Four-film collection featuring Marvel Comics superheroes.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Hugh Jackman reprises his role as clawed mutant Wolverine (formerly James Logan) in this blockbuster superhero action prequel based on the Marvel comic strip. The film, set over the years leading up to the action of the 2003 'X-Men' movie, follows the young Logan from the first awakenings of his mutant powers in childhood up to his amnesiac rebirth as Wolverine, and recounts his tumultuous relationship with his ferocious half-brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and the events that lead him to sign up to the ominous Weapon X programme.
Daredevil
For Daredevil, justice is blind, and for the guilty there's hell to pay. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner ignite dangerous sparks and nonstop thrills in this "dazzling action-adventure" (The Film Journal) about the newest breed of superhero. By day, blind attorney Matt Murdock (Affleck) toils for justice in Hell's Kitchen. By night, he's Daredevil, The Man Without Fear--a powerful, masked vigilante stalking the dark streets with an uncanny "radar sense" that allows him to "see" with superhuman capabilities. But when the love of his life, fiery Elektra Natchios (Garner), is targeted by New York City's ruthless Kingpin of crime (Michael Clarke Duncan) and his deadly assassin Bullseye (Colin Farrell), Daredevil may be about to meet his match.
Elektra
Jennifer Garner proves that looks can kill as the sexiest action hero to burst from the pages of Marvel Comics. Restored to life after sustaining mortal wounds in Daredevil, an icy, solitary Elektra (Garner) now lives only for death as the world's most lethal assassin. Using her bone-crunching martial arts skills and Kimagure (the ability to see into the future), Elektra is on a collision course with darkness until her latest assignment forces her to make a choice that will lead either to her redemption or destruction in the ultimate battle between good and evil.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Marvel's first family of superheroes, The Fantastic Four, meets their greatest challenge yet in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer as the enigmatic, intergalactic herald, The Silver Surfer comes to Earth to prepare it for its destruction. As he races around the globe wreaking havoc, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben must unravel the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confront the surprising return of their mortal enemy Dr. Doom before all hope is lost.
Politics and political relationships underpin the world we live
in. From the division of the earth 's surface into separate states
to the placement of keep out signs, territorial strategies to
control geographic space can be used to assert, maintain or resist
power and as a force for oppression or liberation. Forms of
exclusion can be consolidated and reinforced through territorial
practices, yet they can also be resisted through similar means.
Territoriality can be seen as the spatial expression of power, with
borders dividing those inside from those outside.
The extensively revised and updated second edition continues to
provide an introduction to theories of territoriality and the
outcomes of territorial control and resistance. It explores the
construction of territories and the conflicts which often result
using a range of examples drawn from various spatial scales and
from many different countries. It ranges in coverage from conflicts
over national territory (such as Israel/Palestine, Northern
Ireland, South Ossetia) to divisions of space based around class,
gender and race. While retaining the key elements of the first
edition, this new edition covers contemporary debates on
nationalism, territorialization, globalization and borders. It
updates the factual content to explore the territorial consequences
of 9/11, the war on terror and the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It also examines migration, refugees, the territorial
expansion of the European Union, and territorial divisions in the
home and workplace.
The book emphasizes the underlying processes associated with
territorial strategies and raises important questions relating to
place, culture and identity. Key questions emerge concerning
geographic space, who is allowed to be in particular spaces and who
is barred, discouraged or excluded. Written from a geographical
perspective, the book is inter-disciplinary, drawing on ideas and
material from a range of academic disciplines including, history,
political science, sociology, international relations, cultural
studies. Each chapter contains boxed case studies, illustrations
and guides to further reading.
Tennessee's Thirteenth Union Cavalry was a unit composed mostly of
amateur soldiers that eventually turned undisciplined boys into
seasoned fighters. At the outbreak of the Civil War, East Tennessee
was torn between its Unionist tendencies and the surrounding
Confederacy. The result was the persecution of the "home Yankees"
by Confederate sympathizers. Rather than quelling Unionist fervor,
this oppression helped East Tennessee contribute an estimated
thirty thousand troops to the North. Some of those troops joined
the "Loyal Thirteenth" in Stoneman's raid and in pursuit of
Confederate president Jefferson Davis. Join author Melanie Storie
as she recounts the harrowing narrative of an often-overlooked
piece of Civil War history.
Buddy-cop movie starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. Fast-talking
school security guard Ben Barber (Hart) wants to marry his
girlfriend Angela (Tika Sumpter). However, before he can do so, he
needs to get the blessing of her brother, street-smart cop James
Payton (Ice Cube). The only thing is, James thinks Ben is a
good-for-nothing loser with no real prospects and therefore unable
to support his sister. Ben, eager to impress, applies for entry to
the police academy, and upon his acceptance James agrees to take
him on a ride along to show him what life on the force is really
like. It isn't long before the two personalities clash but when Ben
finds out that James is working on a case to bring down Atlanta
crime lord Omar (Laurence Fishburne), he sees an opportunity to
prove he's worthy. Can Ben show his potential brother-in-law that
he has what it takes to be a successful cop and family man?
Electronics plays a central role in our everyday lives. It is at
the heart of almost all of today's essential technology, from
mobile phones to computers and from cars to power stations. As
such, all engineers, scientists and technologists need to have a
fundamental understanding of this exciting subject, and for many
this will just be the beginning. Now in its sixth edition,
Electronics: A Systems Approach provides an outstanding
introduction to this fast-moving and important field.
Comprehensively revised and updated to cover the latest
developments in the world of electronics, the text continues to use
Neil Storey's established and well-respected systems approach. It
introduces the basic concepts first before progressing to a more
advanced analysis, enabling you to contextualise what a system is
designed to achieve before tackling the intricacies of designing or
analysing its various components with confidence. This book is
accompanied by a website which contains over 100 video tutorials to
help explain key concepts from the book and interactive quizzes to
test your knowledge. Log in to www.pearsoned.co.uk/storey-elec to
