Historical drama starring Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close. In 1183,
after the death of his eldest son, King Henry II (Stewart) must
decide which of his three remaining sons will succeed him. As the
time for him to announce his successor approaches, Henry frees his
imprisoned wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine (Close), who he held captive
after she plotted to overthrow him. It soon becomes clear, however,
that Eleanor favours first child Richard (Andrew Howard), while
Henry sees his youngest, John (Rafe Spall), as the next in line
but, in the weeks ahead, the King begins to have serious doubts if
any of his sons are capable of becoming the new ruler.
Globalization and Change: The Transformation of Global Capitalism
explores the origins, development, and transformation of
globalization from a critical and historical perspective. Berch
Berberoglu brings together eight essays authored by prominent
sociological scientists from across the nation that examine the
dynamics of globalization through an analysis of class relations
and class struggles that define the contemporary global political
economy. By undertaking a careful examination of the contradictions
inherent in capitalist globalization, this book provides a thorough
understanding of the issues behind the global capitalist economy
and the struggle against globalization, while at the same time
offering a viable solution to the growing exploitation of labor
throughout the world. This study on global capitalism, informed by
class analysis, is essential to anyone interested in the political
implications of globalization and the unfolding class struggles.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and
dimension. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics is
rapidly expanding into human en- ronments and vigorously engaged in
its new challenges. Interacting with, assi- ing, serving, and
exploring with humans, the emerging robots will increasingly touch
people and their lives. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the
body of knowledge robotics has p- duced is revealing a much wider
range of applications reaching across diverse research areas and
scientific disciplines, such as: biomechanics, haptics, neuros-
ences, virtual simulation, animation, surgery, and sensor networks
among others. In return, the challenges of the new emerging areas
are proving an abundant source of stimulation and insights for the
field of robotics. It is indeed at the int- section of disciplines
that the most striking advances happen. The Springer Tracts in
Advanced Robotics (STAR) is devoted to bringing to the research
community the latest advances in the robotics field on the basis of
their significance and quality. Through a wide and timely
dissemination of critical - search developments in robotics, our
objective with this series is to promote more exchanges and
collaborations among the researchers in the community and c-
tribute to further advancements in this rapidly growing field.
