Steven Nesbit directs this thriller starring Steven Berkoff and
Bernard Hill. When two young lovers realise that they belong to
rival gangs, they quickly discover that their love must be hidden
from their gang leaders Vic Clarke and John Claridge (Berkoff and
Hill) for fear of causing an inter-gang war. The cast also includes
Mason Adams, Freema Agyeman and Judith Alexander.
Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new
digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF's
futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat".
The series of X-planes that sprang from the US Army's Request for
Data R40C, focused on high-altitude, high-speed, long-range bomber
interceptors. Among these aircraft was the McDonnell Aircraft
Company's first ever clean sheet design, the XP67. Its futuristic
lines promised performance that it was ultimately unable to
deliver, but development was still underway when disaster struck.
Just before Army performance demonstration flights were scheduled
to begin, an engine fire destroyed the only XP-67 prototype,
leaving a host of unanswered questions about what might have been,
and leading to decades of continuing fascination with the XP-67
among aviation buffs and aircraft modelers. The authors of this
book have uncovered new sources of information and a wealth of
photographs and line drawings that document not just the XP-67 but
also its immediate precursors within the McDonnell Aircraft design
community, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt
variants aimed at different missions. Packed with unpublished
photos of all stages of construction including key airframe changes
made after initial flight tests, showing in detail how the final
configuration was evolved, this volume finally provides clear focus
on a story that has long been shrouded in mystery.
In the first FX movie, special effects expert Rollie Taylor (Bryan
Brown) is hired to fake a gangster's murder, but it soon becomes
clear that someone wants Rollie dead. He has to use all his special
effects skills to stay alive. The sequel has the special effects
man called out of retirement to take part in a police
investigation.
This collection introduces, illustrates, and advances fresh ideas
about creative practice inquiry in architecture. It concerns
architectural knowledge: how architects can use their distinctive
skills, habits, and values to advance professional insight, and how
such insights can be extended to make wider contributions to
society, culture, and scholarship. It shows how architectural ways
of knowing and working can be mobilised as tools for research.
Collected here are a series of creative practices that emerge out
of architecture and actively engage with other fields and methods
reaching across the academic landscape. Architectural inquiries
collected in this book probe matters that lie beyond the obvious
expectations, the conventions, the default, of the discipline.
Drawing, borrowing, adapting, dramatising, perhapsing, monstering,
experimenting, cartooning-the tools and methods of each inquiry
vary but they all share a common outward gaze, engaging
architectural ways of knowing with other disciplines and practices
including the arts, biological sciences, ethnography, and
technology. Chapters gathered here offer insight not only into
incipient modes and tools of architectural research, but emerging
ethical, practical, and philosophical positions intimately tied to
the creative practices involved. Setting-out the idea of creative
practice inquiry in architecture, this innovative volume offers a
lively and resourceful contribution to a growing body of work on
design as research. It will be of interest to: students keen to
pursue architectural ways of thinking and writing; practitioners
who want to use their distinctive professional abilities to
contribute to architectural and scholarly knowledge; and academics
and doctoral candidates keen to engage with the burgeoning
scholarly field of design research.
