The Films of Larry Buchanan: A Critical Examination

2007 y.
Publisher: McFarland &, Company
Description: Films such as The Naked Witch, Zontar, The Thing From Venus and Mars Needs Women have gained large cult followings, and movies like A Bullet For Pretty Boy, Free, White and 21 and Goodbye, Norma Jean became box office hits. Still, no other independent filmmaker of the latter 20th century may elicit such a disparity of response from general movie audiences and cult film buffs alike as the late, legendary Larry Buchanan. This study, the first serious examination of Buchanan`s body of work, addresses consistent themes such as the end of suburbia, the rebel outsider, the oppressive establishment, the curse of fame, and `creatures of destruction`. The highly political subtext found in virtually every one of the filmmaker`s projects is also explored. Chapters are devoted to more than 20 of Buchanan`s films, information on some of the unfinished, unreleased (and in at least one case), deliberately destroyed projects is offered, as well. Photographs illustrating nearly all the films… [detailed...]

The Films of Terrence Malick

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDespite overwhelming acclaim for his work, director Terrence Malick remains an under-examined figure of an era of filmmaking that also produced such notables as Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. His films Badlands and Days of Heaven remain benchmarks of American cinema, while his recent The Thin Red Line returned him to the pantheon of American directors. In this new study, the authors examine each of his films in detail, drawing on extensive archival research to construct a portrait of his working methods as a director as well as the thematic, aesthetic, and cultural components of his work. This book provides a comprehensive and penetrating study as well as an informative and adventurous work of film criticism. [detailed...]

The Final Energy Crisis Second Edition

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With oil reaching $100 a barrel in January 2008 and the U.S. facing challenges to dollar hegemony, few people would now deny that there is an energy crisis and that it is linked to economic uncertainty. However, the mainstream lacks a theory to explain this apparently sudden challenge to optimistic expectations of long-term economic growth and an end to world poverty. The Final Energy Crisis provides political explanations to fill that gap.The authors engage with depletion trends in oil, gas, coal, uranium, soil, and biodiversity. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, they study energy trends, prospects, assets, and liabilities in different political systems and regions, including the U.S., Venezuela, China, Africa, the ex-Soviet Union, North Korea, Japan, France, and Australia. Far from being a doom-laden work on peak oil, this book offers practical suggestions for readers keen to be part of the solution to resource depletion.This comprehensively updated edition includes 13 new… [detailed...]

The Final Exam: The Life And Loves Of American Medical Students

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Final Exam is an undocumented chronicle of American Medical students studying in Vienna from 1932-38, as Hitler was building his Trojan government and taking over Austria. Because of a quota system in America, which accepted limited numbers of Jews in medical schools, those who wanted to study medicine, had to seek other avenues, some in notoriously anti-semitic countries, where for the price of a steamship ticket and a college diploma, acceptance was assured. Despite shocking terrorist activities by the Nazis, students learned to fight back or else their hopes for a medical career would end. In a life of rich contrasts, students grasped at impassioned love affairs to ameliorate the impending doom. Our hero, Fred Reiner,is young, handsome, with a strong earthy nature, whose sexual magnetism attracts desirable women from all levels of society. This does not detract from his sense of justice which makes him a true hero in his attempt to save lives and… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Hundreds of hardy people have tried to carve a living in the Alaskan bush, but few have succeeded as consistently as Heimo Korth. Originally from Wisconsin, Heimo traveled to the Arctic wilderness in his feverous twenties. Now, more than three decades later, Heimo lives with his wife and two daughters approximately 200 miles from civilization -- a sustainable, nomadic life bounded by the migrating caribou, the dangers of swollen rivers, and by the very exigencies of daily existence. In The Final Frontiersman , Heimo`s cousin James Campbell chronicles the Korth family`s amazing experience, their adventures, and the tragedy that continues to shape their lives. With a deft voice and in spectacular, at times unimaginable detail, Campbell invites us into Heimo`s heartland and home. The Korths wait patiently for a small plane to deliver their provisions, listen to distant chatter on the radio, and go sledding at 44° below zero -- all the while cultivating… [detailed...]

The Final Victim of the Blacklist: John Howard Lawson, Dean of the Hollywood Ten

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Before he attained notoriety as Dean of the Hollywood Ten--the blacklisted screenwriters and directors persecuted because of their varying ties to the Communist Party--John Howard Lawson had become one of the most brilliant, successful, and intellectual screenwriters on the Hollywood scene in the 1930s and 1940s, with several hits to his credit including Blockade, Sahara, and Action in the North Atlantic. After his infamous, almost violent, 1947 hearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Lawson spent time in prison and his lucrative career was effectively over. Studded with anecdotes and based on previously untapped archives, this first biography of Lawson brings alive his era and features many of his prominent friends and associates, including John Dos Passos, Theodore Dreiser, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Humphrey Bogart, Dalton Trumbo, Ring Lardner, Jr., and many others. Lawson`s life becomes a… [detailed...]

The Financial Crisis of Abolition

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From 1850 to 1914, Brazil enjoyed a long period of political and financial stability that was interrupted just once. During this rupture, 1889-1894, the country suffered two successful coups-d’etat, military government, civil war, and a disastrous decline in the value of the national currency. The five years of disorder and crisis came in the wake of the nation’s abolition of slavery and related financial repercussions. This book examines Brazil’s crisis years, for the first time setting post-slavery financial decisions within their international and local historical contexts. Arguing against the “European dependency” interpretation of Brazil’s history, John Schulz explains how planters’ demands for easy credit after abolition were met with shortsighted economic policies. The failure of the expansionary monetary policy of the 1890s not only illuminates Brazil’s history, it also suggests lessons relevant to financial and political decisions being made today.

The Financial Development of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan: Growth, Repression, and Liberalization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This path-breaking comparative study of the economies of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan analyzes the evolution of the financial systems of each country in relation to their last four decades of dynamic economic growth. Each country study is addressed in two chapters, the first covering macroeconomic aspects of the financial system and the second chapter focusing on commercial banking. The analysis shows how financial development has occurred in two distinct phases. Initially interest rates were regulated to remain below market levels, entry of new financial institutions was restricted, financial markets were segmented, and domestic finance was insulated from world financial markets. The second phase has seen a steady, if sometimes slow, removal of these restrictions. This liberalization has meant regulation now focuses on prudential measures for system safety while financial resources are increasingly allocated through the marketplace. The evaluation of the financial development of Japan,… [detailed...]
