Stone Blossoms
by Luo Changjiang
The full-length reportage "Stone Blossom" closely focuses on the main line of poverty alleviation by tourism, focusing on the spirit of struggle of the people in Wulingyuan to fight poverty and the vivid stories, reflecting the scenes of rearranging mountains and rivers to change their destiny. “Tourism feeds back agriculture and poverty alleviation connects tourism” to continuously influence, impact and refresh the vivid process of people's ideas, behaviors and thinking models. At the same time, the work takes poverty and anti-poverty worldwide as the coordinates, and carries out reflections and discussions on topics such as rural tourism, multidimensional poverty, educating the masses and cadres, human capital, rural revitalization and rural construction, and urban-rural integration. Documentary and speculation go hand in hand, poetry and reason echo each other, forming the basic pattern of the polyphonic concerto of this work. You can hear the concertos of history and reality, the concerts of the countryside and the city, the concerts of glory and dreams, the concert of the terroir culture with the sandstone Dafenglin as the main symbol and the regional cultural character of Wulingyuan people.

Pop Film and Its Critics in Britain
by Andrew Caine
Andrew Caine details the reaction to British and American pop films during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining the British reception of films such as Rock Around the Clock, Love Me Tender, A Hard Day's Night and Summer Holiday the book provides a valuable insight into British film criticism, teenage culture during the 1950s and 1960s and the generic status of rock films/teen movies and cultural hierarchies. Interpreting rock movies not only contains an extensive account of how the film and music press reacted to rock 'n roll films, but also fully explores issues about taste and distinction within reviewing practices. The movie output of Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and numerous others is located within the context of popular music during the 1950s and 1960s.

Historical fiction2016Time of scattered stones
by Volodymyr Samoylenko
How difficult it is sometimes to separate the present from the days of the past... Who knows how the meeting of former friends will go, and whether it will happen at all?... Who knows... Has it come time to collect stones?... And if so, where to look for those stones? On the territory of the Motherland or in hot Africa? Or maybe in your own future? Questions, questions... Where will you find the answers and are they necessary?... No, the scientist-historian has not reached a final conclusion about this - the main character of the surprisingly subtle novel "The Time of Scattered Stones", a novel that will immerse you in the past, in stormy nineties, and will push out the cynical 2000s. In one day, our hero will cross at least two paths that sometimes run parallel, sometimes cross, and sometimes diverge, never to converge again. Friends, classmates, enemies. Funny modern realities, no less funny, and sometimes tragic events of the past. Crazy adventures, passions, betrayals. Stones, stones, stones... Has it come time to collect it, or maybe that time is still ahead?...
