Mi banda sonora: La vida es un encuentro
by Litto NebbiaBiografía, opiniones, recuerdos y anécdotas del pionero del rock nacional Litto Nebbia, que cuenta con su voz personalísima historias y escenas de su vida, a cincuenta años de la creación de "La Balsa". «Una bella lección de pureza y de lucidez de conceptos frente al concierto cultural, una toma de conciencia para hacernos más puros y fuertes mientras leemos la historia, el recuerdo y la convicción del autor.» Andrés Calamaro Apasionado y muchas veces polémico, Litto Nebbia cuenta todo. A cincuenta años de "La balsa", el pionero del rock nacional ha sido el primero en no tener ningún prejuicio con los géneros musicales, cruzando el rock con el jazz, la música popular brasileña, el folklore, el bolero, y animándose a aventuras nunca antes atravesadas. Tan inclasificable como su autor, Mi banda sonora enhebra, como un soundtrack, las escenas de su propia historia de vida, las de sus discos y canciones, sus amigos, sus películas y compositores favoritos, sus giras y sus opiniones personalísimas. Algunos de los temas más famosos, que han marcado la historia del rock nacional, pasan por estas páginas: "El rey lloró", "Viento, dile a la lluvia", "Rosemary", "El otro cambio, los que se fueron", "Nueva zamba para mi tierra", "Quien quiera oír que oiga" y "Sólo se trata de vivir". Y con ellos, miles de recuerdos, sueños y pasiones convierten a este libro en una obra que se proyecta al futuro.
Mi hermano
by Daniel PennacLa obra más íntima de Pennac, una memoria que convierte al Bartleby de Melville en un espejo para comprender y recordar a su hermano. En su libro más personal hasta la fecha, Daniel Pennac recuerda de la manera más emotiva y original a su hermano fallecido: a través de la figura de Bartleby, el célebre escribiente de Herman Melville. Así, Pennac amplía las costuras de la literatura de duelo y se sirve de su amor por las letras para crear unas memorias preciosas. El autor parte de una certeza compartida por todos: nunca llegamos a conocer en su totalidad a nuestros seres más queridos. Con el objetivo de comprender mejor a su hermano, Pennac revisita al escribiente procrastinador de Melville, un personaje muy querido por los dos, y le convierte en una suerte de espejo en el que observar y recordar a Bernard. Así Pennac firma un libro de una ternura infinita que se convierte a la vez en una oda a la literatura. La crítica ha dicho...«Un texto de una gran belleza.»Le Figaro «El escritor rinde un bello homenaje a quien le transmitió el amor por la literatura, su hermano mayor Bernard, tan parecido al personaje de Melville.»Le Monde «Magnífica historia, un grito sobrecogedor de amor al hermano desaparecido.»L'Express «El escritor francés da voz a una dimensión íntima»Eleonora Groppetti, Corriere di Novara «La fragilidad de los supervivientes.»Nadia Terranova, Il Foglio «Pennac [...] no necesita ganarse el corazón de sus lectores. Ya está en sus corazones.»Eleonora Groppetti, Corriere di Novara «Un homenaje al hermano amado y perdido.»La Repubblica «Refinado.»Corriere di Novara «Una novela que describe la figura del hermano perdido, entre los recuerdos personales y la literatura.»La Stampa «Esta historia de construcción admirable está impregnada tanto por la ternura hacia un hermano como por el amor hacia la literatura. Jamás se ha encontrado nada mejor para prolongar la vida de los desaparecidos. Daniel Pennac lo logra con una naturalidad abrumadora.»Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle France «Con una ternura infinita, Daniel Pennac habla de la distancia y el humor de su hermano, el placer de su compañía, su presencia atenta y discreta.»Michel Abescat, Télérama «Un libro de una gran belleza melancólica donde Daniel Pennac -el seductor, el profesor que agrada a su público- abandona el centro de atención para revelar la originalidad herida, la renuncia de su hermano soñador.»Patrick Grainville, Le Figaro Littéraire

Mi último suspiro
by Luis BuñuelUn libro de memorias canónico, fruto de dieciocho años de trabajo y de la amistad entre el genial cineasta y Jean-Claude Carrière. Estas memorias son el fruto de dieciocho años de trabajo y amistad entre Luis Buñuel y Jean-Claude Carrière. Juntos hicieron seis obras maestras del cine: Diario de una camarera, Belle de jour, La Vía Láctea, El discreto encanto de la burguesía, El fantasma de la libertad y Ese oscuro objeto del deseo. El libro nació espontáneamente de sus entrevistas en España y México durante los intervalos de las sesiones de trabajo; el uno evocando sus recuerdos y el otro recogiendo las palabras del amigo y anotándolas. Mi último suspiro recoge la voz y las propias palabras de Luis Buñuel, y nos da una particular visión del genial cineasta y de su mundo más personal. Esta edición conmemora el trigésimo aniversario de su primera edición francesa y española. Reseña:«Buñuel es el portador de una conciencia poética.»Andrei Tarkovski
Miami Beach
by Seth BramsonMiami Beach began its rise to the top of the world's resort scene when Carl Fisher, builder of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, arrived prior to 1920. The lure of "The World's Playground" was impossible to ignore for many, as hotels and restaurants flourished, even through the Great Depression. The images in this volume evoke poignant memories of Miami Beach's great past, almost inevitable downturn, and return to life with the discovery of South Beach and a renewed interest in art deco. Among the vintage views, most of which have never before been published, are early Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue; Miami Beach High School; Parham's; Junior's; Wolfies; Pumperniks; the first hotel on Miami Beach, Brown's; the Roney Plaza; the Fontainebleau; and, of course, the people who helped create this modern paradise.
Miami Beach in 1920, The Making of a Winter Resort: The Making Of A Winter Resort (Making of America)
by Abraham D. LavenderRecognized for its poise and fashion, Miami Beach embodies the best elements of the new American city: cultural diversity, imaginative architecture, and dazzling scenery. In many aspects, Miami Beach is a metropolitan masterpiece, sculpted by the careful hands of visionary entrepreneurs against a magnificent coastal backdrop. The evolution of Miami Beach from a small, uninhabited strip of palmetto scrub and swamp into an internationally-renowned resort is a fascinating tale of human ingenuity, endurance, and foresight. A milestone in the city's development, the year 1920 marked many significant improvement, such as the new County Causeway bridge, and many "firsts" for the expanding hamlet, including the first electric trolley, the first automated telephone system, and its first post office building. Readers of all ages will be thoroughly entertained as they explore their Miami Beach of yesteryear: a time of Prohibition and bootlegging, grand hotels and lavish casinos, budding polo fields and golf courses, and the many distinct personalities that added color and life to this burgeoning town.
Miami Vice: Miami Vice
by Steven SandersDiscusses the aesthetic appeal, production history, philosophical themes, and enduring importance of the groundbreaking 1980s television series.
Miami and Erie Canal (Images of America)
by Nancy Gulick Bill OetersIn the 1800s, the United States was a nation obsessed with finding a form of transportation that was the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable; at the time, canals were the answer. Canals broke through vast, open countryside, forested woodlands, and rolling hills to expose the heart of the nation to development. They took passengers and goods off of dusty or muddy roads and delivered them to their destinations faster and cheaper than by any other means. From Toledo to Cincinnati, the Miami and Erie Canal provided western Ohio with that sorely needed waterway and became part of the 1,000 miles of Ohio canals contributing to the national network of canals. Today, with the help of government, corporations, and citizens, many parts of the Ohio canal system have been preserved or restored and can be visited and experienced. Watered sections of canal quietly reflect a bygone era and lead an explorer down the towpaths of history.
Miami: The Magic City (Images of America)
by Seth H. BramsonMiami sprang into existence on July 28, 1896, following the extension of the Florida East Coast Railway from West Palm Beach on April 15, 1896, and the publication of the soon-to-be city's first newspaper, The Miami Metropolis, on May 15, 1896. However, evidence suggests people lived in the area as early as the 1700s. Nicknamed "the Magic City" by publicists working for railroad and hotel builder Henry Flagler, Miami has weathered yellow fever epidemics, World War I, the 1920s boom and bust, World War II, and numerous other economic ups and downs to become one of the world's great cities and the catalyst for the growth of the South Florida megalopolis.
Michael Allred: Conversations (Conversations with Comic Artists Series)
by Christopher IrvingMichael Allred (b. 1962) stands out for his blend of spiritual and philosophical approaches with an art style reminiscent of 1960s era superhero comics, which creates a mixture of both postmodernism and nostalgia. His childhood came during an era where pop art and camp embraced elements of kitsch and pastiche and introduced them into the lexicon of popular culture. Allred's use of both in his work as a cartoonist on his signature comic book Madman in the early 1990s offset the veiled autobiography of his own spiritual journey through Mormonism and struggles with existentialism. Thematically, Allred's work deals heavily with the afterlife as his creations struggle with the grander questions—whether his modern Frankenstein hero Madman, cosmic rock 'n' roller Red Rocket 7, the undead heroine of iZombie (co-created with writer Chris Roberson), or the cast of superhero team book The Atomics. Allred also enjoys a position in the creator-driven generation that informs the current batch of independent cartoonists and has experienced his own brush with a major Hollywood studio's aborted film adaptation of Madman. Allred's other brushes with Hollywood include an independent adaptation of his comic book The G-Men from Hell, an appearance as himself in Kevin Smith's romantic comedy Chasing Amy (where he provided illustrations for a fictitious comic book), the television adaptation of iZombie, and an ongoing relationship with director Robert Rodriguez on a future Madman film. Michael Allred: Conversations features several interviews with the cartoonist from the early days of Madman's success through to his current mainstream work for Marvel Comics. To read them is to not only witness the ever-changing state of the comic book industry, but also to document Allred's growth as a creative genius.
Michael Balz: Schalen und Visionen
by John ChiltonDieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über das Werk des Architekten Michael Balz, dem Pionier der Betonschalenarchitektur. Es behandelt seine realisierten und nicht realisierten Projekte, von denen viele in Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten Schweizer Ingenieur Heinz Isler entworfen wurden.Michael Balz. Schalen und Visionen ist reichlich mit Originalzeichnungen und Fotos illustriert: Schalen und Visionen trägt dem zunehmenden Interesse am Entwurf und der Konstruktion von Stahlbeton-Freiformschalen Rechnung, das mit dem Aufkommen von 3D-Modellierungs- und Formfindungssoftware einhergeht. Das Buch beschreibt architektonische Entwürfe und praktische Konstruktionsfragen, um zeitgenössische Schalendesigner zu motivieren.Balz' Erfahrung im Umgang mit Schwierigkeiten wie der Unvereinbarkeit mit nicht-strukturellen Merkmalen und dem Einbau von Fenstern in Schalen sowie der Bewertung der langfristigen Leistungsfähigkeit von Gebäuden ermöglicht es den Lesern, leichterzu lernen, wie sie mit solchen Problemen bei ihrer eigenen Arbeit umgehen können.Das Buch stellt Michael Balz vor, seine frühe Arbeit mit anderen Architekten, einschließlich seiner Arbeit an pneumatischen Formen mit Frei Otto, und seine Entwicklung zu einem Vertreter der organischen Architektur. Anschließend werden realisierte Projekte besprochen, darunter das Theater unter den Kuppeln (1976), der Ballettsaal (1979) und das Haus Balz (1981). Wettbewerbe, an denen Balz teilgenommen hat, und nicht realisierte Rohbauprojekte finden ebenfalls Beachtung, ebenso wie seine Arbeiten im städtischen Maßstab, wobei die konzeptionellen Entwürfe für Megastädte im Mittelpunkt stehen. Seine visionären Megastrukturen ermutigen Architekten, angesichts der zunehmenden Urbanisierung innovative Lösungen für den Stadtraum zu finden. Michael Balz: Schalen und Visionen wird für Studenten und Fachleute aus den Bereichen Architektur, Bauingenieurwesen, Bauwesen und Stadtplanung vonInteresse sein.

Michael Balz: Shells and Visions
by John ChiltonThis book presents a review of the work of the architect Michael Balz, pioneer of concrete-shell architecture. It discusses his projects, both realized and unbuilt, many being designed in collaboration with the renowned Swiss engineer Heinz Isler.Profusely illustrated with original drawings and photographs, Michael Balz: Shells and Visions caters to the increasing interest in the design and construction of free-form reinforced concrete shells consequent on the advent of 3D modelling and form-finding software. The book describes architectural designs and practical construction issues to motivate contemporary shell designers.Balz’s experience of dealing with such difficulties as incompatibility with non-structural features and the insertion of windows into shells, and the assessment of buildings’ long-term performance allow readers to learn more easily how to cope with such issues in their own work.The book introduces Michael Balz, his early work with other architects, including his work on pneumatic forms with Frei Otto, and his evolution into an exponent of organic architecture. It then discusses completed projects, including the outdoor Theater unter den Kuppeln (1976), Ballettsaal (1979) and Balz House (1981). Competitions Balz entered and unrealized shell projects also receive attention, as does his work on the urban scale, highlighting conceptual designs of mega-cities. His visionary megastructures encourage the exploration of innovative solutions for city spaces by architects faced with today’s increased urbanization. Michael Balz: Shells and Visions will be of interest to students and professionals in the fields of architecture, structural engineering, building and urban design. It’s reflections on the cultural and contextual aspects of Balz’s work will help the architectural historian to appreciate its long-term significance.
Michael Bay (Contemporary Film Directors)
by Lutz KoepnickIf size counts for anything, Michael Bay towers over his contemporaries. His summer-defining event films involve extraordinary production costs and churn enormous box office returns. His ability to mastermind breathtaking spectacles of action, mayhem, and special effects continually push the movie industry as much as the medium of film toward new frontiers. Lutz Koepnick engages the bigness of works like Armageddon and the Transformers movies to explore essential questions of contemporary filmmaking and culture. Combining close analysis and theoretical reflection, Koepnick shows how Bay's films, knowingly or not, address profound issues about what it means to live in the late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries. According to Koepnick's astute readings, no one eager to understand the state of cinema today can ignore Bay's work. Bay's cinema of world-making and transnational reach not only exemplifies interlocking processes of cultural and economic globalization. It urges us to contemplate the future of moving images, of memory, matter, community, and experience, amid a time of rampant political populism and ever-accelerating technological change. An eye-opening look at one of Hollywood's most polarizing directors, Michael Bay illuminates what energizes the films of this cinematic and cultural force.

Michael Douglas: A Biography
by Marc EliotThrough determination, inventiveness, and charisma, Michael Douglas emerged from the long shadow cast by his movie-legend father, Kirk Douglas, to become his own man and one of the film industry's most formi dable players. Overcoming the curse of failure that haunts the sons and daughters of Hollywood celebrities, Michael became a sensation when he successfully brought One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, starring his friend Jack Nicholson, to the screen after numerous setbacks, including his father's own failed attempts to make it happen. This 1975 box-office phenomenon won Michael his first Oscar (the film won five total, including Best Picture), an award Kirk hadn't won at the time, and solidified the turbulent, competitive father-son relationship that would shape Michael's career and personal life. In the decades that followed, Michael established a reputation for taking chances on new talent and proj ects by producing and starring in the hugely successful Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile movies, while cultivating a multifaceted acting persona edgy, rebel lious, and a little dark in such films as Wall Street, Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, and Disclosure. Yet as his career thrived, Michael's personal life floundered, with an unhappy and tumultuous first mar riage, rumors of infidelity (especially with leading ladies such as Kathleen Turner), and a headline-grabbing stint in rehab. Rocked by a series of tragedies, including Kirk's strokes, his son Cameron's incarceration, and his own fight against throat cancer, Michael has emerged trium phant, healthy, and happy in his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, a Welsh actress twenty-five years his junior, and their new young family. In Michael Douglas, Marc Eliot brings into sharp fo cus this incredible career, complicated personal life, and legendary Hollywood family. Eliot's fascinating portrait of the lows and remarkable highs in Michael's life in cluding the thorny yet influential relationship with his father breaks boundaries in understanding the life and work of a true American film star.
Michael Douglas: Acting on Instinct
by John ParkerIn the shadow of his father Kirk's overpowering fame, Michael Douglas forged a career for himself and became recognised in his own right as an award-winning actor and producer. But fame has taken its toll on Michael's personal life. His struggles with sexual addiction, his treatment for alcoholism and drug dependency and the break-up of his first marriage show another side to Michael's success. In 2010, his troubled past came back to haunt him when Cameron, his eldest son, was sentenced to five years in prison for drug dealing. Yet, despite a rocky road, Michael has found happiness later in life. His marriage to Catherine Zeta Jones meant a second shot at fatherhood and gave him strength following a devastating diagnosis of advanced throat cancer at the age of 65. This is the compelling and remarkable story of a Hollywood son who waged a battle against the odds to achieve his fame and fortune, and has kept on fighting with every challenge he faces.

Michael Freeman On... Color & Tone (Michael Freeman Masterclasses)
by Michael FreemanColor isn't 'just there' in photography, an ordinary fact of life. It's much more special and can be a subject and pursuit in its own right, because it triggers an emotional and aesthetic response like no other. Color is processed not in the eye, but in the mind, and that makes it personal.In this third book in the series, Michael Freeman talks about color in photography in a completely fresh, thoughtful and useful way, unlike any other book on the market. In recent years, photography-about-color has exploded as a shooting phenomenon, taking inspiration not just from the great colorist photographers like Outerbridge, Haas, Gruyaert, Leiter, Eggleston and Porter, but from the new freedom that modern sensors and processing software give.This book both celebrates and advises this new trend, drawing on Freeman's long experience editorially and professionally, spanning the two eras of film and digital color.

Michael Freeman On... Creative Exposure: The Ultimate Photography Masterclass (Michael Freeman Masterclasses)
by Michael FreemanTHE LATEST BOOK IN THE ULTIMATE PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS SERIES, FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MICHAEL FREEMANShooting starts with the exposure, and setting it is the first decision in photography - one that determines everything else to follow in creating a satisfying image. It's very far from being a simple binary choice between right and wrong, because there is no standard 'right' exposure. In the fifth book of his new series, best-selling author Michael Freeman takes a deep dive into another fundamental element of the photographic process. In his role as leading industry consultant in AI-led computational photography, Freeman reveals not only the full set of exposure processes available in and out of the camera, but how to link them to the personal aesthetic choices that we all want to make and argues that more than ever, exposure is a creative process. * Clearly explains the principles of photographic exposure through a concise and easy-to-follow format.* Examines the role of the photographer in the creative process of selective exposure.* Real-life examples demonstrate the range of exposure choices available in any photographic situation.* Takes account of the latest developments in computational digital photography and details how to work alongside them.* Gives the practical photographer the tools they need to take full creative control of their camera.
