The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Fordâ ™s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive (1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideonâ ™s Way and The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home. (1940).

The first biography of a great American composer of the cinema ageJohn Williams is one of the most important film composers of all time, having almost singlehandedly revived the Hollywood symphonic scoring tradition and helped restore the livelihood of American orchestras through the popularity of film music programming. His film music, in the words of director Oliver Stone, came to stand for the American culture. In John Williams: A Composer s Life, the first biography of the composer, author Tim Greiving offers an engaging account of a man whose body of work is well-known but whose personal life has consistently remained very private. Williams wrote the memorable scores and hummable themes for a staggering number of popular touchstones across multiple generations--among them Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler s List, and the Harry Potter series--and earned more Oscar nominations than any individual artist in the history of the motion picture Academy. He also composed dozens of concerti, fanfares, and other concert works and was a national presence as music director of the Boston Pops for more than a decade. He inspired countless children to pursue a career in the orchestra and won the respect of the classical community worldwide. Seeking to understand what drove Williams s musical productivity and its effects on the lives of those close to him, Greiving delves deeply into the composer s decades-long career, uncovering countless new stories and revelations. Throughout, he analyzes and describes Williams film scores, recalling them primarily in narrative and emotional terms rather than purely musicological ones, and in doing so emphasizes one of Williams s principle strengths: his musical storytelling.With unprecedented interview access to Williams and those close to him, Greiving presents the definitive portrait of a beloved but famously private doyen of twentieth-century pop culture. Featuring 175 exclusive interviews--including with Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, George Miller, Mia Farrow, Hans Zimmer, Yo-Yo Ma, session musicians, family members, and friends--John Williams: A Composer s Life is the first and last word on the great court composer of the cinema age, the musical conductor of our collective memory.

Když je svět v ohrožení a tajná služba paralyzovaná, vrací se na scénu Johnny English. Dokáže muž, pro kterého jsou zmatky, chyby a omyly základním pracovním nástrojem, obstát i v moderním světě? Abychom si rozuměli, Johnnyho Englishe (Rowan Atkinson), penzionovaného tajného agenta, který se na stará kolena stal učitelem, by do služeb vlasti za normálních okolností nepovolal ani ten největší šílenec. Jenže jistý geniální počítačový hacker odhalil identitu všech aktivních agentů britské tajné služby a premiérka (Emma Thompson) rázem připomíná pověstného tonoucího, který by se rád chytnul i stébla. Shodou jemu vlastních nešťastných náhod je Johnny English tím jediným, kdo svou zemi může právě teď zachránit. Co na tom, že si absolutně netyká s nejnovějšími technologickými hračkami. Jak sám říká: „Digitálního padoucha můžete dopadnout jedině s analogovým přístupem.“ English se navíc vydává do akce vybaven věrným asistentem Boughem (Ben Miller), který po něm obvykle uklízí následky jeho činů. První kroky obou mužů míří na Azurové pobřeží, kde se tajemný padouch vyskytoval naposledy. Zde se odehraje první kapitola souboje digitálního génia s analogovým blbcem, souboje, který zdaleka nemusí být tak jednostranný, jak se na první pohled zdá. Na straně Johnnyho Englishe jsou totiž nejen věrný Bough a Spravedlnost, ale i schopnost udělat vždy to nejhorší možné rozhodnutí a vyjít z takové situace bez ztráty kytičky.Rowan Atkinson je zn aacute;m yacute; t iacute;m, že si mezi jednotliv yacute;mi kapitolami sv yacute;ch filmov yacute;ch pokračov aacute;n iacute; r aacute;d dopř aacute;v aacute; delš iacute; pauzu.

Haywood s lucid explanations of the cultures of the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians are vital to understanding the motivations for their movements KIRKUS REVIEWS. The violent and predatory society of Dark Age Scandinavia left a unique impact on the history of medieval Europe. From their chill northern fastness, Norse warriors, explorers and merchants raided, traded, and settled across wide areas of Europe, Asia and the North Atlantic from the late 8th to the mid-11th century. Northmen narrates their story focusing on places where key events were played out, from the sack of Lindisfarne in 793 to the murder in Iceland in 1241 of the saga-writer Snorri Sturluson. Such episodes are fascinating in themselves, but also shed crucial light on the nature of Viking activity â “ its causes, effects, and the reasons for its decline. In 800 the Scandinavians were barbarians in longships bent on plunder and rapine; by 1200, their homelands were an integral part of Latin Christendom. John Haywood tells, in authoritative but compellingly readable fashion, the extraordinary story of the Viking Age.

The next sections provide translation and comprehension passages at AS and A-level, including verse unseens, scansion, and a list of 300 common poetic words. Next come longer unadapted extracts from a range of authors. Finally there is a reference section including a summary of all constructions, a comprehensive grammar, and a general vocabulary of about 1200 Latin words.

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription for examinations in 2026–28 of Tibullus I.2, I.5, II.4 and the the A-Level (Group 2) prescription for examinations in 2027–28 of Ovid s Metamorphoses VII and Lucretius de rerum natura I, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level.The three poets contained in this volume present a wide range of Latin verse from the end of the republic and the early empire. There is some challenging philosophical poetry on the world in which we live, explaining and exploring the atomic nature of matter and seeing the wonderful ways in which nature works, there is Ovid s wonderfully inventive and dramatic account of the sorceress Medea and her doomed love for the Argonaut Jason, and there are three poignant love-poems by the poet Tibullus. These three writers in their different ways manage to use Latin verse to convey a picture of the world which is both strange and familiar: Lucretius anticipates much of classical Physics, Ovid is the ancient world s magic realist before the term was coined, and Tibullus offers us a case-study in heartbreak which rings as true today as it did in ancient times.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2026-2028.

The renowned designer and style guru Ilse Crawford showcases her body of influential, holistic work for the first time, articulating her groundbreaking philosophies for design and living. Studioilse, the award-winning design studio founded by Ilse Crawford, bridges the worlds of interior design, architecture, and product design with the philosophy of putting the human being at the center. Fascinated by what drives us and makes us feel alive, Crawford says: When I look at making spaces, I don’t just look at the visual. I’m much more interested in the sensory thing, in thinking about it from the human context, the primal perspective, the thing that touches you. Featuring Studioilse’s work to date, from private residences to hotels, restaurants, and retail projects, this book illustrates the effectiveness of design grounded in human needs and desires. Layering materials and textures, combined with her understanding of human behavior, Crawford’s designs are sensual and accessible. A forerunner of the holistic design movement a decade ago, her humanistic approach has now become the norm. This volume illustrates why Crawford’s design philosophy is so seminal—her work has influenced not only a generation of Dutch and European designers, but also Americans due to her acclaimed Soho House New York. With new photography and essays by Crawford and design critic Edwin Heatcote, this inspirational volume is sure to be one of the most important design books of the year.

And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were ⠓ who made them, lived in them or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape.

A renowned climber and National Geographic photographer shares his incredible adventures—and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights.“An extraordinary memoir of mental illness that reads like a thriller.”—Amy Ellis Nutt, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Becoming Nicole“In order to escape madness, I will live madly. I will risk my life in order to save it.”Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness. Then, in the midst of a wildly successful career in adventure photography, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Richards to confront the trauma of his past, evaluate his own mental health, and learn to rewrite his story.The Color of Everything is a thrilling tale of risk and adventure, written by a man who has done it all: He’s stood at the top of the world, climbed imposing mountain faces alone in the dark, and become the only American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. But it is also the story of a tumultuous life—a stirring, lyrical memoir that captures the profound musings of an unquiet mind grappling with the meaning of success, the cost of fame and addiction, and whether it is possible to outrun your demons. With exquisite prose and disarming candor, accompanied by stunning photos from his career, Richards excavates the roots of his trauma and shares what it took for him to climb out of it.

The second volume of Robert Crawford s magisterial biography of the revolutionary modernist, visionary poet and troubled man, drawing on extensive new sources.In this compelling and meticulous portrait of the twentieth century s most important poet, Robert Crawford completes the story he began in Young Eliot. Drawing on extensive new sources and letters, this is the first full-scale biography to make use of Eliot s most significant surviving correspondence, including the archive of letters (unsealed for the first time in 2020) detailing his decades-long love affair with Emily Hale.This long-awaited second volume, Eliot After The Waste Land , tells the story of the mature Eliot, his years as a world-renowned writer and intellectual, and his troubled interior life.From his time as an exhausted bank employee after the publication of The Waste Land, through the emotional turmoil of the 1920s and 1930s, and his years as a firewatcher in bombed wartime London, Crawford reveals the public and personal experiences that helped generate some of Eliot s masterpieces.He explores the poet s religious conversion, his editorship at Faber and Faber, his separation from Vivien Haigh-Wood and happy second marriage to Valerie Fletcher, and his great work Four Quartets.Robert Crawford presents this complex and remarkable man not as a literary monument but as a human being: as a husband, lover and widower, as a banker, editor, playwright and publisher, but most of all as an epoch-shaping poet struggling to make art among personal disasters.

An entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics from Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had. Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The book is a lesson in just that – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain.From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.

SHORTLISTED FOR SCOTLAND S NATIONAL NON-FICTION BOOK AWARD 2023Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in human history. In this book James Crawford argues that our enduring obsession with borders has brought us to a crisis point: that we are entering the endgame of a process that began thousands of years ago, when we first started dividing up the earth.Beginning with the earliest known marker which denoted the end of one land and the beginning of the next, Crawford follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future - towards the virtual frontiers of the internet, and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate change. In the process, he travels to many borders old and new: from a melting border high in the glacial landscapes of the Austrian-Italian Alps to the only place on land where Europe and Africa meet; from the artist Banksy s Walled Off Hotel in the conflict-torn West Bank to the Sonoran Desert and the fault lines of the US/Mexico border.Combining history, travel and reportage, The Edge of the Plain explores how borders have grown and evolved to take control of our landscapes, our memories, our identities and our destinies. As nationalism, climate change, globalisation, technology and mass migration all collide with ever-hardening borders, something has to give. And Crawford asks, is it time to let go of the lines that divide us?

In 1536, only fifteen years after the fall of the Aztec empire, Franciscan missionaries began teaching Latin, classical rhetoric, and Aristotelian philosophy to native youths in central Mexico. The remarkable linguistic and cultural exchanges that would result from that initiative are the subject of this book. Aztec Latin highlights the importance of Renaissance humanist education for early colonial indigenous history, showing how practices central to humanism â ” the cultivation of eloquence, the training of leaders, scholarly translation, and antiquarian research â ” were transformed in New Spain to serve Indian elites as well as the Spanish authorities and religious orders. While Franciscan friars, inspired by Erasmus ideal of a common tongue, applied principles of Latin grammar to Amerindian languages, native scholars translated the Gospels, a range of devotional literature, and even Aesop s fables into the Mexican language of Nahuatl. They also produced significant new writings in Latin and Nahuatl, adorning accounts of their ancestral past with parallels from Greek and Roman history and importing themes from classical and Christian sources to interpret pre-Hispanic customs and beliefs. Aztec Latin reveals the full extent to which the first Mexican authors mastered and made use of European learning and provides a timely reassessment of what those indigenous authors really achieved.

Everyone has biases, yet most people are unable to discuss them openly without feelings of shame, stigma and defensiveness. Although perceived as flaws or a question of one’s character, these biases should be viewed as socially constructed coping mechanisms shaped by trauma, stress and the need to survive. Only when redefined will we be able to have honest conversations about, and reductions in, bias, race and prejudice.Dana Crawford’s Crawford Bias Reduction Theory Training (CBRT) invites readers on a transformative journey to understand, research and reduce bias at the internal, relational and systemic levels. Her three-pronged approach starts with the awareness phase which focuses on self-reflection and group interaction through empathy, compassion and accountability. The investigation phase will help readers recognise and dissect bias within themselves, with others and in society.Lastly, the reduction phase further develops skills to confront and mitigate bias with exercises like role-play and real-play scenarios. With reflection prompts, personal stories, actionable advice and examples inspired by actual events, Healing Bias translates complex ideas into relatable, empowering solutions that can be used on your own or in group settings. This guide can be used with the Racial Awareness Conversations for Everyone (R.A. C. E.) card deck to enhance self-reflection and group discussion with questions based on the CBRT model.

Part 4 takes students into more advanced areas of composition. Continuous passages are included from an early stage alongside stand-alone sentences. Leigh gives clear guidance on the characteristic features of Latin prose, such as word order and subordination, as well as more advanced grammatical complexities. At the back of the book, lists of vocabulary and accidence provide reference and revision tools for students at all levels.Working through the book the rewards of learning to write Latin are clear: not merely a challenge to be overcome, prose composition gives a heightened appreciation of how Latin authors used the language to express themselves in their own particular styles.
