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.
A cutting-edge appraisal of revolution and its future. On
Revolutions, co-authored by six prominent scholars of revolutions,
reinvigorates revolutionary studies for the twenty-first century.
Integrating insights from diverse fields-including civil resistance
studies, international relations, social movements, and
terrorism-they offer new ways of thinking about persistent problems
in the study of revolution. This book outlines an approach that
reaches beyond the common categorical distinctions. As the authors
argue, revolutions are not just political or social, but they
feature many types of change. Structure and agency are not mutually
distinct; they are mutually reinforcing processes. Contention is
not just violent or nonviolent, but it is usually a mix of both.
Revolutions do not just succeed or fail, but they achieve and
simultaneously fall short. And causal conditions are not just
domestic or international, but instead, they are dependent on the
interplay of each. Demonstrating the merits of this approach
through a wide range of cases, the authors explore new
opportunities for conceptual thinking about revolution, provide
methodological advice, and engage with the ethical issues that
exist at the nexus of scholarship and activism.

Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department
store, believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Oscars were won by Edmund
Gwenn (Best Supporting Actor) and George Seaton (Best Screenplay)
and the film was remade in 1994 with Richard Attenborough in the
lead.
This important book considers the ways in which small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can thrive in the age of big data.
To address this central issue from multiple viewpoints, the editors
introduce a collection of experiences, insights, and guidelines
from a variety of expert researchers, each of whom provides a piece
to solve this puzzle. Contributions address the limitations faced
by SMEs in their access to data and demonstrate that the key to
overcoming this issue is to be aware of these limitations, to work
within them, and to use them to think creatively about how to
overcome obstacles in new ways. They discuss Artificial
Intelligence, revenue blueprinting, GDPR compliance, and other key
topics related to the relationships between SMEs and data. Offering
ideas to inspire big data-driven success by SMEs making smaller
investments, the book argues that there must be a place for
"ordinary" data-driven journeys that are available to firms of any
size. Stimulating further thought and action, Big Data in Small
Business will be of great interest to academics, researchers, and
practitioners in areas such as strategic management, organizational
and innovation studies, marketing, and sales. The ideas and
information in this book will help fill knowledge gaps related to
important aspects of capabilities, functions, and transformations
of big data that drive business growth.
