Download or read book Cancun Cozumel Yucatan Peninsula 98 written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997-08-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "M. Night Shyamalan seemed to have it all. He'd directed a string of hit movies for Disney, beginning with the supernatural thriller The Sixth Sense, which had brought in over two billion dollars around the world. He had a beautiful wife, a loving family, a house with its own theater - the whole thing. People were calling him "the next Spielberg." Then he wrote a screenplay called Lady in the Water." "It was a fairy tale, really, an adaptation of a bedtime story he had invented for his young daughters. But when the bosses at Disney read the script, they told him they "didn't get it." Night felt he knew what they were really thinking: This guy has lost his mind. He boldly decided to leave the safety of his longtime filmmaking home and find new partners who would understand his odd story and idiosyncratic self. Night needed people who would help him make the most daring, ambitious, and deeply personal picture of his life." "He had panic attacks all along - while writing, while casting, while directing. For his hero, he didn't want a proven box-office star like Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise, but the brilliant but lesser-known Paul Giamatti. He wanted Lady filmed in a lush style by a wild man cinematographer that no director had ever tamed. And he wanted the movie to open on seven thousand screens across the world at the height of the summer popcorn season." "In The Man Who Heard Voices, Michael Bamberger takes you deep into Night's world during the creation of Lady in the Water. Based on nearly two years of exclusive, intimate reporting, Bamberger's book takes the cover off the secretive director's inspiring methods: handpicking a cast and crew he can mold into a temporary family; weighing on-the-set choices that will define his movie forever; and leading, even when he's lost. Most important, Bamberger penetrates the mind and artistic vision of a creative genius working at the peak of his powers, driven to bring his vision to the screen by the voices of creation - and self-doubt - that forever haunt him."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Los Angeles 98 written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Translated here for the first time into any language, Mountain Doctrine, Ocean of Definitive Meaning: Final Unique Quintessential Instructions is a seminal fourteenth-century Tibetan text on the nature of reality. The author, Dol-bo-ba Shay-rap-gyel-tsen, was one of the most influential figures of that dynamic period of doctrinal formulation and his text is a sustained argument about the buddha-nature, also called the matrix-of-one-gone-thus." "Dol-bo-ba recognizes two important types of emptiness - self-emptiness and other-emptiness - and shows how other-emptiness is the actual ultimate truth. He justifies this controversial formulation by arguing that it was the favored system of all the early outstanding figures of the great vehicle and by showing how important these doctrines were in India." "The translator's introduction includes a short biography of Dol-bo-ba and an exposition of nine focal topics in his religious philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Fodor s China written by Nancy Van Itallie and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1998 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Cultural Revolution was a watershed event in the history of the People's Republic of China, the defining decade of half a century of communist rule. Before 1966, China was a typical communist state, with a command economy and a powerful party able to keep the population under control. But during the Cultural Revolution, in a move unprecedented in any communist country, Mao unleashed the Red Guards against the party. Tens of thousands of officials were humiliated, tortured, and even killed. Order had to be restored by the military, whose methods were often equally brutal." "Roderick MacFarquhar and Michael Schoenhals explain why Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and show his Machiavellian role in masterminding it (which Chinese publications conceal). In often horrifying detail, they document the Hobbesian state that ensued. The movement veered out of control and terror paralyzed the country. Power struggles raged among Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Qing - Mao's wife and leader of the Gang of Four - while Mao often played one against the other." "After Mao's death, in reaction to the killing and the chaos, Deng Xiaoping led China into a reform era in which capitalism flourishes and the party has lost its former authority. In its critical analysis of Chairman Mao and its portrait of a culture in turmoil, Mao's Last Revolution offers the most authoritative and compelling account to date of this seminal event in the history of China."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: "Helen Caldicott reveals in this look at the costs and consequences of nuclear energy, the facts belie the incessant barrage of nuclear industry propaganda. In fact, nuclear power actually contributes to global warming; the true cost of nuclear power is prohibitive, with taxpayers picking up most of the tab; there's simply not enough uranium in the world to sustain nuclear power over the long term; and the potential for a catastrophic accident or a terrorist attack far outweighs any benefits."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Alaska 98 written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997-12-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book examines what speakers try to achieve by producing 'laughter-talk' (the talk preceding and eliciting an episode of laughter) and, using abundant examples from language corpora, what hearers are signalling when they produce laughter. In particular, the author focuses on the tactical use of laughter-talk to achieve specific rhetorical and strategic ends: for example, to construct an identity, to make an argumentative point, to threaten someone else's face or save one's own. Although laughter and humour are by no means always related, the book also considers the implications these corpus-based observations may have about humour theory in general."--BOOK JACKET.
