Authorship and Film
Authorship in film has been a persistent theme in the field of cinema studies. This volume of new work revitalizes the question of authorship by connecting it to larger issues of identity--in film, in the marketplace, in society, in culture. Essays range from the auteur theory and Casablanca to Oscar Micheaux, from the American avant-garde to community video, all illuminating how "authorship" is a complex idea with far-reaching implications. This ambitious and wide-ranging book will be essential reading for anyone concerned with film studies and the concept of the author.
Where Tigers Roam
In the wilderness of the Far East, there is just one decision to be made... Fight or Die! China, 1934: Peter Wallace and his family are ambushed as they travel through the wild and mysterious highlands. The brutal assault takes both of his parents' lives and nearly ends his own. Peter awakens in an unfamiliar village with only fractured memories and soon learns that his older sister, Sophie, has been imprisoned by the same ruthless and power-hungry warlord that killed their mother and father. When a wandering warrior monk saves Peter’s life, he is taken on as an apprentice and begins training in a lethal style of martial arts. Separated by hundreds of miles and with countless enemies on their tails, Peter and Sophie each find themselves fighting to survive against assassins, ferocious animals and the jungle itself. Astonishing twists of fate pit the teenage brother and sister against an enemy more dangerous than they could ever have imagined. All they’ve got is thrown into the fight for family, redemption, revenge and escape. But will it be enough?

A History of Private Policing in the United States
Private law enforcement and order maintenance have usually been seen as working against or outside of state authority. A History of Private Policing in the United States surveys private policing since the 1850s to the present, arguing that private agencies have often served as a major component of authority in America as an auxiliary of the state. Wilbur R. Miller defines private policing broadly to include self-defense, stand your ground laws, and vigilantism, as well as private detectives, security guards and patrols from gated community security to the Guardian Angels. He also covers the role of detective agencies in controlling labor organizing through spies, guards and strikebreakers. A History of Private Policing in the United States is an overview integrating various components of private policing to place its history in the context of the development of the American state.
Tracking Resources for Primary Health Care: a Framework and Practices in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The global health community is broadly in agreement that achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hinges upon both an escalation of the financial resources dedicated to primary health care (PHC) and a more effective use of those resources: more money, better spent. This book introduces and explicates the end-to-end resource tracking and management (RTM) framework, which includes five components that determine effective and efficient financing for PHC: resource mobilization, allocation, utilization, productivity, and targeting. In addition, this book compiles detailed results from the most recent RTM-based resource tracking efforts for PHC in selected countries. This is to demonstrate how the RTM framework can be used to bring a set of separate resource tracking efforts at different stages of flow of funds into a comprehensive process with an end-to-end "storyline". In order to build a functional PHC system that addresses access, quality, and equity issues, this book highlights the key (public) financing issues that researchers, technical advisors, and policy makers would need to address in addition to more resources.

Cooperative Communications and Networking
Cooperative and relay communications have recently become the most widely explored topics in communications, whereby users cooperate in transmitting their messages to the destination, instead of conventional networks which operate independently and compete among each other for channel resources. As the field has progressed, cooperative communications have become a design concept rather than a specific transmission technology. This concept has revolutionized the design of wireless networks, allowing increased coverage, throughput, and transmission reliability even as conventional transmission techniques gradually reach their limits. Cooperative and relay technologies have also made their way ...
