Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The release of Skyfall in 2012 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the James Bond film franchise. It earned over one billion dollars in the worldwide box office and won two Academy Awards. Amid popular and critical acclaim, some have questioned the representation of women in the film. From an aging M to the limited role of the Bond Girl and the characterization of Miss Moneypenny as a defunct field agent, Skyfall develops the legacy of Bond at the expense of women. Since Casino Royale (2006) and its sequels Quantum of Solace (2008) and Skyfall constitute a reboot of the franchise, it is time to question whether there is a place for women in the new world of James Bond and what role they will play in the future of series. This volume answers these questions by examining the role that women have historically played in the franchise, which greatly contributed to the international success of the films. This academic study constitutes the first book-length anthology on femininity and feminism in the Bond series. It covers all twenty-three Eon productions as well as the spoof Casino Royale (1967), considering a range of factors that have shaped the depiction of women in the franchise, including female characterization in Ian Fleming's novels; the vision of producer Albert R. Broccoli and other creative personnel; the influence of feminism; and broader trends in British and American film and television. The volume provides a timely look at women in the Bond franchise and offers new scholarly perspectives on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Husbands have received God's call to love their wives in the same way Christ loves His Bride, the Church. When a husband displays this kind of love in his marriage, he goes against the grain of our humanity. He engages in behavior many would consider revolutionary in today's society. More significantly, when a husband loves his wife as Christ loves the Church, he brings great joy and sweet peace to his home and marriage. For His Eyes Only is a devotional workbook and prayer guide to help husbands live out the Christ-like, revolutionary love God intends for marriage. The short chapters in For His Eyes Only provide husbands straightforward, practical advice to help them become the husbands God has called them to become. Each chapter includes questions and action tips to help husbands put the principles of God's design into daily practice. The chapters end with a simple prayer asking God to help us love our wives with a Christ-like love.

Download or read book Geographies Genders and Geopolitics of James Bond written by Lisa Funnell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the representational geographies of the Bond film franchise and how they inform our reading of 007 as a hero. Offering a new and interdisciplinary lens through which the franchise can be analyzed, Funnell and Dodds explore a range of topics that have been largely, if not entirely, overlooked in Bond film scholarship. These topics include: the shifting and gendering of geopolitical relations; the differing depiction and evaluation of vertical/modern and horizontal/pre-modern spaces; the use of classical elements in defining gender, sexuality, heroic competency, and geopolitical conflict; and the ongoing importance of haptics (i.e. touch), kinesics (i.e. movement), and proxemics (i.e. the use of space) in defining the embodied and emotive world of Bond. This book is comprehensive in nature and scope as it discusses all 24 films in the official Bond canon and theorizes about the future direction of the franchise.

Lifetime ambition aside, she wanted him. And that terrified her more than the danger that was closing in .
