Pages : 393
Book Description
A MISSING ARCHAEOLOGIST... A RACE AGAINST TIME... AND ONE VERY FAMOUS LOST SHIP Welcome to Mount Ararat, legendary resting spot of Noah's Ark... and the setting for J.R. Rain's wildest, boldest adventure yet! In a lonely bar in eastern Turkey, ex-National Geographic photojournalist Sam Ward is hired to find an eccentric professor who disappeared high atop Mount Ararat, fabled resting spot of Noah's Ark. Accompanied by the professor's beautiful daughter, archaeologist Faye Roberts, Sam soon stumbles upon a secret stronghold--a base of operation for unleashing hell on earth. Now running for their lives, Sam and company are about to come face-to-face with the greatest archaeological discovery of all time.... For fans of Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Indiana Jones. The #1 bestseller in half a dozen categories on Amazon, including Action/Adventure, Romance Adventure, Military Fiction, Suspense, Men's Adventure, Travel Adventure Fiction, and Historical Mystery. The Lost Ark is a standalone novel with over 100,000 copies sold. "Gripping, adventurous, and romantic--J.R. Rain's The Lost Ark is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current-day headlines. Be prepared to lose sleep!"--James Rollins, international bestselling author of the "Sigma Force" series ★★★★★ "J.R. Rain weaves a tapestry of interesting, believable characters with a dynamite plot. You will root for the heroes, want to cry a bit in the ending chapters. This book makes you wonder, what if the ark really was found in this day in age. What would society believe as a whole after a find like that was authenticated? The Lost Ark has a lot of action for those of us that like that genre and plenty of mystery." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "I have personally been in the Land of Noah and have been mesmerized by the beauty and mystery of Mount Ararat. My adventure was calm and rather spiritual. J. R. Rain's The Lost Ark is far from calm. It is a thrill ride from the first few pages! And spiritual..... while that interpretation will be left up to the reader. Reads like an Indiana Jones story. I read it in two sittings." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark was riveting, you were rooting for Sam and Faye to survive while searching for her father and the lost ark. An excellent adventure story that I truly hope to see in a movie someday!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark by J.R. Rain is an excellent read! I love a book full of action and adventure and a great hero and heroine. This book has it all and the best of villains! The finding of the ark was exciting and on the edge of my seat the pages just seem to turn themselves. I couldn't wait to get closer to the ending of this book that is full of intrigue. Of course when I did, I was sad it was over. I love J.R. Rain books and can't wait to read more of them. I highly recommend The Lost Ark and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark is jam-packed with adventure, action, and a little romance thrown in for good measure. The main character, Sam Ward, is a typical J R Rain tough guy with an off beat sense of humor. I would LOVE to see a movie made from this book." ―Amazon reviewer

Second Takes
Author: Andrew Repasky McElhinney
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078647761X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Second Takes presents the history of English language cinema by focusing on cinematic remakes and on how cinema has been replaced by new forms of "media." Remakes, with their innate plurality, offer the most substance for concentrated cultural analysis of how movies reflect and shape American culture. Analyzing the archetypes that recur in this culture reveals how movies are an increasingly dangerous surrogate for the actual. Close readings are presented of such works as popular favorites as Cronenberg's Crash, Disney's The Parent Trap, Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, Hitchcock's Psycho, Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, Lynch's Twin Peaks (the film) and Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons, while unearthing pictures ripe for rediscovery such as One More Tomorrow, Strange Illusion and Andy Warhol's Vinyl. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Pages : 513
Book Description
For nearly two decades, Television: Critical Methods and Applications has served as the foremost guide to television studies. Designed for the television studies course in communication and media studies curricula, Television explains in depth how television programs and commercials are made and how they function as producers of meaning. Author Jeremy G. Butler shows the ways in which camera style, lighting, set design, editing, and sound combine to produce meanings that viewers take away from their television experience. He supplies students with a whole toolbox of implements to disassemble television and read between the lines, teaching them to incorporate critical thinking into their own television viewing. The fourth edition builds upon the pedagogy of previous editions to best accommodate current modes of understanding and teaching television. Highlights of the fourth edition include: New chapter and part organization to reflect the current approach to teaching television—with greatly expanded methods and theories chapters. An entirely new chapter on modes of production and their impact on what you see on the screen. Discussions integrated throughout on the latest developments in television’s on-going convergence with other media, such as material on transmedia storytelling and YouTube’s impact on video distribution. Over three hundred printed illustrations, including new and better quality frame grabs of recent television shows and commercials. A companion website featuring color frame grabs, a glossary, flash cards, and editing and sound exercises for students, as well as PowerPoint presentations, sample syllabi and other materials for instructors. Links to online videos that support examples in the text are also provided. With its distinctive approach to examining television, Television is appropriate for courses in television studies, media criticism, and general critical studies.
