Dreams Within a Dream: The Films of Peter Weir
ISBN: 9780809322848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) "What we see, and what we seem, are but a dream, a dream within a dream." Michael Bliss views Miranda's voice-over at the beginning of "Picnic at Hanging Rock" as so pivotal in explaining the films of Peter Weir that he borrows her words to create the title of his own study of the Australian filmmaker's work. Bliss views Weir as an artist whose values are rooted in the realm of the dream, of the unconscious. Surrealistic in technique, Weir avoids the pedestrian assurances of a material realm in favor of an irresolution that, while potentially frustrating, is nonetheless for him a more...

Invasions USA: The Essential Science Fiction Films of the 1950s
ISBN: 9781442236516 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Out of more than 180 science fiction films produced in the United States between 1950 and 1959, twenty were concerned with the notion of an invasion. Of these, a select number used the invasions as metaphors of issues that were of importance to America at the time, such as assaults upon individuality and marriage and debates about the supremacy of the human race. The invasion may be real (The Day the Earth Stood Still and War of the Worlds), dreamed (Invaders from Mars), or the result of a mental breakdown, as seems to be the case in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Real or not, all of these...

Between the Bullets: The Spiritual Cinema of John Woo

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Originally a Hong Kong-based director, John Woo is now considered one of the ten most successful directors working in American films, receiving world-wide attention for his highly stylized violence in films such as The Killer (1989), Hard-Boiled (1992), Face/Off (1997), and Mission Impossible 2 (2000).

William Osler: A Life in Medicine
ISBN: 9780195329605 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) William Osler, who was a brilliant, innovative teacher and a scholar of the natural history of disease, revolutionized the art of practicing medicine at the bedside of his patients. He was idolized by two generations of medical students and practitioners for whom he came to personify the ideal doctor. But much more than a physician, Osler was a fiercely intelligent humanist.
In both his writings and his personal life--and through the prism of the tragedy of the Great War--he embodied the art of living. Indeed, this is a book not only about the evolution of modern medicine, the training of...

Loving Jesus: How To Grow In Love
ISBN: 9781517171650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) If we think about growing in love we tend to think that what we have or want just gets larger and larger. That is not what the Bible teaches. The Song of Solomon uses the story of Solomon and his Shulammite bride, to illustrate how the love of a believer for his Lord and Savior grows and matures from first love, to personal love, to abiding love, to transforming love, to mature love. It is a story that illustrates the joy and blessing of an intimate relationship with Christ and how one leaves the bondage to self and becomes free to serve and follow the Lord.
If we think about growing in love we tend to think that what we have or want just gets larger and larger. That is not what the Bible teaches. The Song...
