Selected case studies; including American Horror Story, The Haunting of Hill House, Creepshow, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Hannibal; explore horror drama and the utilization of genre, cult and classic horror texts, as well as the exploitation of fan practice, in the changing economic landscape of contemporary US television.

This thought-provoking book explores the link between animals, people and their social and physical environments in relation to livestock farming, food safety, food security and sustainability. Providing an overview of livestock farming and animal related food production systems in a one welfare context, One Welfare: Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability begins by considering the interconnections of animals, humans and their environment. It then expands into the food production system, and considers the integration of positive welfare, stress, use of welfare indicators and the economic perspective. Written by a team of international experts, it connects theory with best practice examples and case studies from both organizations and individuals that have successfully implemented a one welfare approach. Essential reading for academics and practitioners who work within farming, food systems and international development, this ground-breaking text is also an important read for veterinary and animal welfare professionals.

Something of a landmark in the history of dress... the period is notably rich in its documentation and by carefully analysing both the manuscript sources and published accounts [the author] is able to produce an abundantly detailed narrative of the changes in fashion... Tighter clothes outraged moralists, incensed monastic chroniclers and stirred poets... in the last chapter the author discuss[es] the relationship of the garments she has meticulously reconstructed with their possible representations in manuscript illumination, sculpture and painting... Of lasting value... a pioneering book which will be of enduring value to historians of dress and art alike. APOLLO

The evidence for this scholarly and detailed study is drawn in the first instance from documentary sources... contemporary illustrations reinforce the written evidence... The book contains much that is of wider interest than the subject matter suggests: the various mottoes used by Edward III are discussed, and the problem of his expanding waistline is revealed; there are interesting sidelights on the new orders of chivalry. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW

1340 to 1363 were years notable for dramatic developments in fashion and for extravagant spending on costume, foreshadowing the later luxury of Richard II's court. Stella Mary Newton's ground-breaking study discusses the costume of the period in quite remarkable detail, drawing on surviving accounts from the royal courts, the evidence of chronicles and poetry (often from unpublished manuscripts), and contemporary paintings. Her exploration of aspects of chivalry, particularly the choice of mottoes and devices worn at tournaments, and of the exchange of gifts of clothingbetween reigning monarchs, offers new insights into the social history of the times, and she has much to say that is crucial to the study of illuminated manuscripts of the fourteenth century.

This book investigates, from a linguistic point of view, how rural migrants adjust to an urban environment. The focus of Dr Bortoni-Ricardo's study is speakers of Caipira, a dialect of Brazilian Portuguese, who moved into a satellite city of Brasilia. The volume examines in careful detail the historical and synchronic sociolinguistic background of the migrants and the changes that have taken place in their linguistic repertoire, with particular emphasis on phonological variables. Both the theoretical framework and novel methodology employed here derive from the assumption that there are statistically measurable relations between the characteristics of a person's social network and his/her linguistic behaviour. The volume will thus be of interest to all readers, whether linguists, psychologists or anthropologists, interested in language accommodation. As an empirical study of cross-cultural communication problems, it will also be of value to social scientists concerned with the process of rural-urban migration.

Colorful coastal scenery (iceberg; lighthouse, etc.); photos of real persons, some from the 1800s; sketches and snapshots of quaint tools, seen now only in museums ... Together they make up a pictorial introduction to Newfoundland (NL). The written text tiptoes through more than 500 years in time, from European discovery (1497) to just beyond millennium two. It''s a reminder of significant historical events where this large island in the North Atlantic has been used as a link - a stepping stone -between Europe and Continental North America: the landing of the submarine communications cable across the Atlantic (1866); Marconi''s wireless apparatus (1901); pioneering flights in the skies over the Atlantic (Alcock and Brown, 1919; Earhart, 1932 ...); USA defense bases (WWII) ... even a safe haven during the horrors of 9-11-01 ... Despite Britain''s initial anti-settlement laws, the oppressed colony grew. Through determination, grit and fortitude, notable colonists "battled" their way to political independence within the Commonwealth - elected representatives; NL Prime Minister, one succeeding another, and another ...; NL minted currency; NL postage stamps ... Foreign investors became attracted to the potential of natural resources. Viable mines and paper mills became realities; railway lines and coastal shipping routes were established ... Britain was supported during WWI (1914-1918), both financially and with human lives ... Then the world''s Great Depression (1930s) hits. Politically, the story turns grim here, even fatal ... Did the extended "lifeline" have a noose attached to its receiving end? Could things have been managed in a more compassionate manner? Question after question arises.
