John Carpenter By Michelle Le Blanc, Colin Odell 2011 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 1842433385 | PDF | 2 MB From his hands-on filmmaking style to hiswriting and his composingan indispensable guide to the ultimate cult auteurOne of the most iconic directors of American cinema, John Carpenter has astonished audiences the world over with his tightly crafted horror, thriller, and science-fiction films. Not just a director, Carpenter's talents also extend to writing the screenplays and soundtracks to many of his films, and this guidecovers hiswork as a director, composer, writer, and producer. It examines Carpenter's influences and style and the films that have, in turn, been influenced by him. From the existential comedy classic Dark Star through to the terrifying smash hit Halloween, the taut siege of Assault on Precinct 13 to the visceral Vampires there's action and tension all around. But it's not all ghosts from The Fog or horrific mutations in The Thing, there's time for romance in the science-fiction road movie Starman and even for the King himself in the superior bio-pic Elvis: The Movie. John Carpenter's films are always memorable, distinctive, and unashamed of their genre roots.  Islam For Dummies by For Dummies English | September 11, 2019 | ISBN: 1119642973 | 400 pages | MOBI | 2.07 Mb From the Qur'an to Ramadan, this friendly guide introduces you to the origins, practices and beliefs of Islam  Irony and the Modern Theatre By William Storm 2011 | 266 Pages | ISBN: 1107007925 | PDF | 2 MB Irony and theater share intimate kinships, not only regarding dramatic conflict, dialectic, or wittiness, but also scenic structure and the verbal or situational ironies that typically mark theatrical speech and action. Yet irony today, in aesthetic, literary, and philosophical contexts especially, is often regarded with skepticism - as ungraspable, or elusive to the point of confounding. Countering this tendency, Storm advocates a wide-angle view of this master trope, exploring the ironic in major works by playwrights including Chekhov, Pirandello, and Brecht, and in notable relation to well-known representative characters in drama from Ibsen's Halvard Solness to Stoppard's Septimus Hodge and Wasserstein's Heidi Holland. To the degree that irony is existential, its presence in the theater relates directly to the circumstances and the expressiveness of the characters on stage. This study investigates how these key figures enact, embody, represent, and personify the ironic in myriad situations in the modern and contemporary theater.  Introduction to Pragmatics By Betty J.

Quinn, Sterling C. Keeley, Marianne D. Wallace, "Introduction to California Chaparral" English | 2006 | ISBN: 0520219732, 0520245660 | EPUB | pages: 344 | 16.1 mb The characteristic look of California Chaparral-a soft bluish-green blanket of vegetation gently covering the hills-is known to millions who have seen it as the backdrop in movies and television productions. This complex ecological community of plants and animals is not just a feature of the hills around Hollywood, but is a quintessential part of the entire California landscape. It is a highly resilient community adapted to life with recurring fires and droughts. Written for a wide audience, this concise, engaging, and beautifully illustrated book describes an ancient and exquisitely balanced environment home to wondrous organisms: Fire Beetles that mate only on burning branches, lizards that shoot blood from their eyes when threatened, Kangaroo Rats that never drink water, and seeds that germinate only after a fire, even if that means waiting in the soil for a 100 years or more. Useful both as a field guide and an introductory overview of the ecology of chaparral, it also provides a better understanding of how we might live in harmony, safety, and appreciation of this unique ecological community.  Interwar London after Dark in British Popular Culture English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030949370 | 211 Pages | PDF | 3 MB This book explores the representation of London's nightlife in popular films and newspapers of the interwar period. Through a series of case-studies, it analyses how British popular media in the 1920s and 1930s displayed the capital after dark. It argues that newspapers and films were part of a common culture, which capitalized on the transgressive possibilities of the night. At the same time both media ensured that those in authority, such as the police, were always shown to ultimately be in control of the night.  International Law By John O'Brien 2001 | 700 Pages | ISBN: 1859416306 | PDF | 4 MB First published in 2001. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.  Dhananjay Soindaji Wanjari, "Inheritance, Hierarchy and Caste: Origins of Political Decay in India" English | ISBN: 9354791999 | 2022 | 340 pages | PDF | 2 MB The growing power of business and the increasing rhetoric of the cultural-religious ideology of Hindutva have been the focus of the recent scholarly ventures seeking to explain the persistent undemocratic tendencies in India. The book argues that this traditional and pervasive analytical framework has failed to unravel the deep-rooted societal causes of the growing degeneration in political institutions. What is missed out is the increasing concentration of power in the hands of the hereditary governing class. Inheritance, Hierarchy and Caste: Origins of Political Decay in India shows how the elite-pursuit for controlling societal power, retaining hierarchy and perpetuating inheritance is making use of ideology and, thereby, undermining the democratic spirit in India and reshaping the state itself. The book underlines the realistic significance of the effective representation of the governed classes and analyses how it is critical for bringing pragmatism to the relation between the institutional and functional aspects of the democratic consolidation in India.  Priya Chacko, "Indian Foreign Policy: The Politics of Postcolonial Identity from 1947 to 2004 " English | ISBN: 041566568X | 2011 | 248 pages | PDF | 3 MB The rise of India as a major power has generated new interest in understanding the drivers of its foreign policy. This book argues that analysing India's foreign and security policies as representational practices which produce India's identity as a postcolonial nation-state helps to illuminate the conditions of possibility in which foreign policy is made.  Jane Monckton-Smith, "In Control: Dangerous Relationships and How They End in Murder" English | ISBN: 1526613212 | 2021 | pages | MOBI | 355 KB BLOWS ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS OUT OF THE WATER...A GAME-CHANGER. - Caitlin Moran |
