as The Prince, goes in pursuit of notorious crime boss Omar
(Willis), a former rival from his violent past. As he ventures from

confront a past life that's been buried for 20 years as his
carefully cultivated identity begins to unravel...
This book provides a comprehensive and thorough guide to those
readers who are lost in the often-confusing context of weld
fatigue. It presents straightforward information on the fracture
mechanics and material background of weld fatigue, starting with
fatigue crack initiation and short cracks, before moving on to long
cracks, crack closure, crack growth and threshold, residual stress,
stress concentration, the stress intensity factor, J-integral,
multiple cracks, weld geometries and defects, microstructural
parameters including HAZ, and cyclic stress-strain behavior. The
book treats all of these essential and mutually interacting
parameters using a unique form of analysis.
One of the iconic figures of the twentieth-century cinema, Sergei
Eisenstein is best known as the director of The Battleship
Potemkin. His craft as director and film editor left a distinct
mark on such key figures of the Western cinema as Nicolas Roeg,
Francis Ford Coppola, Sam Peckinpah and Akiro Kurosawa.This
comprehensive volume of Eisenstein's writings is the first-ever
English-language edition of his newly discovered notes for a
general history of the cinema, a project he undertook in 1946-47
before his death in 1948. In his writings, Eisenstein presents the
main coordinates of a history of the cinema without mentioning
specific directors or films: what we find instead is a vast
genealogy of all the media and of all the art forms that have
preceded cinema's birth and accompanied the first decades of its
history, exploring the same expressive possibilities that cinema
has explored and responding to the same, deeply rooted, "urges"
cinema has responded to. Cinema appears here as the heir of a very
long tradition that includes death masks, ritual processions, wax
museums, diorama and panorama, and as a medium in constant
transformation, that far from being locked in a stable form
continues to redefine itself. The texts by Eisenstein are
accompanied by a series of critical essays written by some of the
world's most qualified Eisenstein scholars.
