    <![CDATA[First published in 1977, this popular book has become the source on film and media. Now, James Monaco offers a revised and rewritten third edition incorporating every major aspect of this dynamic medium right up to the present.  Looking at film from many vantage points, How to Read a Film: Movies, Media, Multimedia explores the medium as both art and craft, sensibility and science, tradition and technology. After examining film's close relation to such other narrative media as the novel, painting, photography, television, and even music, Monaco discusses those elements necessary to understand how films convey meaning and, more importantly, how we can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate.  In a key departure from the book's previous editions, the new and still-evolving digital context of film is now emphasized throughout How to Read a Film. A new chapter on multimedia brings media criticism into the twenty-first century with a thorough discussion of topics like virtual reality, cyberspace, and the proximity of both to film. Monaco has likewise doubled the size and scope of his &quot;Film and Media: A Chronology&quot; appendix. The book also features a new introduction, an expanded bibliography, and hundreds of illustrative black-and-white film stills and diagrams. It is a must for all film students, media buffs, and movie fans.]]>

    <![CDATA[Richard Gilman referred to How to Read a Film as simply &quot;the best single work of its kind.&quot; And Janet Maslin in The New York Times Book Review marveled at James Monaco's ability to collect &quot;an enormous amount of useful information and assemble it in an exhilaratingly simple and systematic way.&quot; Indeed, since its original publication in 1977, this hugely popular book has become the definitive source on film and media.        Now, James Monaco offers a special anniversary edition of his classic work, featuring a new preface and several new sections, including an &quot;Essential Library: One Hundred Books About Film and Media You Should Read&quot; and &quot;One Hundred Films You Should See.&quot;  As in previous editions, Monaco once again looks at film from many vantage points, as both art and craft, sensibility and science, tradition and technology. After examining film's close relation to other narrative media such as the novel, painting, photography, television, and even music, the book discusses the elements necessary to understand how films convey meaning, and, more importantly, how we can best discern all that a film is attempting to communicate. In addition, Monaco stresses the still-evolving digital context of film throughout--one of the new sections looks at the untrustworthy nature of digital images and sound--and his chapter on multimedia brings media criticism into the twenty-first century with a thorough discussion of topics like virtual reality, cyberspace, and the proximity of both to film.         With hundreds of illustrative black-and-white film stills and diagrams, How to Read a Film is an indispensable addition to the library of everyone who loves the cinema and wants to understand it better.]]>

    <![CDATA[Three decades after its first publication, The New Wave is still considered one of the fundamental texts on the French film movement of the same name. Led by filmmakers as influential as Truffaut and Godard, the New Wave was a seminal moment in cinematic history, and The New Wave has been hailed as the most complete book ever written about it.<br/>The New Wave tells the story of the New Wave through examinations of five of the most important directors of the era: Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol, Rohmer, and Rivette. With detailed notes and over fifty breathtaking stills, the book has appealed both to academics and interested novices alike.<br/>The thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author.<br/><br/>Praise for the first edition of The New Wave:<br/>“The most complete book I know on the five most important directors of the New Wave.”—Costa-Gavras<br/><br/>“At last a book that intelligently and critically examines that remarkable phenomenon known as the New Wave. Not just a book for film buffs, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the interrelations between art, politics, and life in the second half of the twentieth century. A remarkable achievement.”<br/>															  —Richard Roud, Founder, New York Film Festival<br/><br/>“There is a genuine kind of honesty at work in the writing: a sense that the author wishes to describe the subject more clearly, help the reader, and not ‘explain’ (in the pompous sense of the word) or criticize for the sake of being superior. It’s refreshing.”																			—Ted Perry, Museum of Modern Art<br/><br/>About the author:<br/> James Monaco is author or editor of more than a dozen books on film and media, published in more than 35 editions, including American Film Now, The New Wave, The Connoisseurs’ Guide to the Movies, The Film Encyclopedia, Media Culture, and Celebrity. He is president of UNET 2 Corporation, a developer of Internet software, and publisher of websites and DVD-Videos. He is also the founder of Baseline, the worldwide information source for the entertainment business. An experienced TV talk show guest and radio commentator, Monaco is also well-known as a pioneer of the electronic publishing industry.]]>

    <![CDATA[First published in YR 190 (1982 AD), this reproduction of the unusual calendar introduced by the French Revolution won awards for the graphics by David Lindroth.  <p>We found a bunch in the basement and--since the French Revolutionary Calendar is the same every year, we decided to offer these first editions for sale again. We gaurantee it is the most unusual calendar you've ever seen.   <p>In 1792 the French revolutionaries had a better idea: an entirely new calendar, free of unreason, superstition, and tyranny! This is an authentic reproduction of that calendar, designed during the revolution and in use for 13 years thereafter.   <p>There are 12 equal months of thirty days, each divided into three &quot;weeks&quot; of ten days each. (At last you'll be able to get something done by the end of the week. . . before your regular four-day weekend!) The FRC is perpetual, so you won't have to buy a new one every year. And, best of all, each year has an extra &quot;intercalary&quot; period of five days at the end of the year to bring the total number of days to 365. These are holidays from time. They have no day names, so you don't have to account for them.  <p>There's an introduction to explain the novel story of the FRC and the history of calendars in general. And, yes, you'll find a correlation to the Gregorian calendar--so you can keep track of the rest of the world!</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ Filmschaffende, Journalisten, Studenten oder Kinobegeisterte -- James Monacos <em>Film verstehen</em> ist ein Werk, das man getrost allen empfehlen kann, die sich beruflich oder privat ausführlicher mit Film beschäftigen und die nachvollziehen wollen, wie Kino funktioniert und welcher technischen oder künstlerischen Grundlagen es sich bedient. Es gibt wohl kein Buch, dass sich besser zur Einführung in die Theorie des Films eignet als dieser zu Recht von vielen Fachleuten zum Standardwerk erklärte Band.<p>  So ziemlich alles was Film ausmacht wird erläutert: Praxisaspekte wie Kamera oder Ton, das Wesen des Films als Kunstform, die Möglichkeiten des filmischen Ausdrucks. Dazu kommt ein historischer Abriss über die Entwicklung des Kinos, die Position des Films im Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Medien und als Novum in der 2000er Auflage ein Kapitel über die digitale Multimedia-Welt.<p>  Bei einer solchen Menge an Stoff werden die einzelnen Punkte natürlich eher oberflächlich abgehandelt, aber genau darin liegt auch der Sinn des Buches: Es soll eine grundlegende Einführung in die vielfältigen Aspekte des Films sein. Vertiefen kann man die so gewonnenen Erkenntnisse immer noch anhand anderer Spezialbücher, als Basiswissen ist der Inhalt von <em>Film verstehen</em> jedoch unabdingbar. Da stört es auch nicht, dass Monaco bei seinen Beispielen eher dem (etwas älteren) künstlerischen denn dem neuen populären Kino zugewandt ist.<p>  Neben diesem Buch sollte noch Monacos Lexikon <em>Film und Neue Medien</em> im Regal stehen, das in idealer Ergänzung zum vorliegenden Band Begriffe aus der Filmbranche in A-Z-Form erläutert. Alsdann kann kaum noch etwas schief gehen im Bemühen, Filme nicht nur zu sehen, sondern auch zu verstehen. <em>--Joachim Hohwieler</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ Filmschaffende, Journalisten, Studenten oder Kinobegeisterte -- James Monacos <em>Film verstehen</em> ist ein Werk, das man getrost allen empfehlen kann, die sich beruflich oder privat ausführlicher mit Film beschäftigen und die nachvollziehen wollen, wie Kino funktioniert und welcher technischen oder künstlerischen Grundlagen es sich bedient. Es gibt wohl kein Buch, dass sich besser zur Einführung in die Theorie des Films eignet als dieser zu Recht von vielen Fachleuten zum Standardwerk erklärte Band.<p>  So ziemlich alles was Film ausmacht wird erläutert: Praxisaspekte wie Kamera oder Ton, das Wesen des Films als Kunstform, die Möglichkeiten des filmischen Ausdrucks. Dazu kommt ein historischer Abriss über die Entwicklung des Kinos, die Position des Films im Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Medien und als Novum in der 2000er Auflage ein Kapitel über die digitale Multimedia-Welt.<p>  Bei einer solchen Menge an Stoff werden die einzelnen Punkte natürlich eher oberflächlich abgehandelt, aber genau darin liegt auch der Sinn des Buches: Es soll eine grundlegende Einführung in die vielfältigen Aspekte des Films sein. Vertiefen kann man die so gewonnenen Erkenntnisse immer noch anhand anderer Spezialbücher, als Basiswissen ist der Inhalt von <em>Film verstehen</em> jedoch unabdingbar. Da stört es auch nicht, dass Monaco bei seinen Beispielen eher dem (etwas älteren) künstlerischen denn dem neuen populären Kino zugewandt ist.<p>  Neben diesem Buch sollte noch Monacos Lexikon <em>Film und Neue Medien</em> im Regal stehen, das in idealer Ergänzung zum vorliegenden Band Begriffe aus der Filmbranche in A-Z-Form erläutert. Alsdann kann kaum noch etwas schief gehen im Bemühen, Filme nicht nur zu sehen, sondern auch zu verstehen. <em>--Joachim Hohwieler</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[There are few films with a history as dramatically riveting as that of Salt of the Earth. Made during the height of the McCarthy era by a group of blacklisted filmmakers who were among the best and the brightest Hollywood talent of the day, Salt of the Earth is a politically and emotionally charged feature-length film. Now, Harbor Electronic Publishing is proud to offer the 50th Anniversary edition of Salt of the Earth: The Story of a Film. Director Herbert Biberman’s eloquent, dramatic account of the making of the film tells a story every bit as powerful as the film itself. It is an important piece of both film history and American history.<br/><br/>The twelve-year struggle to bring Salt of the Earth to the American people is a graphic record of the ravages of McCarthyism, and Biberman spares no one in his account of it. His story, however, is not one of despair because he found—in the darkest moments—men of deep courage and conviction.<br/><br/>This 50th Anniversary edition—complete with stills from the film and with a new introduction by James Monaco—restores to circulation what is likely the most important “making of” book ever published. It is a story of true heroism and remarkable courage.<br/><br/>]]>
