Popular Music On Screen
Popular Music on Screen examines the relationship between popular music and the screen, from the origins of the Hollywood musical to contemporary developments in music television and video. Through detailed examination of films, television programs and popular music, together with analysis of the economic, technological and cultural determinants of their production and consumption, the book argues that popular music has been increasingly influenced by its visual economy. Though engaging with the debates that surround postmodernism, the book suggests that what most characterizes the relationship between popular music and the screen is a strong sense of continuity, expressed through institutional structures, representational strategies and the ideology of "entertainment."
Sundays with Mundy
Here, we are gifted a book that contains the truth of A Course in Miracles (the Course) presented in short and sweet epistles. What Jon Mundy so eloquently presents to us is a selection of weekly inspirational messages he shares in his "Sunday With Mundy" epistles that he has presented to a wide community of listeners each week over the years. Jon's words are chosen carefully from a heart of love and bless us with the grace of God through the lens of his own experiences and wisdom, gained from a lifetime of service to humanity.Through near 20 years of study of the Course, I have found that it is still fresh with insights, inspirations, and profound realizations. A single sentence can grip your mind with its depth and meaning. This book is a collection of those profound moments. Each epistle stands alone in its profundity. If you savor them, and let the thoughts simmer in your mind, you will find your inner world opening to Love's peace and God's grace. As you read each epistle you will feel you are given a gift of one of those moments.
Laughing Matters
Laughing Matters takes an analytic approach to film, television and radio comedy and provides an accessible overview of its forms and contexts. The introduction explains the value of studying comedy, concisely outlines the approach taken and summarises the relevant theories. The subsequent chapters are divided into two parts. The first part examines the specific forms comedy has taken as a constant and key element in film and broadcast comedy from their origins to the present. The second part shows how the genre gravitates towards contentious issues in British and American culture as it finds humour in the boundaries of class, gender, sexuality, race and logic. The authors cover silent cinem...
The British Musical Film
The British Musical Film is the first book to examine this neglected area of British cinema as it developed from the early so-called 'silent' period to the present.

Living A Course in Miracles
Discover the central tenets of the ACIM movement—and how they can work miracles in your life—with this essential guide to the classic spiritual text. In 1976, a mysterious “Inner Voice” called out to Helen Schucman, dictating a system of belief that ultimately became A Course in Miracles. This book, totaling 1,333 pages, went on to sell more than two million copies around the world. Its lessons are meant to be digested one at a time; those who study ACIM do so over years, often struggling to progress through its resonant but difficult-to-comprehend truths. Jon Mundy—who knew the Courses founders and the text from the very beginning—is the ideal guide to the book’s central tenets. Using passages from ACIM, Mundy illuminates its teachings on such subjects as the self, forgiveness, desire, health, money, addiction, and the afterlife. Through his lively storytelling and in-depth knowledge of the Course, readers gain wisdom that might otherwise have taken them a lifetime to grasp.
Europe in the High Middle Ages, 1150-1300
A revised and updated new edition of Professor Mundy's lively introduction to Europe 1150xxx;1300. It provides a portrait of the social, economic, political and intellectual life of Latin Christendom in the period. Wherever possible the men and women of the high middle ages are allowed to speak for themselves as Professor Mundy makes wide use of contemporary sources xxx; bringing alive the complexities and concerns of people living in medieval times. Another strength of the book is the attention devoted to groups often marginalised in other histories; looking at the experience of women, for instance, and that of the Jews in a predominantly Christian society.
