Jodie Whittaker stars in this London-set psychological thriller. Mia (Whittaker) is an emotionally fragile young nurse struggling to come to terms with her mother's recent death. When an old woman in her building commits suicide in front of her, Mia becomes intensely curious about her. Admitted into the old woman's flat by the mysterious caretaker, Max (David Warner), Mia is shocked to discover that it is filled with mementoes and belongings from Mia's own past, including pictures of her abusive former lover Ludwig (Dougray Scott). So begins a journey into her past in which Mia finally learns to accept her own mistakes and faults, including her strong affection for the partner who hurt her, even as she tries to avoid the tragic ending that fate appears to have in store for her. Emilia Fox co-stars.

The Schur algebra is an algebraic system providing a link between the representation theory of the symmetric and general linear groups (both finite and infinite). In the text Dr Martin gives a full, self-contained account of this algebra and these links, covering both the basic theory of Schur algebras and related areas. He discusses the usual representation-theoretic topics such as constructions of irreducible modules, the blocks containing them, their modular characters and the problem of computing decomposition numbers; moreover deeper properties such as the quasi-hereditariness of the Schur algebra are discussed. The opportunity is taken to give an account of quantum versions of Schur algebras and their relations with certain q-deformations of the coordinate rings of the general linear group. The approach is combinatorial where possible, making the presentation accessible to graduate students. This is the first comprehensive text in this important and active area of research; it will be of interest to all research workers in representation theory.
