Zebrafish (Danio rerio) play an integral role in biomedical
research, enabling researchers to examine physiological mechanisms
and pathways relevant to human pathogenesis and its therapy. That,
along with their low cost, easy manipulation, short reproductive
cycles, and physiological homology to humans, has made zebrafish a
vital model organism for neuroscience research. Zebrafish Protocols
for Neurobehavioral Research addresses protocols for both larval
and adult models, written by the leading experts in the field of
zebrafish research. Part I of this book takes advantage of the
high-throughput nature of larval models to offer protocols for
research requiring high output, easily manipulated screens. The
second half of the book focuses on the robust and sophisticated
behaviors of adult zebrafish, suitable for the neurophenotyping of
complex traits and multi-domain disorders. Importantly, these
models complement each other, working together to provide
researchers with valuable insights into neurobiology of normal and
pathological behavior. Thorough and cutting-edge, this volume is a
useful, authoritative reference guide that should hold a coveted
spot in zebrafish laboratories across the globe.

This book reflects multidisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional
analysis of issues surrounding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
(FASD) and the criminal justice system, and the impact on
Aboriginal children, young people, and their families. This book
provides the first comprehensive and multidisciplinary account of
FASD and its implications for the criminal justice system - from
prevalence and diagnosis to sentencing and culturally secure
training for custodial officers. Situated within a 'decolonising'
approach, the authors explore the potential for increased diversion
into Aboriginal community-managed, on-country programmes, enabled
through innovation at the point of first contact with the police,
and non-adversarial, needs-focussed courts. Bringing together
advanced thinking in criminology, Aboriginal justice issues, law,
paediatrics, social work, and Indigenous mental health and
well-being, the book is grounded in research undertaken in
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The authors argue for the
radical recalibration of both theory and practice around diversion,
intervention, and the role of courts to significantly lower rates
of incarceration; that Aboriginal communities and families are best
placed to construct the social and cultural scaffolding around
vulnerable youth that could prevent damaging contact with the
mainstream justice system; and that early diagnosis and assessment
of FASD may make a crucial difference to the life chances of
Aboriginal youth and their families. Exploring how, far from
providing solutions to FASD, the mainstream criminal justice system
increases the likelihood of adverse outcomes for children with FASD
and their families, this innovative book will be of great value to
researchers and students worldwide interested in criminal and
social justice, criminology, youth justice, social work, and
education.
In France, 1940, an unlikely pair team up to evade the approaching
Nazis. Little Jacobowsky, a Polish Jewish intellectual, has been
one step ahead of the Nazis for years. Stjerbinsky is an
aristocratic, anti-Semitic Polish colonel who's trying to get to
England. Jacobowsky has a car but can't drive; the colonel can. And
so begins their adventurous journey - set against a backdrop of
lively and lovely songs and dances - that takes them to a carnival,
a Jewish wedding, and, when the car breaks down, onto a train.
Accompanying them is Marianne, the colonel's girlfriend with whom
Jacobowsky falls in love. But it is not to be.

See through the eyes of the Brontes as you immerse yourself in
their lives and landscapes, wandering the very same paths they each
would have walked in search of the inspiration behind their novels
and poetry. An 'imaginative and elegant trek through the landscape
of the Brontes' Grazia In his journey to get closer to the Brontes,
award-winning author Michael Stewart began walking the historic
paths they trod while writing their most famous works. From
Liverpool to Scarborough, across wild, windy, and often unforgiving
scenery, he discovered echoes of the siblings' novels. And with the
help of an unlikely cast of Yorkshire's inhabitants, Michael found
himself falling further into their lives and writings than he could
ever have imagined. Vivid and evocative, and including a series of
beautiful maps of walks Michael devised when creating the iconic
Bronte Stones project, Walking the Invisible invites you to
experience the lives and landscapes that inspired the Brontes as
they've never been experienced before. Along the way, you'll find
yourself getting closer to classics such as Wuthering Heights, Jane
Eyre, and Agnes Grey, discovering the real locations behind their
fictional settings, and uncovering the myths that surround this
much acclaimed and wholly unique family.

have had their houses burned and have been killed in racist attacks
in the first six postcommunist years than in all the time since

HIS IS A STUDY OF HOW some of the most marginal and exploited
people that exist can imagine themselves to be princes of the
world.During the past two hundred years the Gypsies of Eastern
Europe have faced near enslavement by land owners, the physical and
moral onslaught of the Nazi holocaust, the fundamental challenge to
their central values from the Communist state, and the violent
discrimination and dislocation caused by the return to capitalism.
One would have thought that the challenge would be too great, that
they would have suffered cultural

In this exciting interdisciplinary collection, scholars, activists,
and media producers explore the emergence of Indigenous media:
forms of media expression conceptualized, produced, and created by
Indigenous peoples around the globe. Whether discussing Maori
cinema in New Zealand or activist community radio in Colombia, the
contributors describe how native peoples use both traditional and
new media to combat discrimination, advocate for resources and
rights, and preserve their cultures, languages, and aesthetic
traditions. By representing themselves in a variety of media,
Indigenous peoples are also challenging misleading mainstream and
official state narratives, forging international solidarity
movements, and bringing human rights violations to international
attention. Global Indigenous Media addresses Indigenous
self-representation across many media forms, including feature
film, documentary, animation, video art, television and radio, the
Internet, digital archiving, and journalism. The volume's sixteen
essays reflect the dynamism of Indigenous media-making around the
world. One contributor examines animated films for children
produced by Indigenous-owned companies in the United States and
Canada. Another explains how Indigenous media producers in Burma
(Myanmar) work with NGOs and outsiders against the country's brutal
regime. Still another considers how the Ticuna Indians of Brazil
are positioning themselves in relation to the international
community as they collaborate in creating a CD-ROM about Ticuna
knowledge and rituals. In the volume's closing essay, Faye Ginsburg
points out some of the problematic assumptions about globalization,
media, and culture underlying the term "digital age" and claims
that the age has arrived. Together the essays reveal the crucial
role of Indigenous media in contemporary media at every level:
local, regional, national, and international. Contributors: Lisa

Intercultural Screen Adaptation offers a wide-ranging examination
of how film and television adaptations (and non-adaptations)
interact with the cultural, social and political environments of
their national, transnational and post-national contexts. With
screen adaptations examined from across Britain, Europe, South
America and Asia, this book tests how examining the processes of
adaptation across and within national frameworks challenges
traditional debates around the concept of nation in film, media and
cultural studies. With case studies of films such as Under the Skin
(2013) and T2: Trainspotting (2017), as well as TV adaptations like
War and Peace (2016) and Narcos (2015 - 2017), Intercultural Screen
Adaptation offers readers an invigorating look at adaptations from
a variety of critical perspectives, incorporating the uses of
landscape, nostalgia and translation.
These lectures constitute the earliest version of Hegel's
Philosophy of Right, one of the most influential works in Western
political theory. They introduce a notion of civil society that has
proven of inestimable importance to diverse philosophical and
social agendas. This transcription of the lectures, which remained
in obscurity until 1982, presents the philosopher's social thought
with clarity and boldness. It differs in some significant respects
from Hegel's own published version of 1821. Nowhere does Hegel make
plainer the difference between his concept of objective spirit and
traditional concepts of natural law or offer a more prominent
treatment of the key notion of recognition. His description of
poverty is more forceful and his critique of existing social
conditions more thorough than in the published edition, which had
to satisfy the Prussian censor. The strictly limited powers of the
monarch are more clearly delineated in the Heidelberg lectures, and
the arguments for a bicameral legislature are more explicit. Hegel
formulates in a more dynamic way his understanding of the
relationship between rationality and actuality-the rational is not
what exists but what is coming into being-and sets forth more
simply and clearly the central themes of his political
philosophy-freedom, justice, and community. The Heidelberg lectures
are an indispensable resource for understanding the edition of 1821
and an invaluable supplement to one of the great classics of
political philosophy.
