 stock image, actual book may vary Set in Arizona, Smoke Signals is the story of two Native American boys on a journey. Victor is the stoic, handsome son of an alcoholic father who has abandoned his family. Thomas is a gregarious, goofy young man who lost both his parents in a fire at a very young age. Through storytelling, Thomas makes every effort to connect with the people around him: Victor, in contrast, uses his quiet countenance to gain strength and confidence. When Victor's estranged father dies, the two men embark on an adventure to Phoenix to collect the ashes. Along the way, Smoke Signals illustrates the ties that bind these two very different young men and embraces the lessons they learn from one another.

 stock image, actual book may vary Summer is crunch time in Hollywood. It is the season when studios roll out their most expensive, effects-laden pictures in a feverish race to win the box-office derby. The magnitude of the wagers is astonishing. Each summer there are at least a dozen movies costing between 100 million and 200 million to produce and market. As one blockbuster after another opens to a massive publicity fusillade, careers are made and lost in the same weekend. Yet the spoils of victory are enticing. A studio may see its summer movies gross in excess of 500 million in the U.S. alone in two short months. Vast riches in the form of bonuses, gross percentages, and other perks rain down upon those who gambled wisely. Filmmakers and stars who figure in the summer hits come away with the power to squander untold millions on their future projects and to compete yet again in next summer's sweepstakes. In The Gross , Peter Bart, editor-in-chief of Variety , puts the spotlight on the summer of 1998. He takes us through the entire cycle of would-be summer blockbusters, from script through casting and production and finally into release. He gives an in-depth account of the making of such films as Saving Private Ryan , Deep Impact , Godzilla , Armageddon , and There's Something About Mary . And, most important, he shows us why some succeeded and others failed. The cast of characters in The Gross includes the most important and powerful names in Hollywood. Dozens of actors, directors, producers, agents, and studio heads--from Steven Spielberg and Mel Gibson to Warren Beatty and Michael Eisner--all talked at length to Bart. Through these interviews, as well as exhaustive reporting, the author gives us a revealing portrait of how today's movies get made. We also learn the real meaning of the summer season in Hollywood. Can quality movies survive in this pressure cooker? Has an atmosphere been created where only the worst rises to the top? Can the artistic process be managed by multinational corporations? Peter Part, the ultimate Hollywood insider, answers these questions and much more in The Gross: The Hits, The Flops--The Summer That Ate Hollywood .

 stock image, actual book may vary Two of Hollywood's major players come together to share their insights and anecdotes about the art and business of filmmaking in the twenty-first century. Inspired by the graduate course that they have taught at the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, Shoot Out is animated by observations from more than three decades in Hollywood. As Peter Bart and Peter Guber follow the path from the "eureka" of the original idea until the denouement of its appearance on late-night television, the driving force behind the narrative is the ever-present "shoot out"-the standoffs and confrontations, entanglements and dilemmas as writers, directors, producers, stars, and agents vie to put forward their own-often conflicting-agendas in the search for the Holy Grail. From the rise and fall of the studio system to the emergence of stars as entrepreneurs to the dynamic role of the independents, Shoot Out draws on a vision of the future as well as the repeated and often unheeded lessons of the past.

 stock image, actual book may vary The Lord of the Rings is intended to be applicable to the real world of relationships, religion, pleasure, pain, and politics. Tolkien himself said that his grand tale of wizards, orcs, hobbits, and elves was aimed at truth and good morals in the actual world. Analysis of the popular appeal of The Lord of the Rings on websites and elsewhere shows that Tolkien fans are hungry for discussion of the urgent moral and cosmological issues arising out of this fantastic epic story. Can political power be wielded for good, or must it always corrupt? Does technology destroy the truly human? Is it morally wrong to give up hope? Can we find meaning in chance events? In The Lord of the Rings and Philosophy, seventeen young philosophy professors, all of them ardent Tolkien fans and most of them contributors to the four earlier volumes in the Popular Culture and Philosophy series, address some of these important issues and show how clues to their solutions may be found in the imaginary world of Middle-earth. The book is divided into five sections, concerned with Power and the Ring, the Quest for Happiness, Good and Evil in Middle-earth, Time and Mortality, and the Relevance

 stock image, actual book may vary Looking at the figures for movie attendance in the 1930s, one might conclude that the America of the Great Depression was a land of Bijous, Gems, Orpheums, Strands, and Rivieras. Americans needed their movies, as Mr. Bergman notes, and they needed them not just for escape. In We're in the Money , Mr. Bergman looks at the films of the thirties many of them which we now regard as classics and shows how Hollywood helped prop up the nation's fundamental institutions during the gravest economic crisis in history. Movies, he demonstrates, kept alive the myth of a mobile and classless society, focused on the endless possibilities for individual success, turned social evil into personal evil, and made the New Deal into a veritable leading man. "The kind of book that both old film buffs and the new post-grads of Sesame Street' can really enjoy. It makes history fun, enables teachers and kids to test out their own assumptions about how the 30s turned out the gangsters, the hi-steppers, the FBI gurus, the zany anarchists and the mythical down-on-the-farm good guys who took on the whole punchy and reeling microcosm of America." Robert Geller, Center for Understanding Media. "First rate. It should stand for a long time as a pioneer work in a field where all too little has been written." Alfred B. Rollins, Jr.
