Editorial Review

Product Description
George Sidney directed many popular Hollywood films, including Anchors Aweigh, Show Boat, Kiss Me Kate, and Viva Las Vegas. Despite their commercial success, Sidney's films seldom received critical acclaim, and his many other contributions to the industry remain unknown and unheralded. In this first serious, full-length study of Sidney's life and work, Monder reassesses Sidney's critical reputation, arguing that he was a cinematic iconoclast who created mainstream films with a strikingly modern sensibility. The critical introduction to the volume explains why Sidney's work has been underrated and how it cleverly deconstructs traditional formula material. The biography highlights Sidney's career during the Golden Age of Hollywood studio filmmaking, including his 14-year tenure as President of the Directors Guild of America. The detailed filmography documents the production histories of Sidney's many features, short subjects, screen tests, documentaries, and uncredited sequences in other directors' films. Drawing on archival materials and interviews with Sidney's former coworkers, Monder reveals little-known facts about Sidney's films, and his career as a Hollywood insider. Rare stills and photographs illustrate his unique visual style. In short, Monder reevaluates the contributions of a significant but neglected artist. ... Read more

Product Description
First published in 1981.

The overthrow of the 'gang of four' in October 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society, and probably nowhere can this be more clearly seen than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's widow, was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. This book describes her influence and the effects its removal had on the arts. Although the period covered is mainly that since the death of Mao, there is also considerable reference to the years following the Cultural Revolution. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
While there exists a wide range of material covering violence against women, very little scholarly attention has been paid to international media treatments of gendered violence. This volume addresses the gap by providing a broad overview of contemporary representations of gendered violence, enabling comparison and contrast in forms of violence and constructions of gender across a wide range of political and geographic contexts. From nonfictional accounts of the mass rapes during the Rwandan genocide to the sexual objectification of women in Serbian media and depictions of prostitute murders in the Chinese media, this book provides an overview of media representations of gendered violence around the globe. In addition to documenting specific challenges and shortcomings of mainstream representations, chapters present insight into the various forms of resistance and hope that exist in each particular area, and analytical essays open up new lines of inquiry by offering an assessment of the uneven changes that feminist activism has enabled around the world. Suitable for students and scholars in womens studies, gender studies, media, sociology, and education, Local Violence, Global Media can be used as a supplementary text in courses on media violence, sociology of media, gendered violence in media, and international perspectives on womens studies. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Operation of Political Journalists
The Canberra Press Gallery consists of those journalists (print, radio, television) assigned by their media organisations to cover the political scene of the Australian Federal Parliament.

This book, by an experienced journalist and author, looks at the workings of the press gallery, how the gallery decides which stories to pursue, which to ignore, and the working relationships which develop between the journalists themselves and the people (politicians and their staff) on whom the journalists report.

Gallery operations, deadlines and beliefs shape the news that is published for public consumption.

Although specific to Australia, I imagine that similar situations exist in other countries, particularly the U.S. and the UK. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Enough Padding To Stuff A Bed
I'm teaching a playwriting workshop where I will be exclusively using the one-act form for the first time. I saw this title and thought it should be helpful, so I ordered a copy from the print on demand publisher. This book is a terrible workshop resource. Out of 288 pages, two-thirds of the book are strictly play scripts and there's a 31 page Appendix that even includes "1,004 Action Verbs for Communicators" that begins with the word Abated and ends with Zoned. Also Appendix D which is six pages of other books published by Anne Hart. Totally ridiculous. Out of the sixty pages she did write, many are concerned with marketing your script, including animation. Most of her writing has no relevance at all for a playwriting workshop. It doesn't help me as a teacher of one-act playwriting to know that many colleges now offer animation courses.

This book about writing short plays has Chapter Two offering atwo paragraph page giving platitudes about writing short plays and then proceeds to give the reader a 100 page full length play.Why? So the reader can simply turn it into a 45 minute play by keeping "...the characters a few as possible, usually about 5 characters." In that two paragraph explanation for filling up a 288 page book with 100 pages of script, she also says one can turn this full length play into a monologue.

I can go on but I'm too upset at the misrepresentation of what this book is supposed to contain. I can understand why it's published on iUniverse where you can't get a refund on a product you're unable to peruse before purchasing. Save your $20 and buy a good anthology of one-acts instead.Anne Hart, you should be ashamed of yourself. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Better than the movie
i just got back from Bosnia, including the city of Mostar, and decided to learn more about the war there. So I found an old copy of the film; "Welcome to Sarajuevo", and this book too.
This is the best book I've ever read about the life of a war correspondant. It also gave more info than the film. I'd found the film confusing the first time I'd seen it. After reading the book I see why they made a film out of it. I'm very curious to see what ever happened with this young adoptee, Natasha. I think of her a lot because the story made her come alive. As I regard my own non-adopted 8-yr-old daughter, I see the same sorts of behavior of Natasha, after Natasha's adoption, when she became a bit spoiled in England. I'm encouraged that this child was so resilient that she turned from a floor-sweeping, hard worker to a normal difficult-to-motivate-for-chores child. Does that mean my own child might also have a chance to be a hard-worker?
This is a very moving, worthwhile story for adoptees, adoptors and people interested in the recent history of Yugoslavia.

Product Description

Events and festivals have an increasingly vital role in our leisure lifestyles. We recognize them as part of our lives. For some, they are a very significant part of our lives.

The network of festivals and events that either adorn the world now, or are planned for the future, can both serve to motivate new visits as well as enhance the lives of the people who live in – or near – the host area. They are also dynamos of cultural development, of sport knowledge and excellence and sophisticated consumption. Such dynamic outputs require dynamic inputs. This book looks at different event and festival cases and forwards separate and current managerial implications and responses to these, with reference to the UK, America and Australia.

Both up-to-date and forward thinking, the managerial themes addressed are: Creative Management, Festival and Event audience development, Culture and Community, Event and Festival evaluation. Festival and event types include sport events, art festivals, community events, live music and culinary extravaganza.

This book was previously published as a special issue of Managing Leisure: An International Journal.
