Extended cut of Francis Ford Coppola's tale of gang rivalries in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, the story depicts the ongoing feud between the rich middle-class 'Socs' and the working-class 'Greasers' from across town, which include 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, his brothers Darrel and Sodapop and 16-year-old Johnny Cade.

The simmering feud escalates into murder, revenge and betrayal when some of the Greasers get too close to one of the Socs' girlfriends.

How did the United States, a nation known for protecting the "right to remain silent" become notorious for condoning and using controversial tactics like water boarding and extraordinary rendition to extract information? What forces determine the laws that define acceptable interrogation techniques and how do they shift so quickly from one extreme to another?
In Confessions of Guilt, esteemed scholars George C. Thomas III and Richard A. Leo tell the story of how, over the centuries, the law of interrogation has moved from indifference about extreme force to concern over the slightest pressure, and back again. The history of interrogation in the Anglo-American world, they reveal, has been a swinging pendulum rather than a gradual continuum of violence.
Exploring a realist explanation of this pattern, Thomas and Leo demonstrate that the law of interrogation and the process of its enforcement are both inherently unstable and highly dependent on the perceived levels of threat felt by a society. Laws react to fear, they argue, and none more so than those that govern the treatment of suspected criminals.
From England of the late eighteenth century to America at the dawn of the twenty-first, Confessions of Guilt traces the disturbing yet fascinating history of interrogation practices, new and old, and the laws that govern them. Thomas and Leo expertly explain the social dynamics that underpin the continual transformation of interrogation law and practice and look critically forward to what their future might hold.

Pediatric arrhythmias present numerous challenges to pediatric cardiologists and other practitioners who see pediatric patients, including pediatricians, family physicians, emergency physicians, residents, fellows, and other clinicians. Arrhythmias in Children: A Case-Based Approach features practical methods for diagnosing and treating arrhythmias in these patients across all settings. Nearly three dozen real-world scenarios are presented, followed by a discussion of the diagnosis, clinical thinking process involved, treatment options, expected outcomes, and how to manage anticipated and unanticipated outcomes. These practical, realistic cases provide a unique and engaging way of approaching these challenging patient scenarios. Uses a case-based approach for a full spectrum of pediatric arrythmias in the newborn, child, pre-teen, and teenager. Presents history and physical, differential diagnoses, tests to order, and practical plans of action. Includes a section on arrythmias in special circumstances. Models clinical thinking skills for a wide number of real-world patient situations. Reviews pertinent clinical guidelines, treatment, and follow up.

Let's Just Agree to Disagree is a one-of-a-kind book that will help with the line of communication within a relationship. Too often we refuse to confront certain issues that could make or break a relationship. This book will provide an insight on how to broach those subject matters. Our goal is for you and your partner to be totally open and honest with each other, even though you don't agree on a specific topic. There is light at the end of the tunnel, if you just agree to disagree.

A novel explanation of how EU member states overcome their divergent preferences to reach agreement on common foreign policies, with fourteen in-depth case studies covering diplomatic and security issues, enlargement, trade, development and environmental protection.

This study examines the development of Third World solidarity within the broader historical context of changing hegemonic power systems, from Pax Britannia to Pax Americana. Thomas focuses on the political, economic, and racial structures that are fundamental to hegemonic supremacy over peripheral and semiperipheral states, and he analyzes the divergent modes of Third World incorporation (subordination) into the world system. He concludes that the racial structure of global apartheid that dominated the world system during the colonial period is re-emerging under the rubric of a "New World Order."

Wave Pipelining: Theory and CMOS Implementation provides a coherent presentation of the theory of wave pipelined operation of digital circuits and discusses practical design techniques for the realization of wave pipelined circuits in CMOS technology. Wave pipeling is a timing methodology used in digital systems to enhance performance while conserving the number of data registers used. This is achieved by applying new data to the inputs of a combinatorial logic block before the previous outputs are available. In contrast to conventional pipelining, system performance is limited by differences in maximum and minimum circuit delay rather than maximum circuit delays. Realization of practical systems using this technique requires accurate system level and circuit level timing analysis. At the system level, timing constraints identifying valid regions of operation for correct clocking of wave pipelined circuits are presented. Both single stage and multiple stage systems including feedback are considered. At the circuit level, since performance is determined by the maximum circuit delay difference, highly accurate estimates of both maximum and minimum delays are needed. Thus, timing analysis based on traditional gate delay models is not sufficient. For CMOS circuits, data dependent delay models considering the effect of simultaneous multiple input switchings must be used. An algorithm using these delay models for accurate analysis of small to medium sized circuits is implemented in a prototype timing analyzer, XTV. Results are given for a set of benchmark circuits.

From Descartes to Hume, philosophers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries developed a dialectic of radically conflicting claims about the nature of the self. In the Paralogisms of The Critique of Pure Reason, Kant comes to terms with this dialectic, and with the character of the experiencing self. Powell seeks to elucidate these difficult texts, in part by applying to the Paralogisms insights drawn from Kant's Transcendental Deduction. His reading shows that the structure of the Paralogisms provides an essential key to understanding both Kant's critique of `rational psychology' and his theory of self-consciousness. As Kant realized, the ways in which we must represent ourselves to ourselves have import not only for epistemology, but for our view of persons and of our own immortality, and for moral philosophy as well. Kant's theory of self-consciousness is also shown to have implications for contemporary discussions of the problem of other minds, functionalism, and the problem of indexical self-reference.
