The ArtsApril 2011Roy Ward Baker
by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;

Eine Insel-Saga
by Roy Jacobsen, Gabriele Haefs, Andreas Brunstermann
Barrøy – so heißt die kleine Insel vor Norwegens atemberaubender Küste, auf der Ingrid aufwächst, fernab der übrigen Welt. Bis eines Tages der mörderische Weltkrieg den verschlafenen Ort einholt: Der Kriegsgefangene Alexander, ein Russe, findet nach einem tragischen Schiffsunglück Zuflucht auf der Insel. Ingrid verliebt sich in den schweigsamen Mann, doch ihre Liebe kann nur kurz währen, bis die deutschen Besatzer Alexander inhaftieren. Neun Monate später bekommt Ingrid eine Tochter. Der Krieg ist nun vorbei, das Land will nichts anderes als vergessen. Doch Ingrid kann Alexander nicht vergessen. Mit Kaja vor den Bauch gebunden, macht sie sich auf die Reise durch ein kriegserschüttertes Land, auf der Suche nach Alexander, ihrer großen Liebe. Roy Jacobsens Insel-Saga erzählt, auch vor dem Hintergrund deutscher Geschichte, mit außergewöhnlichem Sog vom Leben einer Familie in überwältigender Natur, von starken, eigenwilligen Frauen, von Schuld und Kollaboration.

Forestry & related industriesSeptember 2002Environmental Change and Geomorphic Hazards in Forests
by Roy C Sidle
Environmental and climate change is affecting forests and land use in numerous ways, including increasing the risk of geomorphic hazards. Such hazards include surface erosion, desertification and related land degradation. Yet it is often difficult to distinguish between the influences of climate change from those of changing forest land use, on geomorphic hazards.This volume reviews current knowlege on these issues.
