Cien películas que me abrieron la cabeza
by Nicolás Amelio OrtizCien películas que me abrieron la cabeza es el viaje personal al que nos invita Nicolás para compartir su intenso amor por el cine. Una experiencia vital que empezó en la adolescencia, cuando vio Vértigo de Hitchcock por primera vez, y que lo acompaña desde entonces. Lejos de todo canon, este libro no pretende ser la selección de las películas que tenés que ver antes de morir; ni la lista de las que te recomiendan una y otra vez los profesores de cine. Son simplemente cien que a Nico le abrieron un mundo, y más de una vez le partieron la cabeza. En estas páginas concebidas desde la pasión y el desprejuicio total, conviven una de Ingmar Bergman y otra con Jim Carrey; la elegante obra de Luchino Visconti con la de su más sangriento compatriota Dario Argento; obras maestras del cine americano de los 70 con títulos de jóvenes autores que están destinados a romperla en los próximos años. Y alguna menospreciada y monstruosa belleza clase B que un crítico acaso demasiado "serio" no se atrevería a incluir en ninguna lista. No necesitás saber nada de cine para zambullirte en este libro: solo dejarte llevar e hipnotizar; descubrir y discutir. Y estar listo para emprender, como le pasó a Nicolás, un viaje alucinante para toda la vida.

Over its history, this burgeoning river metropolis pursued the unusual, the sensational and the controversial. Cincinnati was big - among the ten largest U.S. cities. And it was rude and crude, still shaking off the dust from its years as a frontier outpost. Much of the popular nightlife then would be illegal today.Buckle up as author Greg Hand leads a rambunctious tour through the old, weird Cincinnati.

Cinema, Literature & Society: Elite and Mass Culture in Interwar Britain (Routledge Library Editions: Cinema)
by Malcolm Smith Peter MilesDuring the interwar period cinema and literature seemed to be at odds with each other, part of the continuing struggle between mass and elite culture which so worried writers such as Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot and the Leavises. And this cultural divide appeared to be sharp evidence of a deeper struggle for control of the nation’s consciousness, not only between dominant and oppositional elements within Britain, but between British and American vales as well. On the one hand, films like Sing As We Go, Proud Valley, and The Stars Look Down consolidated the assumptions about the existence of a national rather than separate class identities. On the other hand, working-class literature such as Love on the Dole articulated working-class experience in a manner intended to bridge the gap between the ‘Two Englands’. This book, originally published in 1987, examines how two of the most significant cultural forms in Britain contributed indirectly to the stability of Britain in the interwar crisis, helping to construct a new class alliance. A major element in the investigation is an analysis of the mechanics of the development of a national cultural identity, alongside separate working-class culture, the development of the lower-middle class and the implications of the intrusion of Hollywood culture. The treatment throughout is thematic rather than text-oriented – works of Graham Greene, George Orwell, Bert Coombes, Evelyn Waugh, the British Documentary Film Movement and Michael Balcon are included in the wide range of material covered.

Cities and Services: The geography of collective consumption
by Steven PinchCaught between the twin pressures of rising public expectations and falling resources, public services have become the subject of intense academic scrutiny and public debate. Much of this controversy has been fuelled by a growing realisation that where people live has an important influence upon their access to services. The so-called 'postcode lottery.' The first part of this book considers what is meant by the term 'collective consumption' and discusses the main differences between the British and American loyal government systems. It examines various geographical schools of analysis which focus on jurisdictional partitioning, locational efficiency, externalities and locational conflict. Subsequent chapters explore the relevance of public choice, neo-Weberian and neo-Marxist theories for an understanding of collective consumption. The final section looks at ways in which spatial perspectives can be linked with broader theoretical approaches in the context of modern developments. This book was first published in it's current form in 1985.

Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-Life in Plain English for Beginners, A Critical Edition
by Elliott Coues Mabel Osgood Wright Elliot CouesIn the late nineteenth century, American bird lovers faced a crisis. Bird species were becoming endangered or even extinct at an alarming rate, and old methods of hunting and collecting specimens accelerated the process. A new conservationist approach to birding was necessary, and it needed to be taught to the next generation of Americans. Thus 1897’s Citizen Bird, the first birding guide for children, was born. A tremendously influential text in the Progressive-era United States, it inspired in a generation of schoolchildren a love of wild birds and the desire to protect them. Born of a collaboration between naturalist Mabel Osgood Wright, ornithologist Elliott Coues, and bird artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the book is vital to the history of birding and the broader study of nineteenth-century American culture and literature. This new edition of Citizen Bird preserves the original book’s 111 drawings and adds explanatory footnotes, supplemental historical material, and a new introduction. More than a century and a quarter after its original publication, Elizabeth Cherry and Meghan Freeman contextualize the book in the tradition and history of birding and discuss the roles of its authors and illustrator in birding history. A landmark text in the history of American conservationism, Citizen Bird is a timeless classic that will bring joy to birdwatchers of all ages.

Citizens and the State: Attitudes in Western Europe and East and Southeast Asia (Routledge Innovations in Political Theory)
by Jean Blondel Takashi InoguchiThis book is about the relationship between citizens and the state. Their relationship has tended to be argued from a top down perspective without systematically examining empirical data about their association. In contrast, Citizens and the State, analyses the relationship from a primarily bottom up standpoint. Using the 18 country cross-national survey (the Asia-Europe Survey) data it examines how citizens relate themselves to the state. Featuring case studies on France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Britain, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Greece, Italy, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal, Ireland, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and China, the book systematically examines the relationship by asking three questions: how strongly do citizens identify themselves to the country? how much confidence do citizens place in the state and its institutions? how satisfied are citizens with life and politics? Innovatively, the book attempts to answer these questions by first setting up six types of relationship between citizens and the state via factor analysis of the survey data pertaining identity, confidence and satisfaction then by examining country profiles more closely and beyond the six types. The book will be of interest to students and researcher of political science, political theory, comparative political science, Asian Studies, European Studies and sociology.
