Sue Short examines how fairy tale tropes have been reworked in contemporary film, identifying familiar themes in a range of genres - including rom coms, crime films and horror - and noting key similarities and differences between the source narratives and their offspring.

There is something fitting about linking the Savoy operas with limericks. Both are likely to appeal to people with a certain type of sense of humour. Why are the Savoy operas funny? Because they were written by a couple of geniuses who knew how to be funny ... never fall into the trap of assuming that Gilbert was the funny one. Gilbert himself discovered that his words didn't work half so well when set by other composers. Why are limericks funny? That's a much more difficult question. Suffice it to say that, if The Lady of Shalot or the Mort d' Arthur were written to a metre of 8,8,5,5,8,...

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the term used for our ability to predict and explain the behaviour of ourselves and others. Accounts of this theory have so far fallen into two competing types: Simulation Theory and 'Theory Theory'. In contrast with Theory Theory, Simulation Theory argues that we predict behaviour not by employing a model of people, but by replicating others' thoughts and feelings. This book presents a novel defence of Simulation Theory, reviewing the major challenges against it and positing the theory as the most effective method for exploring how we know each other and...

This thorough and informative volume presents a set of detailed, globally applicable techniques for seagrass research.
The book provides methods for all aspects of seagrass science from basic plant collection to statistical approaches and investigations of plant-animal interaction. The emphasis is on methods that are applicable in both developing and developed countries.

The importance of seagrasses in coastal and near shore environments, and ultimately their contribution to the productivity of the world's oceans, has become increasingly recognised over the last 40...

This book breaks new ground in providing an in-depth critical assessment of cyborg cinema, arguing that it remains one of the most intriguing and provocative cycles to have emerged in contemporary screen culture. Tracing the cinematic cyborg's transition over the last two decades and evaluating the theoretical significance attributed to this figure, it asks what relevance the cyborg continues to have in terms of understanding human identity, our relationship to technology, and to one another.

In the year 2003, time descended upon itself. A time when the past met the present and the present saw the past. Suddenly, three cowboys from the 1890's could see what the future had to offer.

This quirk in reality left eight teenagers seeking the answer for their situation. It was an opportunity to witness the past, see into the future and meet people that would...
