This is the first book in English exclusively devoted to the long
take, one of the key elements of film style. Increasingly visible
in contemporary international media, the long take currently
attracts a good deal of attention in criticism and commentary.
There are also significant strands of film theory in which duration
has become a recurrent concern. In keeping with the approach of
Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television, this collection is
devoted to the detailed critical analysis of specific long takes,
explored in terms of how they function within their contexts, how
they shape the visual field, the meanings they generate and the
effects they create. The Long Take: Critical Approaches brings
together essays by established and emerging scholars (all but one
essay commissioned for this volume) in an exciting collection that
analyses works from a range of filmmaking traditions, from the
1930s to the present day, selected to represent varied long take
practices and to explore associated debates.
The life of mise-en-scene offers a critical history of key debates
about visual style in British film journals in the post-war period.
It reclaims an often-ignored or misrepresented history, including:
the concept of film poetry in the journal Sequence, changing
attitudes in Sight and Sound during the 1950s, and the battle over
the significance of film style which raged between a number of
small journals and the national press in the early 1960s. It
examines the British school, first associated with Movie in the
1960s, which, in Adrian Martin's words, is enjoying a 'widespread,
international revival' - but also other critical movements, more
hazily remembered. It explores the role of mise-en-scene in
melodrama criticism, and considers what happened to detailed
criticism as major theoretical movements emerged in the 1970s. In
doing so, it provides a vital context for the contemporary practice
of style-based criticism and challenges received notions of
critical history, developing our understanding of a range of other
key debates and concerns in the study of film. -- .
Delay and disruption in the course of construction impacts upon
building projects of any scale. Now in its 5th edition Delay and
Disruption in Construction Contracts continues to be the
pre-eminent guide to these often complex and potentially costly
issues and has been cited by the judiciary as a leading textbook in
court decisions worldwide, see, for example, Mirant v Ove Arup
[2007] EWHC 918 (TCC) at [122] to [135] per the late His Honour
Judge Toulmin CMG QC. Whilst covering the manner in which delay and
disruption should be considered at each stage of a construction
project, from inception to completion and beyond, this book
includes: An international team of specialist advisory editors,
namely Francis Barber (insurance), Steve Briggs (time), Wolfgang
Breyer (civil law), Joe Castellano (North America), David-John
Gibbs (BIM), Wendy MacLaughlin (Pacific Rim), Chris Miers (dispute
boards), Rob Palles-Clark (money), and Keith Pickavance Comparative
analysis of the law in this field in Australia, Canada, England and
Wales, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, the United States and in
civil law jurisdictions Commentary upon, and comparison of,
standard forms from Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom, USA and elsewhere, including two major new forms New
chapters on adjudication, dispute boards and the civil law dynamic
Extensive coverage of Building Information Modelling New appendices
on the SCL Protocol (Julian Bailey) and the choice of delay
analysis methodologies (Nuhu Braimah) Updated case law (to December
2014), linked directly to the principles explained in the text,
with over 100 helpful "Illustrations" Bespoke diagrams, which are
available for digital download and aid explanation of multi-faceted
issues This book addresses delay and disruption in a manner which
is practical, useful and academically rigorous. As such, it remains
an essential reference for any lawyer, dispute resolver, project
manager, architect, engineer, contractor, or academic involved in
the construction industry.
Approaches to the detailed analysis of film and related questions
about interpretations and value are once again being widely debated
in film studies. Style and meaning is the first edited collection
for many years to focus on these matters. The essays - which
include contributions by established film scholars (such as George
M. Wilson, V. F. Perkins and Laura Mulvey) and by younger writers
in the field - centre on methods of close analysis and ground their
discussion in the detail of individual films. With a common focus
on the choices made by filmmakers, the writers explores different
aspects of the relationship between textual detail and broader
conceptual frameworks. Some chapters examine individual aspects of
filmmaking - the long take, cinematography, space and point of
view, unreliable narration. Others take up different kinds of
questions which are equally crucial to textual analysis and
interpretation, including: meaning and value; emotional response;
the concept of 'the fictional world'; new technologies and film
analysis. The selection of films has been made to reflect not only
those areas of film history which traditionally been explored
through mise-en-scene criticism, but also areas such as the
avant-garde and television drama which have not tended to receives
such detailed investigation. In these ways the book conducts a
series of dialogues with issues in film study which are
specifically provoked by close analysis. Style and meaning is an
important new initiative in the varied literature of film studies.
its highly readable collection of analyses and variety of
approaches will prove popular on undergraduate courses while
providing an invaluable resource for graduate students and teachers
of film and media. -- .
This work was originally issued as a two-volume set, published in
1987 and 1988. It constitutes the definitive presentation of the
system of classifying moral judgment built up by Lawrence Kohlberg
and his associates over a period of twenty years. Researchers in
human development and education around the world, many of whom have
worked with interim versions of the system - indeed, all those
seriously interested in understanding the development of moral
judgment - will find it a useful and accessible resource. Volume 1
reviews Kohlberg's stage theory, and the large body of research on
the significance and utility of his moral stages. Issues of
reliability and validity are addressed. The volume ends with
detailed instructions for using the reference sections, which are
presented in volume 2.

"Mise-en-sc?ne: Film Style and Interpretation" explores and
elucidates constructions of this fundamental concept in thinking
about film. In uncovering the history of mise-en-sc?ne within film
criticism, and through the detailed exploration of scenes from
films as "Imitation of Life" and "Lone Star, " John Gibbs makes the
case for the importance of a sensitive understanding of film style,
and provides an introduction to the skills of close reading. This
book thus celebrates film-making as well as film criticism that is
alive to the creative possibilities of visual style.

The Bird in the Bush presents an idealistic account of the way in
which our world is constituted. We encounter the world as a system
of ideas because our consciousness cannot get out of the body and
encounter it directly. This book suggests that the world is
basically nothing other than ideas and that our consciousness has
existed within it for aeons. This gives rise to an explanation of
creation and explanations for many (if not all) of the enigmas of
human experience and behaviour.
