Little Red Flying Hood is a charming retelling of the original story of the plucky girl in the red hooded cape. Rather than a regular girl, in this story Red is a fruit fly. She and her friends, a bee, cricket twins, and a firefly face frightening foes and dangers on their journey to save Grandma. Each uses their strengths to overcome weaknesses and through friendship and understanding they defeat the evil spider, Cranston. Little Red Flying Hood is from the mind and talent of Benjamin Allen Nelson, who has autism. This is Ben's first book. Ben began drawing at around the time he was diagnosed with autism. Autism took his speech, but his mind was filled with images and ideas that he needed to express. Ben drew on every notepad or piece of paper he could get his hands on. His family realized that the images he was drawing were stories and that in his mind he could speed up a sequence, slow it down, and show the images from different character's points of view. When Ben began high school, his teacher, Maureen Clark, introduced him to Adobe Illustrator and a whole new world opened up for him. He was able to give his images movement, depth, color, and life quickly. He could create the stories in his imagination perfectly. Little Red Flying Hood is the first of a series of books Ben will create to retell classic tales.

This expanded edition of Thomas Nelson's trenchant study of a master of film includes new chapters on "Full Metal Jacket" and "Eyes Wide Shut". In the wake of the director's death, Nelson reconsiders his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in an historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into - and out of - Stanely Kubrick's cinematic maze.;Stanely Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of autherist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the aesthetics of contingency. After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to "Lolita", "Dr. Strangelove", "2001 - A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange", "Barry Lyndon", and "The Shining". For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on "Full Metal Jacket" and "Eyes Wide Shut".
