A priceless examination of the filmmaker's craft, from the renowned director of "Sweet Smell of Success" After more than twenty years in the film industry as a screenwriter, storyboard editor, and director of memorable films such as "The Ladykillers," Alexander Mackendrick turned his back on Hollywood and began a new career as the Dean of one of the country's most demanding and influential film schools.

Invisible Hands
Author: Corinne
Publisher: McSweeney's
ISBN: 1940450357
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
The men and women in Invisible Hands reveal the human rights abuses occurring behind the scenes of the global economy. These narrators — including phone manufacturers in China, copper miners in Zambia, garment workers in Bangladesh, and farmers around the world — reveal the secret history of the things we buy, including lives and communities devastated by low wages, environmental degradation, and political repression. Sweeping in scope and rich in detail, these stories capture the interconnectivity of all people struggling to support themselves and their families. Narrators include Kalpona, a leading Bangladeshi labor organizer who led her first strike at 15; Han, who, as a teenager, began assembling circuit boards for an international electronics company based in Seoul; Albert, a copper miner in Zambia who, during a wage protest, was shot by representatives of the Chinese-owned mining company that he worked for; and Sanjay, who grew up in the shadow of the Bhopal chemical disaster, one of the worst industrial accidents in history.

Invisible Witnesses
Author: Wayne Sheridan
Publisher: Jeremiah 30:2 Publications
ISBN: 1944187022
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
An attractive female student is found dead in the darkened gloom beneath an overpass . . . The DA moves quickly to pin the brutal slaying—a “mugging gone wrong”—on a homeless man known to frequent the area. As Detective “Gunny” Hawkins of the Bristol Police investigates the seemingly impressive evidence and facts of the case, he grows less and less sure that the DA has the right man . . . and certain that something far more insidious is going on than a mugging. It becomes clear to Hawkins that a murderer is on the loose in Bristol . . . one willing to kill again to cover his tracks, if necessary. In a race against time, Gunny works tirelessly to find the killer before he strikes again. For him, it is more than merely a fight for justice, but a battle at every turn with the political ambitions of the DA, his own superiors, and the court of public opinion that has already judged and convicted the incarcerated suspect. Will Gunny find the truth and bring the killer to justice in time? Will the killer prove to be too elusive and send an innocent man to prison? Will key players in this riveting crime drama overcome their past traumas, losses, alcohol and drug addiction, and other personal challenges to play their part in solving the case? Will the homeless community in Bristol help or hinder authorities in getting to the truth? Find out in Invisible Witnesses! Wayne Sheridan is a writer who draws from his years of experience in church leadership and service to challenge and encourage Christians to live in God’s truth, purpose, and power. His growth experiences include four years in the military during the Vietnam War, twenty years in hospital administration, six years in small business ownership, and fifteen years of directing a homeless mission in Bristol, Tennessee.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Do you ever imagine being invisible? What if you could go around and peek at your love without being seen? Imagine licking from auntie's ice cream or munching at the candy shop with no one able to see you. This book invites you to play with a boy who is a master in the art of being invisible. Join him as he indulges this special talent--and witness his transformation when he tires of not being seen. "Better than being invisible is to imagine the invisible."Alcides Villaça wrote this playful poem as an ode to his favorite childhood superpower, invisibility. The illustrator and designer, Andrés Sandoval, explored the relationship between the visible and the invisible: colors, transparencies, and opacities are combined in such a way that every turn of the page hides--and reveals--a surprise.

The essays in this volume revalue the work of the Romantic-era Scottish writer John Galt, connecting his methods and goals with Scottish Enlightenment "conjectural" historiography and with later social theorizing. Emphasizing the construction, representation and use of social knowledge, the essays find new meaning in Galt's perceptions of the Atlantic and Mediterranean worlds in which he traveled, his attitudes toward community building and progress, and his innovations in fiction, drama, journalism and biography.
