When Daniel Boone heard a neighbor's dog bark, he moved West. But
when there's no Wild West left, where is adventure to be found?
Michael Aaron Rockland looks for adventure in the megalopolis, "not
where no one has been but where no one wishes to go . . . across
traffic-clogged cities, the parking lots of wall-to-wall suburban
malls, and the sinister waterways that seep through rusting
industrial sites." In these ten alternately poetic and comic tales
of adventure in the New York/Philadelphia corridor, the most
densely populated chunk of America, Rockland walks and bikes areas
meant only for cars and paddles through waters capable of
dissolving canoes. He hikes the length of New York's Broadway,
camps in New York City, treks across Philadelphia, pedals among the
tractor trailers of Route 1 in New Jersey, and paddles around
Manhattan and through the dark tunnels under Trenton. Whereas Henry
David Thoreau built his cabin on Walden Pond to get out of town,
for Rockland, the challenge is to head into town. As he writes, "in
the late twentieth century, a weed and trash-filled city lot . . .
may be a better place than the wilderness to contemplate one's
relationship to nature."

This book examines the representation of death and dying in
mainstream cinema. Death and the Moving Image reveals the
ambivalent place of death in 20th and 21st century culture: the
ongoing split between its over- and under-statement, between its
cold realities and its fantastical, transcendental and, most
importantly, strategic depictions. Our screens are steeped in
death's dramatics: in spectacles of glorious sacrifice or bloody
retribution, in the ecstasy of agony, but always in the promise of
redemption. This book is about the staging of these dramatics in
mainstream Western film and the discrepancies that fuel them and
are, by return, fuelled by them. Exploring the impact of gender,
race, nation or narration upon them, this groundbreaking study
isolates how mainstream cinema works to bestow value upon certain
lives, and specific socio-cultural identities, in a hierarchical
and partisan way. It examines the formal, psychological and
political exchange between cinema and death. It is accessible
'before, during, after' structure: of death's presence as narrative
promise, physical event and spectatorial reaction. It considers how
filmmaking practice or visual medium affect the representation of
death and its cultural significance.

Container shipping is a vital part of the global economy. Goods
from all around the world, from vegetables to automobiles, are
placed in large metal containers which are transported across the
ocean in ships, then loaded onto tractor-trailers and railroad
flatbeds. But when and where did this world-changing invention get
started? Â This fascinating study traces the birth of
containerization to Port Newark, New Jersey, in 1956 when trucker
Malcom McLean thought of a brilliant new way to transport cargo. It
tells the story of how Port Newark grew rapidly as McLean’s idea
was backed by both New York banks and the US military, who used
containerization to ship supplies to troops in Vietnam. Angus
Gillespie takes us behind the scenes of today’s active container
shipping operations in Port Newark, talking to the pilots who guide
the ships into port, the Coast Guard personnel who help manage the
massive shipping traffic, the crews who unload the containers, and
even the chaplains who counsel and support the mariners. Port
Newark shines a spotlight on the unsung men and women who help this
complex global shipping operation run smoothly. Since McLean's
innovation, Port Newark has expanded with the addition of the
nearby Elizabeth Marine Terminal. This New Jersey complex now makes
up the busiest seaport on the East Coast of the United
States. Some have even called it “America’s Front
Door.â€Â The book tells the story of the rapid growth of
worldwide containerization, and how Port Newark has adapted to
bigger ships with deeper channels and a raised bridge. In the end,
there is speculation of the future of this port with
ever-increasing automation, artificial intelligence, and
automation.
This book examines the representation of death and dying in
mainstream cinema. Death and the Moving Image provides the first in
depth study of the representation of death and dying in mainstream
Western cinema from its earliest to its latest renditions. It
explores the impact of gender, race, nation and narration upon
death's dramatics on screen and isolates how mainstream cinema
works to bestow value upon certain lives, and specific socio
cultural identities, in a hierarchical and partisan way. Dedicated
to the popular, to the political and ethical implications of mass
culture's themes and imperatives, this book takes mainstream cinema
to task for its mortal economies: for its adoration and absolution
of some characters and expendability of others. It also ultimately
disinters the capacity for film, and film criticism, to engage with
life and vulnerability differently. Aimed at the burgeoning field
of death studies and explosion of interest in trauma and ethics
within film studies, this book charts important new territory for
the discipline whilst arguing for the centrality of this subject to
the socio political significance of cinema. It examines the formal,
psychological and political exchange between cinema and death. It
offers an accessible 'before, during, after' structure, of death's
presence as narrative promise, physical event and spectatorial
reaction. It also provides a comparative and interdisciplinary
approach to film (draws on critical race, political theory and mise
en scene analysis and case studies from beyond Western and fiction
film).
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), Argentine educator,
statesman, and writer, self-educated after the model of Benjamin
Franklin, was "not a man but a nation," in the words of Mrs. Horace
Mann. Like De Tocqueville, this remarkable man visited the United
States in its early years and wrote a detailed account of this new
phenomenon. Full of shrewd social commentary and unique vignettes
of the America of this period-of Boston, for instance, where
Sarmiento met the Horace Manns and later Emerson and
Longfellow-Travels should take its place among the important
commentaries on the United States written during the last century
by foreign visitors. Professor Rockland's introductory essay
provides the broader context in which Travels must be seen: its
place in Sarmiento's life and career and its importance as
testimony to forgotten lines of influence between North and South
America. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
Depuis quelques annees, il semble que les gens s'interessent
davantage au piano. Cel est srtout vrai pour les adultes qui ont eu
dans leur jeunesse quelques notions elementaires de musique ou pour

reve de faire de la musique active. La Radio qui pour ainsi dire
fait partie de notre vie quotidienne a joue un role considerable
dans l'epanouissement de ce besoin imprieux. Ce Cours Special pour
adultes, presses de pouvoir jourer du piano a leur gre, doit les
inciter d'abord a faire connaissance avec les principes
fondamentaux de la musique. Sans aucun doute, les eleves et les
professeurs sauront apprecier a sa juste valeur, notre maniere de
proceder, et aussi le service que rendra cette methode progressive.
This book cuts a lucid path through the debate on spectatorship.
It revisits the classics of Hollywood; explores films beyond the
mainstream, such as Dogme 95; and shows how cinema makes a
spectacle of the everyday while turning the spectacular into
something commonplace. It also muses on the consequences of our
sharing in or witnessing the private or intimate acts of others and
our enjoyment of events that often represent a gross break with
legal and social mores.
Coined in the early 1990s to describe a burgeoning film movement,
"New Queer Cinema" has turned the attention of film theorists,
students, and audiences, to the proliferation of intelligent,
stylish, and daring work by lesbian and gay filmmakers within
independent cinema and to the proliferation of "queer" images and
themes within the mainstream. Why did this transition take place?
Was it political gains, cultural momentum, or market forces that
energized the evolution and transformation of this cinematic genre?
The volume is divided into four sections: defining "new queer
cinema," assessing its filmmakers, examining geographic and
national differences, and theorizing spectatorship. Chapters
address the pivotal directors (Todd Haynes and Gregg Araki) and
salient films (Paris is Burning, Boys Don't Cry), as well as
nonmainstream and non-Anglo-American work (experimental filmmaking
and third world cinema). With a critical eye to its uneasy
relationship to the mainstream, New Queer Cinema explores the
aesthetic, sociocultural, political, and, necessarily, commercial
investments of the movement. Although there are certainly other
books on gay and lesbian issues in film, this is the first
full-length study of recent developments in queer cinema, combining
indispensable discussions of central issues with exciting new work
by key writers. Features .Provides a definitive introduction to New
Queer Cinema .Clear structure with each section addressing a key
topic in the study of New Queer Cinema .Themes covered include
genre, gender and race, politics, media, and the relationship
between New Queer Cinema and the mainstream. Michele Aaron is
Lecturer in Film Studies at Brunel University, London.
