Henry Bumstead and the World of Hollywood Art Direction by Andrew Horton, ISBN 0292705190
"Dear Bummy, You take the BS out of filmmaking!"--Clint Eastwood's comment on Henry Bumstead's receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Art Directors"Making a movie with Bummy was always a pleasure because it was like going to work with a good friend who also had a fine, artistic eye, who shared your vision, and who knew infinitely more about the practical nuts-and-bolts business of putting a story on camera than you did. . . . Everything he designed served the movie. He knew how to visually bring it to life."--Robert MulliganFrom a hotel in Marrakech in The Man Who Knew Too Much, to small-town Alabama in To Kill a Mockingbird, to Mission Control in Space Cowboys, creating a fictional, yet wholly believable world in which to film a movie has been the passion and life's work of Henry Bumstead, one of Hollywood's most celebrated production designers. In a career that has spanned nearly seventy years, Bumstead has worked on more than...

Secular Steeples: Popular Culture and the Religious Imagination by Ostwalt, Conrad, Jr., ISBN 1563383616
In Secular Steeples, Conrad Ostwalt challenges long-held assumptions about the relationship between religion and culture and about the impact of secularization. This book tries to move away from the idea that religion will diminish as secularization continues. Instead, Ostwalt guides us along a busy two-way street, where religions and secular views interact and enrich each other.
Ostwalt contends that secularization has not and will not destroy religion, despite the promise of the Enlightenment to free society from religions confines. He points out that secularization does shift the authority to express religious ideals from traditional places to other cultural forms such as the government, entertainment, or media. He challenges the often repeated assumption that Europe is more secularized than America; secularization is a reality in both to the same degree, but proceeds in distinctly different ways.
Religious institutions, he says, use secular and popular cultural forms like television,...

Mediated Identity in the Emerging Digital Age: A Dialogical Perspective: A Special Issue of Identity
The several contributions in this issue illustrate the process of mediated dialogue in a digital age. The first article shows that culture and self-like society and identity-are conceived as mutually inclusive. The next paper shows how technology is able to create a new form of dialogue that is very personal and very public at the same time. The authors of the third paper are interested in the field of education in which they observe a dichotomy between individualistic and contextual concepts of learning. Next, Short Message Service-a rapidly growing medium of communication, particularly popular in circles of young people in Europe and increasingly in North America and elsewhere-is covered. The last two papers focus on television which is seen as a "social space" that offers a variety of possible self-images through audience discussion programs, its participants, and the disclosure of private stories and historical changes in the notion of space.

Crime is Not the Problem: Lethal Violence in America by Franklin E. Zimring, ISBN 0195131053
In Crime is Not the Problem, Franklin Zimring and Gordon Hawkins revolutionize the way we think about crime and violence -- by forcing us to distinguish between crime and violence. The authors reveal that compared to other industrialized nations, in most categories of nonviolent crime, American crime rates are comparable -- even lower, in some cases. Only when it comes to lethal violence does the United States outpace other Western nations, with homicide rates many, many times greater. London and New York City have hearty the same number of robberies and burglaries each year, but robbers and burglars kill fifty-four victims in New York for every victim death in London.
Why are the risks so much greater that victims will be killed or maimed in the United States? And what can be done to bring the death rate from American violence down to tolerable levers? The authors show how the impact of television and movie violence on rates of homicide is wildly overrated, but emphasize the paramount...
