GUÍA PARA EL CINE DE STEPHEN KING (Con las entrevistas a Mick Garris y Dee Wallace)
by Marcello Gagliani Caputo Traducción de Julio César Navarro VillegasUn viaje por las cintas y las series de televisión tomadas de las novelas y los relatos de Stephen King. De "Carrie" a "La cúpula", historia, génesis, documentos y curiosidades. Con las entrevistas a Mick Garris y Dee Wallace. Pocos escritores han logrado condicionar el cine como Stephen King, desde los años '70 hasta hoy, casi todas sus novelas han sido llevadas a la pantalla grande o a la televisión, síntoma de la extraordiaria capacidad del autor estadounidense para contar historias construidas justamente para transformarse en imágenes. Directores como Brian De Palma, Stanley Kubrick, Rob Reiner y Frank Darabont, sólo por citar algunos, se han popularizado con la transposición de un libro de King, obteniendo en algunos casos un éxito estrepitoso, en otros dando un giro radical a la propia carrera. El primero, en 1976, fue De Palma con "Carrie", su segundo largometraje, obteniendo el pasaporte para la gloria, seguido al poco tiempo por Tobe Hooper que llevó a la tv "La hora del vampiro" (1978) y sobre todo Stanley Kubrick y "El resplandor" (1980), motivo de infinitas polémicas entre el director y King, quien se ha declarado contrario a la relectura cinematográfica de su novela. Partiendo de estas bases, pero yendo mucho más allá, el libro recorre las etapas fundamentales que han hecho del autor estadounidense uno de los más "disfrutados" del cine, pero que también lo han visto involucrarse directamente (suya es la dirección de "Ocho días de terror" así como muchos de los guiones de otras cintas). Con un prefacio de Stefano Pastor ("Il giocattolo" y "Figlio che odiano le madri", de Fazi editore), desde la filmografía completa y embellecido con las entrevistas a Mick Garris ("La danza de la muerte", "El resplandor" para la tv, "Montando la bala" y otras cintas) y a la protagonista de "Cujo" Dee Wallace, este volumen narra la génesis de todas las películas (o s

La Vendetta del Lich (Leggende del Nano Senzanome libro #3)
by D. P. Prior Tradotto da Paolo Santini e Lenny BlandinoI sopravvissuti del massacro di Arx Gravis scappano dalla loro città nella gola, lasciando i suoi passaggi e canali ricoperti di sangue. Convinti che non ci possa essere redenzione per ciò che ha fatto, il Nano Senzanome si unisce ad un ladro imberbe, un’assassina guidata dal senso di colpa, ed un mago tisico. Insieme, seguono i nani nelle terre piene di orrori che si trovano oltre le Montagne Farfall. Ma i compagni si portano dietro i propri problemi, fra i quali c’è un antico grimorio che li conduce inesorabilmente verso una foresta di catrame, ed un male dal passato di Senzanome che minaccia la sua intera razza. L’ultima speranza dei nani arriva dalla più improbabile delle fonti: una città mitica sotto le onde, un’ascia dell’età degli eroi, ed il Nano Senzanome, nelle cui vene scorre il sangue della leggenda.

The Mixed Member Proportional System: Providing Greater Representation for Women?
by Tracy-Ann Johnson-MyersThis Brief discusses the adoption of the mixed member proportional (MMP) electoral system in New Zealand and its subsequent effect on representation for women. Concerns about the homogeneity of the legislature under the Single Member Plurality electoral system and the need for increased representativeness and greater proportionality of party preference lead to the changeover in 1996. The book addresses the question of whether an increase in descriptive representation for women in New Zealand's House of Representatives has translated to policy outcomes that are beneficial to them. It also examines the extent to which female MPs meet the expectation that they will act for members of their groups; pushing minority and gender-friendly legislation and policies into the political arena. Finally, it raises questions about where women are found in New Zealand's decision making bodies and what influence they might have on policy outcomes. The first book to examine the effects of the MMP system on female descriptive and substantive representation using a case study analysis, this Brief adds to the literature on electoral systems and women's political representation. This book will be of use to political science students at both the undergraduate and graduate level, particularly those interested in electoral studies, political institutions, politics and gender, and minority representation.

Debido a la forma en que funciona la dieta baja en carbohidratos, quemará más energía de la que consume, y esto significa que es mucho más probable que pierda peso de lo que lo haría si se somete a muchas otras dietas.
