For her first feature film, The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola commissioned British fashion photographer Corinne Day to join her on set. Renowned for her unadorned, grungy photographs of iconic models of the 1990s, Day’s representation of female beauty met its match in Coppola, whose debut marked the first of her unaffected, empathetic depictions of womanhood. Edited from Day’s original negatives, this volume, which launches alongside The Virgin Suicides' twenty-fifth anniversary, gives mesmerising and unprecedented insight into Coppola’s enigmatic staging of the Lisbon sisters and their suburban trappings. In Day’s photographs, the lush mystique of Coppola’s set runs through images of the young actors at work and between takes, their candid posturing and pensive expressions reflecting the intimate and collaborative environment of the shoot. Fragments of the set and costume design appear suggestively – crucifixes, pink lace bras, homecoming dresses, beauty products, and toffee apples – all playing their part in Coppola’s depiction of the yearning and repression of adolescence. Completed with new texts by Sofia Coppola and Jeffrey Eugenides, this volume opens a fascinating dialogue between Eugenides’s original text and Coppola’s cult adaptation.Designed by Anamaria Morris for Joseph Logan Design

Escribí Las venas para difundir ideas ajenas y experiencias propias que quizás ayuden un poquito, en su realista medida, a despejar los interrogantes que nos persiguen desde siempre: ¿es América Latina una región del mundo condenada a la humillación y a la pobreza? ¿Condenada por quién? ¿Culpa de Dios, culpa de la naturaleza? ¿No será la desgracia un producto de la historia, hecha por los hombres y que por los hombres puede, por lo tanto, ser deshecha? Este libro fue escrito con la intención de divulgar ciertos hechos que la historia oficial, historia contada por los vencedores, esconde o miente. Sé que pudo resultar sacrílego que este manual de divulgación hable de economía política en el estilo de una novela de amor o de piratas. Creo que no hay vanidad en la alegría de comprobar, al cabo del tiempo, que Las venas no ha sido un libro mudo. Eduardo Galeano

In "Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter", bestselling authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough take readers through the wide world of this versatile culinary staple. This globetrotting guide provides recipes, cultural history, anecdotes and info for ham in all its permutations - from Easter lunch to Iberian jamon to classic Southern-style preparations. The book covers ham in its four main categories: fresh, European dry-cured, American dry-cured and wet-cured. The authors share 100 recipes, including ones for Filipino twice-cooked pork, grilled and herbed butterflied ham and even a perfectly spiced (politically incorrect, but delicious) Moroccan spice rub for roasted fresh ham. The book is brimming with content, but Weinstein and Scarbrough anchor everything with their accessible, conversational style and hilarious personal anecdotes (for example, what happens when you bring jambon persille - 'Ham Jell-O' - to a swanky party? Or, how do two transplants from the big city to the countryside go about making their own prosciutto? The answer is not for the squeamish).The book is enlivened by discussions of the science of ham or, more importantly, the science of curing: the importance of the magnesium switch-out in cellular structure, the role of salt, lactic acids in cured meat, the debate about nitrates/nitrites. With 25 stunning photos by Marcus Nilsson, the book will be both juicy bedtime reading and a bespattered kitchen standby. The recipes are varied in both ethnicity and scope. Together they've written a very funny and delicious collection of recipes and stories celebrating their obsession. Panfried Ham from Peru, Lechon Asada from Cuba, braised Ham Cacciatore, Ham Tagine and Red-Cooked Ham and Chestnuts are just a few of the international dishes they feature. Country hams from the South feature largely in the book, as well as cured hams from Spain and Italy. Sidebars and written snapshots of producers and farmers flesh out this cookbook that is part travelogue and part cultural history, a fusion of art and workaday know-how, as well as a wry, entertaining, and enlightening look at one of the world's culinary obsessions.

In the Blink of an Eye is celebrated film editor Walter Murch's vivid, multifaceted, thought -- provoking essay on film editing. Starting with what might be the most basic editing question -- Why do cuts work? -- Murch treats the reader to a wonderful ride through the aesthetics and practical concerns of cutting film. Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication.

Spielberg, Brin, Dell, Seinfeld-phenomenally successful ...and Jewish. Why have Jews risen to the top of the business and professional world in numbers staggeringly out of proportion to their percentage of the American population? Steven Silbiger has the answer. Based on the author's synthesis of wide reading and research, The Jewish Phenomenon sets forth seven principles that form the bedrock of Jewish financial success. With startling statistics, a wealth of anecdotes, and the fascinating details behind some of America's biggest business success stories, Silbiger convincingly shows how these seven keys have helped the Jews historically and how they continue to ensure Jewish success today. More important, the author makes clear that these principles are equally at the disposal of Jews and non-Jews alike. The amazing success of the Jews simply proves that they work.

Twenty-eight years after its first publication, the best-selling "Watchmaking" continues to inspire and encourage the art of watchmaking, especially among new generations of enthusiasts. As a supreme master of his art, George Daniels' advice is constantly sought by both students and watch repairers, his understanding of the problems that can beset the would-be watchmaker, especially in an age of mass production, and his expert knowledge of the history of watchmaking being second to none. Here, the making of the precision timekeeper is described step by step and illustrated at each stage with line drawings and brief explanatory captions.The text is easy to follow and care has been taken to avoid complicated technical descriptions. As Daniels is particularly interested in the development of the escapement - many are described in this book, several of his own design - the reader is encouraged to explore this aspect of watchmaking in even greater detail.This classic handbook still remains indispensable to generations of watchmakers and repairers, and also provides a fascinating insight to the enthusiast and watch-collector who, until its publication, had often been able only to admire the superb craftsmanship of a fine watch without understanding how it works.

Der Steppenwolf ist dasjenige Buch Hermann Hesses, das die internationale Renaissance seines Autors ausgelöst hat. Schon 1927 schrieb Kurt Pinthus: "Ich lese den Steppenwolf, dies unbarmherzigst und seelenzerwühlendste aller Bekenntnisbücher, düsterer und wilder als Rousseaus Confessions, die grausamste Geburtsfeier, die je ein Dichter selbst zelebrierte."§"Es handelt sich um einen Anarchisten, der voll rasender Wut auf dieses falsch dastehende Dasein Warenhäuser und Kathedralen zerschlagen und der bürgerlichen Weltordung das Gesicht ins Genick drehen möchte. Es handelt sich um einen Revolutionär des Ichs... Der Steppenwolf ist eine Dichtung des gegenbürgerlichen Mutes."
