Paul Feig directs this comedy sequel starring Melissa McCarthy,
Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. 30 years after their
male predecessors saved the world from the ghosts and ghouls that
haunted it, the new Ghostbusters Abby (McCarthy), Erin (Wiig),
Jillian (McKinnon) and Patty (Jones) get news of spirits lurking
beneath the streets of New York City. With the help of their
secretary Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), the ladies don the famous boiler
suits and set out on a mission to destroy the ghosts and save the
world.
The role of capital punishment in America has been criticised by
those for and against the death penalty, by the judiciary,
academics, the media and by prison personnel. This book
demonstrates that it is the inconsistent and often incoherent
jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court which accounts for
a system so lacking in public confidence. Using case studies,
Kenneth Williams examines issues such as jury selection,
ineffective assistance of counsel, the role of race and claims of
innocence which affect the Court's decisions and how these
decisions are played out in the lower courts, often an inmate's
last recourse before execution. Discussing international treaties
and their lack of impact on capital punishment in America, this
book has international appeal and makes an important contribution
to legal scholarship. It also provides a unique understanding of
the dynamics of an alarmingly problematic system and will be
valuable to those interested in human rights and criminal justice.

Since their discovery 25 years ago, fungal viruses have created a
new field of study in mycology and virology. The purpose of this
book is not only to serve as a useful reference work but also to
provide reviews of the important advances which have taken place
since the last books on fungal viruses appeared. An introductory
chapter gives a critical overview of fungal virology in the context
of virology as a whole and of recent developments in molecular
biology. Specialist chapters follow, all written by experts who are
currently active in fungal virus research and cover ongoing
research areas.
‘I’ll put you in my diary!’ comedian Kenneth Williams was
known to threaten on occasion, although tantalisingly he kept the
journal to himself during his lifetime. Here at last, in one
spellbinding volume, are four million words of it. For more than
forty years, from his sixteenth birthday until the eve of his
unexpected death in 1988, the beloved actor and outrageous ‘Carry
On’ star Kenneth Williams kept a candid diary. Devastatingly
honest about himself, he is equally unsparing in his verdicts on
his fellow man. In his descriptions of Tony Hancock, Maggie Smith,
Joe Orton and countless others, his waspish sense of humour, love
of anecdote and ear for dialogue are given full rein. Malicious,
hilarious and harrowing, ‘The Kenneth Williams Diaries’ are a
unique portrait of one of Britain’s most popular – and most
misunderstood – performers.

birthday... This fantabulosa selection of Julian and Sandy sketches
is brimming with sparkling repartee, gloriously camp humour and
outrageous innuendo. So don't be strange - come on in, rest your

Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden and Hugh Paddick
star in 16 episodes of the anarchic 1960s radio comedy. Round the
Horne arrived on BBC radio in 1965, bringing laughter to Sunday
lunchtimes throughout the land. Over the course of sixteen weekly
episodes it carved a niche in the history of broadcast comedy, a
sketch show which prodded the boundaries of propriety and innuendo.
At its heart was the suave and upstanding Kenneth Horne, around
which revolved the multiple naughty personas of Kenneth Williams,
Betty Marsden, Hugh Paddick and Bill Pertwee. Among the parade of
regular characters were Julian and Sandy, the camp couple of
resting thespians happy to turn their hands to anything, Rambling
Syd Rumbo the musical cordwangler, Fiona and Charles the passionate
duo, and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock the world's dirtiest man.
Meanwhile regular film parodies, spoof sagas and musical interludes
peppered the mix. Round the Horne earned its place in the annals of
comedy history, and is fondly remembered today as a groundbreaking
series that influenced many more to come. Here the entire first
series can be enjoyed once again, along with a PDF booklet
featuring cast biographies and a full series history. 8 CDs. 8 hrs

Game theory studies the strategic interaction of people within
various institutions such as political, economic, or other social
institutions that are governed by a set or rules or principals.
Game theory provides solutions to these strategic interactions by
developing models based on assumptions about human behavior and the
institution where the interaction occurs. Game theory is an
interdisciplinary method to examine decision making in the fields
of economics, political science, psychology, sociology,
mathematics, computer programming, and biology. This book is an
introduction to game theory but differs from other excellent
introduction game theory texts by taking a behavioral approach.
This means that basic game theory concepts are explained by using
results from laboratory experiments that examine how real people
behave when they participate in the games that are modeled. This
approach is referred to as behavioral game theory and it seeks to
use psychological reasoning to explain deviations in the
predictions of standard game theory models. Behavior game theory
allows for the study of how human emotions affect decision making
using the assumptions of game theory. Although the study of game
theory is somewhat technical because it uses mathematics to
construct the various models, the intuition behind game theory is
actually normative and nontechnical. This book takes a very
nontechnical approach to the study of game theory so that only
minimum math skills are needed to follow the discussion in the
book. The importance of game theory lies in the deductive process
of reasoning and understanding how to construct models of social
interaction, and not the mathematics that are involved.
