meeting a pimp named Duval (Bokeem Woodbine), who seems to have a
fondness for Agnes. With their house overrun by gamblers, criminals
and other seedy characters the girls struggle to lead a normal
life. Cammie (Chloë Grace Moretz) escapes the chaos of the house

basketball player.

high-qualified jobs and industrial upgrading is one of the means by
which China can fuel its brand new growth model based on innovation
and sustainability. Much is known about the mechanisms of
technological entrepreneurship. But how does this happen in China?
Who is doing what? Is there a 'Chinese way' to do technological
entrepreneurship? This thought-provoking book provides readers with
a closer look at these issues and clarifies them through a number
of case studies discussed from the perspectives of both Chinese and
international contributors. Technological Entrepreneurship in China
offers a comprehensive and practical assessment of technological
entrepreneurship in China. Exclusively based on cases, the book
tackles the issues of technological entrepreneurship in China from
a systemic view. In so doing the book provides an account of the
main factors at work behind Chinese technological entrepreneurship
and their interplay, the past and present transitions facing
Chinese technology-based enterprises, and how those transitions
were and are being dealt with. It offers a glimpse in a huge
natural experiment that will prove insightful for both scholars and
policy makers. Contributors: M. Andreozzi, S.-J. Gao, Y. Hong, X.

Winner of the 2021 Lionel Gelber Prize: A provocative look at how
today's trade conflicts are caused by governments promoting the
interests of elites at the expense of workers "The authors weave a
complex tapestry of monetary, fiscal and social policies through
history and offer opinions about what went right and what went
wrong . . . Worth reading for their insights into the history of
trade and finance."-George Melloan, Wall Street Journal "This is a
very important book."-Martin Wolf, Financial Times Trade disputes
are usually understood as conflicts between countries with
competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael
Pettis show, they are often the unexpected result of domestic
political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense
of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the
origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and
business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the
past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while
workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost
their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this
thought-provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors
provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of
rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and
international peace-and what we can do about it. Longlisted for the
2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
and named a Best Business Book of 2020 by Strategy + Business
Sitting Bull famously defeated the US Cavalry led by General Custer
at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. A wise and fearless
warrior Sitting Bull was the last Indian to surrender to the US
government. The speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style
illustrations of the graphic novel create a dynamic format that
encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved
in the story. Opening pages provide historical context about the
Great Plains - the harsh climate and the Buffalo herds that roamed
there; the Sioux Nation and their tribal lands; and the drive
westward by white settlers. Closing pages relate the end of Indian
resistance and the final defeat of the Sioux tribe at the Battle of
Wounded Knee, and how the Sioux Indians live today. This work also
includes a glossary, index and recommended further reading. It
supports KS2 History: 'a world history study' and helps achieve the
goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.

This book tackles a subject that has captured the imagination of
many researchers in the field: attitudes. Although the field has
always recognized that people's attitudes could be assessed in
different ways, from direct self-reports to disguised observations
of behavior, the past decade has shown several new approaches to
attitude measurement. Despite the fact that there is no monolithic
point of view with respect to implicit attitudes or measures, this
book proves informative in capturing the exciting developments that
have taken place over the past decade in the study of attitudes,
and point the way for future exploration. Although researchers in
the field have long used physiological measures, more sophisticated
approaches have now been developed that rely on brain imaging
techniques to examine evaluative processes. This book addresses all
of these new techniques, as well as the new wave of implicit
measures and the contribution they have made to understanding
attitudes and attitude change. This volume will be an essential
resource for students and researchers in social psychology with an
interest in the core topic of attitudes.
The book examines from different perspectives a number of
fundamental issues in the process of transforming technological
innovations into profits. Key cases and field insights from
distinguished contributors show the role and the practices of
government bodies, universities, private investors and companies
within the transformation of new ideas into value, in start-ups as
well as in incumbents. The book takes a systemic view of
technological entrepreneurship, positioning the topic at the
interface between entrepreneurial and strategic perspectives within
the emergent strategic entrepreneurship field. The
multidisciplinary topics and approaches analyzed within the book
will be appreciated by international practitioners dealing with
fostering and practising technological entrepreneurship for or
inside public and private organizations, particularly in Europe and
in Emerging Economies. The experiences and field analysis represent
good cases and findings for scholars delivering courses in
technology and innovation management, economics of innovation,
strategic management of technology and innovation.
