Excerpt from Darby's Universal Geographical Dictionary: Containing a Description of the Empires, Kingdoms, States, Provinces, Cities, Towns, Forts, Seas, Harbors, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Capes, &C., In the Known World; With the Government, Customs, and Manners of the InhabitantsIt was very desirable that more precise information could have been given on South America; but so confused and indefinite are the political boundaries in that country, that much uncertainty prevails respecting the extent of almost every subdivision. I have, nevertheless, in the article America, and in the detached articles, inserted a general view of that portion of the Earth, with all the precision that the state of our information renders practicable.For the first time, it is probable, in any similar Treatise, the most recent subdivisions of Mexico into States and Territories are incorporated into this Dictionary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

John Ford's early Westerns reflect an optimistic view of society and individual capacity; as his thematic vision evolved, he became more resigned to the limitations of humanity. His thematic evolution was evident in other films, but was best shown in his Westerns, with their stark depictions of the human condition. Ford's sound Westerns and his major silent films are compared in this work, revealing how his creative genius changed over time. A complete filmography of Ford's Westerns is also provided.

From the neighborhood pianist of silent movie days to the synthesized effects and "music video" sequences of the 1980s: the great and not-so-great moments in film scoring. Scores from countless films, from Birth of a Nation (1915) through Top Gun (1986), are painstakingly analyzed: how does the score relate to onscreen activity? How does it follow or depart from tradition? How does it represent the strengths and foibles of its composer? The book includes discussion of trend-setting work such as Max Steiner's King Kong (1933-an early instance of music carrying a significant portion of onscreen action), Bernard Herrmann's Psycho (1960, with its unusual, high, scraping strings-only support of the famous shower scene), and Alex North's A Streetcar Named Desire (1951-the first essentially jazz-oriented score), as well as remarks on the work that followed within the resulting trends. Discussions are enhanced by musical reproductions of significant themes and motives. Chapters on 14 individual composers working largely within the United States are given perspective by summary chapters on the silent and early sound years, the decades 1930-1980, and the work of composers outside the United States.

Masters of Lens and Light offers filmographies for more than seven hundred American and world cinematographers from 1915 through 1990. These figures range from the renowned (Gregg Toland) to the productive if obscure (Ernest Miller). There are approximately thirty photos, as will as an extensive list of notable American and foreign films by cinematographers whose outputs were not large or significant enough to warrant separate entries.
