Book Description
Designing was done ad lib on the day, doodling in 3D or acting out nonsense in the studio. So this book is a collection of images, some factual, some descriptive, but many just suggestive, a record of the feeling of making the film rather than a definitive handbook. Book jacket.

Book Description
This ebundle includes: Death's Mistress, Shroud of Eternity, Siege of Stone, and Heart of Black Ice. In the world of Terry Goodkind’s New York Times-bestselling Sword of Truth saga, fan-favorite warrior Nicci and her travel companion Richard Rahl explore new and fantastical realms, encountering familiar allies, dangerous magic, and creatures forged by twisted sorcery. One-time lieutenant of the evil Emperor Jagang, known as “Death’s Mistress” and the “Slave Queen”, the deadly Nicci captured Richard Rahl in order to convince him that the Imperial Order stood for the greater good. Now, with the reign of Richard and Kahlan finally stabilized, Nicci has set out on her own for new adventures. Death's Mistress: It’s no easy task keeping the unworldly prophet Nathan out of trouble as they scout the far reaches of Richard Rahl’s realm. This task will take her and Nathan to visit the mysterious witch-woman Red, to tangle with the street life of the port city of Tanimura, to fight lethal battles on the high seas, and ultimately to a vast magical confrontation far from home...with the future of life itself, in the Old World and the New, at stake. Shroud of Eternity: Guided by the witch-woman Red's mysterious prophecy, the trio makes their way south of Kol Adair towards a wondrous city shrouded behind time, Ildakar. But the grotesque omens on their path—severed Norukai heads on pikes, a genetically modified monster, and a petrified army of half a million—are just a taste of the unimaginable horrors that await within the Shroud of Eternity. Siege of Stone: Nicci, Nathan, and Bannon have to help Ildakar survive an unbreakable siege, using all the magical defenses of the legendary city. Nicci knows the battle won’t remain in the city; if she can’t stop this threat, two invincible armies can sweep across the Old World and destroy D’Hara itself. Heart of Black Ice: In the wake of the brutal war that swept the Old World, a new danger is forming along the coast. Taken captive by their enemies, King Grieve, along with Lila and Bannon are about to discover the terrifying force that threatens to bring destruction to the Old World.

Book Description
Provides a fresh perspective on British fantasy film Combines a methodological approach of textual analysis, critical discourse and production histories to expand current knowledge and appreciation of British fantasy film Promotes new avenues for film studies by investigating a comprehensive range of British film titles previously disputed or overlooked in existing academic scholarship Informs a more general understanding which is focused on contemporary fantasy but contributes to a broader, historical assessment of the fantastic within British cinema In the period since 2001, cinema has witnessed a notable influx in fantasy film. Many constitute adaptations from British fantasy literature, often created and produced in the UK, and showcase domestic talent both in front and behind the screen. This includes massive box office hits such as the Harry Potter series (2001 – 2011) through to smaller scale and independent endeavours like Nanny McPhee (2005), MirrorMask (2005) and Franklyn (2008). However, such films have received minimal critical attention as British fantasy films. The reasons for this absence are manifold; leaving many films contested, ignored and omitted from established canons. This book re-addresses prevailing scholarship on the fantasy genre, national film production and representation on screen, providing readers with a revised appraisal of the contemporary film landscape. It delivers a fresh perspective across a broad range of films which all embrace the fantastic within British cinema.

Book Description
Jim Henson’s creations have inspired generations with characters that are among the world’s most recognizable cultural icons. From Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their Muppet friends to the legendary Sesame Street and Children’s Television Workshop, Henson revolutionized children’s educational entertainment. Combining live action and puppeteering into fantastical narratives like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, as well as the whimsical Fraggle Rock and The Storyteller, Henson transformed imagination into reality, weaving together powerful philosophical messages on identity, community, diversity, love, death, and friendship. Henson never shied away from exploring deep questions, nor did he underestimate the ability of children (or adults) to grapple with profound philosophical questions. Jim Henson and Philosophy explores the entertaining and educational world of the genius’s creations, revealing what it is about Henson’s world that has touched us so deeply and improved our lives in such meaningful ways.
