The complete series 1-3 of the blackly comic drama starring Bryan Cranston as a high school chemistry teacher who discovers that he is dying from inoperable lung cancer and decides to raise money for his family by embarking on a new career as a crystal meth dealer.
Season 1
Bryan Cranston gives an Emmy Award-winning performance as Walter White, a down-on-his-luck chemistry teacher struggling to make ends meet for his wife and physically challenged son. Everything changes when Walter receives a startling diagnosis: terminal lung cancer. With only a few years to live and nothing to lose, Walter uses his training as a chemist to cook and sell crystal meth with one of his former students. As his status grows, so do his lies, but Walt will stop at nothing to make sure his family is taken care of after he’s gone, even if it means putting all their lives on the line.
Season 2
Season 2 finds Walt and Jesse in way over their heads. As their partnership reaches new heights, Walt and Jesse begin to see the extremes of the drug trafficking business. Their trademark blue meth is making them rich, but it’s getting more difficult than ever for Walt to conceal the truth from his wife Skyler, his son Walter Jr. and his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank. Walt struggles to maintain control of his life as he contends with vicious drug dealers, an increasingly distant wife and son, the impending birth of his daughter, and a strung-out business partner – all while battling terminal lung cancer.
Season 3
Even though his cancer is in remission, chemistry-teacher-turned-meth- maker Walt White still can’t catch a break. His wife has filed for divorce, his DEA agent brother-in-law is out to bust him and a Mexican cartel just wants him dead. But with his family’s future still at stake, Walt cooks up a deal that will make him a fortune, a scheme with a terrible price.

Carl Upsdell and Mauro Casalese direct this animated feature which
traces the origins of the Marvel Comics character. With his
adamantium skeleton, ability to self-heal and razor sharp claws,
Wolverine (voice of Brian Drummond) is arguably the toughest of all
the X-Men. However, he wasn't always this way - the adamantium was
bonded to his skeleton as part of the project known as 'Weapon-X'.
But what of Wolverine's life before this? Where was he born and
raised and how did he end up as a subject of the Weapon-X project?
This book seeks to unfold the complexity within the works of
Dambudzo Marechera and presents scholars and readers with a way of
reading his works in light of utopian thinking. Writing during a
traumatic transitional period in Zimbabwe's history, Marechera
witnessed the upheavals caused by different parties battling for
power in the nation. Aware of the fact that all institutionalized
narratives - whether they originated from the colonial governance
of the UK, Ian Smith's white minority regime, or Zimbabwe's
revolutionary parties - appeal to visions of a utopian society but
reveal themselves to be fiction, Marechera imagined a unique
utopia. For Marechera, utopia is not a static entity but a moment
of perpetual change. He rethinks utopia by phrasing it as an
ongoing event that ceaselessly contests institutionalized
narratives of the postcolonial self and its relationship to
society. Marechera writes towards a vision of an alternative future
for the country. Yet, it is a vision that does not constitute a
fully rounded sense of utopia. Being cautious about the world and
the operation of power upon the people, rather than imposing his
own utopian ideals, Marechera chooses instead to destabilize the
narrative constitution of the self in relation to society in order
to turn towards a truly radical utopian thinking that empowers the
individual.

#MeToo movement sparked many debates and increased the demand for
more problematized perspectives on the issue of sexual harassment.
This book opens for new understandings of sexual harassment by
bringing researchers, writers, and policymakers in the Nordic
region into dialogue in an ambitious volume. It asks what role
juridical frameworks can and should play in prevention and raises
questions about how the image of Nordic states - as gender equal,
colour blind and with strong welfare - affects the work against
sexual harassment in the region. Re-imagining definitions of
justice, violence, exploitation and work, this book offers
knowledge of immediate importance for everyone working to prevent
sexual harassment, through research, policy making, or in everyday
practice.
Through a discussion of current perspectives in philosophy of
history-especially with a critical approach to Paul Ricoeur's
work-and a rigorous reading of Karl Marx's oeuvre, Karl Marx,
Historian of Social Times and Spaces proposes a novel
interpretation of Marx's concept and method of historical
knowledge. In this sense, the examination of Marx's concepts of
social space and social time serve to highlight the resources
offered by his work, and their possible application in explaining
the dynamics of complex multilinear development of human societies
and of capitalism in particular.
General approaches to multiculturalism run the risk of overlooking
an increasingly diverse student population that deserves special
consideration and attention: students from immigrant backgrounds
whose families toil the fields in order to provide better
educational opportunities for their children. This book's purpose
is to guide educators to think deeply about their roles and
responsibilities in the education of children of farmworker
families in our nation's schools. Readers will view their
classrooms, schools, districts, and the migrant programs they lead
in a broad and inclusive manner through the lens of cultural
proficiency. The initial steps when embracing cultural proficiency
entails thinking reflectively about one's own values and behaviors
and the school's policies and practices toward children of
farmworker families. Cultivating a willingness, openness and
commitment to meeting the challenges and opportunities of this
often-invisible aspect of diversity is an important first step for
the development of effective educational practices for migrant
students and their families. The cultural proficiency framework can
inform staff development models for working effectively with
migrant students and their families.

This volume explores dynamic conversations through history between
individuals and communities over questions about religion and
state. Divided into two sections, our authors begin with
considerations on the separation of religion and state, as well as
Roger Williams' concept of religious freedom. Authors in the first
half consider nuanced debates centered on emerging narratives, with
particular emphasis on Native America, Early Americans, and
experiences in American immigration after Independence. The first
half of the volume examines voices in American History as they
publicly engage with notions of secular ideology. Discussions then
shift as the volume broadens to world perspectives on
religion-state relations. Authors consider critical questions of
nation, religious identity and transnational narratives. The intent
of this volume is to privilege new narratives about religion-state
relations. Decentering discussions away from national narratives
allows for emerging voices at the individual and community levels.
This volume offers readers new openings through which to understand
critical but overlooked interactions between individuals and groups
of people with the state over questions about religion.
This book proposes to excite readers to engage in conversations on
how Schools and Colleges of Education can internationalize teacher
education programs so that graduates have global teaching
experiences, that teacher education curricula include global
perspectives, and that there are opportunities to have faculty
think and teach from a global perspective. The contributions in
this book are by authors who have the knowledge and expertise in
international teacher education to answer many questions regarding
the development of a 21st century competent global teaching force.
They describe their experiences, programs, and support for the goal
of continuing to internationalize Schools and Colleges of
Education. The book is designed to be interactive - readers are
encouraged to engage themselves in the conversation as the editor
invites them to e-mail any of the authors to discuss questions
posed. Questions addressed in this issue include defining
internationalization, global teacher competency, hearing "voices
from the field" as graduates and faculty share how
internationalization has had an impact on teaching, program
development, and professional and personal development. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Teaching Education.
Under threat from natural and human disturbance, tropical dry
forests are the most endangered ecosystem in the tropics, yet they
rarely receive the scientific or conservation attention they
deserve. In a comprehensive overview, Tropical Dry Forests in the
Americas: Ecology, Conservation, and Management examines new
approaches for data sampling and analysis using remote sensing
technology, discusses new ecological and econometric methods, and
critically evaluates the socio-economic pressures that these forest
are facing at the continental and national levels. The book
includes studies from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, and
Brazil that provide in-depth knowledge about the function, status,
and conservation efforts of these endangered forests. It presents
key elements of synthesis from standardized work conducted across
all sites. This unique contribution provides new light in terms of
these forests compared to each other not only from an ecological
perspective but also in terms of the pressures that they are
facing, and their respective responses. Written by experts from a
diversity of fields, this reference brings together the many facets
of function, use, heritage, and future potential of these forests.
It presents an important and exciting synthesis of many years of
work across countries, disciplines, and cultures. By standardizing
approaches for data sampling and analysis, the book gives readers
comparison information that cannot be found anywhere else given the
high level of disparity that exists in the current literature.

The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39, was the curtain-raiser to World War
II, and the major international event of the 1930s. It was the
first great clash of 20th-century ideologies, between the rebel
Nationalist army led by General Franco (right-wing, and aided by
Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy), and the Republican army of the
government (left-wing, and aided by the Communist Soviet Union and
many volunteers from liberal democracies). Three years of
widespread campaigns involved the most modern weapons available.
The war was fought ruthlessly by both sides, and when the
Nationalists secured victory they installed a dictatorship that
lasted until November 1975 - the last such regime in Western
Europe. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork, this
first part of a two-part study depicts the fighting men of the
Nationalist forces that strove to take control of Spain alongside
their German and Italian allies.
