New parents Pi and Cordelia have been enjoying a period of quiet since their last run-in with the reef's resident shark Troy.
Seeing an opportunity to kidnap Cordelia, Troy sends his loyal factotum Ronny into the community to distract Pi and the rest of his friends and neighbours while he concocts his plan of revenge.
But with Pi weary of strangers coming to the reef, it isn't long before he recognises Ronny's real intent and so sets about stopping Troy once and for all...
Sci-fi action thriller sequel directed by Wes Ball and starring
Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Thomas
(O'Brien) and his fellow Runners return for the biggest challenge
of their lives as they attempt to find their way through the
mysterious Scorch, a barren landscape covered with seemingly
endless obstacles and tests. As they work their way through the
maze, they simultaneously try to uncover the forces behind the
organisation known as WCKD.
This timely Handbook demonstrates that global linkages, flows and
circulations merit a more central place in theorization about
development. Calling for a mobilities turn, it challenges the
sedentarist assumptions which still underlie much policy making and
planning for the future. Expert contributors analyze
development from a mobilities perspective, exploring how
globalization connects distant people and places, so that what
happens in one place has direct bearing on another. Chapters
provide an overview of the global trends related to the flows of
people and capital over the past decade, and offer insights into
the consequences of developmental practices and policies that
unfold on the ground. Drawing on specific case studies from Africa,
Asia and Latin America, this Handbook considers how, in many
localities, livelihood opportunities are ever more shaped by
positionality, and the ways in which people are attached to and
participate in translocal and transnational networks.
Providing a bottom-up analysis of the implications of globalization
for translocal development, this Handbook will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students of development studies, human
geography, and sustainability and environmental science. Its use of
global case studies will also be useful for practitioners and
policy makers who desire a better understanding of the
developmental impact of policies and investments.

Animated adventure featuring the voice of Freddie Prinze Jr. When
Pi (Prinze Jr), an ordinary fish from Boston, arrives at the exotic
reef to live with his Aunt Pearl (Fran Descher), he is immediately
attracted to Cordelia (Evan Rachel Wood), the fish of his dreams.
There's just one problem - Troy (Donal Logue), the meanest shark in
the ocean, who not only patrols the reef keeping its community in
fear of becoming his next meal, but also has his eye on Cordelia
and wants her for himself. Pi must join up with his new group of
friends and try and outwit Troy and his henchmen, save the reef and
win Cordelia.

This informative research review discusses the most prominent
papers within the economics of structural change and growth. This
piece focuses on research that investigates the causes and
consequences of structural change with either theoretical or
calibrated models, mindfully referring to some of the most
celebrated literature over the last two decades. The research
review analyses literature covering the impact structural change
has on an array of economic factors including convergence, per
capita income and spatial development. Prefaced by an original
introduction from the editors, this collection would be well suited
to scholars and macro-development economists wishing to extend
their knowledge of this compelling topic.
This ground-breaking handbook leads the way in accelerating the
transition to a sustainable circular economy by introducing the
concept of a catalyst as a positive and enhancing driving force for
sustainability. Catalysts create and maintain favourable conditions
for complex systemic sustainability transition changes, and a
discussion and understanding of catalysts is required to move from
a linear economy to a sustainable and circular economy. With
contributions from leading experts from around the globe, this
volume presents theoretical insights, contextualized case studies,
and participatory methodologies, which identify different
catalysts, including technology, innovation, business models,
management and organisation, regulation, sustainability policy,
product design, and culture. The authors then show how these
catalysts accelerate sustainability transitions. As a unique value
to the reader, the book brings together public policy and private
business perspectives to address the circular economy as a systemic
change. Its theoretical and practical perspectives are coupled with
real-world case studies from Finland, Italy, China, India, Nigeria,
and others, to provide tangible insights on catalysing the circular
economy across organizational, hierarchical, and disciplinary
boundaries. With its broad interdisciplinary and geographically
diverse scope, this handbook will be a valuable tool for
researchers, academics, and policymakers in the fields of circular
economy, sustainability transitions, environmental studies,
business, and the social sciences more broadly.
3D Integration is being touted as the next semiconductor
revolution. This book provides a comprehensive coverage on the
design and modeling aspects of 3D integration, in particularly,
focus on its electrical behavior. Looking from the perspective the
Silicon Via (TSV) and Glass Via (TGV) technology, the book
introduces 3DICs and Interposers as a technology, and presents its
application in numerical modeling, signal integrity, power
integrity and thermal integrity. The authors underscored the
potential of this technology in design exchange formats and power
distribution.
What is lived-in style? It's laid-back, comfortable, no-fuss and
uniquely you. It could bring to mind the comfy chair you curl up in
beside the window. Maybe it will get you thinking about your
freshly made bed, topped with a vintage blanket or quilt. Or
perhaps it will elicit a smile over the collection of mementos and
found treasures displayed on your mantel. Author Ki Nassauer sets
out to visit 12 beautiful and eclectic lived-in homes full of
vintage and repurposed treasures and hear how their owners put them
together. Tips and hints give an insight into how to shop vintage,
source art and antiques, introduce a sense of personality and have
fun with decorating. As the owners of these homes
demonstrate, Lived-In Style is about slowly amassing pieces over
time—and truly loving each piece you gather. The result is a
joyful and personal home—a cozy yet chic spot where everyone will
want to put their feet up and stay awhile.
This book contributes to growing debates on transcreation, applying
an Appraisal Theory approach to texts from luxury brands in Chinese
and English to reveal new insights into marketing transcreation and
set out transcreation as an area of study in its own right. // The
volume charts the origins of the term ‘transcreation,’ emerging
from the interplay of established concepts of translation,
creation, localisation, and glocalisation, and ongoing debates on
what should be transcreated and how. Using these dialogues as a
point of departure, Ho outlines a way forward for transcreation
research by advocating for the use of an Appraisal Theory
framework, taken from work in Systemic Functional Linguistics and
employed to evaluate attitude in language. In focusing on marketing
texts from the websites of three luxury brands in English and
Chinese, the book explores how this approach can surface fresh
perspectives into the different ways in which the processes and
practices of marketing transcreation are used to generate
persuasion across languages. The volume looks ahead to the
implications for other language pairs and applications to other
forms of transcreation, such as literary or audiovisual
transcreation. // This book will be of interest to students and
scholars in translation studies and marketing studies.
In this unique analysis of three prominent theorists of modern
sociology, theory is understood as implicitly, but importantly,
reflecting especially modern problems of individual and social
life. From the grand-theoretical systems of Talcott Parsons to the
unique symbolic interactionism of Erving Goffman and the radically
mundane ethnomethodology of Harold Garfinkel, a wide variety of
noted sociological theories have addressed central issues of
sociology against the backdrop of modern society. When this modern
backdrop is brought into the foreground of analysis, sociological
theories assume new depth and breadth and new historical
significance. The author outlines features of the modern
experience, drawing upon neglected cultural theorists of modernity,
and then shows how these features of modernity are reflected and
incorporated in the scholarship of Parsons, Goffman, and Garfinkel.
The result is an original and eclectic analysis that illuminates
previously overlooked dimensions to modern sociological theory, and
suggests new possibilities for meaningful and rewarding comparisons
between theoretical traditions.
This book focuses on the Indo-Pacific region’s growing prominence
as the world’s major powers gravitate toward this space to expand
their influence. With dynamic shifts taking place in the globe’s
most strategically volatile region, Indo-Pacific Strategies aims at
clarifying the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific, expounded both as a
strategic concept and nascent region, thus contributing to the
burgeoning policy and academic debate. The book offers
indispensable insights and appropriate remedies to maintain the
rules-based international order as threatened by China’s
increasingly assertive and bellicose posturing. It offers
up-to-date analyses of Covid-19-related geopolitical trends, the
strategies of various Indo-Pacific states against the backdrop of
great power competition, the increasingly confrontational stance of
Indo-Pacific states against China and the 2020 US election results.
This unique book presents deep insights into the roles of Eurasia,
small island states, the Middle East and Africa, in addition to
Australia, India, Japan and the US, thereby providing much needed
comparative studies. It also closely investigates the strategic and
tactical operationalization of the Indo-Pacific, making it an
essential read for scholars, policymakers, students, and
strategists in the field of international politics and Area
Studies. Excerpt from the foreword by ABE Shinzō, (former) Prime
Minister of Japan "I think this book is the timeliest attempt to
bring together the wisdom of eleven people to present a
multifaceted view of the FOIP [Free and Open Indo-Pacific]. As a
reader, I would like to express my gratitude to the editors and
contributors for their valuable intellectual contributions." See

Gossip. Rumour. Revenge. Wun Wah Tower. Kwun Tong district, Hong
Kong. When Siu-Man jumped from her window on the twenty-second
floor, everyone assumed it was suicide. But Sui-Man's sister,
Nga-Yee, a quiet and unassuming librarian, is determined to prove
it was murder. The police aren't interested in re-opening a solved
case so she contacts a man known only as N. - a hacker, and an
expert in cybersecurity and manipulating human behaviour. What
follows is a cat-and-mouse game through the vibrant city of Hong
Kong. The pair's investigation takes them from creepy
commuter-train gropers to Siu-Man's gossipy friends to the dark
corners of the city's digital underground - where online bullies,
sexual predators and shady tech businesses stalk their prey...
