As film students and younger fans experience "Big Hollywood Sound"
in Imax presentations and digital theaters, many are also
discovering action and adventure movies made well before they were
born. There is a legacy to be enjoyed in the sound of these films:
Blockbuster movies of the '80's, and '90's are notable for the
extraordinarily dramatic impact of their sound mixing, and the way
in which it could immerse audiences in a surrounding space. During
this period, a small group of sound professionals in Hollywood
wrote and published a critical journal about the craftsmanship, new
technology, and changing aesthetics that excited conversation in
their community. Their work has been edited and compiled here for
the first time. David Stone is a sound editor, a veteran of roughly
100 Hollywood feature films, such as Gremlins, Top Gun, Die Hard,
Speed, and Ocean's 11. He was a Supervising Sound Editor for
projects as varied as Predator, Edward Scissorhands, Beauty and the
Beast, Batman Returns, City Slickers 2, and Dolores Claiborne. He
has collected Golden Reel awards for Best Sound Editing five times,
and won the 1992 Academy Award (R) for best Sound Effects Editing,
for his supervising work on Bram Stoker's Dracula. In 2015, he
received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the San Luis Obispo
Jewish Film Festival in California. Stone is now a Professor and
former Chair of Sound Design at Savannah College of Art and Design.
Between 1989 and 1994, he was the editor of Moviesound Newsletter,
which was published by Vanessa Ament. Dr. Vanessa Theme Ament is
the author of The Foley Grail, and a contributor to Sound:
Dialogue, Music, and Effects (the Silver Screen Series). She is on
the steering committee for Cinesonika, an international film
festival and conference. A veteran Foley artist, sound editor, and
voice actor from Los Angeles, she also writes and sings jazz, and
is a member of the American Federation of Musicians, SAG-AFTRA,
Actors Equity, and the Editors Guild. She worked on Die Hard, sex,
lies, and videotape, Platoon, Predator, Edward Scissorhands, Beauty
and the Beast, Noises Off, and A Goofy Movie, and many other films.

The only thing harder than raising the dead is making a movie about
raising the dead. In the summer of 1931, life was good for Junior
Laemmle. Though only twenty-three years old, he was the head of all
movie production for Universal Pictures, and under his reign, the
studio flourished. So much so, he was about to be bestowed with the
greatest honor a young executive can receive in Hollywood: a
promotion to vice president of the entire company. What's more,
Carl Laemmle, his father and founder of the studio, was returning
to California for the first time in years to personally present the
honor to his son. Or so Junior thought. When his father arrives,
Junior discovers that instead of being grateful for transforming
and catapulting the out-of-date studio into the future, his father
is obsessed with Junior's next production: Frankenstein. Like the
year before, Carl is fervently against making another grisly and
gothic film, despite Dracula becoming a huge hit--a project which
Junior fought for and personally oversaw through production. Also
not helping Junior's cause, though the film is just days away from
beginning production, the final choice between Bela Lugosi and
Boris Karloff to play the role of the Monster, has yet to be made.
It's Alive! is a thrilling and vibrant portrait of 1930s Hollywood
centered around the chaotic and exciting days just before the
filming of the beloved cult-classic film, Frankenstein. Woven with
hopeful passion, emotional vulnerability, staunch determination,
and creative fulfillment, readers will be swept along with
breathless cinematic pace through events that will not only change
the lives of everyone involved, but Hollywood itself.
This book presents a variety of widely used algorithms, expressing
them in a pure functional programming language to make their
structure and operation clearer to readers. In the opening chapter
the author introduces the specific notations that constitute the
variant of Scheme that he uses. The second chapter introduces many
of the simpler and more general patterns available in functional
programming. The chapters that follow introduce and explain data
structures, sorting, combinatorial constructions, graphs, and
sublist search. Throughout the book the author presents the
algorithms in a purely functional version of the Scheme programming
language, which he makes available on his website. The book is
supported with exercises, and it is suitable for undergraduate and
graduate courses on programming techniques.
Most of World War II's key events have been exhaustively documented
and analyzed during the past sixty years, together with virtually
every aspect of the lives and actions of the political leaders, the
generals, and the millions of military and civilian personnel
involved. However, the vital process that provided the political
and strategic framework to enable them to direct the war - the
Allied war summits - has not been considered in recent times.
Comprehensive and authoritative, "War Summits" charts the problems
and the compromises, the discussions and the negotiations, the
successes and the failures of the U.S., British, and Soviet allies
from 1941 to 1945. David Stone highlights the sometimes less than
altruistic national agendas, the well-founded doubts and
uncertainties, and the recurring suspicions of Roosevelt,
Churchill, and Stalin and their advisers. And Stone relates the
strategic planning process directly to its impact upon events on
the battlefield and, finally, to the way in which the whole
post-1945 world - including the United Nations, the nuclear
dimension, and the impending Cold War - was directly shaped by the
war summits' process. Political and military historians, political
leaders involved with foreign affairs and strategic planning,
professional military personnel, and general readers of modern
history will find this work of compelling interest.
Dr. Stone's guiding principle on business and prosperity
consciousness is this: If you desire abundance for yourself,
dedicate your life to helping others find abundance as well. As one
of the most successful businessmen of the New Age movement, Dr.
Stone has written an easily digestible book full of tools and
advice for achieving prosperity. This book conveys esoteric secrets
of the universe that, if mastered, can lead to maximum
manifestation results. Based on personal experience and the deep
spiritual, psychological and earthly insights from Dr. Stone's
extensive research and application of these principles, this book
is like no other in the financial field because it is a holistic
approach for life study rather than just another book about
money--it will change not only your finances, but your life.
"Fighting for the Fatherland" traces and analyzes three and a half
centuries of the evolution of the German fighting man and the
armies in which he served. It sets his patriotism against his
cultural background and against the ever-changing national
imperatives of his time.The German soldier's cultural legacy
encompasses the romanticized Teutonic legends of Germanic
mythology. The more immediate and pragmatic imperatives of
Brandenburg's and Prussia's national survival during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries reinforced the Germans'
emerging awareness of their wider national identity, precipitating
the heady brew of spectacular military victories and imperialist
aspirations that dominated the following century. But then came the
humiliating Versailles Treaty and the pervasive lure of National
Socialism, a perverse path that left Germany divided in 1945 after
a world war that saw both the zenith and nadir of the German
soldier's fortunes. Finally, yet another culture, with its very
different priorities, today underwrites the post-Cold War
Bundeswehr of a reunified Germany. David Stone explores the true
nature of the German soldier-his motivation, his preparation for
war, his conduct in battle-and those aspects of his training,
organization, leadership, and lifestyle that reveal why this
fighter for his fatherland has proven so formidable and has had
such a pronounced impact upon European and world history during the
past 350 years. With a foreword by Richard Holmes.
