Ernest Want
During the second world war he was regional civil defence medical officer for the city, and in 1948 he became chairman of medical boards responsible for assessing war pensions and industrial injuries. Provision of the Nottingham mental health service owes much to his influence, his main achievement being the erection of a new junior training centre, the first purpose-built for disabled children in the city, together with the plan for an adult training centre, which was erected in 1972.

Philosophers on film from Bergson to Badiou : a critical reader
\"Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou is an anthology of writings on cinema and film by many of the major thinkers in continental philosophy. The book presents a selection of fundamental texts, each accompanied by an introduction and exposition by the editor, Christopher Kul-Want, that places the philosophers within a historical and intellectual framework of aesthetic and social thought. Encompassing a range of intellectual traditions--Marxism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, gender and affect theories--this critical reader features writings by Bergson, Benjamin, Adorno and Horkheimer, Merleau-Ponty, Baudrillard, Irigaray, Lyotard, Deleuze, Kristeva, Agamben, éZiézek, Nancy, Cavell, Ranciلere, Badiou, Stiegler, and Silverman. Many texts discuss cinema as a mass medium; others develop phenomenological analyses of film itself. They reflect upon the potential of film to challenge dominant forms of ideology. The anthology considers the ways in which cinema can disrupt the clichâes of capitalist images and offer radical possibilities for creating new worlds of visceral experience outside the grasp of habitual forms of knowledge and subjectivity. Ranging from the early silent period of cinema through the classics of European and Hollywood cinema to the early twenty-first century, the films discussed offer a vivid sense of these philosophers' concepts and ideas, casting new light on the history of cinema. This reader is an essential and valuable resource for a wide range of courses in film and philosophy\"-- Provided by publisher.

A discussion of surjective cellular automata
The first chapter of this paper is concerned with finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of automata. This problem is reduced to the study of semigroups of matrices. Partition permutivity, a generalisation of the concept of permutivity is developed and analysed. Chapter two is devoted to the study of surjective automata from the point of view of ergodic theory. Surjectivity is shown to be equivalent to measure preservation. Several types of automata are shown to be strongly mixing. Bipermutive automata are shown to be equivalent to one-sided Bernoulli shifts. Products of automata are shown to also be automata. An index of ergodicity is developed for local functions.

Le chien Man Ray
Discusses William Wegman's performances of the 1970s featuring his dog Man Ray which have been issued in a compilation video.
