 | Movie Wars by Jonathan Rosenbaum
In this argument, author Jonathan Rosenbaum asserts that film studios, critics, and advertisers have formed a cartel that controls the types of films that are made and released to the public. Feeling that the vast selection of American movies lacks diversity, he reasons that movie-goers have no control over which types of movies they watch. He also accuses critics of accepting bribes, film festivals of hosting popularity contests, and market researchers of manipulating the creative processes of filmmaking. AUTHOR: Jonathan Rosenbaum

 | Jean Nouvel by Giampiero Bosoni, Jean Nouvel
In this revealing autobiographical account, Jean Nouvel, one of today's most interesting international architects, looks at his work from his debut at the end of the 1970s up to his most recent projects, giving a detailed description of his planning philosophy and, in certain passages, proposing his own ideas regarding the future of architecture. The book is handsomely illustrated by photographs from the architect's personal archive and focuses in particular on Nouvel's principal works, including the Institute du Monde Arabe and Fondation Cartier in Paris, the restructuring of the Lyons Opera House and the recently completed Lafayette Department Store in Berlin.

 | A Christmas Carol by Andrew Wheatcroft, Arthur Rackham, Carter Goodrich, Charles Dickens, Christian Birmingham
A CHRISTMAS CAROL is Dickens's tender and comic tale of the Cratchit family, Tiny Tim, and Ebenezer Scrooge--a favorite since it was written in 1843. Badly in need of money, Dickens produced A CHRISTMAS CAROL in six weeks; the first printing of 6,000 copies sold out instantly. In Dickens's original version, Tiny Tim was Tiny Fred, and Scrooge said Bah! but not Humbug! AUTHOR: Andrew Wheatcroft, Arthur Rackham, Carter Goodrich, Charles Dickens, Christian Birmingham
