Adam Sandler stars in this comedy as an absent father who re-enters
the life of his estranged son in an attempt to sting him for cash.
Donny, a foul-mouthed, hedonistic middle-aged playboy who is facing
a jail sentence for tax evasion, finds out that Todd (Andy
Samberg), the son he fathered as a teenager with his high school
teacher, is now a hedge fund manager and about to tie the knot with
his fiancée (Leighton Meester). Donny instantly sees an opportunity
to get hold of the cash he needs to bail him out of jail, and turns
up at Todd's door the day before his wedding, sending his son's
well-ordered life spinning into chaos.

This book provides a sound introduction to basic electronic
concepts in a lively and practical format. It effectively meets the
needs of both the electronics option of the advanced GNVQ in
engineering and the BTEC National certificate in electronics and
includes hands-on practical investigations and self-test questions
which will appeal to a wide range of readers. Applied Electronics
employs user-friendly text and a non-mathematical approach to
develop the reader's ability and understanding of the principles of
analogue and digital electronics. Beginning with the semiconductor
devices themselves, it progresses through amplifiers and power
supplies to combinational and sequential logic.

In 1916, with the Great War reducing northern Europe to a treeless,
shattered void, a boy was born to the prosperous director of a
pharmaceutical firm in Zurich. He was named Werner. It was not an
auspicious time to be born and, indeed, his mother died soon after.
As a child, young Werner sought order in his life by dissecting
snails and photographing, in the limpid light of his creation, the
elegant whorls revealed. He did not become the physical training
instructor his father wanted him to be. He did not become the
painter he had once wanted to be in Paris in 1939, on the brink of
another devastating conflict. He became Werner Bischof, the man,
and a photographer of incalculable artistry who found in both order
and the chaos he confronted and experienced a sublime beauty, a
humanity that was singularly his own. His photographs of a post-war
Europe in poverty and despair expressed infinite hope for the human
condtion, yet he was only 29. Less than 10 years later he was dead,
leaving behind among his last photographs that of a Peruvian child
playing his flute on the edge of a ravine. It is now an iconic
photograph with a fatal allure. Bischof himself died when his jeep
plunged over a ravine in the Andes on a quest for the faces, the
lives, of harmony there. Fifty years later his son Marco has
gathered together 70 previously unpublished photographs by Werner
Bischof. They powerfully reiterate the man his father was, the
nature of his humanity and his search for a benign and beautiful
cognisance of the brief and terrifying world he lived in.
Drawing on the history of modern finance, as well as the sociology
of money and risk, this book examines how cultural understandings
of finance have contributed to the increased capitalization of the
UK financial system following the Global Financial Crisis.
Providing both a geographically-inflected analysis and re-appraisal
of the concept of performativity, it demonstrates that financial
risk management has a spatiality that helps to inform
understandings and imaginaries of the risks associated with money
and finance. The book traces the development of understandings of
risk at the Bank of England, with an analysis that spans some 1,000
reports, documents and speeches alongside elite interviews with
past and present employees at the central bank. The author argues
that the Bank has moved from a relatively broad-brush approach to
the risks being managed in the financial sector, to a greater
preoccupation with the understanding and mapping of the
mobilization of financial risk. The study of financial practices
from a critical social sciences and humanities perspective has
grown rapidly since the Global Financial Crisis and this book will
be of interest to multiple subject areas including IPE, economic
geography, sociology of finance and critical security studies.

The book, written in a charming and self-effacing style, gives
fascinating insight into Japan and Japanese life on the eve of its
fateful entry into the Second World War.

Physical education is paramount to the holistic development of
every young person. More so when that young person has physical,
cognitive, and or emotional /behavioural difficulties to overcome
also. Teaching physical education to children with special needs
often requires the teacher or coach to use different methods and
approaches in order to generate even the smallest improvement in
learning, performance, and independence. The activities games and
adaptations featured in the book have been developed within the
teaching environment and enable students with special needs to have
opportunities to participate and compete whilst learning and
consolidating new and existing skills. Activities in the book can
be used to supplement existing programs and schemes of work or they
can be used as stand alone activities. They are intended and
designed to be inclusive also. The contents have been organised
into sections that cover: games and ball skills; gymnastics and
dance; developing spatial awareness and Athletic activities; and
schemes of work influenced by the national curriculum and the
equals' schemes have been supplied to use with the activities so
that the book provides a user with a guide for how to deliver an
adapted PE program to pupils with special needs. They may also be
useful to mainstream teachers who may need to supplement and adapt
mainstream PE programs to accommodate pupils with moderate learning
difficulties or physical disabilities.
