Double bill of action films telling the story of the X-Men
character Wolverine. In 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' (2009), Hugh
Jackman stars as the clawed mutant Wolverine formerly known as
James Logan. The film, set in the years leading up to the action of
2003's 'X-Men', follows the young Logan from the first awakenings
of his mutant powers in childhood up to his rebirth as Wolverine,
and recounts his tumultuous relationship with his ferocious
half-brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and the
events that led him to sign up to the ominous Weapon X programme.
In 'The Wolverine' (2013), at a time following the events of 'X-Men
3' (2006), Logan finds himself vulnerable, alone and at his lowest
point, after losing his intimate connections with the outside
world. Drawn to modern-day Japan by the gratitude of a wealthy
industrialist from his past who secretly covets his healing powers,
Logan soon finds himself up against the deadly charms of a femme
fatale known as 'The Viper' (Svetlana Khodchenkova), whilst having
to confront samurai steel and lethal ninjas as his destiny draws
him towards a winner-takes-all battle with his ultimate foe The
Silver Samurai (Will Yun Lee).
Shining Lights is the first critical anthology of Black women
photographers active in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s,
providing a richly illustrated overview of a significant and
overlooked chapter of British photographic history. Seen through
the lens of Britain's sociopolitical and cultural contexts, the
publication tells a unique story from the dual perspectives of
lived experience and historical investigation. Edited and
researched by Joy Gregory, one of the period's most influential
photographic artists, alongside art historian Taous Dahmani, who
contributes a keynote essay.The pioneering and diverse work created
by Black women practitioners in the UK over the course of these two
decades marked an important juncture in both documentary and
conceptual practices, including the experimental use of
photomontage, self-portraiture, staged imagery, and photography in
dialogue with other media. Shining Lights showcases the expertise
and evolution of this work, illuminated by ephemera and archival
material, new essays and roundtable conversations, foregrounding a
variety of individual artistic developments as well as the
communities fostered around them. Amongst the fifty-seven
photographers included are Maxine Walker, Ingrid Pollard, Claudette
Holmes, Roshini Kempadoo, Mohini Chandra, Carole Wright, Joy
Gregory, Sutapa Biswas, Maud Sulter, Brenda Agard, Anita McKenzie,

Founded in 1987 by a former engineer in China's People's Liberation
Army (Ren Zhengfei), Huawei Technologies is the world's largest
telecoms equipment manufacturer and second only to Apple in
smartphones. Its emergence into a multinational with over 175,000
employees all around the world is nothing short of extraordinary.
This book delves into the financial workings and systems within
Huawei - and the individuals whose craftsmanship and excellence
enabled Huawei to expand globally in such impressive terms. Their
personal stories tell us about the extraordinary vision,
dedication, and perseverance required for companies to establish a
robust financial system that supports the growth of a world-class
company. Huawei's goal is not just to have profitable income and
healthy cash flow. More important is that operating results are
sustainable.
Although Freud makes only occasional, brief references to China and
Chinese culture in his works, for almost a hundred years many
leading Chinese intellectuals have studied and appropriated various
Freudian theories. However, whilst some features of Freud's views
have been warmly embraced from the start and appreciated for their
various explanatory and therapeutic values, other aspects have been
vigorously criticized as implausible or inapplicable to the Chinese
context. This book explores the history, reception, and use of
Freud and his theories in China, and makes an original and
substantial contribution to our understanding of the Chinese people
and their culture as well as to our appreciation of western
attempts to understand the people and culture of China. The essays
are organised around three key areas of research. First, it
examines the historical background concerning the China-Freud
connection in the 20th century, before going on to use
reconstructed Freudian theories in order to provide a modernist
critique of Chinese culture. Finally, the book deploys traditional
Chinese thought in order to challenge various aspects of the
Freudian project. Both Freudianism's universal appeal and its
cultural particularity are in full display throughout the book. At
the same time, the allure of Chinese cultural and literary
expressions, both in terms of their commonality with other cultures
and their distinctive characteristics, are also scrutinized. This
collection of essays will be welcomed by those interested in early
modern and contemporary China, as well as the work and influence of
Freud. It will also be of great interest to students and scholars
of psychology, psychoanalysis, literature, philosophy, religion,
and cultural studies more generally.
The growing market penetration of Internet mapping, satellite
imaging and personal navigation has opened up great research and
business opportunities to geospatial communities. Multi-platform
and multi-sensor integrated mapping technology has clearly
established a trend towards fast geospatial data acquisition.
Sensors can be mounted on various platforms, such as satellites,
aircrafts or helicopters, terrestrial vehicles, water-based
vessels, and may even be hand-carried by individuals. Mobile
mapping refers to a means of collecting geospatial data using
mapping sensors mounted on a mobile platform. Its development was
primarily driven by the advances in digital imaging and
direct-georeferencing technologies. With the escalating use of
telecommunication networks and the increasing availability of
low-cost and portable sensors, mobile mapping has become more
dynamic, and even pervasive. The book addresses a wide variety of
research issues in the mobile mapping community, ranging from
system development to sensor integration, imaging algorithms and
mobile GIS applications. This book will provide researchers and
practitioners a good overall view of what is being developed in
this topical area.

Husserl and Spatiality is an exploration of the phenomenology of
space and embodiment, based on the work of Edmund Husserl. Little
known in architecture, Husserl's phenomenology of embodied
spatiality established the foundations for the works of later
phenomenologists, including Maurice Merleau-Ponty's well-known
phenomenology of perception. Through a detailed study of his
posthumously published and unpublished manuscripts on space, DuFour
examines the depth and scope of Husserl's phenomenology of space.
The book investigates his analyses of corporeity and the "lived
body," extending to questions of intersubjective,
intergenerational, and geo-historical spatial experience, what
DuFour terms the "environmentality" of space. Combining in-depth
architectural philosophical investigations of spatiality with a
rich and intimate ethnography, Husserl and Spatiality speaks to
themes in social and cultural anthropology, from a theoretical
perspective that addresses spatial practice and experience. Drawing
on fieldwork in Brazil, DuFour develops his analyses of Husserl's
phenomenology through spatial accounts of ritual in the
Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomble. The result is a
methodological innovation and unique mode of spatial description
that DuFour terms a "phenomenological ethnography of space." The
book's profoundly interdisciplinary approach makes an incisive
contribution relevant to academics and students of architecture and
architectural theory, anthropology and material culture, and
philosophy and environmental aesthetics.

to regional economic integration and cooperation processes within a
political-economic context. It addresses the BRI process within the
GMS on three levels: regional, individual recipient countries and
the Chinese perspective. The case studies in the book will help to
provide insights on China's growing economic influence in
sub-regional Southeast Asia and its Belt and Road Initiative. This

relations with Southeast Asia and China's neighbourhood policy and
how domestic considerations are influencing China's policy making.
Inspired by the author's observations of the language curriculum as
a practising teacher for the past 20 years, this book addresses how
the high school Chinese language and literacy (Yuwen) curriculum in
China was controlled and directed in the post-Mao era. Examining
the social and political domination from 1980 to 2010, the book
offers insights into how teachers and schools responded to the
top-down curriculum change in their teaching practice. This book
discusses some of the most important questions concerning China and
its education system: What changes have occurred in the Chinese
language and literacy curricula; how and why the changes have
occurred; who has been in control of the process and outcome; and
what impacts the curriculum changes may bring not only to China but
to the international sectors that "export" education and degrees to
China and Chinese students. The author provides answers to these
questions crucial to both the contemporary Chinese society and the
students who come out of that system. This critical inquiry of the
Yuwen curriculum and its implementation provides a valuable and
timely showcase for understanding the ideology of China's future
generation and the social and political transformation in the past
three decades. In addition to researchers, this book is expected to
have impact on policymakers in China and beyond, where Chinese
migrants and international students constitute a substantial
learning population.
This book features the major research advances on integrated
networking, caching, and computing. Information-centric
networking-based caching is one of the promising techniques for
future networks. The cloud computing paradigm has been widely
adopted to enable convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources. In addition, fog/edge
computing is proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end
devices. From the perspective of applications, network, cache and
compute are underlying enabling resources. How to manage, control
and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on
application performance.
