably the most prominent conservative commentator
of the twentieth century. Buckley witnessed the overthrow and exit
of President Porfirio DIaz, the rise of Madero, and the coup of
General Victoriano Huerta, all while building the Pantepec Oil
Company, the most profitable small petroleum producer in Mexico. He
faced down Pancho Villa, survived encounters with hired assassins,
evaded snipers in the streets of Veracruz, gambled and won in many
a business venture-and ultimately was expelled from the country. As
the narrative follows Buckley from his small-town Texas beginnings
to the founding of a family dynasty, the streak of independence and
distrust of government that would become the Buckley hallmark can
be seen in the making. An eventful chapter in the life and career
of a singular character, this dramatic account of a man and his
moment is a document of political and historical significance-but
it is also a remarkable story, told with irresistible brio.
