A history of film preservation and restoration, telling the story
from the earliest days of the cinema to the modern days of digital
restorations. The cinema was invented in the Victorian era, but for
the first four decades of its existence almost no effort was made
to preserve the millions of feet of celluloid which rolled through
the cameras and projectors of the world. As a result, thousands of
movies were lost forever. In the 1930s, the first concerted
attempts at film preservation were begun by pioneering individuals
such as Iris Barry at New York's Museum of Modern Art; Ernest
Lindgren at the British Film Institute, and the indomitable Henri
Langlois at the Cinematheque francaise, a man who performed heroics
in occupied France to save the world's cinematic heritage from
destruction by the Nazis. The 1980s video boom encouraged the
studios finally to instigate asset protection programmes and in the
digital age new methods of producing, exhibiting and restoring
motion pictures emerged.
The first full biography of the film encyclopaedist and television
impresario Leslie Halliwell, who in 1965 compiled The Filmgoer's
Companion, the first one-volume reference book devoted to all
aspects of the cinema. In his capacity as chief buyer for the ITV
network, Halliwell was further responsible for bringing to British
television screens some of the most popular films and shows of the
1970s and 80s, including The Six Million Dollar Man, Charlie's
Angels, The Winds of War, Jaws, Star Wars and the James Bond
movies. His promotion of the cinema through his books and seasons
of 'golden oldies' on Channel 4 won him awards from the London Film
Critics' Circle and the British Film Institute, as well as a
posthumous BAFTA. Film historian Jeffrey Richards said of
'Halliwell's Horizon', "I enjoyed it enormously. It combines
exhaustive research with critical insight and affectionate regard,
bringing Halliwell and his work to vivid life."
Written by leading teledermatologists and telemedicine experts,
this hands-on guide addresses the practical needs of the many
emerging teledermatology services worldwide. It covers the medical
and technical prerequisites for such services as well as the
photographic imaging essentials. It also illustrates the
performance of teledermatology by means of clinical examples,
discusses teledermatology in underdeveloped countries, and presents
specialized methods of teledermatology. The impact of telemedicine
on the doctor-patient relationship is explored, and the advantages
that accrue from improving access to expert knowledge are
explained. In addition, quality assurance, legal assumptions,
economic aspects, and the future horizons of such health care
services are all considered. A comprehensive appendix provides
information on training opportunities, sample protocols, consent
forms, information sheets, references, and relevant web links.

Showing how "chaos candidate" Donald Trump scored critical
victories in Florida in an election cycle that defied conventional
political wisdom, this volume offers surprising insights into the
2016 Republican primary and presidential election. Using historical
and current election results, campaign spending numbers, United
States Census data, and individual surveys, contributors find that
Trump won rural and suburban voters that the Clinton campaign had
ignored. They discover that early voting was less decisive than has
been assumed; that the immigration issue may not have been as
important to Hispanic voters as analysts believed; and that African
American voter turnout was down significantly from 2012 despite the
racially divisive nature of Trump's campaign. Essays also include a
breakdown of how the unpredictable voting patterns in Central
Florida's I-4 Corridor often determine which candidate takes the
state. Florida's clout should not be dismissed. The state awards
more electoral votes than most, and its victor has gone on to claim
the presidency in the last six elections. This volume forecasts the
future of the most politically volatile state in the union and
reveals emerging trends in the national political landscape.
