In The Cinematic Connery A. J. Black delves into Sean Connery's life for more than mere biography, exploring not just the enormously varied pictures he made but also the sweep of a career that crossed movie eras as well as decades.

Often hailed as the 'best' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman's study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film's important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film's development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming's source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film's portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959).

Das schillernde Porträt einer Formel-1-LegendeDie Erfolge von Lewis Hamilton lassen sich nur in Superlativen messen. Er hat sich so viele WM-Titel wie Michael Schumacher erkämpft, die meisten Grand-Prix-Siege eingefahren und wurde mit mehr Ehrungen überhäuft als jeder Motorsportler vor ihm. Der 1985 geborene Brite erhielt von seinem Vater in weiser Vorausschau den Nachnamen des legendären Sprinters Carl Lewis als Vornamen und erkämpfte sich mit gerade einmal 23 Jahren den ersten Weltmeistertitel. Durch seinen riskanten Fahrstil lockt er bei den Formel-1-Übertragungen Millionen von Zuschauern vor die Bildschirme, die gebannt seinen Manövern folgen. Doch wer ist Lewis Hamilton wirklich? Frank Worrall zeichnet das packende Porträt eines weltberühmten Motorsportlers, der durch seine markigen Sprüche oftmals für Empörung sorgt, aber zeitgleich vegane Ernährung und Tierschutz propagiert. Während er auf der Rennstrecke Runde um Runde in atemberaubendem Tempo zurücklegt, spielt er in seiner Freizeit Klavier und Gitarre und engagiert sich bei Anti-Rassismus-Demonstrationen. Die spannende umfassende Biografie wird Hamilton als Menschen und Sportler gerecht, punktet mit Fachwissen und lässt die Herzen der hartgesottenen Formel-1-Fans höherschlagen. Ein wahrer Pageturner - aufregend wie ein Meisterschaftsrennen.

Virkelighedens fortællinger er den første bog om den danske tv-dokumentarismes historie. Som Ib Bondebjerg skriver i bogens indledning, handler den om "danskernes virkelighed spejlet gennem tv-dokumentarismen i den begivenhedsrige år fra fjernsynets barndom i 1950'erne til den globaliserede medievirkelighed efter årtusindskiftet". Således er bogen både tv-historie, genrehistorie og kultur- og socialhistorie. Bogen rummer en delvis ny teori om dokumentarismens hovedgenrer og æstetik og deres forhold til virkeligheden og modtageren. Den danske dokumentarismes historie beskrives i tre store perioder: 1. I perioden 1951-1964 finder tv-dokumentarismen sine egne ben, men der laves allerede tidligt fremragende udsendelser. 2. Perioden 1964-1988 er DR's klassiske monopolperiode med et bredt register af dokumentariske genrer fra de kritisk undersøgende til de dramatiserede former og med B&U' s frække eksperimenter. 3. Perioden 1988-2001 er kendetegnet ved monopolbruddets og globaliseringens tidsalder. Perioden er først præget af en stærk periode og siden af en periode med krise og opbrud.
