The Oxford German Cartoon-strip Vocabulary Builder

This informative, colorful, and fun-to-use series of guides is perfect for anyone who wants to learn a second language quickly and easily. Each volume employs the amusing and always true-to-life cartoon strips of Claire Bretecher -- an artist renowned in Europe for her witty and controversial cartoons -- to not simply explain but to illustrate the words and wording of a given foreign language in its common, everyday use. While there are other cartoon dictionaries on the market, most of them provide only single cartoons. This attractive series, on the other hand, provides whole strips which tell a story and effectively bring context and other memorable features to one's learning. And only this series offers cartoons done in full color, and written by a popular cartoonist. These vocabulary builders are the perfect starting place for people who want to begin, or else strengthen, their acquisition of French, German, or Spanish. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461720781 - The Oxford German Cartoon-strip Vocabulary Builder

Film Composers in America A Filmography 1911-1970

The product of 45 years of research, this landmark reference stands as the first attempt to identify all composers who wrote background musical scores for motion pictures in the US through 1970. In the process, film-expert McCarty also documents the authorship of approximately 20,000 firm scores. More than 1,500 composers are represented in these pages, not only Hollywood professionals but also many composers of concert music -- as well as popular music and other genres -- whose cinematic work has never before been fully catalogued. Movies of all types are included: features, shorts, cartoons, documentaries, non-theatrical works, avant-garde films, and even trailers. Wherever possible, the information is based on the most reliable evidence, that of the manuscript scores and cue sheets (as opposed to less accurate screen credits). - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461124408 - Film Composers in America A Filmography 1911-1970
