I have studied a number of more advanced treatments of fluid dynamics, but none of them give the intuitive presentation that this book gives, and so I would highly recommend Shape and Flow as a first book for anyone interested in fluid dynamics. The book is neither a study of comparative religion nor decent apologetics.What one will find inside is mostly Christian devotionals. You go girl.The constant betrayals were a bit off putting.

It is an essential reference work for all those interested in this important cultural phenomenon.. These problems are partly caused because film noir is a retrospective label that was not used in the 1940s or 1950s by the film industry as a production category and therefore its existence and features cannot be established through reference to trade documents.The Historical Dictionary of Film Noir is a comprehensive guide that ranges from 1940 to present day neo-noir.

The core of the content consists of American film noir during and after WWII and includes separate entries for seminal examples, such as The Big Sleep, Body Heat, and Double Indemnity.

Spicer also discusses noir in other media, such as Comics/graphic novels, Posters, and Radio. The beginning of the volume contains a chronology of film noir benchmarks and influences, from 1794 (publication of Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho) to 2009’s Duplicity (Stieg Larsson just missed the cut.)

Subgenres (African American film noir, Gangster noir) and styles and themes (Visual style, Men) are also discussed.
