Triple bill of Disney animated features following a naive and
curious lion cub as he struggles to find his place in nature's
great 'circle of life'. In 'The Lion King' (1994) Simba (voice of
Jonathan Taylor Thomas/Matthew Broderick) is excited about being
king of the pride but is forced into exile by his evil and greedy
uncle, Scar (Jeremy Irons), who wants to claim the throne for
himself. Away from his family, Simba meets a meerkat named Timon
(Nathan Lane) and a warthog named Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella). With the
help of his new friends he overcomes great fear and adversity to
defeat Scar and take his rightful place as ruler of the Pride
Lands. In 'The Lion King 2 - Simba's Pride' (1998) Simba's wilful
daughter, Kiara (Neve Campbell), escapes her inept babysitters,
Timon and Pumbaa, and goes in search of adventure. She wanders into
the forbidden Outlands, where she encounters Kovu (Jason Marsden),
a young cub who is following in the evil Scar's pawprints. However,
Simba is forced to make difficult decisions when Kiara and Kovu
fall in love. In 'The Lion King 3 - Hakuna Matata' (2004) the
original story is told from Timon and Pumbaa's perspective. When
Timon decides to explore the world, it's not long before his path
crosses with that of Pumbaa and they become good friends. But their
plan to find a new home is forgotten when they come across a young
cub called Simba and help him save the Serengeti..

In 1999, a seemingly incongruous collection of protestors converged
in Seattle to shut down the meetings of the World Trade
Organization. Union leaders, environmentalists dressed as
endangered turtles, mainstream Christian clergy,
violence-advocating anarchists, gay and lesbian activists, and many
other diverse groups came together to protest what they saw as the
unfair power of a nondemocratic elite. But how did such strange
bedfellows come together? And can their unity continue? In 1972
another period of social upheaval sociologist Colin Campbell
posited a "cultic milieu": An underground region where true seekers
test hidden, forgotten, and forbidden knowledge. Ideas and
allegiances within the milieu change as individuals move between
loosely organized groups, but the larger milieu persists in
opposition to the dominant culture. Jeffrey Kaplan and Helene Loow
find Campbell's theory especially useful in coming to grips with
the varied oppositional groups of today. While the issues differ,
current subcultures often behave in similar ways to deviant groups
of the past. The Cultic Milieu brings together scholars looking at
racial, religious and environmental oppositional groups as well as
looking at the watchdog groups that oppose these groups in turn.
While providing fascinating information on their own subjects, each
essay contributes to a larger understanding of our present-day
cultic milieu. For classes in the social sciences or religious
studies, The Cultic Milieu offers a novel way to look at the
interactions and ideas of those who fight against the powerful in
our global age.

First extended treatment of the city of St Andrews during the
middle ages. St Andrews was of tremendous significance in medieval
Scotland. Its importance remains readily apparent in the buildings
which cluster the rocky promontory jutting out into the North Sea:
the towers and walls of cathedral, castleand university provide
reminders of the status and wealth of the city in the Middle Ages.
As a centre of earthly and spiritual government, as the place of
veneration for Scotland's patron saint and as an ancient seat of
learning,St Andrews was the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland.
This volume provides the first full study of this special and
multi-faceted centre throughout its golden age. The fourteen
chapters use St Andrews as a focus for the discussion of multiple
aspects of medieval life in Scotland. They examine church,
spirituality, urban society and learning in a specific context from
the seventh to the sixteenth century, allowing for the
consideration of St Andrews alongside other great religious and
political centres of medieval Europe.

How do social work students learn to use research to underpin their
practice decisions? How do they learn that research is not an
activity unconnected to their professional role and
responsibilities, but rather acts as a foundation for their
knowledge? By using the examples drawn from evidence-based practice
(e.g. what is known to work and what we know about social work
processes), the authors deliver a text that will help support
students to appraise and then integrate research into both their
daily practice decisions and their assignments and assessments. It
will do this by defining key concepts like 'knowledge' and
'evidence' and then look at how these concepts include component
parts - from law and legislation to practice knowledge and
reflective and critical practice. Case examples are used to
illustrate how a clear understanding of these component parts can
build to a substantial evidence base from which to draw upon.
Identifying relevant research and appraising its quality are core
aspects of the book. Later chapters show students how robust
knowledge of evidence-based practice can develop into a clear and
confident approach to their workloads and their daily practice
dilemmas.
The SAGE Handbook on Decision Making, Assessment and Risk in Social
Work provides a comprehensive overview of key strands
of research and theoretical concepts in this increasingly
important field. With 49 chapters and four section
summaries, this Handbook describes the ‘state of the
art’; discuss key debates and issues; and gives pointers on
future directions for practice, research, teaching, management of
services, and development of theoretical understandings. A key aim
of this Handbook is to support the development of sound, applied
knowledge and values to underpin reasoned professional judgement
and decision making by social workers in practice and those in
management and regulatory roles. With contributions from a global
interdisciplinary body of leading and emerging scholars from a wide
variety of roles, this handbook has been designed to be
internationally generalisable and applicable to all major areas
of social work. This Handbook provides a field-defining
account of decision making, assessment and risk in social work
which is unrivalled for its diversity and strength of coverage, and
will be of value to social work researchers,
teachers and practitioners, as well as to those in
allied fields such as health care.  Section 1:
Professional Judgement Section 2: Assessment, Risk and Decision
Processes Section 3: Assessment Tools and Approaches Section 4:

Essays on the complexity of multilingualism in medieval England.
Professor Jocelyn Wogan-Browne's scholarship on the French of
England - a term she indeed coined for the mix of linguistic,
cultural, and political elements unique to the pluri-lingual
situation of medieval England - is of immenseimportance to the
field. The essays in this volume extend, honour and complement her
path-breaking work. They consider exchanges between England and
other parts of Britain, analysing how communication was effected
where languagesdiffered, and probe cross-Channel relations from a
new perspective. They also examine the play of features within
single manuscripts, and with manuscripts in conversation with each
other. And they discuss the continuing reach ofthe French of
England beyond the Middle Ages: in particular, how it became newly
relevant to discussions of language and nationalism in later
centuries. Whether looking at primary sources such as letters and
official documents, orat creative literature, both religious and
secular, the contributions here offer fruitful and exciting
approaches to understanding what the French of England can tell us
about medieval Britain and the European world beyond. Thelma
