Spinegrinder
First came video and more recently high definition home entertainment, through to the internet with its streaming videos and not strictly legal peer-to-peer capabilities. With so many sources available, today’s fan of horror and exploitation movies isn’t necessarily educated on paths well-trodden — Universal classics, 1950s monster movies, Hammer — as once they were. They may not even be born and bred on DAWN OF THE DEAD. In fact, anyone with a bit of technical savvy (quickly becoming second nature for the born-clicking generation) may be viewing MYSTICS IN BALI and S.S. EXPERIMENT CAMP long before ever hearing of Bela Lugosi or watching a movie directed by Dario Argento. In this world, H.G. Lewis, so-called “godfather of gore,” carries the same stripes as Alfred Hitchcock, “master of suspense.” SPINEGRINDER is one man’s ambitious, exhaustive and utterly obsessive attempt to make sense of over a century of exploitation and cult cinema, of a sort that most critics won’t care to write about. One opinion; 8,000 reviews (or thereabouts.
The Casablanca Man
Michael Curtiz (1888-1962) was without doubt one of the most important directors in film history, yet he has never been granted his deserved recognition and no full-scale work on him has previously been published. The Casablanca Man surveys Curtiz' unequalled mastery over a variety of genres which included biography, comedy, horror, melodrama, musicals, swashbucklers and westerns, and looks at his relationship with the Hollywood studio moguls on the basis of unprecedented archive research at Warner Brothers. Concentrating on Curtiz' best-known films - Casablanca, Angels With Dirty Faces, Mildred Pearce and Captain Blood among them - Robertson explores Curtiz' practical creative struggles and his friendships and rivalries with other film celebrities including Errol Flynn, Bette Davis and James Cagney, and his discovery of future stars. Casablanca Man is the first comprehensive critical exploration of Curtiz' entire career and, linking his European work and his subsequent American work into a coherent whole, Robertson firmly re-establishes Curtiz' true standing in the history of cinema.

Lend Me Your Ears
Caligula, William Shakespeare, Crazy Horse, and 1,500 other commentators from ancient Greek philosophers to Sarah Palin trade remarks profound, caustic, trenchant, and humorous in this entertaining omnibus. Lend Me Your Ears has a British tinge, but American pols are well represented. Middle and Far Eastern sources are sparsely included. Jay, coauthor of the BBC radio and television series Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, presents an eclectic assortment of bons mots alphabetically by author. Featuring some 300 quotations new to this edition, the book has an excellent keyword index. Jay's voracious pursuit of sources and discretion in selection are the linchpins that make this a valuable ...
Frontier Of Physics In Fusion-relevent Plasmas, The: Proceedings Of The Asian Science Seminar
This volume discusses the aspects of the physics of fusion-relevant plasmas even the relevant aspects of basic plasma physics. It also includes experimental measurements illustrating a great deal of theoretical analysis. It is intended for graduate students in plasma physics, and is also suitable for fusion researchers.
Building Physics
The book presents the theoretical background of building physics, dealing with the evaluation of physical phenomena related to heat transfer and energy use in buildings, water and water vapour transfer in building structures, daylighting and electric lighting of buildings, sound transmission in building structures and protection against noise, the occurrence and spread of fires in buildings and the thermal response of cities. It contains numerical and computational evaluation methods, numerous computational case studies and examples of experimental analyses. The book demonstrates that the considered physical processes affect the quality of living and working comfort in indoor and outdoor environment.

Proces
Franz Kafka (ur. 3 lipca 1883 w Pradze, zm. 3 czerwca 1924 w Kierling) - niemieckojezyczny pisarz pochodzenia zydowskiego, przez cale zycie zwiazany z Praga. W swoich powiesciach stworzyl model sytuacji zwanej sytuacja kafkowska i okreslanej w jezyku niemieckim za pomoca przymiotnika "kafkaesk", ktorego istota jest konflikt zniewolonej jednostki z anonimowa, nadrzedna wobec niej instancja. Deformacja groteskowa, niejednoznaczne, paraboliczne obrazy oraz poczucie zagrozenia i niepewnosci skladaja sie na panorame literackiego swiata Kafki.
Miraż
Historia Polski minionego stulecia opowiedziana przez pryzmat migawkowych historii poszczególnych bohaterów. Jest tu księgowy z okresu kryzysu ekonomicznego lat 30., są ludzie, którzy szukają enklawy normalności w mieście okupowanym przez hitlerowców, są niepokoje komunizmu, ułuda socrealizmu, a wreszcie wzajemna podejrzliwość i zakłamywanie własnej przeszłości w wolnej Polsce. Wszystkie te opowieści spina tytułowy "Miraż" - kino, w którym granica między rzeczywistością a fikcyjnością wyświetlanych filmów wyraźnie się rozmyła. Pełna napięcia lektura dla miłośników historii alternatywnych konstruowanych przez Jacka Dukaja czy Andrzeja Pilipiuka. Zbigniew Wo...
