Drama based on the teenage years of writer and director Lori Petty.
Agnes (Jennifer Lawrence) is the oldest of three daughters who
finds herself caring for her younger siblings when her single
mother (Selma Blair) turns to prostitution, drugs and alcohol after
meeting a pimp named Duval (Bokeem Woodbine), who seems to have a
fondness for Agnes. With their house overrun by gamblers, criminals
and other seedy characters the girls struggle to lead a normal
life. Cammie (Chloë Grace Moretz) escapes the chaos of the house
only to sit in bars and Bee (Sophi Bairley) wants nothing more than
to run away and be adopted, while Agnes tries to earn enough money
to support her family and manage the expectations of being a star
basketball player.
The bleakest winter on record and a gruesome discovery bring DCI
David Morton to the Hackney Marshes in search of a clue, any clue,
as to the identity of a dead child found near the Old River Lea.
Meanwhile, closer to home, Morton's long suffering wife Sarah comes
to the conclusion that her man has been doing more than work during
his late nights at the office. As he closes in on the mystery of
the boy's identity his life begins to crumble and a terrible wrong
is done to someone he loves. With all of London watching, Morton's
impeccable ethics will be tested to their limit as he is forced to
choose between doing what is right and what is legal. Cleaver
Square is a stand-alone Police Procedural featuring DCI David
Morton.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
