Quicklets: Learn More. Read Less. Christopher Nolan wrote, directed, and produced Inception. He also wrote and directed such notable films as The Dark Knight (2008), The Prestige (2006), Batman Begins (2005; directed only), and Memento (2000). Nolan began making films on super 8mm at age 7, and later on 16mm with his college film society at University College of London, while he studied English Literature. He's been nominated for 3 Oscars and won numerous awards for his direction and screenwriting, particularly for The Dark Knight, Memento, and Inception. He's known for putting substantial focus on the psychology of his main characters, using non-linear plot lines, and leaving open the final outcome of the story. These are all demonstrated in Inception. Inception opened in the United States on July 16, 2010, and in 70 countries by the end of the year. It grossed $292.6 million at the box office, won a total of 75 awards and 102 nominations, including 4 Oscar wins (Best Achievement in Cinematography; Best Achievement in Sound Editing; Best Achievement in Sound Mixing; and Best Achievement in Visual Effects) and nominations (Best Achievement in Art Direction; Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score; Best Motion Picture of the Year; and Best Writing, Original Screenplay).

"The Creation is a timely book about the survival of life on this planet, which E. O. Wilson demonstrates is more endangered than ever before. Drawing on his own personal experiences as a world-leading biologist, he prophesies that at least half the species of plants and animals on Earth could either be gone or fated for early extinction by the end of our present century. Written in the form of an impassioned letter to a Southern Baptist pastor, The Creation demonstrates that science and religion need not be warring antagonists."--BOOK JACKET.

The seemingly mundane events of daily life create a complex knowledge base of lived experience to be explored. But how does one research common experiences and account for context, culture, and identity? A dilemma arises because experience is not just embedded in events, but also in the socially constructed meanings associated with those events. This book details the philosophical underpinnings, design features and implementation strategies of Collective Memory Work – a methodology frequently employed by social justice activists/scholars. Collective Memory Work can provide scholars with unique and nuanced ways to solve problems for and with their participants. Most importantly, the chapters also detail projects and social justice in action, analysing their participants’ real stories and experiences: projects that focus on LGBTQ youth, #blacklivesmatter activists, white faculty working at historically Black colleges and universities, men’s media consumption and much more. Written in an engaging and accessible style, readers will come to understand the potential of their own qualitative research using Collective Memory Work.

Rebecca Pelky's story-in-poems assembles the author's research into her Native and non-Native heritage in the land now known as Wisconsin. Through the poet's ancestors-and documented through text and image-this book relates narratives of people who converged on and impacted this space in myriad ways. Written in English and Mohegan, Through a Red Place reshapes itself from page to page, asking what it means to navigate place as both colonizer and colonized. These poems seek the interior and exterior lives of beloved people and places, interacting with archives and visuals to illustrate that what is past continually interrupts and reinscribes itself upon the present. This collection embodies a refusal to go missing despite what's buried, erased, or built over, much like the ancient mound now covered by an ammunition plant. An inventive collage of geography, history, myth, translation, lineage, erasure, journalism, and photography, Through a Red Place builds a map between distances and lost stories to unearth and honor the past.

Tells how radio and television became an integral part of American life, of how a toy became an industry and a force in politics, business, education, religion, and international affairs.
