Book Description
Quicklets: Learn More. Read Less. Christopher Nolan wrote, directed, and produced Inception. He also wrote and directed such notable films as The Dark Knight (2008), The Prestige (2006), Batman Begins (2005; directed only), and Memento (2000). Nolan began making films on super 8mm at age 7, and later on 16mm with his college film society at University College of London, while he studied English Literature. He's been nominated for 3 Oscars and won numerous awards for his direction and screenwriting, particularly for The Dark Knight, Memento, and Inception. He's known for putting substantial focus on the psychology of his main characters, using non-linear plot lines, and leaving open the final outcome of the story. These are all demonstrated in Inception. Inception opened in the United States on July 16, 2010, and in 70 countries by the end of the year. It grossed $292.6 million at the box office, won a total of 75 awards and 102 nominations, including 4 Oscar wins (Best Achievement in Cinematography; Best Achievement in Sound Editing; Best Achievement in Sound Mixing; and Best Achievement in Visual Effects) and nominations (Best Achievement in Art Direction; Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score; Best Motion Picture of the Year; and Best Writing, Original Screenplay).

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 689
Book Description
“The Hollywood memoir that tells all . . . Sex. Drugs. Greed. Why, it sounds just like a movie.”—The New York Times Every memoir claims to bare it all, but Julia Phillips’s actually does. This is an addictive, gloves-off exposé from the producer of the classic films The Sting, Taxi Driver, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind—and the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Best Picture—who made her name in Hollywood during the halcyon seventies and the yuppie-infested eighties and lived to tell the tale. Wickedly funny and surprisingly moving, You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again takes you on a trip through the dream-manufacturing capital of the world and into the vortex of drug addiction and rehab on the arm of one who saw it all, did it all, and took her leave. Praise for You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again “One of the most honest books ever written about one of the most dishonest towns ever created.”—The Boston Globe “Gossip too hot for even the National Enquirer . . . Julia Phillips is not so much Hollywood’s Boswell as its Dante.”—Los Angeles Magazine “A blistering look at La La Land.”—USA Today “One of the nastiest, tastiest tell-alls in showbiz history.”—People

"The Creation is a timely book about the survival of life on this planet, which E. O. Wilson demonstrates is more endangered than ever before. Drawing on his own personal experiences as a world-leading biologist, he prophesies that at least half the species of plants and animals on Earth could either be gone or fated for early extinction by the end of our present century.

Collective Memory Work
Author: Corey W. Johnson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315298694
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The seemingly mundane events of daily life create a complex knowledge base of lived experience to be explored. But how does one research common experiences and account for context, culture, and identity? A dilemma arises because experience is not just embedded in events, but also in the socially constructed meanings associated with those events. This book details the philosophical underpinnings, design features and implementation strategies of Collective Memory Work – a methodology frequently employed by social justice activists/scholars. Collective Memory Work can provide scholars with unique and nuanced ways to solve problems for and with their participants. Most importantly, the chapters also detail projects and social justice in action, analysing their participants’ real stories and experiences: projects that focus on LGBTQ youth, #blacklivesmatter activists, white faculty working at historically Black colleges and universities, men’s media consumption and much more. Written in an engaging and accessible style, readers will come to understand the potential of their own qualitative research using Collective Memory Work.
