Michael Winterbottom directs this graphically violent thriller
based on the novel by Jim Thompson. Casey Affleck stars as Deputy
Sheriff Lou Ford, a pillar of the community in the small Texas town
of Central City. However, Ford is not quite the upstanding citizen
he appears to be, as becomes apparent after he is ordered to evict
local prostitute Joyce Lakeland (Jessica Alba) and ends up
embroiled in a torrid affair with her. When his fiance Amy (Kate
Hudson) becomes suspicious, the consequences are bloody and brutal
as the dark secrets of Ford's past are finally brought to light.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad

Contemporary Product Development: A Focus on Innovation engages
learners with a proven framework to design, develop, and go to
market with innovative products that solve consumer problems while
also supporting the mission, values, and brand of the company which
created them. The book's framework, the Go-To-Market Aura Plan
(GT-MAP), emphasizes two key practices for innovative product
development-speed and creating aura. This dual approach includes an
overview of critical concepts in neuroscience, sustainability, and
product design methods, as well as a demystification of the
step-by-step, iterative processes critical to introducing a
high-performing product to market as quickly and effectively as
possible. Simultaneously, the approach builds interest among
consumers with proven techniques that gain attention, foster
excitement, and then convert consumer excitement into demand well
before a product is launched. The text describes how to inspire
designers and developers to create innovative, high-performance
products that consumers crave through exceptional communication,
team building, presentation and validation, and prediction of a
product's performance, pre- and post-launch, to ensure its success.
Designed to inspire innovation, Contemporary Product Development is
an ideal resource for courses in business, especially those with
focus on product development.
Rare Earth and Transition Metal Doping of Semiconductor Material
explores traditional semiconductor devices that are based on
control of the electron's electric charge. This book looks at the
semiconductor materials used for spintronics applications, in
particular focusing on wide band-gap semiconductors doped with
transition metals and rare earths. These materials are of
particular commercial interest because their spin can be controlled
at room temperature, a clear opposition to the most previous
research on Gallium Arsenide, which allowed for control of spins at
supercold temperatures. Part One of the book explains the theory of
magnetism in semiconductors, while Part Two covers the growth of
semiconductors for spintronics. Finally, Part Three looks at the
characterization and properties of semiconductors for spintronics,
with Part Four exploring the devices and the future direction of
spintronics.

British artist Gillian Wearing, winner of the 1997 Turner Prize,
uses photography and video to explore the intimacies and
complexities of everyday life. Borrowing from popular culture, her
work is disturbing and confessional. In 1992 she began the
acclaimed series Signs that say what you want them to say and not
Signs that say what someone else wants them to say', in which
random passers-by are photographed holding messages they've
written, such as the mild-mannered young businessman whose sign
unexpectedly reads 'I'm Desperate'. Wearing's work borrows from
familiar forms of popular culture to produce direct, revealing
records of deep-seated human trauma and emotion, often adopting the
methods of television documentaries for her 'fly-on-the-wall' view
of people's lives. Her videos can be alarming, as in Confess All
... in which masked individuals confess their darkest secrets, or
humorous, as in (Slight) Reprise - a sampler of adults playing 'air
guitar' in the fantasy rock stadium of their bedrooms. Her art can
be disconcerting or uplifting: an honest portrait of the many sides
to contemporary life. With exhibitions in Britain, the US, Europe
and Japan, Wearing is among the best-known and most internationally
recognized of the recent generation of British artists. This is the
first publication ever to survey this remarkable young artist's
gripping work in its entirety. Russell Ferguson of UCLA's Hammer
Museum contextualizes Wearing's work in relation to historical
precedents in painting, photography and video art. Curator at the
Whitney Museum of American Art Donna De Salvo discusses with the
artist her collaborative approach towards her work and its
subjects. London-based critic John Slyce focuses on Wearing's work
10-16, a remarkable video installation that charts our transition
from childhood to adolescence. The artist has selected transcripts
from director Michael Apted's acclaimed British television
documentary series Seven Up, an important influence on the process
Wearing uses in her own work. Published here for the first time in
full are the transcripts of the artist's video works.
