Agency and Imagination in the Films of David Lynch
Agency and Imagination in the Films of David Lynch: Philosophical Perspectives offers a sustained philosophical interpretation of the filmmaker’s work in light of classic and contemporary discussions of human agency and the complex relations between our capacity to act and our ability to imagine. With the help of the pathological characters that so often leave their unforgettable mark on Lynch’s films, this book reveals several important ways in which human beings fail to achieve fuller embodiments of agency or seek substitute satisfactions in spaces of fantasy. In keeping with Lynch’s penchant for unconventional narrative techniques, James D. Reid and Candace R. Craig explore the poss...

A Classroom Guide to to Kill a Mockingbird
There are plenty of cheaper Mockingbird guides out there; so why choose this one? (1) It's substantial, with more than 250 pages filled with all of the features that make Craig's guides thorough, practical, and insightful: chapter summaries, commentary, and ready-to-copy exploratory questions, quizzes, tests, vocabulary, literary activities, projects and writing ideas, research, and much more. (2) It contains a play adaptation of the trial scenes, with intervening critical thinking questions students can use to lead the class in presentations and interpretive discussions. (3) It was published in August of 2015, and that means it includes activities that incorporate Lee's second novel, Go Set a Watchman, and recent events across the United States, from Ferguson, Missouri to Charleston, South Carolina and New York City. With Craig's guide, teachers will have even more reason to taut Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel for being as relevant today as it was in the years immediately following its publication in 1960.
David Lynch
Director David Lynch is best known for films that channel the uncanny and the weird into a distinct "Lynchian" aesthetic, in which sound and music play a key role: Lynch not only writes his intended sounds into the script but also often takes on the role of creating the sounds himself. This concise study explores what makes Lynch’s sonic imprint distinct, breaking down three different sound styles that create Lynch’s sound aesthetic across his films. Showing how sound offers new insights into the aesthetic and narrative work of Lynch’s filmmaking, this book highlights new dimensions in the work of a key American auteur and deconstructs the process of building a unique sound world.
