Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafaņe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafaņe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The volume will provide a coherent critical examination of current
issues related to the religious roots of contemporary, i.e.
post-1990 European identity, by analyzing the components of
contemporary European identity, the presence of religion in the
development of national identities, manifestation of religious
roots in secular society, and the role of religion in further
European integration and social inclusion. The publication will
involve a multi and interdisciplinary approach to the theme, by
bringing together scholars in history, religious studies,
sociology, cultural studies, European studies, and international
relations. The rigorously edited volume will provide a coherent
analysis of the religious roots of Europe's identity today, with
particular attention to the secular context of religious
communities. Europe is often perceived as secular by most of its
citizens, regardless of their creed. Bearing this in mind, the
authors will build upon their expertise in different fields of arts
and humanities to identify some of the key elements of European
religious heritage and its manifestation in Europe's identity, be
it secular or otherwise perceived. The authors will also indicate
the role that these elements play in further European integration.
With the focused approach, the publication will identify a number
of similarities across faiths and, more holistically, vis-a-vis
Europe. This will serve the readers to perceive their own identity
in a wider context of shared values, reaching beyond a particular
faith or non-religious framework.

One of the central areas of concern in late twentieth-century
philosophy is the debate between Realism and anti-Realism. But the
precise nature of the issues that form the focus of the debate
remains controversial. In Realism and Explanatory Priority a new
way of viewing the debate is developed. The primary focus is not on
the notions of existence, truth or reference, but rather on
independence. A notion of independence is developed using concepts
derived from the theory of explanation. It is argued that this
approach enables us to clarify the exact nature of the empirical
evidence that would be required to establish Realism in any area.
The author defends a restricted form of Realism, which he calls
Nomic Structuralism. The book will be suitable for professional
philosophers of language, science and metaphysics, and their
graduate students.
The Middle East peace process has gone through various stages of development, but has been impaired at each step by an inability to overcome economic problems in the region. This book both chronicles this process and offers critical insights into the factors that impede progress toward regional peace. The volume, with a foreword by Queen Noor of Jordan, includes contributions from thirteen specialists who hold senior positions at universities, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
Begging by nestling birds has become the model system for
investigating evolutionary conflicts of interest within families
and their theoretical resolution provided by honest signals of
offspring need. In response to the recent explosions of scientific
papers on the revolution of begging; we have brought together
twenty-four original contributions from major researchers in all
areas of this dynamic field.
Organised into six sections: I: Theoretical approaches; II:
Begging as a signal; III: Nestling physiology; IV: Sibling
competition; V: Brood parasitism; and VI: Statistical approaches;
this book is primarily aimed at research scientists and those at
the graduate student level. For the first time, the theoretical and
empirical literature on begging is fully reviewed. New ideas and
data are also presented from a wide range of natural systems, and
each chapter ends with suggestions for future study.
In societies suffering from acute political and social cleavage, policing agencies are invariably at the heart of the conflict resolution processes. In Northern Ireland, there have been calls for the RUC to be disbanded as well as for it to be retained unchanged. After considering various options and models especially from Spain, South Africa, and the Netherlands, this book charts a path for reform that takes account of Northern Ireland's political realities and will help build trust and inclusions.
This is a concise study guide for the fledgling student of Judaism,
covering critical issues and methodology. This volume in the
"Studying World Religions" series is an essential guide to the
study of Jewish faith. Clearly structured to cover all the major
areas of study, including historical foundations, scripture,
worship, society, thought and ethics, this is the ideal study aid
for those approaching Judaism for the first time. "Studying
Judaism" offers readers the chance to engage with a religious
tradition as a diverse, living phenomenon. Its approach is
'critical' in two major respects: its use of the dimensional
approach to the study of religions as an interpretive framework,
and its focus on matters perceived as problematic by insider and/or
outsider commentators, such as gender, demography, geo-politics,
the 'museumisation' of Jewish cultures and its impact on religion
and identity. A series of introductory guides, books in the
"Studying World Religions" series are designed as study aids for
those approaching the world's religions for the first time. Rather
than attempting to cover all the material, the critical and
methodological issues that students need to grasp in the study of
each religious tradition - and religion in general - are drawn out,
and the major contemporary debates explored. Readers are offered
the chance to engage with religious traditions as diverse, living
phenomena. With helpful suggestions for further study, pointing
students towards material such as primary sources (scriptures),
films and novels, and including ideas for teaching, discussion
topics and exercises, these guides are the perfect companions for
the fledgling student of religion.
In this volume, thirteen essays examine the full breadth and
variety of Coleridge's afterlives. Topics include philosophy,
gender, imagination, American literature, South Asian literature,
aesthetics, narrative, and poetry. It offers new research to the
scholar, maps complex territory, and spans traditional period
barriers in literary studies.
This book explores the 'mental maps' of twelve leaders during the
era of two world wars. It has chapters on the giants of these
years, men like Lloyd George, Lenin, Streseman, Mussolini, Hitler,
Roosevelt and Churchill, whose ideas cast a compelling shadow. It
also has essays on important figures who are not always at the
forefront of the literature on this period, men such as Atatuerk,
Benes, Chiang, Poincar and Mao.
The early Cold War was a period of dramatic change. New superpowers
emerged, the European powers were eclipsed, colonial empires
tottered. Political leaders everywhere had to make immense
adjustments. This volume explores their hopes and fears, their
sense of their place in the world and of the constraints under
which they laboured.
