Bestiality, battered babies and bucket loads of bodily fluids are
the order of the day in this gross-out comedy horror sequel. The
flesh-hungry monsters are on the rampage once again, this time in a
neighbouring town, and the locals must join forces with the
survivors from the first film to figure out how they can possibly
survive their indiscriminately vicious onslaught.

movie. When Seeger is blackmailed into leading a highly dangerous
rescue attempt to free a billionaire's kidnapped son in South
Africa, he goes along with the mission. But when Seeger finds out
that he's been double-crossed the gloves come off - and now there's
going to be hell to pay.
Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema discusses how cinema,
particularly Hollywood, impacts the cultural identities we
construct for ourselves in order to make sense of who we are in the
world. The politics of representation in cinema influence the
boundaries of ethnic and racial characteristics and invent cultural
and symbolic meanings that create a conventional image throughout
the world. The transnational perspective, dissolves, fragments, and
decentralizes this image, leaving the nationalist understanding of
identity to a hybrid form. Cultures and identities that are
expanded across borders form a mosaic by combining their local
characteristics with those of the host cultures. This book examines
the transnational and transcultural characteristics of Hollywood
cinema. The narrative, cinematographic, and aesthetic structures of
Hollywood cinema are turned upside down as chapters analyze gender,
social, cultural, and economic-political contexts. Scholars of
international communication, film, and social sciences will find
this book particularly interesting.
Traditional semantic description of Ancient Greek prepositions has
struggled to synthesize the varied and seemingly arbitrary uses
into something other than a disparate, sometimes overlapping list
of senses. The Cognitive Linguistic approach of prototype theory
holds that the meanings of a preposition are better explained as a
semantic network of related senses that radially extend from a
primary, spatial sense. These radial extensions arise from
contextual factors that affect the metaphorical representation of
the spatial scene that is profiled. Building upon the Cognitive
Linguistic descriptions of Bortone (2009) and Luraghi (2009),
linguists, biblical scholars, and Greek lexicographers apply these
developments to offer more in-depth descriptions of select
postclassical Greek prepositions and consider the exegetical and
lexicographical implications of these findings. This volume will be
of interest to those studying or researching the Greek of the New
Testament seeking more linguistically-informed description of
prepositional semantics, particularly with a focus on the
exegetical implications of choice among seemingly similar
prepositions in Greek and the challenges of potentially mismatched
translation into English.
A major study on the theology of Beloved Community. This
long-awaited work by the church's top clergy, scholars, and thought
leaders examines the theological foundation of Beloved Community
and its threats. It addresses such important topics as the legacy
and sin of white supremacy, economic disparity, racial healing, and
the call for reparations. The committee's work sheds light on the
societal and cultural implications of the largest obstacle to the
core mission of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and outlines what is
necessary for the future of racial justice. "I am so grateful for
the... work of the theologians and bishops who have spent the last
five years working on [this study] . . . This is hard and holy
work, not to hurt or harm, but to help and heal." -Michael B.
Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church
Theologians today are facing a crisis of identity. Are they members
of the academy or the church? Is it still possible to be members of
both? In God and the Teaching of Theology, Steven Harris argues a
way through the impasse by encompassing both church and academy
within the umbrella of the divine economy. To accomplish this,
Harris uses St. Paul's description of this economy in the opening
chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians. Through Paul's
discussion of wisdom, the Spirit, and the apostles' role in sharing
that divine wisdom, theologians of the patristic, medieval, and
Reformation eras found a description of their own work as
educators; they discovered that they too had roles within the same
divine economy. This book thus offers a rich description of the
teaching of theology as part of God's own divine pedagogy,
stretching from God the teacher himself, through the nature of
students and teachers of theology, to the goal of this pedagogy:
human salvation in the knowledge of God. In addressing the current
identity crisis of theology faculties, Harris looks backward in
order to chart a way forward. His book will appeal to academic
theologians, and to theological and church educators, pastors, and
Christians interested in the relationship between academic study
and their faith.

Stephen Thrower takes a kaleidoscopic journey through the heyday of
horror and exploitation cinema in America.
The island of Cyprus is a truly classic area of geology in Europe.
Perhaps nowhere else on Earth does so small an area provide such an
excellent illustration of the dynamics of Earth processes through
abundant exposures of spectacular and diverse geology. The geology,
natural resources and climate of Cyprus have enabled civilizations
to flourish, and world-renowned archaeological sites date as far
back as the Neolithic period. Much of the wealth and development of
the island has been based on copper, and evidence of its
exploitation dates to at least the third millennium BC. Cyprus is
also a hazardous island. Modern and ancient settlements have been
destroyed or abandoned as a consequence of earthquakes and
landslides. This authoritative work will appeal to all those with
an interest in geology who visit this exceptional Mediterranean
destination.
