In Jules Verne's epic tale, Captain Nemo and the crew of the
undersea vessel, Nautilus, journey through an at times fictional,
yet at times very real, undersea world, from the lost city of
Atlantis to the Red Sea. This engaging story is presented as an
exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to
Verne's original text. Specially commissioned full-colour artwork
brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech
bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the
retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young
readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their
reading experience. The highly visual nature of comic book
storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential
ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for young
readers who're challenged or intimidated by reading to improve
their literacy skills.

Australian supernatural suspense thriller/horror. Four teenagers
find themselves on a ride to hell when they are tormented by a
train without a driver in the wilds of the Australian outback.
Novel Beings is a forward-looking exploration into the divide
between proactive and reactive regulatory approaches to the
cross-section of biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI)
research. Addressing an innovative area of academic study, Novel
Beings questions how this research, which has the potential to
create new forms of morally valuable life, could be regulated. This
fascinating book examines the promises and perils of conflicting
approaches to regulating emerging technologies in the unique
context of this probable challenge for law and society. An
impressive, and multidisciplinary, selection of expert contributors
offer considerations vital to any attempt to address these issues
before they become impossible to prevent or rectify. Chapters
explore technologies such as genomics, synthetic biology and
neurotechnologies, as well the profusion of 'expert systems' -
algorithms and simple AI that interweave through everyday life,
from smart assistants, to the financial markets, to social media.
David Lawrence and Sarah Morley also discuss the global challenges
for society and the laws regarding the status of these
technological beings, their protections and obligations. This book
will appeal to researchers and academics who are interested in the
regulation of emerging technology. It will also provide a
beneficial new resource for scholars and postgraduate students
studying emerging technology in different fields, such as law,
bioethics and philosophy.

THE TIMES & UNCUT MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR Critically-acclaimed
and bestselling author Paul Morley's long-awaited biography of
Factory Records co-founder and Manchester icon Tony Wilson. A BOOK
OF THE YEAR SUNDAY TIMES, NEW STATESMAN, MOJO, LOUDER THAN WAR
'Compelling . . . befitting its extraordinary subject.' BRIAN ENO
'Bracing and often surprisingly tender . . . the perfect monument.'
SUNDAY TIMES 'Via Morley's magical prose Tony Wilson comes back to
life . . . inspiring.' RICHARD RUSSELL Tony Wilson was a man who
became synonymous with his beloved city. As the co-founder of the
legendary Factory Records and the Hacienda, he appointed himself a
custodian of Manchester's legacy of innovation and change, becoming
a cultural pioneer for the North. To Paul Morley, he was this and
much more: bullshitting hustler, flashy showman, inventive
broadcaster, self-deprecating chancer, publicity seeker, loyal
friend. It was Morley to whom Wilson left a daunting final request:
to write this book. From Manchester with Love is the biography of a
man who changed the world around him through sheer force of
personality. In the cultural theatre of Manchester, Tony Wilson
broke in and took centre stage. 'An immersive experience . . . very
moving indeed.' MIRANDA SAWYER, OBSERVER 'Not just a "biog" but the
story of a city's history and culture and a unique and disappearing
figure.' STUART MACONIE, NEW STATESMAN 'Morley's biography is as
illuminating on Wilson's strange ability to hold others in his
orbit, even after his death, as it is on the story of his life.'
THE SPECTATOR 'The man/myth Wilson died aged 57 in 2006, but here
he burns on fantastically bright.' UNCUT
A new concise history of modern painting, offering an indispensable
reference to the complexities and characteristics of this medium.
While acknowledging the legacy of Herbert Read’s classic 1959
study A Concise History of Modern Painting in the World of Art
series, academic and artist Simon Morley places the foundation of
modern art much earlier than Read, at the emergence of Romanticism
and the dawn of the industrial age. Structured loosely
chronologically by period, the focus is as much on individual
artists as well as movements, with works discussed within a broader
context - stylistic, historical, geographical, and gender and
ethnic frames - themes that recur throughout the chapters.
Generously illustrated, the global and diverse range of artists
featured include William Blake, Édouard Manet, Hilma af Klint,
Kazimir Malevich, Willem de Kooning, Amrita Sher-Gil, Faith
Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley. This guide also includes an Appendix
in the form of questions the reader might like to ask in relation
to the artists and the ideas discussed - in order to reconsider the
works from a contemporary perspective.

In The Christian Man, Patrick Morley--bestselling author of The Man
in the Mirror--offers men practical ways to deal with life's
problems and become the men of God they aspire to be. No man fails
on purpose. Quite the opposite. When our feet hit the floor every
morning, we're looking for a win. But these are turbulent times to
be a man. In gathering material for this book, Morley interviewed
many men. Their input was powerful. And transparent. They agreed
that it's increasingly difficult to juggle all their
responsibilities as men, husbands, fathers, friends, workers,
churchmen, and citizens. No one understands what you're going
through more than men's expert Patrick Morley, author of the
landmark bestseller The Man in the Mirror, which has sold over 4
million copies. And now, Morley has put together a game plan so you
can get that win you're looking for. The Christian Man is filled
with powerful stories and refreshingly practical answers to
questions like: How can I lead a more balanced life? How can I have
a deeper walk with God? What makes a great husband? How can I
become a dad who makes a difference? How should I think about my
work? What's the right way to deal with lust? By the end of this
must-read book, you will know how to intentionally release the
power of God on the issues that matter most to you. You'll be able
to walk with confidence in the one identity that matters most: The
Christian Man.
- This book interrogates how queer epistemologies can interact with
wider contemporary and emergent global issues in higher education
such as inclusion, women in leadership; internationalisation,
epistemic justice, decolonisation, meritocracy, and digitalisation.
- It examines and dismantles normative logics about the contexts,
hierarchies, and binaries of higher education - especially in
relation to current crisis discourse and concerns about the new
normal - It articulates a global analysis from different countries
and continents and explores the ways in which norms are reinforced
in responses, resistance, and implementation of inclusion
discourses in higher education.
Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine
Commonwealth, Decolonisation, Cities and Public Works, c. 1935-46
illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial
rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of
decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the
years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the
collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories
generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point
to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years
immediately prior to, during, and after World War Two. This will
not only deepen insight of the American Empire, but also grants the
opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the
global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly, it
opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal
evolution, alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines
with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of
their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement.
The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively
excavate the era 1935-46 for the purpose of not just revealing what
public works occurred, but to also uncover what those projects
meant to the Commonwealth Government, the BPW’s staff, and the
public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be
relevant to students and researchers of Urban History, Asian and
American (Empire) History, and Imperial and Colonial Studies.
Architects, planners, and members of the public who are interested
in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed
in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest.
