This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        Cristina juega (Cristina plays)

        by Micaela Chiriff, Paula Ortiz

        Cristina plays starts from a double “game” with the reader: Cristina’s game with her toy (a rabbit) and the game of the play with the reader, whom she seeks to surprise at a time when the scene of Cristina’s game changes, and therefore, the whole perspective of what has been read changes because, from the image, the story is turned upside down and will leave more than one reader thinking. The space of the secret game is practically the center of this book, written in the key of poetry and illustrated with careful attention to each of the details of a dollhouse (one of the scenarios where the action takes place) and attending to a palette of vibrant colors that seek to take us to another time and another space: that of games and toys. This is how from the word and the image this book is a very original proposal.

        Barcelona – Eine Stadt erfindet die Moderne

        by Cristina Mendoza, Eduardo Mendoza, Peter Schwaar

        Wie kaum eine andere europäische Metropole hat Barcelona in den letzten Jahrzehnten den Stadtreisenden angezogen, den Flaneur mit wachem Blick, den die Stadt als ein lebendiges Ganzes interessiert - wo der architektonische Reichtum nur ein Ausdruck des pulsierenden Drangs ist, in der Gegenwart zu leben. Barcelonas ungebrochene Vitalität, die das Alte kontinuierlich in ein Lebensgefühl für das Neue einbettet, ist am stärksten in den Zeugnissen aus der Epoche des katalanischen Modernisme zu finden, in der die Stadt regelrecht explodiert ist. Zwischen der Weltausstellung von 1888 und dem Ersten Weltkrieg erlebte die "unspanischste Stadt Spaniens" abseits der politischen Turbulenzen einen ungeheuren ökonomischen Aufschwung. Intellektuelle Widerspenstigkeit und erstarktes bürgerliches Selbstbewußtsein, Innovationen in den Künsten, radikale Änderungen im Verhaltenskodex, krasse soziale Ungleichheiten - Barcelona erfuhr den Umbruch zur Moderne früher und bewußter als manch andere europäische Großstadt. Wie diese Stadt mit der alles umfassenden Strömung des Modernisme, der stilistisch starke Parallelen zum Jugendstil hat, sich selbst "ein Bild" gab, um dieser neuen Zeit zu entsprechen, das erzählen und zeigen Cristina und Eduardo Mendoza anschaulich. Darüber hinaus ist ihr reichillustriertes Buch eine Kulturgeschichte dieser europäischen Metropole im Übergang vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.

        Ultraviolet Astronomy

        by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.

        This visually-engaging eBook takes a deep dive into the history and science of ultraviolet (UV) astronomy. Astrophysicists find that UV data are of considerable use when they want to study many of the phenomena that occur in distant galaxies, which are often associated with massive black holes at the centers of galaxies. This eBook describes a variety of discoveries in UV astronomy made by space-based observatories since the beginning of the Space Age up to the present day. Ultraviolet Astronomy features notable missions in UV astronomy such as the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), and specialized astronomical observations involving the Wide Field Camera 3 of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

        Cue and Cut

        A practical approach to working in multi-camera studios

        by Roger Singleton-Turner

        Cue & Cut is a 'practical approach to working in television studios' for anyone who might want to work in that medium. It's full of useful information about kit, and how you would use it to create multi-camera content. Written by a multi-camera producer-director with years of drama and teaching experience, it presents both a way of handling studios and a source of information about how things have changed from the days of monochrome to HD tapeless modes - with some thoughts on 3D HDTV The book is firmly based in first-hand teaching experience and experience of producing, direction, floor managing (and so on) and on working with top flight Actors, Writers, Musicians, Designers of all disciplines and Sound and Camera crews, both at the BBC and in ITV. The book will certainly cover multi-camera aspects of Undergraduate, HND and B.Tech courses and should be useful to those on short courses, whether practical or post-graduate.

        Critical perspectives

        by Jonathan Bignell, Stephen Lacey

        Popular television drama: critical perspectives' is a collection of essays examining landmark programmes of the last forty years, from 'Doctor Who' to 'The Office', and from 'The Demon Headmaster' to 'Queer As Folk'. Contributions from prominent academics focus on the full range of popular genres, from sitcoms to science fiction, gothic horror and children's drama, and challenge received wisdom by reconsidering how British television drama can be analysed. Each section is preceded by an introduction in which the editors discuss how the essays address existing problems in the field and also suggest new directions for study. The book is split into three sections, addressing the enduring appeal of popular genres, the notion of 'quality' in television drama, and analysing a range of programmes past and present. Popular television drama: critical perspectives will be of interest to students and researchers in many academic disciplines that study television drama. Its breadth and focus on popular programmes will also appeal to those interested in the shows themselves.

        Mein Sardinien

        Eine Liebesgeschichte

        by Hans-Ulrich Treichel

        Er ist unerlöst, der junge Doktorand aus Berlin, und er leidet unter einer Italiensehnsucht, wie sie vor ihm höchstens Goethe kannte. Auf dem Rückweg von der Philharmonie, wo er als Türschließer arbeitet, betritt er aus Neugier eine italienische Bar auf der Schöneberger Hauptstraße, und auch wenn er hier nicht den Süden findet, so findet er doch Cristina, eine Südsardin mit undurchdringlichem Blick. Wochen später wagt er eine schüchterne Liebeserklärung, und zu seiner eigenen Überraschung werden die beiden ein Paar. Als Cristina beschließt, in ihre Heimat Sardinien zurückzukehren, packt auch er seine Koffer, denn eine Trennung kann er sich nicht vorstellen. Und ist es nicht die Erfüllung eines Traums: künftig in zwei Welten zu leben, in Schöneberg und in Italien? Mit wenig Gepäck und vielen Hoffnungen machen sich die beiden auf den Weg ... Ein Reisebuch, ein Stück Autobiografie, vielleicht ein Roman – in jedem Fall aber eine Liebesgeschichte, die so schön und traurig ist wie die Insel selbst. Heiter, ironisch und melancholisch erzählt Hans-Ulrich Treichel von seinem Sardinien und davon, wie es war, der Sehnsucht nach dem Süden zu folgen.

        Gothic television

        by Helen Wheatley

        Gothic television is the first full length study of the Gothic released on British and US television. An historical account, the book combines detailed archival research with analyses of key programmes, from Mystery and Imagination and Dark Shadows, to The Woman in White and Twin Peaks, and uncovers an aspect of television drama history which has, until now, remained critically unexplored. While some have seen television as too literal or homely a medium to successfully present Gothic fictions, Gothic television argues that the genre, in its many guises, is, and has always been, well-suited to television as a domestic medium, given the genre's obsessions with haunted houses and troubled families. This book will be of interest to lecturers and students across a number of disciplines including television studies, Gothic studies, and adaptation studies, as well as to the general reader with an interest in the Gothic, and in the history of television drama.

        Genre and performance: film and television

        by Christine Cornea

        Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen. Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films.

        Spanish cinema 1973–2010

        Auteurism, politics, landscape and memory

        by Maria M. Delgado, Robin Fiddian

        This collection offers a new lens through which to examine Spain's cinema production following the isolation imposed by the Franco regime. The seventeen key films analysed in the volume span a period of 35 years that have been crucial in the development of Spain, Spanish democracy and Spanish cinema. They encompass different genres (horror, thriller, melodrama, social realism, documentary), both popular (Los abrazos rotos/Broken Embraces, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and more select art house fare (En la ciudad de Sylvia/In the City of Sylvia, El espíritu de la colmena/Spirit of the Beehive) and are made in English (as both first and second language), Basque, Castilian, Catalan and French. Offering an expanded understanding of 'national' cinemas, the volume explores key works by Guillermo del Toro and Lucrecia Martel alongside an examination of the ways in which established auteurs (Almodóvar, José Garci, Carlos Saura) and younger generations of filmmakers (Cesc Gay, Amenábar, Bollaín) have harnessed cinematic language towards a commentary on the nation-state. The result is a bold new study of the ways in which film has created new prisms that have determined how Spain is positioned in the global marketplace.
