Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins (McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred - soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a force to be reckoned with.

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.

Jake Kasdan directs this US comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel as a married couple whose attempt to spice up their sex lives with a video backfires spectacularly. Jay (Segel) and Annie (Diaz) have been together for ten years and, in that time, the intensity of their attraction to one another has dulled to the point where sex has almost become another household chore. One night, the couple decide to try and reignite their spark by filming themselves making love, which they swiftly come to regret when Jay's computer automatically uploads the video to his cloud network. Jay and Annie embark on a desperate containment operation in a bid to prevent their friends, family and work colleagues viewing the tape, but the internet is a tough force to control and, if they aren't willing to take extreme measures, the video may go viral...

This book is written as a tribute to Frederick Nixson's extensive work on industrial development in the Global South, while seeking to actively engage with the latest arguments concerning development economics, together with changes in manufacturing and industrial policy that continue to shape the role of the Global South in the international economy, the impact of the increased concentration of global multinational corporations in that space, along with the rise of new financing tools and debt traps. The chapters pay homage to Fred's broad view of the international development process and reflect his breadth of perception both theoretically and geographically. The book targets both the scholarly and policymaking audience.

This book presents an insider's view of the federal government's dual mission to stop the flow of illegal drugs across our borders and to prevent streams of drug money from financing drug cartels, insurgents, and terrorists. Andrews focuses on current challenges facing federal drug enforcement agencies, how our strategies for enforcement have been redirected since 9/11, and why we require different strategies along our northern and southern borders and our ports of entry. This guide's aim is to provide an operational view of drug enforcement to policymakers, law enforcement officials, think tanks examining drug interdiction issues, and military officials who assist federal law enforcement efforts. The Border Challenge will also be of interest to students of international development and social change and the next generation of criminal justice and law enforcement officials.

In Rethinking the Industrial Revolution, Michael Andrew Zmolek offers the first in-depth study of the evolution of English manufacturing from the feudal and early modern periods within the context of the development of agrarian capitalism. The work chronicles how a long train of struggles led by artisans resisting efforts by employers to transform production along capitalist lines, prompted employers to appeal to the state to suppress this resistance by coercion.

Nicholas Stoller directs this suburb-set comedy starring Zac Efron, Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne. Mac (Rogan) and Kelly (Byrne) have just moved into their new suburban home where they plan on raising their newborn baby. Struggling to adjust their life around the new arrival, both wish they had more time to spend with friends and replenish their dwindling sex life. On top of all this, all hope of regaining any semblance of their former lives is completely lost when a college fraternity led by the cocksure Teddy Sanders (Efron) moves in next door. As the parties commence and Mac and Kelly grow increasingly frustrated by the noise and carefree attitudes of the fraternity members, they find ways of getting back at the boys next door. Can the two sides come to a mutually beneficial agreement, or will the fraternity continue to ruin the couple's chance at domestic bliss?

The trade in counterfeit goods is growing and is increasingly linked to transnational organised crime. But little is known about the financial mechanisms that lie behind this trade. This is the first account of the financial management of the counterfeiting business. Written by experts in a wide range of fields, it examines the financial and business structures in relation to the illicit trade in counterfeit products. Based on interviews with active criminal entrepreneurs in the UK and abroad and other data, the authors explore 'organised crime' and mutating criminal markets, digital technologies and their criminological and sociological implications, and cultural values and practices. This book will make a significant contribution to our understanding of these timely issues.
