Invasions USA: The Essential Science Fiction Films of the 1950s
ISBN: 9781442236516 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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

While Woo is widely regarded as a master action director, scant attention has been paid to the manner in which Woo's films reflect the director's religious and ethical concerns. Through an examination of representative films from the director's Hong Kong and American periods, Michael Bliss...

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...

ISBN: 9781517171650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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.
