The latest hot camera is pretty irrelevant if one can't understand what's happening on screen. The key to any narrative is in the dialogue and voice over, but if this is unintelligible or difficult to hear, viewers will soon lose interest. With real world applications and a narrative to keep the reader's interest, Production Sound Mixing is the indispensable guide for film and video audio recording. Written by veteran sound mixer John J. Murphy, the book offers a step by step collaborative journey through the basic physics of sound, concluding with a practical guide of the latest techniques and equipment available to all who are interested in the best audio for their projects. Structured to mimic a 14-week semester, each chapter begins with an audio problem to be solved and ends with a solution drawn from information gleaned from past chapters. Suggested movie scenes that demonstrate the relevant audio techniques will also be included. Equally applicable to studio and location recording, the book is oriented toward commonly accessible environments such as conference rooms, hallways, beaches, car interiors, bathrooms, and so on. The intent is to allow the student to make the best of a location no matter how challenging it might be. Most importantly, this book will make one aware of the potential of sound on screen, for it is truly 50% of the viewing experience.

Willa Cather at the Modernist Crux examines Willa Cather's position in time, in aesthetics, and in the world. Born a Victorian in 1873, Cather made herself a modernist through the poems, stories, and novels she wrote and published into the twentieth century. Beginning with a prologue locating Cather's position, this volume of Cather Studies offers three sets of related essays. The first section takes up Cather's beginnings with her late nineteenth-century cultural influences. The second section explores a range of discernible direct connections with contemporary artists (Howard Pyle, Frederic Remington, and Ernest Blumenschein) and others who figured in the making of her texts. The third section focuses on The Song of the Lark, a novel that confirms Cather's shift westward and elaborates her emergent modernism. An epilogue by the editors of The Selected Letters of Willa Cather addresses how the recent availability of these letters has transformed Cather studies. Altogether, these essays detail Cather's shaping of the world of the early twentieth century and later into a singular modernism born of both inherited and newer cultural traditions.

The Divine Office is not difficult to say if only there be put into the study of its various parts a little method and intelligent attention. This book has been written principally to help ecclesiastical students to learn in a practical ways and in a brief time, how to say tbeir Office correctly. It is hoped that those who carefully study its pages will find themselves thoroughly prepared on the day of their ordination to Subdeaconship, to take upon themselves the perpetual obligation of the Breviary. In the concluding chapters of this work-under the heading of PRACTICAL THEORY the subject of Titular and Dedication is treated at length. Under this heading an amount of theory ha. Been given which will be found useful not only on account of its direct bearing on the practical question under consideration, but also because by its a study the whole composition of the Ordo itself will be better understood. These chapters, it ia confidently believed, will be found helpful not only to student, but also to all priests attached to churches, who often experience lome difficulty in arranging the Office of the octave of their Titulars. Originally published in 1921, this describes the rubrics of the pre-1955 Breviary or the Breviary of Saint Pius X. It was a popular book among clergy studying for the priesthood and priests who use the older Breviary.

So you want to recite the Divine Office according to the traditional unrevised Rites in place prior to 1955? This is the book for you. This is a practical guide to the recitation of the Catholic Divine Office according to the Breviarium Romanum as celebrated before any of the Modernists began changing the Divine Office. This explains simply how to recite all of the Hours of the Divine Office from Matins to Compline. Originally published in 1921, this work is even more important today to those who wish to preserve Catholicism and the Divine Office. Chapter 1 is an overview of the Breviary. Chapter 2 explains the divisions. Chapter 3 is devoted to the Office of Matins of nine lessons and Chapter 4 is for Matins of three lessons. Chapter five is devoted to Lauds. Chapter six explains the little hours. Chapter seven is devoted to Vespers, while Chapter eight covers the night prayer of the Church, Compline. Chapter nine explains where everything can be found, while Chapter ten explains everything else a person needs to know to recite the Divine office. Then begins a section of Practical Theory, which covers any question that might arise in choosing the proper office of the day. St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals ' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.

"The essays in Cather Studies, Volume 8 explore the many locales and cultures informing Willa Cather's fiction. A lifelong Francophile, Cather first visited France in 1902 and returned repeatedly throughout her life. Her visits to France influenced not only her writing but also her interpretation of other worlds; for example, while visiting the American Southwest in 1912, a region that informed her subsequent works, she first viewed that landscape through the prism of her memories of Provence. Cather's intellectual intercourse between the Old and the New World was a two-way street, moving both people and cultural mores between the two. But her worlds extended far beyond France, or even geographical locations. This new volume pairs Cather innovatively with additional influences---theological, aesthetic, even gastronomical---and examines her as tourist and traveler cautiously yet assiduoulsy exploring a diverse range of palces, ethnicities, and professions."--BOOK JACKET.

Born on the wrong side of the track I managed through fate and perseverance to step over to the other side. In doing so, my life took many twists and turns both vocationally and geographically. From steward on a train, to presenting papers at international conferences on six continents; it has been a long and interesting journey.

This path enabled me to achieve undreamed of heights. I became a graduate of the Military Academy, fighter pilot consultant, and professor.

I interacted with many people in my life, some interaction was good some was bad, but from each interaction one learns something and maybe just maybe it could be a life enriching experience.

Edith Lewis met Willa Cather in 1903 and remained her close friend and traveling companion until Cather's death in 1947. In this straightforward and affectionate biography Lewis illuminates the human side of the great American novelist.
