Essential Cinema: An Introduction to Film Analysis

Cengage Learning'

This collection of classic tales comprises over 50 accounts of true-life adventure taken from contemporary memoirs, letters and journals. They span the years 1800 to the end of this century, in a period which can be termed the modern age of exploration. Inspired by Ernest Shackleton's 1914-15 escape from the bitter clutches of Antarctica, this book is by turn inspirational, harrowing, tragic and unimaginable. It recounts stories of ordinary mortals who achieved extraordinary things. From the ice-locked poles and endless deserts of Arabia to the storm-tossed South Atlantic, the rainforests of the Amazon and sheer peaks of the Himalayas, the world's most famous adventurers recount their experiences.

<p>Using over 150 eyewitness documents, this anthology reconstructs Ancient Egyptian history from the unification of the kingdoms in c.3150BC to the conquest by Rome in 30BC. But more than this, The Mammoth Book of How it Happened - Ancient Egypt paints an unforgettably vivid picture of the way of life of the Ancient Egyptians, from their love affairs to peasant toil, from marriage contracts to trials for tomb-robbery, from the building of the pyramids to mummification processes and the myth of Osiris to spells for the Afterlife.</p>

Tomorrow Through the Past: Neal Stephenson and the Project of Global Modernization is the first collection of scholarly essays dedicated exclusively to this important voice in contemporary American fiction. The collection grew from five essays originally presented at the 2006 XXth Century Literature Conference at the University of Louisville, and the contributors are made up of graduate students, independent scholars, and university professors who hope the collection will aid general readers as well as instructors teaching Stephenson and professionals building the critical response to his work. Reading through the lenses of history and linguistic, cultural, and science fiction studies, the essays in the collection examine each of Stephenson s novels from The Big U to The Baroque Cycle as well as his long non-fiction work on computer operating systems, In the Beginning ... Was the Command Line. Included in this collection is a new interview conducted with Stephenson during the summer of 2006.
