narratives to examine multicultural issues and capture the richness
of diverse cultures. The text covers compelling topics such as
differences in world views, communication, racial and cultural
identity, development, racism, and immigration, as well as gender,
sexuality, age, and ability. It presents a broad foundation for
understanding the issues psychologists address when studying
culture and the practical applications of theory in today's

Box set featuring nine action movies. In 'Skinheads' (1989) a group
of Los Angeles neo-nazis are forced to move to North California
when one of them shoots a black man. When they arrive in the small
town they continue on their path of hatred, harrassment and
destruction until they come across two resilient college kids
determined to stop the skinheads' reign of violence. When a
Hollywood film crew travel to shoot on an isolated desert location
they are attacked by CIA-backed mercenaries. At first the film
people fight back using their special effects equipment, but as the
carnage mounts they sustain heavy losses, and soon the director's
daughter is the only one still alive. She then teams up with one of
the embittered mercenaries to better her chances of surviving.
'Hiroshima' (1990) paints a dramatic account of the race to develop
the atomic bomb, the ethics and politics behind it, and the events
which led to its use at the end of World War 2. In 'Emperor'
(1988), Tony (Alex D'Andrea) is a Bronx street hustler, an
old-fashioned, low-level operator who finds himself forced off his
turf by vicious crime boss Falco (Anthony Gioia). Teaming up with
an ex-con and sultry songstress, he learns a few things about the
way of the world and makes an attempt to get back on the right side
of the wrong side of the tracks - taking the fight back to Falco.
In 'South Bronx' (1985), two young children are being brutally
exploited as their foster home moonlights as the headquarters for
one of the city's largest pornography rings. Amazingly, the two
children escape to the streets, where they enlist the help of an
undercover cop (Mario Van Peebles) and his partner to capture the
porn king and his accomplices. In 'The Swap' (1969) Robert DeNiro
plays Sammy Nicoletti, an adult film director who is murdered. His
brother Vito (Anthony Charnota) vows to find the killer and avenge
Sammy's death. When Vito is released from prison he begins his own
investigation, encountering deceit and blackmail. The final days of
Sammy's life unfold from a party on Long Island back to the big
city. As Vito draws nearer to the truth, his own life hangs
precariously in the balance. In 'Death Collector' (1975) it's 'all
in the family' for a young, streetwise hood as he becomes a
collector for the mob. He quickly rises, run by rung, up the ladder
of the underworld in this violent crime saga. Blaxploitation legend
Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson stars in 'Black Cobra' (1987). When
fashion photographer Elys Trumbo (Eva Grimaldi) sees one of her
neighbours being murdered by a member of the Black Cobras, a
psychopathic motorcycle gang, she manages to catch the killer's
face on film. The Cobras' leader comes after her, but luckily tough
police sergeant Malone (Williamson) has been appointed to protect
her. In 'Born To Win' (1971), George Segal stars as as an
ex-hairdresser who struggles to support his expensive drug habit
and to avoid arrest, turns 'narc', informing on his fellow junkies.
Eventually Segal's sense of self-hatred threatens to overwhelm him.
In 'Revenge' (1988), the gun-crazy right-wing terrorist group
'Strike Force' have set their sights on the deadly NK-2, which is a
very large weapon indeed, and will do everything in their power to
get hold of it. Vietnam vet Jason Shepherd (Roger Rodd) is
approached with the job of tracking down these vicious killers and
preventing them from doing any more damage. He accepts the job, but
when the group gun down two of his most loyal friends, it suddenly
becomes personal.
This collection of 200+ portraits of pierced, tattooed, and heavily
body-modified people is a celebration by photographer Efrain John
Gonzalez. In this colorful volume Gonzalez, as an artist, captures
both the spirit of the many individuals and the rich uniqueness of
their fantastic tattoos, piercings, brandings, cuttings, subdermal
implants, and radical transformations. Many of the images of this
great tattoo art and extreme individuals were photographed during
the past decade during the New York City Tattoo Convention at the
Roseland Ballroom. Gonzalez has a reputation as one of America's
most prolific fetish documentarians, and he has traveled America to
make images of people stretching their limitsa|and their skin. Much
of his work was taken live at the moment it happened, and in places
that aren't accessible for most people. Gonzalez seeks out truth in
people and in this volume he shares it with the reader in a
collection quite unlike anything else.
John Gonzalez is a South Kingstown, Rhode Island resident of Ta'no
descent, whose ceremonial name, Kanipawit Maskwa (Standing Bear),
was given to him during the final days of the Standing Rock
occupation in North Dakota, where over 500 Tribal Nations and their
allies prayerfully came together and stood against a militarized
corporation. A water protector who spent three months on the front
lines, John worked with leadership to help evacuees and those who
remained during the worst blizzard in North Dakota history, as well
as prayerfully engaging in nonviolent direct action against DAPL.
In this dissertation we prove local existence and uniqueness of
solutions of the focusing modified Korteweg - de Vries equation u_t
+ u2u_x + u_{xxx} = 0 in classes of unbounded functions that admit
an asymptotic expansion at infinity in decreasing powers of $x$. We
show that an asymptotic solution differs from a genuine solution by
a smooth function that is of Schwartz class with respect to $x$ and
that solves a generalized version of the focusing mKdV equation.
The latter equation is solved by discretization methods. The text
is written for researchers of partial differential equations but
all proofs are given with full details and the text should be
accessible to graduate students of mathematics.
