A young English couple backpacking across Australia run into a spot of bother when they catch a lift with a sinister American.
Hardly an advisable enterprise in this day and age, but laddish Brit Alex (Shaun Evans) and his well-bred girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner) set out to backpack across Australia. Having a lovely time, they think their good fortune is boundless when offered a lift by Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz), a handsome American with a car. Tension builds among the three as Sophie quickly finds herself drawn to the alpha-dog charms of the winsome yank. It's Taylor's custom to take Polaroid snaps of everyone he meets on his travels and, when Alex finds a compromising snap of Sophie among them, the outback air turns positively red with malice.
The jaw-dropping wide shot scenery and tight, claustrophobic shots inside the car add to the brooding malevolent mood in this chest-gripping drama.
The functioning of the gold standard has recently been at the heart of explanations of the interwar depression, particularly as a result of the research of Barry Eichengreen and Peter Temin. In The World Economy and National Economies in the Interwar Slump the interaction between the gold standard and the Great Depression in seven countries is examined by an international team of economists and economic historians.
Whimsical and sinister, each story by Silvina Ocampo is like a
knife of spun sugar that can still pierce between your ribs. A
thief breaks into the house of a psychic with disastrous results, a
bride has her personality subsumed by the previous occupant of her
home, and two men switch destinies for a change of pace. The
Impostor offers a comprehensive collection from one of the
twentieth century's great forgotten woman writers. Here are tales
of doubles and living dolls, angels and demons, a beautiful seer
who writes the autobiography of her own death, and much else that
is mad, sublime, and delicious. With an array spanning the length
of Ocampo's career, these haunting stories are among the world's
strangest and best.
The Theory of Constraints (TOC) - as developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt - has seen a rapid expansion since the publication of his book, The Goal. As with most fast growing areas, you can quickly feel out of touch with new developments. The World of the Theory of Constraints provides a summary of recently published research on TOC. The authors explored databases, and sought out papers and books drawing on as wide a range as possible. Aside from the works by Dr. Goldratt himself, the authors focus on items published since 1990, highlighting the most recent developments in TOC. The scope of the material covers works containing specific reference to TOC, including Synchronous Manufacturing and Constraint Management. The book is organized into three sections. The first section contains an analysis and interpretation of the results of the search. The second provides abstracts on all the material. The third supplies author, keyword, and subject indexes along with a list of books, journals, websites, and publishers. Extensively researched and referenced, The World of the Theory of Constraints furnishes comprehensive material on TOC. The multi-search approach has made this arguably the most exhaustive bibliography on this subject available. If you are researching TOC, this is the best place to start. If you use or teach TOC, you will want this resource.

The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen
countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their
importance for writers, editors, readers, and, especially, for
schools and universities, teachers and students. The study of
anthologies and their contents can be particularly revealing for
many of the questions looming large in critical discourse,
particularly those on canon formation and the relations between
literature and cultural institutions; but researching this corpus
is difficult because it varies greatly in quality, distribution,
and format. The present volume for the first time gathers this mass
of material and organizes it for systematic study. The main section
comprises annotated listings of 1302 short story anthologies: those
with stories from all or most of the countries grouped together,
including a section of English-language anthologies; those from
countries of a region; and those from individual nations. For most
entries a full listing of contents is provided along with brief
commentary. A second section comprises annotated bibliographies of
criticism of the short story, similarly arranged with materials for
Latin America as a whole as well as regionally and nationally. The
volume ends with four indexes: of authors of the stories; of
authors of essays, introductions, and other critical materials; of
titles of the critical works; and of themes. An essential tool for
scholars working on Latin American narrative, this bibliography
will also serve as a practical finding aid for individual writers
and stories.

The values and institutions of the Christian Church remained
massively dominant in early modern English society and culture, but
its theology, liturgy and unity were increasingly disputed. The
period was overall one of institutional conformity and individual
diversity: the centrality of Christian religion was universally
acknowledged; yet the nature of religion and of religious
observance in England changed dramatically during the Reformation,
Renaissance, and Restoration. Further, because English culture was
still biblical and English society was still religious, the state
involved itself in ecclesiastical matters to an extraordinary
extent. Successive political and ecclesiastical administrations
were committed to helping each other, but their attempts to mould
religious beliefs and customs were effectively attempts to modify
English culture. Church and state were complementary, yet because
they were ultimately distinct estates, they could work only, at
best, uneasily in partnership with each other. Cultural output is
thus an ideal lens for examining this period of tension in the
church, state and society of England. The case studies contained in
this volume examine the intersection of politics, religion and
society over the entire early modern period, through distinct
examples of cultural texts produced and cultural practices
followed.

Argues for Ocampo's multifaceted development of ambiguity in
various media and genres on the levels of language, plot and
gender. The critical essays in this volume are dedicated to the
works of Argentine writer Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) and introduce
readers more fully to a figure who has long been a kind of
insider's secret among intellectuals of her country. As the title
suggests, the purpose of the volume is to move beyond the
codification of Ocampo's use of the supernatural, an early
oversimplification of her work. The essays address the quirkiness,
cruelty, violence, and overtsexuality of her works, elements which
have impeded a full understanding of her creative vision. Here it
becomes clear that Silvina Ocampo was a co-contributor to the
literary enterprise of the Sur generation, which produced Jorge
Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Victoria Ocampo, and had a
profound influence on writers of the younger generation, such as
Alejandra Pizarnik, Sylvia Molloy, Marjorie Agosin and others.
