 | It's Time - Frederick, Steven Frederick 10 Digit ISBN: 142591120X 13 Digit ISBN: 9781425911201 | | It is a painful thing when a person realizes that his carefully crafted life, with long held beliefs and a valued social structure, is no longer valid, and to live a life of more of the same is simply unacceptable. This is what Mark Gardner faces in It's Time. It is the story of a good little boy who faithfully followed the rules of his religion only to discover in midlife that he must forfeit all that has gone before and take a different path. Mark is a thirty-two year old Jehovah's witness elder who has lived a chaste, celibate life, pursuing God's work as he believed it to be. He has known he was gay ever since he was six years old, a fact that he has never acted upon and always compartmentalized into the deepest corner of his subconscious. When circumstances finally force Mark to face his homosexuality, he begins a painful and disorienting transformation, launching him on a tenuous search for happiness. He realizes on an intellectual level that to follow his path will mean giving up family and friends and his faith, the entire structure of his life, and he is prepared to do this. He knows it is time to start over. What he does not realize is that the beliefs and conditioning of a lifetime are not discarded in a day, a month or even a year. He holds a picture of the life he wants for himself, but he will never achieve it until he addresses his losses and his beliefs about religion, right and wrong and about himself. These are lessons he will have to learn, and It's Time chronicles the beginning of his journey. |

 | It's True Everything Is Shit - Tim, Watts 10 Digit ISBN: 1409201066 13 Digit ISBN: 9781409201069 | | Perhaps better titled - "It's not just you, so much IS actually shit" - this book follows in the cynical theme of observing modern life and its many annoying and often unnecessary drawbacks. Only when we look at the cynical side do we realise what crosses the minds of so many, and only when one of them speaks, it green lights the road ahead for others to gripe at the world - hence this book There have been a couple of similar chronicles of pet peeves published before so I wanted to journey down that griping path and contribute my own two bobsworth - using satirical cartoons to bring home personal disillusionment. Moaning may be both negative and opinionated but when something is written in the "isn't it shit" genre - you really can't have it any other way so have a moan, have a snipe but above all - see the funny side |

 | Italian Art 1250-1550: The Relation of Renaissance Art to Life and Society - Bruce, Cole 10 Digit ISBN: 0064301621 13 Digit ISBN: 9780064301626 | | This survey of Italian Renaissance art, from a new and different perspective, shows how art was a vital part of society and how all types of art and artists reflected the needs and aspirations of the culture from which they arose. Most books on Renaissance art are based on a chronological study of the major artists and their works. In this book, Bruce Cole covers the major types of art from c. 1250 to c. 1550, discusses their origins and development, documents their use and function, and describes their form and how and why the artists shaped them that way. Art is thus firmly connected with the life and society of the Renaissance rather than viewed as a separate entity: painting and sculpture are seen in their proper context. After a wide-ranging introduction, there are chapters on Italian Renaissance art in relation to domestic life, worship, civic life, death and afterlife, and Renaissance images and ideals. |

 | Italian Cinema - Mary P., Wood 10 Digit ISBN: 1845201612 13 Digit ISBN: 9781845201616 | | Italian film has always drawn on a wide range of popular themes--from ancient history to the mafia, the family, the Risorgimento, terrorism, corruption and immigration--and on an equally diverse range of film genres, from comedy to westerns, horror, soft-porn, epics and thrillers. Commercial constraints, state and European funding, international competition, as much as cultural and political trends, have all influenced the sort of films which get made and exported. Outlining the artistic, cultural, technical and commercial context of film, "Italian Cinema "presents a history from silent to contemporary film. In addition to illuminating the work of classic directors such as Visconti, Fellini, Rossellini, Antonioni and Rosi, the book also explores the interaction between art and popular cinema, visual style and spectacle, space and architecture, gender representations and politics. |
