Описание: The early years of film were dominated by competition between inventors in America and France, especially Thomas Edison and the Lumi re brothers . But while these have generally been considered the foremost pioneers of film, they were not the only crucial figures in its inception. Telling the story of the white-hot years of filmmaking in the 1890s, Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema seeks to restore Robert Paul, Britain's most important early innovator in film, to his rightful place.

From improving upon Edison's Kinetoscope to cocreating the first movie camera in Britain to building England's first film studio and launching the country's motion-picture industry, Paul played a key part in the history of cinema worldwide. It's not only Paul's story, however, that historian Ian Christie tells here. Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema also details the race among inventors to develop lucrative technologies and the jumbled culture of patent-snatching, showmanship, and music halls that prevailed in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Both an in-depth biography and a magnificent look at early cinema and fin-de-si cle Britain, Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema is a first-rate cultural history of a fascinating era of global invention, and the revelation of one of its undervalued contributors.

Описание: The future of Star Trek is modelled on the world of the British Golden Age of Sail as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. Star Trek and the British Age of Sail re-historicizes and remaps the origins of Star Trek and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world - the Star Trek continuum - on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.

Описание: Despite the insatiable public appetite for all things <em>Star Wars</em>, the more analytical side of the saga is all too often ignored. This book offers a new way of seeing George Lucas' space opera - particularly the prequel trilogy, a series never given a fair chance because of constant comparisons to the iconic originals.<br><br> In the classic style of Joseph Campbell, the trilogy is viewed through the lens of myth and metaphor, revealing a body of work not only worthy of scholarly study but perhaps destined to find therein its home. A wide variety of philosophical and mythological themes are presented and expounded upon, drawing from a rich source of scholars, thinkers, writers, and poets from East and West alike. Heretical or not, the <em>Star Wars</em> prequels are a surprisingly rich source of insight into the whole saga as well as the human drama as a whole.

Описание: This is a revisionist account of the origins of the British Empire in Asia in the early modern period. David Veevers shows that it was the integration of Europeans into non-European economies, states and societies which was central to British imperial and commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise.
