Possibly Alfred Hitchcock's most popular and elaborate film, North by Northwest follows advertising executive Roger Thornhill's frantic cross-country race to free himself from a false murder charge and a mistaken identity pursuit by foreign spies. In a series of lively, self-contained chapters geared to both film buffs and casual viewers, the book explores all of the structural and thematic elements that combine to make this one of the master of suspense's most remarkable achievements. Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Hitchcock's favorite production team and a perfect cast including James Mason and Eva Marie Saint are celebrated at the height of their creative talents.

The Book of Abraham, with the facsimiles, is a unique scripture to the Latter-day Saints. Its content is closely related to our understanding of the Plan of Happiness. Numerous books and publications have been written about the Egyptology and science in the facsimiles. However, the Egyptians worshiped pagan gods. This book is a unique attempt to consider the Prophet's "Explanations" of the facsimiles as scripture, with a minimum of Egyptian interference. The facsimiles teach wholesome, uplifting and divine principles. They were received by divine revelation and were meant to be studied by that same influence. The Prophet Joseph Smith obtained the Egyptian papyri in July, 1835. He waited seven years before he published his translation in 1842. This was only a few weeks before he performed the first temple endowments in our dispensation. Nothing sacred to the temple is discussed in this text. However, those who make regular temple worship an important component of their lives may have an especially insightful understanding. The facsimiles depict events that actually happened in the lives of the participants. The Pharaoh attempted to sacrifice Abraham, Facsimile 1. Abraham experienced a cosmic tour of the heavens, Facsimile 2. Shulem was sealed by the Priesthood to his wife for time and all eternity, in an authorized temple ceremony. He drew us a picture of it, in representative form, Facsimile 3.

El libro de Abraham, con los facsimiles, constituye una escritura muy singular a los Santos de los ultimos dias. Aumenta considerablemente nuestro conocimiento sobre el plan de la felicidad. Nos ayuda a comprender nuestra vida premortal. Ilumina la creacion de la tierra y los cielos, que fueron creados para nosotros. Revela la magnitud y la magnificencia de la creacion. Su contenido esta tambien relacionado con nuestra experiencia de culto del templo. El profeta Jose Smith obtuvo los papiros egipcios en julio de 1835, pero espero siete anos antes de que publico su traduccion, solo unas pocas semanas antes de que realizo la primera dotacion de templo en nuestro dispensation. Lo proporciona un medio para el ilustrar a los Santos, en un formato de escrituras mas completado, un breve vistazo de la experiencia de culto de hermoso templo que pronto estarian disponible para ellos. Nada sagrado se discute en este texto. La santidad del templo es honrada y preservada. Este texto se proporciona de manera reverencial, una vista escritural de los facsimiles del libro de Abraham, presentado por el profeta Jose Smith en sus "explicaciones."
