Michael Winterbottom directs this graphically violent thriller
based on the novel by Jim Thompson. Casey Affleck stars as Deputy
Sheriff Lou Ford, a pillar of the community in the small Texas town
of Central City. However, Ford is not quite the upstanding citizen
he appears to be, as becomes apparent after he is ordered to evict
local prostitute Joyce Lakeland (Jessica Alba) and ends up
embroiled in a torrid affair with her. When his fiance Amy (Kate
Hudson) becomes suspicious, the consequences are bloody and brutal
as the dark secrets of Ford's past are finally brought to light.
Living Your Purpose walks readers through the five principles at
the heart of NLP. Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is the study of
how people make change on purpose. In applying NLP to your own
life, you simply assume that you have what you need and the problem
is to find it. Whether you are in pain, confused, stuck or in
pursuit of a goal that seems impossible, there is only one problem.
You have not yet made a connection between that situation and the
resources that will lead to a satisfying outcome. This is a book
for everyone who has ever wished NLP could be clear and practical
and rooted in evidence that what it teaches really works. Since
2003, Linda has been one of Canada's leading developers of NLP.
Through creativity, interaction with related models, and study of
the leading edge, Linda develops training that accelerates learning
and transformation.

This book marks the retirement of Professor Sheila McLean, whose
contribution to the discipline of medical law has been truly ground
breaking. As one of the pioneers of the discipline, Sheila McLean
inspired a revolution in the ways in which lawyers, doctors, courts
and patients perceive the relationship between medicine and the
law. The first International Bar Association Professor of Law and
Ethics in Medicine, she has worked tirelessly to champion the
importance of law's role in regulating medicine and protecting
patients' rights. The span in content of this book reflects the
range of contributions that Professor McLean has herself made. Her
work gave direction and shape to a new field of study at a time
when few questioned the authority of medicine or thought much about
the plight of the patient. This collection brings together 21
leading scholars in healthcare law and ethics to honour the depth
and significance of her contribution. Including authors from the
US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the contributions cover
areas as diverse as start and end of life, reproductive rights and
termination of pregnancy, autonomy of patients, the protection of
vulnerable patient groups, and the challenges posed by new
technologies.
The story of gay rights has long been told as one of single-minded
focus on the fight for sexual freedom. Yet its origins are much
more complicated than this single-issue interpretation would have
us believe, and to ignore gay liberation's multidimensional
beginnings is to drastically underestimate its radical potential
for social change. Ferguson shows how queer liberation emerged out
of various insurgent struggles crossing the politics of race,
gender, class, and sexuality, and deeply connected to issues of
colonization, incarceration, and capitalism. Tracing the rise and
fall of this intersectional politics, he argues that the
one-dimensional mainstreaming of queerness falsely placed critiques
of racism, capitalism, and the state outside the remit of gay
liberation. As recent activism is increasingly making clear, this
one-dimensional legacy has promoted forms of exclusion that
marginalize queers of color, the poor, and transgender individuals.
This forceful book joins the call to reimagine and reconnect the
fight for social justice in all its varied forms.

Industrial economics has reach a cross roads in its development;
the established approach, based on the neoclassical theory of the
firm, it now being challenged by a variety of ideas and concepts.
Paramount among these are developments within institutions,
economics and the world of the Austrian School. This revised and
updated edition of Paul Ferguson's successful textbook integrates
these new approaches into a critical exposition of neoclassical
theory. While the first edition presented the work of the Austrian
School as the main counter to the traditional (neoclassical)
paradigm, this new edition widens the theoretical approaches
considered. The volume now encompasses all the major variants of
what is becoming known as the new institutional economics. Topics
discussed include: Subjects which neoclassical analysis has always
found difficult to accommodate, such as innovation and advertising,
topical problems, such as privatization and deindustrialization.
Areas of particular importance for policy formation, such as
monopoly.

While functional foods have become a reasonably well-established
concept, personalized nutrition is still treated with skepticism by
many. The recognition that people would have different nutrient
requirements, or perceive foods in different ways, raises several
concerns-some real, some not so real. Nutrigenomics and
Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition
addresses what is needed to bring nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, and
their associated technologies to market in a truly impactful way.
Edited by Lynnette R. Ferguson, a well-known and internationally
respected researcher, the book covers a wide range of issues, from
the purely scientific to ethical, consumer-driven, and public
health aspects. It takes a close look at gene-diet interactions and
explores the ways in which studies on nutrigenomics and
nutrigenetics can help modulate disease risk in cardiovascular
disease, obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. Topics
include regulatory challenges, genetic testing for consumers, data
mining, transcriptomic analysis, and the role of science and health
professionals in the commercialization of nutrigenomics and
nutrigenetics. The book also examines industry-academia
partnerships as a nexus between the science and its
commercialization by the food industry. These partnerships will be
an important determinant of what value the technologies bring, not
only to the market but to the wider health and well-being of
society. Exploring how nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics can help
modulate disease risk, this timely book brings together
stimulating, well-thought-out perspectives from established and
emerging researchers. It provides valuable information on a subject
that is becoming increasingly important for nutritionists,
dieticians, and clinical professionals, as well as for the food
industry and research community.
As well as describing the development of this frequently prosecuted
crime from the mid-19th century to the present day, this book
offers a critique of the current law. Related statutory offences
are also considered, including those created by the Criminal
Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, and the Offensive
Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act
2012, as is the extent to which these new offences supplant the
common law crime. The author argues that breach of the peace is a
crime which is open to criticism on several fronts. In particular,
and notwithstanding attempts in recent years by the appeal court to
narrow its ambit, it remains ill defined.

Scottish criminal evidence law has recently undergone major,
primarily reactive changes, with more reform on the way. These ad
hoc developments are fundamentally altering the basic principles of
Scottish criminal evidence which have been in place since the 19th
century. The areas affected include: police questioning of
suspects, the treatment of vulnerable witnesses in court, hearsay,
the admissibility of the accused's previous convictions, the
Crown's duty of disclosure and the need for corroboration. This
book gathers leading experts in the field to analyse these changes,
discern any patterns and ask what they ramifications are for the
future of Scottish criminal evidence law.
Emerson the man and thinker will be fully revealed for the first
time in this new edition of his journals and notebooks. The old
image of the ideal nineteenth-century gentleman, created by
editorial omissions of his spontaneous thoughts, is replaced by the
picture of Emerson as he really was. His frank and often bitter
criticisms of men and society, his "nihilizing," his anguish at the
death of his first wife, his bleak struggles with depression and
loneliness, his sardonic views of woman, his earthy humor, his
ideas of the Negro, of religion, of God--these and other
expressions of his private thought and feeling, formerly deleted or
subdued, are here restored. Restored also is the full evidence
needed for studies of his habits of composition, the development of
his style, and the sources of his ideas. Cancelled passages are
reproduced, misreadings are corrected, and hitherto unpublished
manuscripts are now printed. The text comes as close to a literal
transcription as is feasible. A full apparatus of annotation,
identification of quotations, and textual notes is supplied.
Reproduced in this volume are twelve facsimile manuscript pages,
many with Emerson's marginal drawings.
The first volume includes some of the "Wide Worlds," journals
begun while Emerson was at Harvard, and four contemporary
notebooks, mostly unpublished. In these storehouses of quotation,
juvenile verse, themes, and stories are the first versions of
Emerson's "Valedictory Poem," Bowdoin Prize Essays, and first
published work. Together they give a faithful picture of Emerson's
apprenticeship as an artist and reveal the extent of his hidden and
frustrated ambition--to become a writer.
