Описание: Inspired by the munition women of Silvertown, London during the First World War, "Out of the Cage" tells the story of womens courage, dignity and hope, fired in the crucible of war. Early spring 1916, before the slaughter of the Somme, munitionettes all over London met in secret to decide the fate of thousands of fellow co-workers. Their choice was simple: stand up to the belligerent attitude of male workers and an intractable government or forever be seen as second-class citizens of the Empire. Were they dangerous and disruptive elements undermining their country at a time of war, or inspiring visionaries of a better world prepared to fight for a fairer future?

Описание: Beyond the Frame: The Films and Film Theory of Andrei Tarkovsky is a vibrant and critically informed exploration of one of the giants of twentieth century film. Despite Tarkovsky's almost canonized position in the pantheon of great directors and his substantial influence on European Art Cinema, writings on him are surprisingly scarce. Compared to his peers like Ingmar Bergman, who described Tarkovsky as "the greatest, the one who invented a new language," or Akira Kurosawa, who once said about Tarkovsky, "Probably there is no equal among film directors alive", there are considerably fewer book length academic studies of his films. However, in just seven completed feature films, two of which were made in exile, Tarkovsky managed to create one of the most cohesive and compelling bodies of work in the history of cinema. Beyond the Frame: The Films and Film Theory of Andrei Tarkovsky is an academic yet accessible engagement with not only Tarkovsky's films but also his often neglected film theory. It features chapters on each of his films from his remarkable debut Ivan's Childhood (1962), through his defining works Solaris (1972), Mirror (1975) and Stalker (1979) before turning to his two films in exile, Nostalghia (1983) and The Sacrifice (1986). It examines and interrogates a range of issues growing in currency in contemporary film theory which are revealed also to be the cornerstones of Tarkovsky's oeuvre, from studies of memory and experience, to representations of autobiography and time. The project explores Tarkovsky's place in film history and theory, revealing him to be both a director and a theorist sui generis.

Описание: Cross over into a world where the mischievous gods, goddesses, monsters, and heroes of Celtic mythology live among us, intermingling with unsuspecting mortals and stirring up mayhem in cities and towns on both sides of the Atlantic, from Limerick and Edinburgh to Montreal and Boston.
A collection of seventeen short stories, Neon Druid mixes urban fantasy and Celtic mythology, creating a universe where lecherous leprechauns and debaucherous druids inhabit the local pubs, and where shapeshifting water spirits from Scotland and sword-wielding warriors from Ireland lurk in the alleyways. The stories inside this anthology are independent narratives set within the urban centers and environs of this shared Celtic Otherworld. Some are tales of supernatural horror. Others are street-level fantasy adventures. And still others are farcical, whiskey-drenched fairy tales.
Fans of Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and Maria Dahvana Headley (The Mere Wife), who enjoy seeing ancient stories and characters reimagined for modern times, will feel right at home within the pages of Neon Druid. But rest assured, even if yo

Описание: In this vibrant and dynamic book-length study drawing on a broad tapestry of research, Terence McSweeney offers an exploration of The Hurt Locker (2009), its stylistic and narrative devices, its cultural impact, its reception, and its relationship to the genre of the war film. McSweeney places the film in a richly textured historical, political, and industrial context, arguing that The Hurt Locker is part of a long tradition of films about American wars that play a considerable role in how audiences come to understand the conflicts that they depict. Thus, films about a nation's wars are never "only a movie" but rather should be considered a cultural battleground themselves on which a war of representation is waged.

Описание: It is no secret that everyone needs to save for retirement. Without adequate savings, retirees must rely upon the government, their families and charities for support. Americans are not saving enough. We invest poorly. Most retirees depend upon Social Security for over half of their monthly income. Over one third of retirement income comes from working wages. The government is deeply in debt. Social Security is highly flawed. The traditional nuclear family is vanishing like smoke. Supportive charities are struggling for donations. The retirees of tomorrow must be able to support themselves. Everyone knows this. Wealth accumulation is high on everybody's to-do list. So, why can't people save and invest effectively? There are many hidden reasons. Most of them can be fixed. Perhaps you are someone who can't save enough, despite your intentions. Perhaps you save, but don't know how to invest wisely. This book introduces effective strategies that can help anyone increase their retirement saving and wealth accumulation. If you follow this book's advice, it can change your life forever. One does not need to be an accomplished expert to achieve financial security and retire in style. A basic understanding of investment theory, a positive focus, and a disciplined strategy that matches one's individual goals are all that's needed. This book presents complex topics in ways that everyone can understand. This book shares unique and effective strategies that work. Making ₵ent$ of Investing combines basic graphics with simple explanations of everything someone needs to achieve financial security. It lays out the facts. It builds concrete examples of what must be learned, and illustrates them in ways that anyone can understand. Then the book provides a simple action plan. How do we know this works? James' companies service hundreds of employers. James and his organization's advisors have helped thousands of individuals plan for financial security. The keys to achieving financial security can be summarized in a single page. But most people never put them into practice. Education is everywhere. Investment books are in stores around the world. Retirement plans have brilliant educational tools. Mutual fund companies print exceptional brochures. Corporations have powerful websites that can model almost anything. 401(k) advisors lecture plan participants about how to invest for the future. Everything is there, free of charge. But it isn't used effectively. Much of this information is useless. It doesn't alter ineffective behaviors. It can't overcome basic human nature. As a country, we fail at personal finance. How do we change? The mind is like a garden. To have a bountiful harvest, you must first prepare the soil. When the soil is properly treated, small seeds can become vibrant plants and flowers. We don't prepare our minds properly, so we don't achieve financial security. Most of us don't know how to achieve it. This book can prepare anyone's mind, so that the seeds of financial security will take root and thrive. Poor investing is a predictable pattern. It is a fate we can avoid with effective education. Investors must have perspective, and develop long-term strategies that win. This book teaches all one must learn to achieve financial success. It makes simple recommendations which are supported by decades of measurable data. Motivation comes from understanding national finances and Social Security. Good investing results from learning investment fundamentals and putting them into practice. Proper strategy is developed by setting personal, numerical goals. The result is a tangible action plan that can be implemented and monitored with ease. When readers complete this book they will know how to achieve their financial goals. Investors will understand how much they must save, where to put those savings and how to invest their money.
