Scoring the Screen
(Music Pro Guides). Today, musical composition for films is more popular than ever. In professional and academic spheres, media music study and practice are growing; undergraduate and postgraduate programs in media scoring are offered by dozens of major colleges and universities. And increasingly, pop and contemporary classical composers are expanding their reach into cinema and other forms of screen entertainment. Yet a search on Amazon reveals at least 50 titles under the category of film music, and, remarkably, only a meager few actually allow readers to see the music itself, while none of them examine landmark scores like Vertigo , To Kill a Mockingbird , Patton , The Untouchables , or T...
One in a Million
Compelling, entertaining and refreshingly honest, One in a Million is the autobiography of Trevor Francis, the subject of the first £1 million transfer fee in football history - a record for all time. As a 16-year-old, Francis set a record as the youngest player to score four goals in a match, an early indication of an exceptional talent. And so his unique career journey would continue to unfold, encountering a seemingly endless succession of superlatives, larger-than-life characters and astonishing events. Trevor played professionally not only in England but also in the USA and Scotland, in Italy and Australia. He gained 52 England caps, and won the European Cup on his debut in the competition. He played his part in the English revolution at Glasgow Rangers and managed QPR, Crystal Palace, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City. Thrillingly, Trevor takes the reader with him into dressing rooms, into boardrooms and on to the field of play. He has a true gift for memorable detail, providing a wealth of revelations and remarkable stories.
The Sociology of Belief (Routledge Revivals)
First published in 1980, this book presents a study of knowledge and the patterns of social and scientific thought. Keith Dixon argues that traditional and contemporary formulations of the sociology of knowledge involve a series of fallacies, and the claim to reduce knowledge to ideology devalues the role of reasoned inquiry. Chapters discuss such areas as the theories of Marx and Mannheim, the sociology of science and of religious belief. With a detailed conclusion analysing the foundations and limits of the sociology of knowledge, this reissue will provide an interesting and useful analysis for students of Sociology.
The Atom
This book [Colour Images] provides a detailed mathematical description of the real atom, its only two particles (the proton and the electron), the creation of the neutron, electro-magnetic radiation and how it all works together. It includes all the formulas necessary to calculate their properties in a format that anybody with a basic knowledge of mathematics can understand.
This is how You Fall
Jacob Cameron Asprey, Jr., is the charming son of a charming crook who's currently residing in the state pen. Strangled by family ties, Jake is barely scraping by, working as a lifeguard at the tony country club on the other side of town. He's marking time, treading water, haunted by Sally Godstreet, the woman he's loved all his life--the woman he should have made a life with, now orbiting just out his reach. When a local crime boss offers him a deal he'd be a fool to take and a chump to pass up, Jake sees a way out of his troubles--until his options begin to close down, and he finds himself at the heart of a dark plot that will place those he loves in harm's way. This is How You Fall is a story of old flames, old debts, and a new twist on an old con. Part-heist, part-love story, and part-literary noir thriller, it's a moody rumination on identity and loyalty, with dazzing plot twists that lead to an inevitable, destructive conclusion.
