A feature-length animated version of Roald Dahl's novel. Sophie is
a little girl who befriends BFG (David Jason), a big friendly
giant, but soon discovers that his brethren aren't all as
good-natured. It's up to her to convince the Queen of England that
the likes of the Bloodbottler, the Trogglehumper and the
Fleshlumpeater should be brought to book.

Providing a much-needed perspective on exclusion and
discrimination, this book offers a distinct spatial approach to the
topic of hate studies. Of interest to academics and students of
human geography, criminology, sociology and beyond, the book
highlights enduring, diverse and uneven experiences of hate in
contemporary society. The collection explores the intersecting
experiences of those targeted on the basis of assumed and
historically marginalized identities. It illustrates the role of
specific spaces and places in shaping hate, why space matters for
how hate is encountered and the importance of space in challenging
cultures of hate. This analysis of who is able to use or abuse
space offers a novel insight into discourses of hate and lived
experiences of victimization.

First Published in 1968. This second edition includes the 'Tragedy
of Negrais' as a new appendix. Originally published in 1928 for the
University of Rangoon and the sequel three years later- 'Tragedy of
Negrais' as a journal for the Burma Research Society. During the
Japanese occupation of Burma from 1942 to 1945 unsold copies were
lost or destroyed. This volume is a reprint of the original
research into the East India Company's records at the India Office.
They tell the story of English relations with Burma from the days
of Elizabeth I to the beginning of the long break which started in
1762, which started due to the incident in 1759 known as the
'massacre of Negrais' and ended in 1795.
Steeped in honey, Juventius, your golden eyes, and as sweet too
when I press my lips to them - three hundred thousand kisses is not
close to enough For centuries, evidence of queer love in the
ancient world was ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few,
famous narratives are widely known - yet there's a rich literary
tradition of Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond this
handful of stories. Here, the poet Seán Hewitt and painter Luke
Edward Hall collect together, for the first time, forty of the most
exhilarating queer tales in the classical canon and bring them
newly to life. A ground-breaking anthology that changes the way we
see the ancient world - and invites us to reflect on the puritanism
of our own - 300,000 Kisses is a riotous celebration of desire in
all its forms.

Is the purpose of political philosophy to articulate the moral
values that political regimes would realize in a virtually perfect
world and show what that implies for the way we should behave
toward one another? That model of political philosophy, driven by
an effort to draw a picture of an ideal political society, is
familiar from the approach of John Rawls and others. Or is
political philosophy more useful if it takes the world as it is,
acknowledging the existence of various morally non-ideal political
realities, and asks how people can live together nonetheless? The
latter approach is advocated by "realist" thinkers in contemporary
political philosophy. In Value, Conflict, and Order, Edward Hall
builds on the work of Isaiah Berlin, Stuart Hampshire, and Bernard
Williams in order to establish a political realist's theory of
politics for the twenty-first century. The realist approach, Hall
argues, helps us make sense of the nature of moral and political
conflict, the ethics of compromising with adversaries and
opponents, and the character of political legitimacy. In an era
when democratic political systems all over the world are riven by
conflict over values and interests, Hall's conception is bracing
and timely.

Over the past 15 years, geography has made many significant
contributions to our understanding of disabled people's identities,
lives, and place in society and space. 'Towards Enabling
Geographies' brings together leading scholars to showcase the
'second wave' of geographical studies concerned with disability and
embodied differences. This area has broadened and challenged
conventional boundaries of 'disability', expanding the kinds of
embodied differences considered, while continuing to grapple with
important challenges such as policy relevance and the use of more
inclusionary research approaches. This book demonstrates the value
of a spatial conceptualization of disability and disablement to a
broader social science audience, whilst examining how this
conceptualization can be further developed and refined.
A comprehensive introduction to contemporary political ethics What
is the relationship between politics and morality? May politicians
bend moral constraints in the name of political necessity? Is it
always wrong for leaders to lie? How much political compromise is
too much (or too little)? In Political Ethics, some of the world's
leading thinkers in politics, philosophy, and related fields offer
a comprehensive and accessible introduction to key issues in this
rapidly growing area of political theory. In a series of original
essays, the contributors examine a range of urgent political
problems: lies and deception, compromise and refusal to compromise,
the meaning and limits of political integrity, representation and
failures of representation, good and bad democratic leadership, the
virtues and excesses of partisanship, administrative ethics,
political corruption, whistleblowing, legitimate and illegitimate
claims of political emergency, and lobbying. What emerges are
realistic but demanding ethical standards-and a clear-eyed
understanding of the ethical challenges of political life in the
twenty-first century. With contributions by Richard Bellamy, Alin
Fumurescu, Edward Hall, Suzanne Dovi and Jesse McCain, Eric
Beerbohm, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum, Joseph Heath,
Elizabeth David-Barrett and Mark Philp, Michele Bocchiola and
Emanuela Ceva, Nomi Lazar, Phil Parvin, and Andrew Sabl.
Richard III brings the Wars of the Roses cycle of history plays to
a close in bloody fashion. Arguably Shakespeare's most villainous
king, we watch in horror and delight as Richard murders his way to
the throne, unable to resist his cruel wit and dark humour. This is
a hugely entertaining and diabolical adventure that tells the story
of one man's journey to heaven, then back to hell.
