Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson star in this bleak drama directed
by David Michôd. Ten years after an economic collapse has made life
tough in the Australian outback, Eric (Pearce) travels from place
to place in his car, which is his only remaining possession, and
struggles to make ends meet. When a group of wandering thieves
steal his car after their own truck gets damaged and leave an
injured member behind, Eric sets off to track them down. In his
pursuit he meets up with Rey (Pattinson), the abandoned member of
the group, who he believes will have an idea of the gang's
whereabouts. Can Eric hunt them down and regain the only thing he
has left?
This book applies contemporary macroeconomic theory and econometric
modelling techniques in order to address policy issues relating to
the CFA Franc Zone, a group of francophone African Countries
sharing a common currency that is linked to the French Franc /
Euro. Within this methodological framework, the author analyses the
way in which the monetary institutions of the CFA influence
macroeconomic development and policy formation.
Contents: 1. An Introduction to the Institutions and Members of the CFA Franc Zone 2. CFA Membership, Exchange Rate Pegs and Inflation 3. Short-Run Monetary Policy Formation: Comparing the CFA with Anglophone Africa 4. Public Debt and the Strategic Interaction of Monetary and Fiscal Policy 5. Asset Demand and the Monetary Transmission Mechanism: the Case of Côte d'Ivoire 6. Tests of Capital Market integration between the Franc Zone and France 7. Savings, Investment and Franc Zone Membership: Time-Series Evidence from a Comparison of Côte d'Ivoire with Kenya 8. CFA Membership and the Role of Relative Price Stability in Investment Performance 9. Conclusion and Suggestions for Further Study
Death, Gender and Ethnicity examines the ways in which gender and ethnicity shape the experiences of dying and bereavement, taking as its focus the diversity of ways through which the universal event of death is encountered. It brings together accounts of how these experiences are actually managed with analyses of a range of representations of dying and grieving in order to provide a more theoretical approach to the relationship between death, gender and ethnicity. Though death and dying have been an increasingly important focus for academics and clinicians over the last thirty years, much of this work provides little insight into the impact of gender and ethnicity on the experience. The result is often a universalising representation which fails to take account of the personally unique and culturally specific experiences associated with a death. Drawing on a range of detailed case studies, Death, Gender and Ethnicity seeks to develop a more sensitive theoretical approach which will be invaluable reading for students and practitioners in health studies, sociology, social work and medical anthropology.
Neolithic Horizons investigates some of our most remarkable and
iconic archaeological sites: the great public monuments at
Stonehenge and Avebury and others like them and places them within
their landscape context-the rolling chalklands of Wessex. Rightly
famous the world over, these monuments are complemented by less
well-known, contemporary, foci such as the earthen circles at
Knowlton, in Dorset, or Marden, in Wiltshire and seen to be part of
an earth-shifting tradition that extended right across the region
and traced back to our very earliest monuments, long barrows and
causewayed enclosures. After Stonehenge, the tradition continued
with the construction of enormous numbers of circular burial mounds
along the river valleys and hillsides. Indeed, few other regions in
Europe can match the scale and intensity of development at these
ceremonial complexes. These locations, places of ritual, must
nevertheless be viewed as part of a wider landscape; one where
features of the land are continually changing according to the
influence of local inhabitants.Whilst charting a remarkable
archaeological legacy, this book reveals the developing landscape
of grassland, settlements and fields; the product of the early
farming communities who lived their lives in the shadow of the
monuments.
The chronological disjuncture, LBK longhouses have widely been
considered to provide ancestral influence for both rectangular and
trapezoidal long barrows and cairns, but with the discovery and
excavation of more houses in recent times is it possible to observe
evidence of more contemporary inspiration. What do the features
found beneath long mounds tell us about this and to what extent do
they represent domestic structures. Indeed, how can we distinguish
between domestic houses or halls and those that may have been
constructed for ritual purposes or ended up beneath mounds? Do so
called 'mortuary enclosures' reflect ritual or domestic
architecture and did side ditches always provide material for a
mound or for building construction? This collection of papers seeks
to explore the interface between structures often considered to be
those of the living with those for the dead.
