Drawing on the concept of the 'politics of compassion', this Handbook interrogates the political, geopolitical, social and anthropological processes which produce and govern borders and give rise to contemporary border violence. Chapters map different aspects of structural violence and mobilities in some of the world's most contentious border zones, highlighting the forms and practices that connect with labour exploitation, legal exclusion and a severe absence of human rights. International interdisciplinary contributors, including renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen, draw attention to the forms and spaces of resistance available to migrants and activists, contemplating how advocates attempt to provide protection and human security to those subjected to border violence. Offering empirical analyses of critical border spaces, the book covers extensively the US-Mexico border region and border zones around the Mediterranean. Border issues in South, Central and North America, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, the Middle East, Central Africa and East and Central Asia are also discussed. The Handbook thus provides a truly transnational approach to borders and migration, demonstrating the dynamic but asymmetric relationship between the social structure of border enforcement and the human agency of migrants and global activists. Combining theoretical insights into structural violence and human rights with key case studies of border zones, this comprehensive Handbook is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of social and political science investigating human migration, the humanitarian, border control and human rights. Its practical insights will also benefit policy-makers involved in borders and migration, as well as advocates and NGOs working with migrants and refugees to create secure environments.

When a group of high school students discover a mutilated dead body in an open field in the small town of Ashland, New Hampshire, the authorities believe the body is Betty Evans. Betty has been missing for two days, and the circumstances all fit. Chief of Police Joseph Tobin is reluctant to tell Betty's father the news, but Hank Evans is needed to identify the body of his daughter. When he confirms it's her, the investigation begins in earnest.

At first, Joseph thinks this is going to be an open-and-shut case-quite a relief in their small town where neighbor knows neighbor. One local man is an obvious suspect, and the eye of the law settles on young Billy Hart, who was dating Betty before her untimely demise. Billy and his brother, Dave, unfortunately come from a family with a reputation.

Billy and Dave's father is in prison for drug possession, and their mother is a well-known drunk. Even so, is Billy capable of murder? A high-priced law firm takes on the case, and lawyers Kathy Rahbany and Matthew Russell turn to their private eye, Peter Ray, in order to get some answers. It's going to take a team to solve this case, and Joseph and Peter soon band together to stop a dangerous killer from killing again.

Mike Dunning was disillusioned about his job. The company had changed far too much for his liking. Hearing rumors that a major merger was in the works, Mike wondered why he had been kept in the dark. Concerned about his standing in the company, he sought ways to uncover the truth and its potential impact to him.

Dunning's best friend, Bob Tracy, makes a few prank calls in an attempt to discover if a merger between Triumph and Stratus is actually taking place. Bob's sudden disappearance sends Mike on a quest to discover his friend's fate. Working with the police, Mike soon discovers there is much more going on here than just a merger. His inquisitiveness makes him and his family prime targets for those choreographing the proceedings. Mike's curiosity takes him and his family on a life-threatening journey into a world of corruption and insanity.

Channels of nanotubular dimensions exist in a variety of materials (examples are carbon nanotubes and the nanotubular channels of zeolites and zeotypes) and show promise for numerous applications due to their unique properties. One of their most important properties is their capacity to adsorb molecules and these may exist in a variety of phases.

"Adsorption and Phase Behaviour in Nanochannels and Nanotubes" provides an excellent review of recent and current work on adsorption on nanometerials. It is an impressive collection of papers dealing with the adsorption and phase behaviour in nanoporous materials from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.

"Adsorption and Phase Behaviour in Nanochannels and Nanotubes" focuses on carbon nanotubes as well as zeolites and related materials.

Written for the general reader who has little financial background, this book analyzes the extended bull market of the 1980s and the subsequent stock market crash on October 19, 1987. To tell their story, the authors use a sample portfolio of stocks, bonds, options, savings, and warrants, tracing actual investments bought and sold from the early 1980s through the October 1987 crash. By following their hypothetical portfolio through the ups and downs of the 1980s market, the reader gains a practical understanding of the workings of the stock market and the pressures that led to its calamitous plunge in October 1987. Anyone seeking a practical and nontechnical yet thorough explanation of the events of October 19th will find "The Crash Put Simply" fascinating reading.

As their story unfolds, the authors explain each type of investment in detail, paying special attention to their advantages and risks. They trace the impact of specific events on the market, using the sample portfolio to illustrate typical investor expectations and reactions during the long bull market. This unique approach enables the reader to understand how events moved the market and how, in the week prior to October 19th, a panic of action and reaction finally brought the market crashing down.

This re-issue, first published in 1964, is the first of a seminal series analysing the development of the study of landforms, from both the geographical and geological point of view, with especial emphasis upon fluvial geomorphology. Volume 1 treats the subject up to the first important statement of the cycle of erosion by W. M. Davis in 1889, and attempts to identify the most significant currents of geomorphic thought, integrating them into the broader contemporary intellectual frameworks with which they were associated. As well as dealing with such key figures as Werner, De Saussure, Hutton, Playfair, Buckland, lyell, Agassiz, Ramsay, Dana, Peschel, Powell, Gilbert and Davis, attention is also given to many less important contributions by American, British and continental workers. A spirited biographical treatment, attractively set off by contemporary portraits, diagrams and sketches, will make this book of great interest to the historian of science, and indeed to the general reader, as well as to the student and scholar in geomorphology, hydrology and any other earth science.

From Power Politics to Conflict Resolution surveys the development of the ideas of John W. Burton, an Australian civil servant and diplomat who became a prolific author in the fields of International Relations and Conflict Theory. This work, beginning with an introduction to his life and associations, assesses the development of Burton's ideas, at once critical of much of the conventional wisdom of International Relations as well as seeking to be innovative, helping us to understand the issues of peace and conflict in a changing world.

This unique account of Russia's encounter with Catholicism from the medieval period to the present provides fascinating insights into Catholic-Russian relations. Dennis Dunn analyzes religious politics in the former USSR and in Russia, particularly in areas where relations between the state-backed Orthodox establishment and the Catholic Church have renewed debates about civil rights, religious freedom and Russian national identity under Vladimir Putin's regime. Discussing issues such as the role of Pope John Paul II in helping to bring down the Iron Curtain, Dunn argues provocatively that Catholic-Russian relations are a microcosm of Western-Russian relations and sheds new light on the historical strain between Russia and the West. Showing how Russia's adoption of a secular ideology - a vain attempt to surpass the West - alienated the Russian government not only from the Catholic Church but also from its own Orthodox foundation, this book discusses how Russia sealed its fate while precipitating the Cold War with the West. Students and general readers interested in Russian history, Western-Russian relations, Catholicism, and comparative religion more broadly, will find this an invaluable and accessible account of an important and understudied subject.

David Copperfield ranks as one of Dickens's most popular works. Seen as partly autobiographical, it is very widely studied on secondary and undergraduate literature courses. This Sourcebook considers:
*the contexts of the novel, bringing together relevant material from Dickens's 'Autobiographical Fragment', his 'Appeal to Fallen Women', A Christmas Carol and The Haunted Man.
* interpretations of the novel, ranging from early reviews and commentary through to twentieth and twenty-first century responses and encompassing a wide range of critical perspectives
performances of the novel, from Dickens's own public reading through to film and BBC adaptations
*key passages of the novel, clearly introduced with discussion of critical issues raised by each passage
*further reading for those interested in particular aspects of the study of the novel
Most importantly, Richard Dunn illuminates the crucial connections between contexts, interpretations and the text for students wishing to make their own readings of Dickens's novel. Drawing on thirty years teaching experience, Dunn provides an accessible and engaging guide to this most enjoyable of nineteenth-century novels.

Demonstratives play a crucial role in the acquisition and use of language. Bringing together a team of leading scholars this detailed study, a first of its kind, explores meaning and use across fifteen typologically and geographically unrelated languages to find out what cross-linguistic comparisons and generalizations can be made, and how this might challenge current theory in linguistics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Using a shared experimental task, rounded out with studies of natural language use, specialists in each of the languages undertook extensive fieldwork for this comparative study of semantics and usage. An introduction summarizes the shared patterns and divergences in meaning and use that emerge.

To the surprise of many students of the Soviet Union, religion has shown itself to be a force still powerful in Soviet society. In contrast, the impact of religion in developed Western societies has declined. Dr. Dunn points out that the study of this antinomy can shed light on the entire concept of "modernization" in the U.S.S.R. The study of the
