A New Pot of Gold : Hollywood under the Electronic Rainbow, 1980-1989 (9780520232662)



Facing an economic crisis in the 1980s, the Hollywood industry moved boldly to control the ancillary markets of videotape, video disk, pay-cable and pay-per-view, and the major studios found themselves targeted for acquisition by global media and communications companies. This volume examines the decade's transformation that took Hollywood from the production of theatrical film to media software. Some of the films discussed in this volume include: "Platoon"; "Do the Right Thing"; "Blue Velvet"; "Diner"; "E.T."; "Batman"; and, "Body Heat".

La Europa Unio, Greklando Kaj La Europanoj : Diversaj Konceptoj Por La Estonteco (9782369600275)

Kial la greka ĉefministro Aleksis Cipras, post elektovenko en januaro 2015 kaj grandioza venko en la referendumo en julio 2015, en kiu la greka popolo kun granda plimulto rifuzis la "helpoprogramojn" (kromajn pruntojn, do ŝuldojn, kun drasta reduktado de la vivnivelo de la greka loĝantaro), nur kelkajn tagojn poste senkondiĉe kapitulacis? Ĉi tie troviĝas kelkaj respondoj al tiu demando, kaj ankau proponoj de principa alternativo, por Grekujo mem same kiel por aliaj landoj de la europa "periferio". Ŝajnas, ke la analizo de la greka situacio estas la plej bona okazo por analizi ankau tiun de la euro, de la Europa Unio kaj de ĝiaj membrolandoj. En tiu analizo de la detala greka kiel de la ĉioma europunia situacio la diversaj maldekstraj kaj eĉ komunistaj partioj de la sama regiono tute ne venas al sama rezulto, ili montras sin eĉ tute kontrauaj.

Epic LEGO Adventures with Bricks You Already Have (9781624143861)

Sarah Dees is back again with more fun and adventurous LEGO projects for kids, but this time with a fun twist. Each chapter features adventure scenes with characters and funny events; kids learn to build each element of the scene step by step, even the broken, smashed or destroyed things. For example, in the camping chapter, kids build an outdoor adventure scene gone wrong with a bear destroying a tent and eating all the food, while the family takes a joyride in a canoe that-oh no!-capsizes them into the lake! Kids build the broken canoe, the lake with splashes and the family floating downstream. Other adventure stories include dinosaur world where kids build life-like dinosaur characters and half-eaten buildings with a T-Rex chomping down on one. Kids can build a space scene with fearsome aliens and their awesome space blastergun that shoots, of all things, pizzas! Kids will be rolling on the floor in laughter as they build the parts and act out the scenes with their own LEGOs. ...
