New York: St. Martin's Press, Inc., 1986. BOOK: Spine, Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: Analysing popular television and film. SYNOPSIS: Over the past twenty years much of the most interesting work in the humanities has focused on the study of popular culture. The traditional valuation of the arts in terms of an elite culture defined by a minority audience and an exclusive tradition has been challenged by a whole variety of work which has asserted the importance of the great popular forums of the twentieth century: film, television and recorded music. This work has developed alongside the other main new impetus in the humanities, an interest in critical theory and the foregrounding of problems of interpretation. Although these two areas' work have often overlapped they have yet to be brought into a truly productive relationship. The aim of the seminar in which this volume originated… Read More

SYNOPSIS: This book is for film makers, of course, and for critics and teachers and students of the film. It is also for fans, whose enthusiasm for star or story may actually be related to deeper sources of satisfaction in the art of the film. The theories conflict. Those who love movies should not be upset by the fact that there seem to be deep contradictions in these 39 articles. What kind of aesthetic theory can reconcile realism and fantasy, entertainment and education, mysteries and musicals, slapstick and spectacle? There can no more be a final theory of film than there can be a definitive theory of what to put in a book. The storm over style and content in the film will rage forever, for… Read More

BOOK NUMBER: T2494. SYNOPSIS: The wench was dead - but Travis McGee was backtracking her wild, sad tail through the bizarre world of the hippies and drug freaks who had found haven in Mexico. McGee would need all his cool, all his insight, to live up to the estimate of the rich and beautiful woman who perhaps held the key to the puzzle. "You disconcert me," the woman said. "Perhaps it is part of your cleverness, part of practicing an illusion, to be so muscular, so fit, and to have about you a kind of indolence, a flavor of amusement. You are more complex than the kind of man who is paid to strike a ball with a stick, or to fly to another star. You have a living style that contents you." Contentment? Not this trip . . .… Read More

The series was published originally in weekly instalments in The Western Producer. Shortly after the first few episodes appeared, reader response was such that… Read More
