 | 42Up by Bennett Singer, Michael Apted, Robert Coles, Roger Ebert
A richly illustrated companion volume to the acclaimed 7 Up film series--a fascinating longitudinal study, published to coincide with the film release of 42 Up. Utterly fascinating, groundbreaking, unparalleled. These are among the accolades American critics have used to describe the series of British television programs that began in 1964 when filmmaker Michael Apted set out to test the aphorism Give me the child until he is seven, and I will show you the man. He filmed fourteen seven-year-old boys and girls from all walks of British life and revisited the same group at fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight, thirty-five, and, now, forty-two. This series, chronicling their successes and failures, fears and dreams, is one of the greatest-and most fascinating- longitudinal studies of all time. 42 Up is being published to coincide with the American film release of the most recent installment and provides an overview from its inception. Illustrated throughout, the book chronicles the life-stories of each of the film's subjects, capturing the spirit and candor of the films in an accessible, affordable format. The book includes: excerpts from transcripts of the six films in the series; never-before-available outtakes from 35 Up and 42 Up; production photos spanning the thirty-five-year history of the project; an introduction by 7 Up director Michael Apted on the history and goals of the project; preface by Robert Coles; and foreword by Roger Ebert AUTHOR: Bennett Singer, Michael Apted, Robert Coles, Roger Ebert

 | The Dada Almanac by Barbara Wright, Derk Wynand, James Kirkup, Malcolm Green, Richard Huelsenbeck
Dada Means Nothing! So proclaimed Tristan Tzara, the movement's tireless publicist. Yet this did not prevent the most fanatical and talented artists and writers across Europe from rushing to join its ranks. Anti-war, anti-art, anti-dada, from its beginnings in Zurich during the first World War the dadas swept aside the cultural, philosophical and political norms of their time. Utter disgust with a society that had created the war (and then expected to survive the peace) spurred them to ever greater demonstrations of revulsion and derision. Yet it was not all nihilism: many factions worked within the Dada Movement and it was Huelsenbeck's intention to embody most of them in the Dada Almanac. The largest collection of Dadaist texts ever assembled by the movement, it was originally published in 1920 in a mixture of French and German. The Dada Almanac was truly international in scope, with substantial sections from the Swiss and French sections of the movement, it embodies Dada's failings as well as its successes, its excesses, its seriousness, its idiocy, but above all the anarchic vitality which made it such a vital precondition for so much that followed in the fields of art, literature and general cultural terrorism.
