Mussolini and the Eclipse of Italian Fascism
An incisive account of how Mussolini pioneered populism in reaction to Hitler's rise-and thereby reinforced his role as a model for later authoritarian leaders.
On the tenth anniversary of his rise to power in 1932, Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) seemed to many the "good dictator." He was the first totalitarian and the first fascist in modern Europe. But a year later Hitler's entrance onto the political stage signaled a German takeover of the fascist ideology.
In this definitive account, eminent historian R.J.B. Bosworth charts Mussolini's leadership in reaction to Hitler. Bosworth shows how Italy's decline in ideological pre-eminence, as well as in military and diplomatic power, led Mussolini to pursue a more populist approach: angry and bellicose words at home, violent aggression abroad, and a more extreme emphasis on charisma. In his embittered efforts to bolster an increasingly hollow and ruthless regime, it was Mussolini, rather than Hitler, who offered the model for all subsequent authoritarians.

The Workshop and the World
Robert P. Crease looks at questions about when a scientific discovery becomes accepted fact, who decides this and how citizens should interact with the scientific process. He answers by introducing the world's greatest thinkers and explaining how they shaped scientific progress.
At a time when the Catholic Church assumed total authority, Bacon, Galileo and Descartes were the first to articulate the idea of scientific expertise, while writers such as Shelley and Comte questioned the scientific process. Centuries later, scholars such as Ataturk and Arendt examined the relationship between the scientific community and the public-especially in times of distrust in experts. An exploration of what it means to practise science for the common good and who can question expertise, this book will help readers understand how we reached the current moment of anti-science rhetoric and what we can do about it.

Lady of the Rivers
Jacquetta, daughter of the Count of Luxembourg and kinswoman to half the royalty of Europe, was married to the great Englishman John, Duke of Bedford, uncle to Henry VI. Widowed at the age of nineteen she took the extraordinary risk of marrying a gentleman of her house-hold for love, and then carved out a life for herself as Queen Margaret of Anjou's close friend and a Lancaster supporter - until the day that her daughter Elizabeth Woodville fell in love and married the rival king Edward IV. Of all the little-known but important women of the period, her dramatic story is the most neglected. With her links to Melusina, and to the founder of the house of Luxembourg, together with her reputation for making magic, she is the most haunting of heroines.

The Seven Minute Screenplay
The Seven Minute Screenplay is both a grammar of fundamental dramatic principles and a primer on the process of screenwriting. The manual is intended to prepare students for writing full-length feature films through the structured exercise of writing a screenplay for a seven-minute film. Guidelines for the exercise are detailed and an approach to creating the short form is outlined, with each step in the process explained. The steps include character exploration, finding a problem that would force character development, imagining the struggle, pitching the story, preparing the treatment, writing the first draft, and rewriting for character, plot, visual iconography and sensitivity to the active participation of the viewer. Written largely by the screenwriter Pavel Jech (now former Dean of FAMU), the text reflects the many years of his experience in teaching the short form to students. The co-author is a FAMU acting teacher Mary Angiolillo. The Seven Minute Screenplay hopes the beginning screenwriter will appropriate the fundamentals offered in this manual and make them their own, developing a set of skills to be used for making their own unique films.
Publikace The Seven Minute Screenplay je jak gramatika základních principů dramatiky, tak slabikář pro psaní scénáře. Skriptum si klade za cíl připravit studenty na psaní celovečerních filmů pomocí strukturovaného psaní scénáře pro sedmiminutový film. Obsah cvičení je přesně vymezen, každý pracovní krok při tvorbě scénáře pro krátké filmové dílo je detailně rozveden. Mezi tvůrčí kroky patří definování postavy, vymezení problému, který podnítí její vývoj, nalezení dramatického konfliktu, rozpracování příběhu, psaní první verze a rozepsání postavy, děje a vizuální stránky s přihlédnutím k předpokládaným diváckým reakcím. Text vznikl na základě mnohaletých zkušeností scenáristy Pavla Jecha (bývalého děkana FAMU) s vyučováním o krátkých filmových formách ve spolupráci s pedagožkou FAMU Mary Angiolillo. Publikace The Seven Minute Screenplay by měla začínajícím scenáristům pomoci osvojit si základy oboru a rozšířit jejich osobní dovednosti, aby byli schopni vytvořit svůj osobitý film.

The Fine Print - Az apró betűs rész - Dreamland Billionaires 1.
Rowan már régóta nem hisz a szerelemben - Zahra mégis tökéletesnek látszik.
Valódivá válhat a mesés kapcsolat, ami közöttük szövődött?
ROWAN
Tündérmesékben utazom: vidámparkokban, produkciós cégekben, ötcsillagos hotelekben. Hatalmas vagyonhoz jutok, ha rájövök, hogyan újítsam meg nagyapám vidámparkját, a Dreamlandet. Elméletben jóötletnek tűnt felvenni Zahrát, hogy a kreatív ötleteivel segítsen, de aztánmegcsókoltam. És álnéven írtam neki üzenetet. Minden a feje tetejére állt, és mire rájöttem, hogy hibáztam, már késő volt. A magamfajtáknak nem jut happy end. A mi végzetünk az, hogy tönkretegyük a saját boldogságunkat.
ZAHRA
Részegen kritizáltam a Dreamland legdrágább attrakcióját, úgyhogy biztosra vettem, másnap kirúgnak. Ehelyett Rowan Kane álommunkát ajánlott nekem. Hogy mi ebben a csapda? Nos, a világ legszörnyűbb főnöke: Rowan goromba és elérhetetlen, de a szívemet ez nem érdekelte. Legalábbis addig, amíg rá nem jöttem a titkára. Meg kell mutatnom egy milliárdosnak, hogy a pénz nem old meg mindent. Főképp nem a kettőnk kapcsolatát.
Vajon Rowan képes új esélyt kérni? És Zahra mer még hinni neki? És mindeközben sikerül megújítani a Dreamlandet, azaz teljesíteni a nagyapa végakaratát?
Egy különleges helyszín, egy szerethető szereplőpáros és egy hatalmas siker, ami a TikTokon is hódít.
Tarts a szereplőinkkel egy mesés helyszínre, és láss a tündérmese mögé!
