Adapting Spanish Classics for the New Millennium
The twenty-first-century's turn away from fidelity-based adaptations toward more innovative approaches has allowed adapters from Spain, Argentina, and the United States to draw upon Spain's rich body of nineteenth-century classics to address contemporary concerns about gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, celebrity, immigration, identity, social justice, and domestic violence. This book provides a snapshot of visual adaptations in the first two decades of the new millennium, examining how novelistic material from the past has been remediated for today's viewers through film, television, theater, opera, and the graphic novel.

The Christopher Lee Filmography
The career of Christopher Lee has stretched over half a century in every sort of film from comedy to horror and in such diverse roles as the Man With the Golden Gun, Frankenstein's monster, Fu Manchu and Sherlock Holmes. From Corridor of Mirrors in 1948 to Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones in 2002, this reference book covers 166 theatrical feature films: all production information, full cast and crew credits, a synopsis, and a critical analysis, with a detailed account of its making and commentary drawn from some thirty hours of interviews with Lee himself. Two appendices list Lee's television feature films and miniseries and his short films. The work concludes with an afterword by Christopher Lee himself. Photographs from the actor's private collection are included.

Comunicación electoral y formación de la opinión pública
Este libro analiza el proceso de formación de la opinión pública en una campaña electoral a la luz de las diversas estrategias discursivas de los principales diarios de referencia españoles en las Elecciones Generales del año 2000. Tras realizar una amplia revisión de las principales teorías de la opinión pública y de los efectos de los medios de comunicación de masas sobre el público, el análisis intenta determinar en qué medida los medios de comunicación son independientes del poder político en su narración de los principales acontecimientos de la campaña electoral para, a partir de ahí, preguntarnos de qué manera puede influir su decantación ideológica en el voto ciudadano.

The Films of the Nineties
The 1990s saw numerous actors break onto the scene in the movie industry and achieve great fame, while others received only little, if any, recognition. The 1990s also had blockbuster films that were not to be forgotten as well as bombs that were. This filmography, of course, has them all, good and bad. From Abilene to Zooman, over 3,000 feature-length English language films released between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 1999, are presented. Each entry has alternate titles, running time, detailed cast and production credits, a synopsis, often including critical comments, and Academy Award nominees and winners.
