The Making of Alternative Cinema

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: The massive investments made in Hollywood today demand tight controls on mainstream cinema, which effectively dictate--and provide--exactly what the public wants to see…or else. Elaborate measures are thus taken everywhere and at all points to maintain a grip on the public`s imagination, but the more adept Hollywood becomes at giving the public what it wants, the less any given studio is able to say anything new or truly innovative. As a result, one must often look to alternative outlets in otder to find a movie intended primarily as art--or even as a sincere effort at entertainment--instead of as a basic source of revenue. Inside of the United States, this means looking to independent films, outside of the United States, it means filtering through an enormous mass of movies and moviemakers. Foreign and independent movies often play the role of bellwether for Hollywood studios unable to experiment in new genres and styles: thus, behind the look of the studio smash Sin City, for… [detailed...]

Mario Falsetto
The Making of Alternative Cinema

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Paperback
Description: Few people have a true understanding of what it takes to get a feature film made and released. How does a film get from idea to finished product? How do film directors interact with other creative personnel such as actors, set designers, cinematographers, and editors? What is it like to work in the film industry in the twenty-first century? What is the relationship of the so-called `independent` filmmaker to the major Hollywood studios? Mario Falsetto`s searching work provide answers to these questions through a collection of original career interviews with nine exciting film directors. The prestigious cast of directors interviewed in the course of this volume include: Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain), Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting), Neil Labute (In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty), Julie Taymor ( Titus, Frida), John Dahl (The Last Seduction, Rounders), Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition), Alexander Payne ( About Schmidt,… [detailed...]

Leonard S. Reich
The Making of American Industrial Research: Science and Business at Ge and Bell, 1876-1926 (Studies in Economic History &, Policy: USA in the Twentieth Century)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book tells the story of how and why industrial research was established in America by two large and innovative corporations: General Electric, formed in a merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston in 1892, and the dominant force in the American electrical industry ever since, and American Telephone and Telegraph, the commercial outgrowth of Alexander Graham Bell`s invention of the telephone. Important lessons can be drawn from the early efforts of these two corporations. Through industrial research - and particularly through the development of patented products and processes - large companies could begin to exert a new degree of market control by strongly influencing the rate and direction of technological change. The development of industrial research also had a profound impact on science and technology in America. It affected the content and methods of both by providing new opportunities, incentives, and constraints to the growing community of students and engineers. [detailed...]

The Making of Art

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The mechanisms, rhetoric and strategies of today`s art world are probably closer to popular conceptions of the film industry than to the romantic image of the solitary studio-bound artist--so byzantine are the relations between artists, collectors and critics that sit just behind the artwork itself, propping it up, so to speak. The artists in The Making of Art show and trace these structures, offering some transparency as to how this world--so foreign and remote to many of us--really operates. Artists contributing to this elucidation are Pawel Althamer, Azorro, Tami Ben-Tor, Joseph Beuys, Merlin Carpenter, Clegg &, Guttmann, Phil Collins, Tracey Emin, Fischli &, Weiss, Andrea Fraser, Ryan Gander, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jorg Immendorff, Komar &, Melamid, Sean Landers, Louise Lawler, Manuel Ocampo, Martin Parr, Sigmar Polke, Cheri Samba, Nedko Solakov, Wolfgang Tillmans and John Waters.

This postmodern, multicultural nation in the margins is now being made, or remade, in a globalized, deterritorialized world that rewards social and cultural creativity. Theories of globalization that paint marginal areas as losers in the world economy are challenged by this book, which documents the history and the rapid globalization of Belize as it contronts postmodernity.

The Making of Economics: The Foundation

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA classic returns. The third edition of The Making of Economics appeared in 1987. Now, in a major revision, Ray Canterbery brings the book right up to date with new chapters on the `casino economy` (a term the author invented to describe an economy driven by making money with money rather than focusing on real production, now overtaken by reality), Joseph Schumpeter, globalization, and general equilibrium. Canterbery retains the engaging flavor of the earlier editions by covering the times and ideas of the major economists, such as Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Mill, and Marshall, while giving ample ink to the remarkable dissidents ? Marx, Veblen, Galbraith, Heilbroner, and other `radicals`. Canterbery again unmasks a traditional economics eschewing value judgements but itself standing on hidden ones even as he traces its origins to Isaac Newton`s idea of an orderly universe. Personal references relate the great economists` ideas to the societies in which they lived,… [detailed...]

Description: As sites for economic, social, and political innovation, Johannesburg, Mumbai/Bombay, SA?o Paulo, and Shanghai function as gateways to the global economy for their respective countries and the surrounding regions. City administrators face intense competition for foreign investment, and they must develop strategies to make their cities -- which remain outside of the OECD -- world class. The Making of Global City Regions traces the emergence of each city in the global economy and examines the link between the dynamics of globalization and changing urban governances. The contributors describe how metropolitan leaders deal with the twin phenomena of globalization and the devolution of the state as they adjust to their city`s new emerging role in the global system. The contributors provide an overview of the individuals and organizations who make each city competitive in a global context and describe how they market and promote themselves to the world.

The Making of Modern Intellectual Property Law

2008 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: One of the common themes in public debate has been the law`s inability to accommodate the ways of creating, distributing and replicating intellectual products that have developed. In this book the authors argue that in order to understand many of the problems confronting the law, it is necessary to understand its past. Drawing on extensive archival research, Sherman and Bently provide a detailed account of the emergence of modern British intellectual property law. In doing so they explore two related themes. First, they explain why intellectual property law came to take its now familiar shape with sub-categories of patents, copyright, designs and trade marks. Arguing against those who see intellectual property law as occupying its natural position or as being shaped by some higher philosophical principles, the work sets out to show the complex and contingent nature of this area of law. Secondly, as well as charting this emergence of intellectual property law as a discrete… [detailed...]

The Making of Modern Japan

Publisher: Belknap Press
Description: Magisterial in vision, sweeping in scope, this monumental work presents a seamless account of Japanese society during the modern era, from 1600 to the present. A distillation of more than fifty years` engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crownng work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience. Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogu, the opening of Japan`s ports by Commodore Perry, and defeat in World War II. The Making of Modern Japan charts these changes: the social engineering begun with the founding of the shogunate in 1600, the emergence of village and castle towns with consume populations, and the diffusion of samurai values in the culture. Jansen covers the making of the modern state, the adaptation of Western models, growing international trade, the broadening opportunity in Japanese society… [detailed...]

In the context of director Martin Scorsese`s many influences that led to `Taxi Driver`, from Dostoevsky novels to John Ford westerns and film noir thrillers, and the film`s subsequent impact on the work of countless later directors, `The Making Of Taxi Driver` explores how this modern classic came together. And, looking at some of the myths surrounding the movie, asks why, 30 years on it still has such resonance with contemporary audiences. [detailed...]

Description: According to Bowker, there are over 150,000 books published in the U.S. every year. Less than 1 percent of the books published make the bestseller list.
