Crime thriller starring John Cusack, Rebecca Da Costa and Robert De
Niro. Assassin Jack (Cusack) is given a new assignment by his
ruthless boss Dragna (De Niro): he must collect a bag without
looking inside it and stay at a motel until Dragna arrives. At the
motel there are many suspicious characters who all seem to want to
get their hands on the bag and the murder count rises as Jack
protects its contents. He meets prostitute Rivka (Da Costa), who is
hiding out in his room, and is unsure whether he can trust her but
allows her to stay because she knows too much. When Dragna
eventually comes to the motel Jack learns that there is more to the
mission than he first realised...
Introducing Organizational Behaviour and Management is written by
specialists for students who want to think differently about their
understanding of organizational behaviour. This textbook contrasts
perspectives on organizational behaviour, discussing the
alternative critical or controversial thinking and debate. Key
concepts that underpin this diverse subject are identified and
explored in a range of international and everyday examples. This
book employs the principles of adopting a selective rather than
exhaustive approach to introductory organizational behaviour
topics. It applies a conceptual framework to the subject matter,
and seeks to engage the reader throughout.
Answering questions such as whether the interesting parts of
science be conveyed in sermons, poems, pictures and journalism,

and failures of our ancestors can help us understand the position
science comes to occupy now.

'The consciousness of knowing little, need not beget a distrust of
that which he does not know.' In Natural Theology William Paley set
out to prove the existence of God from the evidence of the beauty
and order of the natural world. Famously beginning by comparing the
world to a watch, whose design is self-evident, he goes on to
provide examples from biology, anatomy, and astronomy in order to
demonstrate the intricacy and ingenuity of design that could only
come from a wise and benevolent deity. Paley's legalistic approach
and skilful use of metaphor and analogy were hugely successful, and
equally controversial. Charles Darwin, whose investigations led to
very different conclusions in the Origin of Species, was greatly
influenced by the book's cumulative structure and accessible style.

An ambitious, landmark history of the Scientific Revolution, from
the age of Columbus to the age of Cook In 1492 Columbus set out
across the Atlantic; in 1776 American colonists declared their
independence. Between these two events old authorities
collapsed-Luther's Reformation divided churches, and various
discoveries revealed the ignorance of the ancient Greeks and
Romans. A new, empirical worldview had arrived, focusing now on
observation, experiment, and mathematical reasoning. This engaging
book takes us along on the great voyage of discovery that ushered
in the modern age. David Knight, a distinguished historian of
science, locates the Scientific Revolution in the great era of
global oceanic voyages, which became both a spur to and a metaphor
for scientific discovery. He introduces the well-known heroes of
the story (Galileo, Newton, Linnaeus) as well as lesser-recognized
officers of scientific societies, printers and booksellers who
turned scientific discovery into public knowledge, and editors who
invented the scientific journal. Knight looks at a striking array
of topics, from better maps to more accurate clocks, from a boom in
printing to medical advancements. He portrays science and religion
as engaged with each other rather than in constant conflict; in
fact, science was often perceived as a way to uncover and celebrate
God's mysteries and laws. Populated with interesting characters,
enriched with fascinating anecdotes, and built upon an acute
understanding of the era, this book tells a story as thrilling as
any in human history.

British multi-narrative drama based on the book by John Fores and
directed by Basil Dearden, chronicling a fictional fog-bound day in
the life of London's Heathrow airport. The film offers vignettes of
the lives of various disparate characters including pilot Gus
Randall (Anthony Steel), whose chronic gambling problem is putting
his life at risk, chief duty officer Nick Milbourne (Robert
Beatty), who yearns to be a pilot himself, American engineer Bill
(David Lorenz), who is in love with Jewish girl Leah (Margo
Lorenz), and Captain Brent (James Robertson Justice), whose
concerns about the design of a new aircraft prove to be
well-founded.
Disembodied research erects false dichotomies between flesh and
reason, and between the corporeal and the social. By contrast,
Torkild Thanem and David Knights engage with approaches and
practices that exploit the body's capacity to generate knowledge,
craft lively accounts, and create fleshy concepts. These approaches
enrich our understanding of how people live, work, and interact
with their bodies within the social world. Thanem and Knights
discuss methods, practices, and personal experiences which involve
bodies in the research process - in generating and analysing
empirical material, reflecting on the work they do as researchers,
and turning research into written text. Embodied Research Methods
is an important and practical resource for undergraduate and
postgraduate students across the social sciences, and a
thought-provoking read for researchers in these areas.

Of all the inventions of the nineteenth century, the scientist is
one of the most striking. The ideas, discoveries and inventions of
nineteenth-century scientists transformed the world: lives were
longer and healthier, cities and empires grew, societies became
urban rather than agrarian, the local became global. This book
tells that story.

This synthesis of landscape change and human occupation in the
Trent Valley is based on more than twenty years of research and
includes much previously unpublished material. Each chapter focuses
on a different period from the Pleistocene landscape, Mesolithic
hunter-gatherers, Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age, Late Bronze
Age and Iron Age, to the Roman and medieval periods. Subjects such
as changes in the local vegetation and fauna, geomorphology,
agriculture, burials, domestic settlements and industries are
discussed with examples taken from archaeological investigations in
the valley.
`The authors bring a spark of vitality and life to an area that could be cynically viewed as a series of conflicting fads and fashions....I would recommend anyone in the process of reviewing or designing an entrepreneurship development course to consider the benefits that this book would bring to the teaching process' - Entrepreneurship and Innovation `Using fiction in the classroom as an approach to stimulating the study of people in organizations is well-established. What this book contributes is a way of exploring some of the existential elements of life in organizations, which are typically difficult to study. It will be on my reading lists. Hopefully, this example, and regrettably few others which exist, will contribute in the long term to the reformulation of how the lived experience of organizational life may be explored in the classroom' - Leadership & Organization Development Journal Based on courses taught by the authors over many years, this innovative text is a lively and accessible analysis of people at work and the problems they have to confront. The student is introduced to a range of key themes in management such as: power and identity; consumption and bureaucracy; rational choice and meaning all through the medium of characters and situations in contemporary literature. The clear theoretical framework, supported by footnotes, summaries and further reading guides, makes this an introduction to management the student will find useful as well as enjoyable.

This is a complete, illustrated catalogue of the painting and
sculpture of Pop Art pioneer Gerald Laing (1936-2011), who shot to
fame in the 1960s with his large-scale, iconic paintings of
film-stars such as Brigitte Bardot and Anna Karina, conveyed in
styles and colours that aped the crude but powerful printing
processes of mass advertising. In 1964 Laing moved to New York and
transformed effortlessly from Pop artist to abstract minimalist,
showing works in the seminal Primary Structures exhibition of 1966
and forming lasting friendships with leading lights of the US art
world, such as Andy Warhol, Larry Poons, Roy Lichtenstein and Larry
Bell. A self-imposed exile to a restored Scottish castle in 1969
removed him from the art world's centre, but allowed him the space
to develop a more personal, sculptural vocabulary in which the hard
edges of his abstraction gradually gave way to anthropomorphic
form.This catalogue raisonne covers each distinct phase of Laing's
career and includes a fully illustrated catalogue of his works
alongside comprehensive related reference material: chronology,
exhibition history and list of public collections.An introductory
essay by Michael Findlay, a close friend of Laing, provides an
overview of his artistic development while essays by gallerist
Lyndsey Ingram, curator and writer Robert Upstone and Marco
Livingstone, a leading authority on Pop Art, examine specific
periods and aspects of Laing's practice.
Recent years have seen a radical upheaval in use of IT in the service and financial sectors. The turbulent conditions created by economic deregulation, political re-regulation and privatisation have produced considerable challenges to the effective and efficient management of IT. Managers Divided is concerned with the use and development of IT in commercial organisations. Its particular focus is on the major shifts that are taking place in the management and use of IT in organisations struggling to come to terms with a rapidly changing market and regulatory environments. It examines the deeply political nature of IT management, innovation and change. The authors analyse the shift from a technology-led to a strategic and marketing-led use of IT. They study the use and development of IT through detailed localised studies of management practice that are understood to be influenced by, and have consequences for, broader socio-political, economic, organisational, and technological conditions. Graduates and undergraduates studying corporate and strategic management, management information systems, work and employment gender research, organisation studies and finance will find this book an invaluable asset. Information Systems specialists and practitioners in financial services will find the book a useful source of information.
