Rogue Nation
Author: Peter Scowen
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 0771080050
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A friendly observer’s shocking discoveries On September 11, 2001, Peter Scowen’s sister escaped the 54th floor of the World Trade Center’s south tower barely moments before it collapsed. The shock left Scowen wondering why the twin towers were the terrorists’ target. What had innocent Americans done to warrant being blown to pieces? Or was the real question what had their government done in their name? To his horror, Scowen discovered that the answer to the second question was: plenty. Far from being a beacon of democracy, Scowen found that the USA has for fifty years or more connived to overthrow, even assassinate, popularly elected leaders, to launch wars and insurrections against democratic governments, and to police the world, not to promote democracy, but in its own short-term political and commercial interests. From its unnecessary annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945 to its not-so-secret war against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and its dramatic flipflop from being Iraq’s staunch supporter to its worst enemy, the USA has time and again left innocent civilians around the world in fear of its might and filled with loathing for its brutish ways. Even at home, the USA is no paragon of democracy and human rights, as Scowen’s look at the 2000 presidential election and at its incarceration records show. Scowen’s meticulously documented account of America’s covert and overt operations over the last fifty years will shred its readers’ illusions about the last remaining superpower’s benevolent role in world affairs.

Art of the Cut
Author: Steve Hullfish
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 104003649X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This is the second volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book published in 2017. This follow-up text expands on its predecessor with wisdom from more than 360 interviews with the world’s best editors (including nearly every Oscar winner from the last 30 years). Because editing is a highly subjective art form, and one that is critical to the success of motion picture storytelling, it requires side-by-side comparisons of the many techniques and solutions used by a wide range of editors from around the world. That is why this book compares and contrasts methodologies from a wide array of diverse voices and organizes that information so that it is easily digested and understood. There is no one way to approach editorial problems, so this book allows readers to see multiple solutions from multiple editors. The interviews contained within are carefully curated into topics that are most important to film editors and those who aspire to become film editors. The questions asked, and the organization of the book, are not merely an academic or theoretical view of the art of editing but rather the practical advice and methodologies of actual working film and TV editors, bringing benefits to both students and professional readers. The book is supplemented by a collection of downloadable online exclusive chapters, which cover additional topics ranging from Choosing the Project to VFX. In addition to the supplementary chapters, access to the full-color, full-resolution images printed in the book—and other exclusive images—is included.

The Rogue Narrative and Irish Fiction, 1660-1790
Author: Joe Lines
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815655193
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
With characteristic lawlessness and connection to the common man, the figure of the rogue commanded the world of Irish fiction from 1660 to 1790. During this period of development for the Irish novel, this archetypal figure appears over and over again. Early Irish fiction combined the picaresque genre, focusing on a cunning, witty trickster or pícaro, with the escapades of real and notorious criminals. On the one hand, such rogue tales exemplified the English stereotypes of an unruly Ireland, but on the other, they also personified Irish patriotism. Existing between the dual publishing spheres of London and Dublin, the rogue narrative explored the complexities of Anglo-Irish relations. In this volume, Lines investigates why writers during the long eighteenth-century so often turned to the rogue narrative to discuss Ireland. Alongside recognized works of Irish fiction, such as those by William Chaigneau, Richard Head, and Charles Johnston, Lines presents lesser-known and even anonymous popular texts. With consideration for themes of conflict, migration, religion, and gender, Lines offers up a compelling connection between the rogues themselves, marked by persistence and adaptability, and the ever-popular rogue narrative in this early period of Irish writing.
