Download or read book Michael Mann written by Steven Rybin and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Mann first made his mark as a writer for such television programs as Starsky and Hutch, Police Story, and Vegas. In 1981 he made his feature film directing debut with the James Caan thriller Thief, and in the 1980s he served as a writer and executive producer for the groundbreaking programs Miami Vice and Crime Story. Though he has delved into other genres, Mann’s career as a writer, producer, and director has consistently focused on criminal activity, from small-time hoods and professional thieves to corporate manipulators and serial killers. In Michael Mann: Crime Auteur, Steven Rybin looks at the television programs and films that Mann has stamped with his personal signature. This book closely examines the themes and techniques used in films such as Manhunter, Heat, The Insider, and Collateral and connects these elements to his work on the non-genre films The Last of the Mohicans and Ali. A revised and significantly expanded edition of The Cinema of Michael Mann (2007), this book includes new chapters on Public Enemies and the big screen version of Miami Vice, as well as Mann’s work on the shows Crime Story and Luck. Covering Mann’s entire career, this book will be of interest to fans of the writer/director’s body of work as well as to scholars of both film and television.

Book Synopsis Propaganda and American Democracy by : Nancy Snow
Download or read book Propaganda and American Democracy written by Nancy Snow and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propaganda has become an inescapable part of modern American society. On a daily basis, news outlets, politicians, and the entertainment industry -- with motives both dubious and well-intentioned -- launch propagandistic appeals. In Propaganda and American Democracy, eight writers explore various aspects of modern propaganda and its impact. Contributors include leading scholars in the field of propaganda studies: Anthony Pratkanis tackles the thorny issue of the inherent morality of propaganda; J. Michael Sproule explores the extent to which propaganda permeates the U.S. news media; and Randal Marlin charts the methods used to identify, research, and reform the use of propaganda in the public sphere. Other chapters incorporate a strong historical component. Mordecai Lee deftly analyzes the role of wartime propaganda, while Dan Kuehl provides an astute commentary on former and current practices, and Garth S. Jowett investigates how Hollywood has been used as a vehicle for propaganda. In a more personal vein, Asra Q. Nomani recounts her journalistic role in the highly calculated and tragic example of the ultimate act of anti-American propaganda perpetrated by al-Qaeda and carried out against her former colleague, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Propaganda and American Democracy offers an in-depth examination and demonstration of the pervasiveness of propaganda, providing citizens with the knowledge needed to mediate its effect on their lives.Edited by Nancy Snow

Book Synopsis Smugglers' Blues by : Charles W. Foerg
Download or read book Smugglers' Blues written by Charles W. Foerg and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smugglersa Blues is not about big drug cartels that make the evening news. It is about freelance smugglers who operate in the shadows of the law and how they succeed but inevitably are caught by the corruption and deception inherent in the business. Motivated by the lure of big money, the twisted underworld of drug trafficking is faithfully exposed. Deception, intrigue, and violence create a trail of disaster from the first conspiracy to the last closing argument. Smugglersa Blues is a last-man-standing tale full of surprises, tears, and a few laughs. The action starts in an isolated province in Columbia and moves to Miami and Chicago. An aspiring drug smuggler develops a plot to fly 400 kilos of cocaine into Florida. He marshals an unsavory supporting cast and the action begins. From a daring airborne escape from a federal prison to a bad deal gone sour, the twists and turns of the plot keep the reader on edge.
