Futuristic action thriller prequel starring Luke Goss as a convict
determined to gain his freedom no matter what it takes. In the near
future, as the US economy begins to falter and crime increases, new
prisons run for profit begin to appear. Terminal Island is one such
penitentiary where a regime of brutal oppression reigns. Beginning
his life sentence after killing a policeman, Carl Lucas (Goss) soon
realises his only chance for freedom lies in entering and winning
the latest TV show devised by unscrupulous producer September Jones
(Lauren Cohan). In the last-man-standing 'death race', Lucas must
battle it out against his fellow inmates in heavily modified
vehicles designed to destroy anything that gets in their way.

Triple bill of historical adventures. In 'The Eagle' (2010) Marcus
Aquila (Channing Tatum), a young soldier in 140 AD Roman-occupied
England, sets out to honour his father's memory by tracking down
the long-missing Roman Ninth Legion in which his father once
served. Accompanied by his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus
travels beyond Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of
Caledonia to confront its savage tribes and retrieve the lost
legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. In 'Gladiator'
(2000) Russell Crowe stars as Maximus, a general beloved of the
Emperor, Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), but feared by the
Emperor's son and heir, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). When Aurelius
dies and Commodus accedes to the throne, Maximus returns home to
find his wife and son killed and only just survives the murderous
dictates of the new Emperor himself. Sold into slavery then trained
as a gladiator, only thoughts of revenge keep Maximus going as he
prepares for a showdown at the Colosseum, presided over by
Commodus. In 'Robin Hood' (2010), Sir Robin of Loxley (Crowe)
returns from the Crusades to his home in the north of England.
There he comes up against the oppressive regime imposed by the
tyrannical new Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen). Outraged
by the Sheriff's behaviour and the general state of the region,
Robin summons up a group of supporters and puts his formidable
archery skills to use in an effort to free the people from
corruption and political injustice.
This book asks the important question; Can the by-products of
research activity be treated as data and of research interest in
themselves? This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume considers
the analytic value of a range of 'by-products' of social research
and reading. These include electronically captured paradata on
survey administration, notes written in the margins of research
documents and literary texts, and fieldnotes and ephemera produced
by social researchers. Revealing the relational nature of paradata,
marginalia and fieldnotes, contributions examine how the craft of
studying and analyzing these by-products offers insight into the
intellectual, social and ethical processes underpinning the
activities of research and reading. Unique and engaging, this book
is a must read for social researchers and sociologists, narrative
analysts, literary scholars and historians. Bridging methodological
boundaries, it will also prove of great value to quantitative and
qualitative methodologists alike. Contributors include: K. Bell, J.
Boddy, R.G. Burgess, G.B. Durrant, R. Edwards, H. Elliott, E.
Fahmy, J. Goodwin, H.J. Jackson, D. Kilburn, O. Maslovskaya, H.
O'Connor, A. Phoenix, W.H. Sherman

The result is a highly readable and systematically structured
introduction to antimicrobial peptides, their structure, biological
function and mode of action. The authors point the way towards a
rational design of this potentially highly effective new class of
clinical antibiotics on the brink of industrial application. They
do this by discussing their design principles, target membranes and
structure-activity relationships. The final part of the book
describes recent successes in the application of peptides as
anticancer agents.

Within qualitative research in the social sciences, the last
decade has witnessed a growing interest in the use of visual
methods. Visual Methods in Physical Culture is the first book in
the field of sport and exercise sciences dedicated to harnessing
the potential of using visual methods within qualitative research.
Theoretically insightful, and methodologically innovative, this
book represents a landmark addition to the field of studies in
sport, exercise, the body, and qualitative methods. It covers a
wide range of empirical work, theories, and visual image-based
research, including photography, drawing, and video. In so doing,
the book deepens our understanding of physical culture. It also
responds to key questions, such as what are visual methods, why
might they be used, and how might they be applied in the field of
sport and exercise sciences.
This volume combines clarity of expression with careful
scholarship and originality, making it especially appealing to
students and scholars within a variety of fields, including sport
sociology, sport and exercise psychology, sociology of the body,
physical education, gender studies, gerontology, and qualitative
inquiry.
This book was published as a special issue in Qualitative
Research in Sport and Exercise.
This book is about the surprisingly neglected area of the
regulation of sex. It describes and discusses the ways in which
various sexual activities are controlled, regulated and made
illegal and/or deviant and illicit. Its primary focus is upon the
multiple and complex social controls (laws, statutory regulations,
professional/occupational codes, normative frameworks)
constructing, constituting and shaping how we 'do' sex, and deals
with sex that is both illicit (deviant, illegal) and illegal
(criminal, offending). The book challenges the idea that early
twenty-first century Britain is increasingly sexually 'liberated'
by suggesting that this very 'openness' provides the conditions in
which all sexual activities have become increasingly subject to
regulation and control. By examining the policies and laws about
various sexually activities, and the social conditions underpinning
them, alongside existing research and theoretical literature the
authors have provided an accessible text on the sociology of sex.
The number of people in racially mixed relationships has grown steadily over the last thirty years, yet these people often feel stigmatised and unhappy about their identities. The first edition of Black White or Mixed Race? was a ground-breaking study: this revised edition uses new literature to consider what is now known about racialised identities and changes in the official use of 'mixed' categories. All new developments are placed in a historical framework and in the context of up-to-date literature on mixed parentage in Britain and the USA. Based on research with young people from a range of social backgrounds the book examines their attitudes to black and white people; their identity; their cultural origins; their friendships; their experiences of racism. This was the first study to concentrate on adolescents of black and white parentage and it continues to provide unique insights into their identities. It is a valuable resource for all those concerned with social work and policy.

Through an interdisciplinary approach combining the concepts,
methods and tools in language and discourse studies and insights
from marketing and tourism research, this book examines the online
place branding of Hong Kong, one of the most visited cities and
well-known spots in the world. The book compares how the place
brand is officially constructed and conveyed by the institutional
bodies, as realised on the Brand Hong Kong website online, with how
the place brand is publicly experienced and perceived by
individuals around the world, as realised on the TripAdvisor Hong
Kong travel forum online. The book also includes comparative
analysis between Singapore and Hong Kong to provide better
understanding of online place branding and findings from the
comparative study identify interesting similarities and differences
between the official portrayal of the place brand of Hong Kong and
its public perception in the digital realm, as well as between Hong
Kong and Singapore in online place branding. The book also offers
evidence-based suggestions on how we can bridge the gap between the
online representation and perception of a place brand and how to
enhance online place branding in general.

Addressing issues of long-standing concern, but from new
perspectives, this book contributes to existing key debates about
sexuality, paid work, the development process, equal opportunities
legislation, lesbian history and women's writing. Extending beyond
disciplinary boundaries many of the contributions address issues
such as the politics and practice of women's studies, and the
specificity of women's oppression within particular national and
international contexts. Theoretical, epistemological and
methodological questions are analyzed from a variety of
perspectives which frequently defy existing categorizations. Moving
beyond the previous positions of Marxist, radical or liberal
feminism many contributions challenge the boundaries of existing
debates and set new agendas for the future. Whilst recognizing the
achievements of women's studies, this collection contributes to the
continuing process of critical self-reflection.
