Each chapter is a deep-dive into a specific problem, technology, or
feature set that you'll face as a PL/SQL programmer. Each author
has chosen their topic out of the strong belief that what they
share can make a positive difference in the quality and scalability
of code that you write. The path to mastery begins with syntax and
the mechanics of writing statements to make things happen. If
you've reached that point with PL/SQL, then let the authors of
Expert PL/SQL Practices show you how to combine syntax and
mechanics with features and techniques to really make the language
sing. You'll learn to do more with less effort, to write code that

This is an authoritative history of 1970s British Cinema. This
volume draws a map of British film culture in the 1970s and
provides a wide-ranging history of the period. It examines the
cross-cultural relationship between British cinema and other media,
including popular music and television. The analysis covers
mainstream and experimental film cultures, identifying their
production contexts and the economic, legislative and censorship
constraints on British cinema throughout the decade. The essays in
Part I contextualise the study and illustrate the diversity of
1970s moving image culture. In Part II, Sue Harper and Justin Smith
examine how gender relations and social space were addressed in
film. They show how a shared visual manner and performance style
characterises this fragmented cinema, and how irony and anxiety
suffuse the whole film culture. This volume charts the shifting
boundaries of permission in 1970s film culture and changes in
audience taste. This book is the culmination of an AHRC-funded
project at the University of Portsmouth.
Covering SQL Developer fundamentals as well more intermediate and
advanced topics, this book uses in-depth explanation and detailed
examples to help you get the most out of Oracle SQL Developer. The
book has a modular structure, so that you can dip into any chapter
that covers your current area of focus and get going. This book is
for Oracle developers who want to ease their database development,
and enhance their productivity using Oracle SQL Developer. You
should have a programming knowledge of SQL and PL/SQL, and a
general familiarity with Oracle database concepts.
This book takes a broad perspective and analyses the ways in which
the British film industry has dealt with women and their creativity
from 1930 to the present. The first part of the book deals
comprehensively with different historical periods in British film
culture, showing how the 'agency' of production company, director,
distribution company or scriptwriter can bring about new patterns
of female stereotyping. The second part looks at the input of women
workers into the film process. It assesses the work of women in a
variety of roles: directors such as Wendy Toye and Sally Potter,
producers such as Betty Box, scriptwriters such as Clemence Dane
and Muriel Box, costume designers such as Shirley Russell and
Jocelyn Rickards, and editors and art directors. This is a
polemical book which is written in a lively and often
confrontational manner. It uses fresh archival material and takes
energetic issue with those explanatory models of film analysis
which impose easy answers onto complex material.>
This collection of essays highlights the variety of 1970s culture,
and shows how it responded to the transformations that were taking
place in that most elusive of decades. The 1970s was a period of
extraordinary change on the social, sexual and political fronts.
Moreover, the culture of the period was revolutionary in a number
of ways; it was sometimes florid, innovatory, risk-taking and
occasionally awkward and inconsistent. The essays collected here
reflect this diversity and analyse many cultural forms of the
1970s. The book includes articles on literature, politics, drama,
architecture, film, television, youth cultures, interior design,
journalism, and contercultural "happenings". Its coverage ranges
across phenomena as diverse as the Wombles and Woman's Own. The
volume offers an interdisciplinary account of a fascinating period
in British cultural history.This book makes an important
intervention in the field of 1970s history. It is edited and
introduced by Laurel Forster and Sue Harper, both experienced
writers, and the book comprises work by both established and
emerging scholars. Overall it makes an exciting interpretation of a
momentous and colourful period in recent culture.
