John Wiley and Sons Ltd A Companion to British and Irish Cinema
Book SynopsisA stimulating overview of the intellectual arguments and critical debates involved in the study of British and Irish cinemas British and Irish film studies have expanded in scope and depth in recent years, prompting a growing number of critical debates on how these cinemas are analysed, contextualized, and understood.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd From World City to the World in One City
Book SynopsisFrom World City to the World in One City examines changing geographies of Liverpool through and across the lives of Malay seamen who arrived in the city during its final years as a major imperial port.Trade Review‘Here we have a distinctive approach to global and transnational urbanism, one that provides us with “sites and routes” that are markedly different from the normal science of urban studies. In this beautifully conceptualized and written book, Tim Bunnell draws us into life histories that are compelling world histories. In the process, cities are made and urban theory is remade.’ Ananya Roy, Professor of Urban Planning and Social Welfare and Director, The Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin, USA 'This is an engagingly written and sensitively researched portrait of the Malays – from seafarers to students – who have lived in and through Liverpool, shaping this world city, which is now marketed as the 'world in one city'. Tracing the transnational lives of Liverpool Malays, it takes our understandings of diaspora cities and connected geographies in some exciting new directions.'Richard Phillips, Professor of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK ‘Bunnell’s book demonstrates the range of ways in which Liverpool was transformed through the presence in the city of those who had left the alam Melayu (Malay world). It is a study of “the lives of people in places” (p. 14) which takes seriously Massey’s (1994) work on a global sense of place. It makes a clear contribution to advancing the field of global urban studies and is a must read for those of us with an intellectual stake in the future of the field.’(Kevin Ward, University of Manchester) Urban Geography, 2016 ‘Bunnell has created a text that will be useful for those interested in transnational phenomena that predate globalization as we know it today. His beautifully rendered moving ethnography will also be of interest to scholars concerned with the contemporary politics of ethnicity and multiculturalism, especially as they are marshaled in a capitalistic vein to create value for a city that once profoundly underestimated colored seamen’s worth.’(Jacqueline Nassy Brown, The City University of New York (CUNY)) Cultural Geographies, 2017 ‘This book is a well-written transnational urban geography through Malay lives. The author’s sincere and tireless attitude in always turning his eyes to every detailed reality is especially praiseworthy.'Tomizawa Hisao, University of Shizuoka (Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 6, No. 2)Table of ContentsSeries Editors’ Preface vii List of Figures viii Abbreviations and Acronyms ix Glossary of Non-English Terms xi Acknowledgements xiv Prologue 1 1 Introduction: Locating Malay Liverpool 5 Worlds of Connection, Worlds in Cities 10 Sites and Routes of Fieldwork 14 Organization of the Book 20 2 From the Malay World to the Malay Atlantic 27 World City Liverpool in the Alam Melayu 28 Malays in the ‘New York of Europe’ … and in New York 39 The Malay Atlantic 45 3 Home Port Liverpool and its Malay Places 56 Somewhere Worth Staying? 57 Remembering Cosmopolitanism and its Limits 62 Home and Away 68 Places to Be Malay 72 4 Merseyside Malaise and the Unmaking of British Malaya 83 Transnationalization and Malaysianization 84 Student Connections: From Kirkby to the Inner City 90 Urban Malaise 94 5 Diasporic (Re)connections 107 In Search of Lost Ancestors 108 Diaspora Envy and Worldly Malay]ness 114 Old Malays versus the Islamized New Malay 121 6 Relocating Expectations of Modernity 135 Kuala Lumpur: Journeys to the New Centre of the Malay World 136 Tandas]ization: Excremental Transition in Malacca 144 Returning to Singapore: From Third World to First 150 7 Community in the Capital of Culture 165 The Place of Community 166 Glasgowing and Beyond: Towards Multicultural Regeneration 172 Marking Malays(ia) on the Map of the World in One City 178 8 The Last Hurrah: From Independence Celebrations and Interculturalism to Club Closure 188 Merdeka on the Mersey 189 Performing Malay]ness on Jermyn Street 194 Community Conflict and Urban Interculturalism 198 Death in the Place of Community 202 9 Conclusion: Catching up with Kuala Lumpur? 211 Comparative, Conceptual and Methodological Returns 216 Key Lifepaths 227 Archival and Documentary Sources 231 References 233 Index 250

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Role of Parents in the Ontogeny of
Book SynopsisParents believe what they do matters. But, how does it matter? How do parents' beliefs about their children early on translate into the choices those children make as adolescents? The Eccles'' expectancy-value model asserts that parents'' beliefs about their children during childhood predict adolescents'' achievement-related choices through a sequence of processes that operate in a cumulative, cascading fashion over time. Specifi cally, parents'' beliefs predict parents'' behaviors that predict their children''s motivational beliefs. Those beliefs predict children''s subsequent choices. Using data from the Childhood and Beyond Study (92% European American; N 723), we tested these predictions in the activity domains of sports, instrumental music, mathematics, and reading across a 12-year period. In testing these predictions, we looked closely at the idea of reciprocal infl uences and at the role of child gender as a moderator. The cross-lagged models generally supported the bidirecti
