Description: Illustrated with over 300 stills and drawings, including the complete screenplay, the only book on the making of the spectacular X-Men 2 and the X-Men film franchise. Outcasts from society, the X-Men are genetic mutants, born with superhuman powers, who harness their special abilities for the greater good.

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description THE YEARS ARE 2328-2346 To the Cardassians, it is a point of pride. To the Klingons, a matter of honor. But the eighteen-year cold war between these two empires -- euphemistically remembered in later years as the Betreka Nebula `Incident` -- creates a vortex of politics, diplomacy, and counterintelligence that will define an age, and shape the future. What begins as a discovery that would enable the Klingon Empire to reclaim a lost piece of its past becomes a prolonged struggle with the rapidly expanding Cardassian Union, which has claimed dominion over a region of space that the Klingons hold sacred. Enter the Federation, whose desire to preserve interstellar stability leads Ambassador Curzon Dax to broker a controversial and tenuous peace -- one that is not without opponents, including Lieutenant Elias Vaughn of Starfleet special ops. But there are wheels within wheels to the drama unfolding in the Betreka Nebula. Within the shadowy rooms of… [detailed...]

The Art of the Infinite: The Pleasures of Mathematics

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRobert Kaplan`s The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero was an international best-seller, translated into eight languages. The Times called it `elegant, discursive, and littered with quotes and allusions from Aquinas via Gershwin to Woolf` and The Philadelphia Inquirer praised it as `absolutely scintillating.` In this delightful new book, Robert Kaplan, writing together with his wife Ellen Kaplan, once again takes us on a witty, literate, and accessible tour of the world of mathematics. Where The Nothing That Is looked at math through the lens of zero, The Art of the Infinite takes infinity, in its countless guises, as a touchstone for understanding mathematical thinking. Tracing a path from Pythagoras, whose great Theorem led inexorably to a discovery that his followers tried in vain to keep secret (the existence of irrational numbers), through Descartes and Leibniz, to the brilliant, haunted Georg Cantor, who proved that infinity can come in different sizes,… [detailed...]

Description: The Italian Renaissance is among the most glamorous epochs of European art. Art historians as well as a wide public are fascinated by three centuries of exceptionally prolific artistic creation that produced works of international fame such as Michelangelo`s `Frescos` in the Sistine Chapel. The cityscapes of the great centres of that time would be vastly different without their Renaissance architecture - cities like Florence, Rome, and Venice are veritable museums of an epoch whose art remains vital and influential even today. Impressive illustrations of works from every branch of the fine arts feature prominently in this book, which not only competently explains various aspects of Renaissance art, but also invites readers to observe them closely with its fabulous pictures.

The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites

2007 y.
Publisher: Tate Publishing &, Enterprises
Description: In 1848 seven inexperienced young artists banded together to form the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Together they created a novel style that retains the power to shock, as well as fascinate, a century and a half later. By working together, the Pre-Raphaelites constituted one of the first and most distinctive group movements in modern art, comparable in the scope of their achievement to the Impressionists in France. Widely regarded as the best introduction to the Brotherhood, this revised paperback edition has a new preface and an updated bibliography. It explores the collaborative practices of the Brothers and their close associates, including the major role played by women artists of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. The materials, techniques, and working methods of the artists are analysed, using many close-up` details, to ask how Pre-Raphaelite pictures compel the viewer to see more, and more vividly, than traditional painting styles. This intensity of observation reinforces the… [detailed...]

The Art of the Turnaround: Creating and Maintaining Healthy Arts Organizations

Publisher: —
Description: Many arts organizations today find themselves in financial difficulties because of economic constraints inherent in the industry. While other companies can improve productivity through the use of new technologies or better systems, these approaches are not available in the arts. Hamlet requires the same number of performers today as it did in Shakespeare`s time. The New York Philharmonic requires the same number of musicians now as it did when Tchaikovsky conducted it over one hundred years ago. Costs go up, but the size of theaters and the price resistance of patrons limit what can be earned from ticket sales. Therefore, the performing arts industry faces a severe gap between earnings and expenses. Typical approaches to closing the gap--raising ticket prices or cutting artistic or marketing expenses--don`t work.What, then, does it take to create and maintain a healthy arts organization?Michael M.
