The fourth outing in the popular espionage action thriller
franchise based on the Jason Bourne novels by Robert Ludlum.
Written and directed by Tony Gilroy, who scripted the first three
films, the film moves away from the central Bourne character
(played in the opening trilogy by Matt Damon) to focus on a new
protagonist, CIA operative Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner). The film,
which takes up events where 'The Bourne Ultimatum' left off, sees
Cross making the vow to give himself over completely to 'the
operation', and quickly proving himself to be the shining star in a
new generation of deadly undercover assassins. Rachel Weisz and
Edward Norton co-star, while pivotal roles from the previous films
are reprised by Joan Allen, David Strathairn, Albert Finney and
Scott Glenn.
An engaging, personalized look at the interplay between people and
nature in the northeastern and midwestern United States, from
prehistory to the present. The Northeast and Midwest regions of the
United States provide a fascinating case study for the emergent
field of environmental history. These regions, with their varied
resources, were central to the early economic success of the
nation. Consequently, the early industries in these regions altered
and depleted the landscape as people changed their locations and
occupations. Fishing and whaling on the northeastern coast have
given way to tourism and sailing. The great stands of timber around
the Great Lakes have been replaced by farms and dairies. The
textile mills, powered by the falls of the Piedmont and once
yielding wealth, now stand empty. That humans shape their
environment and, in turn, must respond to the consequences is
broadly obvious. Using the voices of historical figures, both
notable and obscure, this book brings to life the interaction
between humans and their environments and illustrates the
consequences of those interactions. Part of ABC-CLIO's unique
Nature and Human Societies series, this book enables readers to
better understand humanity's effect on the environment. Maps and
photographs show environmental regions, population movement, and
changes to the environment by humans Separate listing of primary
sources for all chapter topics, along with a bibliography and
glossary

Howes, John A. Lent, Amy Louise Maynard, Shari Sabeti, Rob
Salkowitz, Kalervo A. Sinervo, Jeremy Stoll, Valerie Wieskamp,
Adriana Estrada Wilson, and Benjamin Woo The Comics World: Comic
Books, Graphic Novels, and Their Publics is the first collection to
explicitly examine the production, circulation, and reception of
comics from a social-scientific point of view. Designed to promote
interdisciplinary dialogue about theory and methods in comics
studies, this volume draws on approaches from fields as diverse as
sociology, political science, history, folklore, communication
studies, and business, among others, to study the social life of
comics and graphic novels. Taking the concept of a ""comics
world""-that is, the collection of people, roles, and institutions
that ""produce"" comics as they are-as its organizing principle,
the book asks readers to attend to the contexts that shape how
comics move through societies and cultures. Each chapter explores a
specific comics world or particular site where comics meet one of
their publics, such as artists and creators; adaptors; critics and
journalists; convention-goers; scanners; fans; and comics scholars
themselves. Through their research, contributors demonstrate some
of the ways that people participate in comics worlds and how the
relationships created in these spaces can provide different
perspectives on comics and comics studies. Moving beyond the page,
The Comics World explores the complexity of the lived reality of
the comics world: how comics and graphic novels matter to different
people at different times, within a social space shared with
others.
