Chris Darke assesses whether the last decade of the 20th century was one in which cinema, as a medium and collective experience, became part of the converging field of multi-media and whether we need to consider new possibilities for the moving image.

A superb collection of short stories that celebrate the power of the written word. Giving an innovative take on the many forms of reading that bombard us in our everyday lives - from e- to junk-mail, gardening to cookbooks, tourist guides to romance novels - these stories play with them all. They illuminate the gap between living and reading, that moment when words become light. These stories are funny, wise, moving and compulsive. They are examples of 'light reading' in their accessibility, but there is also depth and a beautiful style, offering the very best in literary reading.

The study reported here relates to the possibility that behind-the-lens meters in 35mm cameras might facilitate the taking of colored slides by simplifying the technique for determining exposure. A series of test slides, representing various types of slides used in technical training classes, briefings, and presentations was made and evaluated. These pictures included indoor shots of charts, graphs, newspaper clippings, colored posters, and live subjects. The data indicate that exposure estimates obtained from behind-the-lens meters vary significantly from those obtained from incident light meters. In approximately one-half of the 48 cases compared, the difference was at least one f-stop. The difference was not systematic but varied in both degree and direction. When viewing the slides in pairs, both a group of 37 university students and a group of 17 adult members of a photography club exhibited a strong tendency to find the slide based on the incident light meter to be more acceptable than the slide based on the behind-the-lens meter.

In this classic study, Harvard professor Reuben Brower guides the reader from noticing the alluring details of a well-made poem, novel, or play to attending to the encompassing ways in which the writing achieves its greatness. "Not only does Brower begin his book with a lyric, but he deliberately chooses a very short one indeed, as if to show how much can be said about the smallest of poetic 'figures' looked at closely. The poem is "The Sick Rose", one of William Blake's best-known songs of experience ... Brower's task is to show how the poem is 'imaginatively organized,' by which he means that, to read it, we must sense the 'extraordinary interconnectedness among a relatively large number of different items of experience." -- From the Foreword by William H Pritchard

It is not only the Catholics who attend Sunday Mass, but also the priests who preach at Mass who feel overwhelmed by the three scripture readings in which for the most part only the first from the Old Testament and the third from the Gospel have any interconnection, while the second from the apostolic letters stands by itself. This book seeks to present the common theses that connect all three of the readings for Sundays and feasts of the Lord in the three year cycle of readings. The reflections here are meant to be theological and spiritual suggestions that the one who is preaching can develop further and from which he can select individual perspectives. Rather than seeking immediately concrete applications, Fr. von Balthasar attempts to elucidate the content which is immediately present in the passages. Organized by each Sunday and feast day of the liturgical year for years A, B, & C, these reflections are meant to be theological and spiritual suggestions that the one who is preaching can develop further and from which he can select individual perspectives.

What are Christians filling their minds with in order to stand strong in this present age of postmodernism and total moral relevance? This is a question that springs to mind when one scans the shelves of the local Christian bookstore. With that in mind, Reading Light presents guidance for Christian readers, featuring recommendations for Christian books that were both educational and enjoyable. It serves not as a scholar offering a lecture but as a friend sharing a good read with others and describing what benefits they can gain from each book. Author William H. Cooper Jr. stresses the need for Christians to read books with spiritual substance. He focuses on ten authors and their most prominent works, exploring their lives and considering the reasons each book might be beneficial. Intended for individuals, Sunday school groups, or book clubs, this guide provides Christians with essential recommendations for readable books with the promise of great reward.
