Reef

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although they cover only one percent of the Earth`s surface, reefs are home to more than 25 percent of all marine fish species. They are the largest living structures on the planet, created over millennia by countless tiny organisms. Reef is your opportunity to discover some of the most incredible wildlife habitats on the planet. Coral reefs are often called `the rainforests of the sea` because of the quantity and diversity of life they support, and because they are highly sensitive and threatened ecosystems. Building on the success of DK`s Rainforest, this unique pictorial celebration of the world`s reefs progresses through an ecological chain that goes from algae, sponges, and mollusks to the thousands of fishes that make their homes there. This vivid collection of photographs, from underwater photography collective Scubazoo, reveals reefs as they`ve never been seen before. [detailed...]

Reel Spirituality,: Theology and Film in Dialogue (Engaging Culture)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The motion picture is an art form that has significantly influenced human culture. Films can shape our perceptions-from relationships and careers to good and evil. They are often a window into the human soul, a glimpse that can be both terrifying and holy. In view of the increasingly powerful role that movies play in our cultural dialogue, Robert K. Johnston, professor of theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary, has written a book to guide Christian moviegoers into a theological analysis of and conversation with film. Reel Spirituality: Theology and Film in Dialogue is the first title in the new Baker Academic series Engaging Culture. Intended for use in the college and seminary classroom, Reel Spirituality helps Christians interpret movies through the eyes of faith. It provides the theological underpinnings for this art form and fosters both dialogue and discipleship.

Reel to Real: Race, Sex and Class at the Movies (Routledge Classics)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In her book Reel To Real, bell hooks talks back to films she has watched, as a way to engage the pedagogy of cinema--the way film teaches its audience. Bell hooks comes to film, not as a film critic but as a cultural critic, fascinated by the issues movies raise--the ways cinema depicts race, sex, and class. Reel To Real not only brings together hooks` classic essays on films such as Paris Is Burning or the infamous `Whose Pussy Is It` essay about Spike Lee`s She`s Gotta Have It, but also newer work on Pulp Fiction, Crooklyn and Waiting To Exhale. hooks also examines the world of independent cinema. Here, conversations with filmmakers Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, and Arthur Jaffa are linked with critical essays, including a provocative piece on Larry Clark`s Kids, to show the radical possiblity of cinema--that it can function subversively, as much as it functions to maintain the status quo.

Description: Book DescriptionReelpolitik II moves past typical left-right political distinctions to examine political ideologies cycling through U.S. history during the `50s and `60s.

They also helped audiences to observe the way film functions as a purveyor of American mythology, a megaphone to shout political messages, a metaphorical route tothe emotions, a flattering mirror, an unflattering microscope, and a magic carpet ride back to the future.

Reena Spaulings (Semiotext(e) / Native Agents)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSet in post-9/11 New York City, Reena Spaulings was written by a large collective of writers and artists that bills itself as The Bernadette Corporation. Like most contemporary fiction, Reena Spaulings is about a female twenty-something. Reena is discovered while working as a museum guard and becomes a rich international supermodel. Meanwhile, a bout of terrible weather seizes New York, leaving in its wake a strange form of civil disobedience that stirs its citizens to mounta musical song-and-dance riot called `Battle on Broadway.` Fashioned in the old Hollywood manner by a legion of professional and amateur writers striving to achieve the ultimate blockbuster, the musical ends up being about a nobody who could be anybody becoming a somebody for everybody. The result is generic and perfect -- not unlike Reena Spaulings itself, whose many authors create a story in which New York itself strives to become the ultimate collective experiment in which the only… [detailed...]

Description: Before the early 1990s, many corporations were asleep at the wheel. The thumping of competition, the loud complaints of their customers, the noise of a changing marketplace couldn`t wake them up. Then reengineering came along, a radical approach that hasdominated management thinking for much of the decade. Now it`s time to take the next step -- reengineering the top line and the bottom line, by using the technique to respond to broader strategic needs. This provocative study profiles six companies that have reengineered for growth: American Express, Baxter International, IBM, Pfizer, a midwest utility and a large financial services organization.

Lauren Brown
Reese Witherspoon: The Biography

2007 y.
Publisher: Da Capo
Description: She`s an Oscar-winning actress, a devoted mother, and a down-to-earth Southern belle. And she`s only thirty years old. In this fascinating biography of Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Brown chronicles Witherspoon`s participation in local talent shows, her Hollywood debut, and her Academy Award for Best Actress. Brown also highlights the actress`s emphasis on maintaining her values in an industry that often has none. Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon was astonishingly ambitious from a young age. By seven, she appeared in commercials and was already taking adult acting classes. In 1990 she earned her first starring role in the film Man on the Moon, and suddenly Hollywood took notice. Brown delves into Witherspoon`s decision to put a hold on her acting career to pursue an education — a hold that couldn`t last when the scripts kept rolling in — her work with her production company Type A, and, of course, her high-visibility relationship with Ryan Phillippe, whom she met at her 21st birthday party….
