Playing for Profit: How Digital Entertainment is Making Big Business Out of Child's Play by Alice Laplante, ISBN 0471296147
A little over a century ago, an intense explosion of technical innovation transformed the way we spent our leisure time. Inventions like the phonograph, television, radio, and motion pictures sparked a revolution in entertainment that captured the hearts and the wallets of the average consumer. In recent years, we ve seen some improvements on these feats: LPs disappeared and made room for CDs, movies were augmented by computer-generated special effects, and video games became a staple for home computers. But for the most part, few modifications have been made to our traditional forms of entertainment for almost 100 years. That s about to change. With the exciting emergence of digital interactivity, we re about to take a huge leap forward, reshaping and reinventing virtually every form of entertainment we know.

Hitchcock: Centenary Essays by Richard Allen, ISBN 085170736X
Born in 1899, Alfred Hitchcock directed 57 films in a fifty year career that spanned the history of the moving image, from the silent era to stereo sound, black-and white to Technicolor, widescreen to television, and from Europe to Hollywood. His oeuvre has so comprehensively engaged the attentions of scholars of all critical persuasions that the study of his films is synonymous with the study of the art of cinema itself.
Alfred Hitchcock: Centenary Essays displays the range and breadth of Hitchcock scholarship and assesses the significance of his singular body of work. The book engages with Hitchcock's characteristic formal and aesthetic preoccupations, his relationship with modernism and politics and his engagement with romance and sexuality.
This volume of essays draws on the best of current Hitchcock criticism and opens up new directions for Hitchcock scholarship.

This retrospective catalogue presents documentation of fifty works covering the entire period of Vostell's artistic production, from the late 1950s to the mid-1990s.
