The exceptionally clear style and presentation ensures that the book will be useful and enjoyable to those studying and interested in the notion of mathematical "proof."  100 Perceptual Puzzles by Pierre Berloquin English | January 1, 1995 | ISBN: 1566196736 | 203 pages | PDF | 10 Mb 100 Perceptual Puzzles  (Re)Articulating Writing Assessment By Brian Huot 2002 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 0874214491 | PDF | 1 MB This book does exactly what the title says...it Rearticulates Writing Assessment.

Inspired by their home turf of Liège-Seraing, a former industrial hub of French-speaking southern Belgium, they have crafted a series of fiction films that blends acute observation of life on the social margins with moral fables for the postmodern age. This volume analyses the brothers' career from their leftist video documentaries of the 1970s and 1980s through their debut as directors of fiction films in the late 1980s and early 1990s to their six major achievements from The Promise (1996) to The Kid with a Bike (2011), an oeuvre that includes two Golden Palms at the Cannes film festival, for Rosetta (1999) and The Child (2005). It argues that the ethical dimension of the Dardennes' work complements rather than precludes their sustained expression of a fundamental political sensibility.  The Cinema of Wes Anderson: Bringing Nostalgia to Life (Directors' Cuts) by Whitney Crothers Dilley English | August 8, 2017 | ISBN: 0231180691 | EPUB | 224 pages | 2 MB Wes Anderson is considered one of the most important directors of the post-Baby Boom generation, making films such as Rushmore (1998) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) in a style so distinctive that his films are often recognizable from a single frame. Through the travelogue The Darjeeling Limited (2007) and the stop-motion animation of Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), his films examine issues of gender, race, and class through dysfunctional family dynamics, with particular focus on masculinity and male bonding. Anderson's auteur status is enriched by his fascination with Truffaut and the French New Wave, as well as his authorship of every one of his screenplays, drawing on influences as diverse as Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, Roald Dahl, and Stefan Zweig. Works such as Moonrise Kingdom (2012) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) continue to fascinate with their postmodern, hyper-nostalgic attention to detail.  The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom: Borders, Intimacy, Terror (Directors' Cuts) by Bruce Bennett English | November 26, 2013 | ISBN: 0231167369 | EPUB | 224 pages | 22.3 MB This comprehensive study of prolific British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom explores the thematic, stylistic, and intellectual consistencies running through his eclectic and controversial body of work. This volume undertakes a close analysis of a TV series directed by Winterbottom and sixteen of his films ranging from television dramas to transnational co-productions featuring Hollywood stars, and from documentaries to costume films. The critique is centered on Winterbottom's collaborative working practices, political and cultural contexts, and critical reception. Arguing that his work delineates a 'cinema of borders', this study examines Winterbottom's treatment of sexuality, class, ethnicity, and national and international politics, as well as his quest to adequately narrate inequality, injustice, and violence.  The Cinema of Clint Eastwood: Chronicles of America (Directors' Cuts) by David Sterritt English | November 25, 2014 | ISBN: 023117201X | EPUB | 240 pages | 17.5 MB He became a movie star playing The Man With No Name, and today his name is known around the world. Measured by longevity, productivity, and profits, Clint Eastwood is the most successful actor-director-producer in American film history.  The Cinema of Aki Kaurismäki: Contrarian Stories (Directors' Cuts) by Andrew Nestingen English | June 25, 2013 | ISBN: 0231165595, 0231165587 | EPUB | 174 pages | 7.7 MB Aki Kaurismäki is an enigma, an eminent auteur who claims his films are a joke. Since 1983, Kaurismäki has produced classically-styled films filled with cinephilic references to film history. He has earned an international art-house audience and many prizes, influencing such directors as Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, and Wes Anderson. Yet Kaurismäki is often depicted as the loneliest, most nostalgic of Finns (except when he promotes his films, makes political statements, and runs his many businesses). He is also depicted as a bohemian known for outlandish actions and statements. |
