Book excerpt: The story tells of two men, one (Matthew Kumalo) bent on disrupting the stretch of Rhodesia Railways track south of Victoria Falls and towards Bulawayo in the south, harassing and murdering railway staff, and the other in protecting the same and keeping traffic flowing. Phillip Lewis, was the railway civil engineer in charge of keeping the vital railway lines open in the face of the continued terrorist attacks. Joanna Wilson, working as a reporter on the South African Johannesburg Star newspaper, was the woman that Phillip had never got out of his system. She revisits Rhodesia with a South African media group to report on the war presently raging across the country. Simultaneously the ZANLA forces of Robert Mugabe, working out of Mozambique, are planning to destroy the road/rail bridge over the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls, chiefly to prevent Joshua Nkomo's Russian tanks crossing from Zambia into Rhodesia where they could potentially be used against Mugabe's ZANU party. The war of terror subsequently leads to Phillip and Joanna being isolated and pursued through the bush leaving Phillip with life-changing decisions to make. The Author Tom Bryer, OLM, C.Eng.

Book Synopsis Understanding Video Game Music by : Tim Summers
Download or read book Understanding Video Game Music written by Tim Summers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Video Game Music develops a musicology of video game music by providing methods and concepts for understanding music in this medium. From the practicalities of investigating the video game as a musical source to the critical perspectives on game music - using examples including Final Fantasy VII, Monkey Island 2, SSX Tricky and Silent Hill - these explorations not only illuminate aspects of game music, but also provide conceptual ideas valuable for future analysis. Music is not a redundant echo of other textual levels of the game, but central to the experience of interacting with video games. As the author likes to describe it, this book is about music for racing a rally car, music for evading zombies, music for dancing, music for solving puzzles, music for saving the Earth from aliens, music for managing a city, music for being a hero; in short, it is about music for playing.

Book excerpt: The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly). The men on board the HMS Terror — part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage — are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in. “The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years.” —Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe

Book Synopsis Music and Levels of Narration in Film by : Guido Heldt
Download or read book Music and Levels of Narration in Film written by Guido Heldt and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2013 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music and Levels of Narration in Film is the first book-length study to synthesize scholarly contributions toward a narrative theory of film music. Moving beyond the distinction between diegetic and nondiegetic music--or music that is not understood as part of a film's "story world"--Guido Heldt systematically discusses music at different levels of narration, from the extrafictional to "focalizations" of subjectivity. Heldt then applies this conceptual toolkit to study the narrative strategies of music in individual films, as well as genres, including musicals and horror films. The resulting volume will be an indispensable resource for anyone researching or studying film music or film narratology.

Book Synopsis Ruminations, Peregrinations, and Regenerations by : Christopher J. Hansen
Download or read book Ruminations, Peregrinations, and Regenerations written by Christopher J. Hansen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-08 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peregrinations, Ruminations, and Regenerations: A Critical Approach to Doctor Who examines the famous BBC science fiction show as a cultural artifact in dialogue with other science fiction, with politics and religion, and with the culture at large, both in terms of how it reflects and comments upon that culture and in terms of the audience and the peculiarities of its response. This book enables researchers in film and media to make historical, industrial, aesthetic, and ideological connections between and among Doctor Who and other shows and historical events since its inception in 1963. This volume is a new entry in a relatively new area. As the young fans of Doctor Who have matured, and as many have become scholars, they are returning to the show to consider it from a scholarly perspective. It is also of use in the media studies classroom to address directly the issues presented by the longest running science fiction show in the history of the medium. Peregrinations, Ruminations, and Regenerations considers not only cultural ramifications and connections, but audience studies as well.
Book Synopsis Journeys into Terror by : Cynthia J. Miller
Download or read book Journeys into Terror written by Cynthia J. Miller and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times, explorers and adventurers have captured popular imagination with their frightening narratives of travels gone wrong. Usually, these stories heavily feature the exotic or unknown, and can transform any journey into a nightmare. Stories of such horrific happenings have a long and rich history that stretches from folktales to contemporary media narratives. This work presents eighteen essays that explore the ways in which these texts reflect and shape our fear and fascination surrounding travel, posing new questions about the "geographies of evil" and how our notions of "terrible places" and their inhabitants change over time. The volume's five thematic sections offer new insights into how power, privilege, uncanny landscapes, misbegotten quests, hellish commutes and deadly vacations can turn our travels into terror.
