The Fight for Conservation

Publisher: —
Description: The most valuable citizen of this or any other country is the man who owns the land from which he makes his living. No other man has such a stake in the country. No other man lends such steadiness and stability to our national life. Therefore no other question concerns us more intimately than the question of homes. Permanent homes for ourselves, our children, and our Nation--this is a central problem. The policy of national irrigation is of value to the United States in very many ways, but the greatest of all is this, that national irrigation multiplies the men who own the land from which they make their living.

The Filled Pen: Selected Non-Fiction of P.K. Page

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: ~ P.K. Page is best known as one of Canada`s finest poets, but over the course of her career she has also written a number of essays - meditations - on her life and work, on the nature of art and the imagination, and on Canadian works of literature, painting, and film that have had special significance for her. As lovers of her poetry would hope and expect, these essays are beautiful, intelligent, moving, and delightfully quirky. The Filled Pen brings together the most important of these essays, including two previously unpublished: A Writer`s Life and Fairy Tales, Folk Tales: The Language of the Imagination.. Zailig Pollock, Page scholar and professor of English at Trent University, has edited and annotated this collection for admirers of Page`s work, general readers, and academics alike. The essays, which cover a period of approximately forty years, reflect Page`s enduring concerns as a verbal and visual artist with the power of art and the imagination to transcend the… [detailed...]

David Gilmour
The Film Club

2009 y.
Publisher: Twelve
Description: `In this sensitive memoir, Canadian film critic and novelist Gilmour tells of the bargain he struck with his son, 15-year-old Jesse, who was unhappy at school. Gilmour would allow Jesse to drop out if he would agree to watch three movies a week with his dad. Over the next three years, the two would wrangle over movies that the elder Gilmour thought his son would love but didn`t (A Hard Day`s Night) and experience the irrational thrills of `guilty pleasures` (Showgirls). More important, they edged slantwise, in typical male fashion, into more personal discussions of big topics, such as sexual jealousy (Last Tango in Paris) and alcoholism (Volcano: An Inquiry into the Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry). At the same time, Jesse dealt with serious heartbreak, while his father struggled to find steady work and worried incessantly over whether he had made the right decision in allowing his son to drop out of school. Both for its smart, engaging movie talk and for its touching depiction of… [detailed...]

Vida T. Johnson and Graham Petrie
The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky: A Visual Fugue

1994 y.
Publisher: Indiana University Press
Description: `The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky` throws new light on one of the greatest - and most misunderstood - filmmakers of the past three decades. Johnson and Petrie provide accounts of all of Tarkovsky`s films, interpreting them within a biographical and historical framework. Part One examines Tarkovsky`s life, working methods, aesthetic theories, and place within the spectrum of Soviet cinema. Part Two offers critical analyses of Tarkovsky`s seven feature films and provides a detailed synopsis of each film. The final section surveys the main stylistic devices, recurring image patterns, and themes that constitute Tarkovsky`s `poetic world`. The text is enhanced by more than sixty frame enlargements from the films. This study peels back the layers of myth and misinformation surrounding the filmmaker`s creative life and work, and provides a richly detailed analysis of Tarkovsky`s films.

Description: Book DescriptionThis work traces Audie Murphy?s life as a film actor, including reviews of each of his films from Beyond Glory (1948) to A Time for Dying (1971). A biography of the actor runs from his birthdate (listed as 1924 so he could get into the army a year early, but really 1925) to his three years in the army winning every possible combat medal, including the Congressional Medal of Honor, and from his entry into Hollywood at James Cagney?s invitation to his final dramatic decline, gambling his fortunes away, becoming involved in violent episodes, and dying in a plane crash in 1971. Each of the 49 film reviews gives full credits, including casts, characters, crew, date of release, location, and cost, backgrounds for directors and main players, and comments and anecdotes from interviews with Murphy?s colleagues.

The Films of Fay Wray

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Widely acclaimed as a horror movie actress, Fay Wray is best remembered for her performances in King Kong and four other classic 1930s film thrillers, Doctor X, The Most Dangerous Game, Mystery of the Wax Museum and The Vampire Bat. Yet Wray appeared in 77 feature films between 1925 and 1958, playing leading roles in 67. Many of her films, including her entire silent film output, have been lost or are available only on a limited basis. This heavily illustrated filmography at last makes obvious her sizeable contribution to the film industry. After an overview of her professional acting career, the filmography is divided into three sections. The first introduces Wray`s early silent feature film appearances, the second covers her `leading lady` period in popular horror thrillers and other films in the sound era, and the third covers her latter-day supporting roles. Appendices document her work in film shorts and her television appearances. Commentary throughout includes first-person… [detailed...]

The Films of George Roy Hill

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAs late as 1976, George Roy Hill was the first and only director to have two films on the all-time top ten box office hits: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting (both starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman). A filmmaker with a diverse background in music, drama and television, Hill proved to be a popular storyteller in a variety of genres. His films are tied to important American themes and reflect an ironic, bittersweet vision of life. The book begins with a discussion of the way Hill?s films often make their most important statements on the subtextual level. The stories entertain, but the subtext is often disturbing, contradictory, unresolved. Hill felt that all of his major characters `create an environment, a fantasy, an illusion, and then go on to make it happen.` It continues by tracing the thematic characteristics that are consistent with Hill?s depiction of protagonists who create their own environments and then… [detailed...]

The Films of Krzysztof Kieslowski: The Liminal Image

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPerhaps the greatest European director of the last 30 years, Krzsztof Kieslowski created a remarkable body of work in a relatively short period of time. His films are loved around the world for their dramatic power and consummate artistry. Kieslowski`s cinematic style stands apart in several important respects: his mastery of abstract imagery, his innovative use of sound and his deliberate circumvention of standard cinematic codes. Unlike many other `art` directors - who often fail torise above commentary on the medium itself - Kieslowski uses these stylistic liberties to explore his philosophical concerns: fate, God, suffering, and love. Through close analysis of films like The Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique, Blue, White and Red, Joe Kickasola identifies the unique qualities, and artistic legacy, of this great director.
