Summary

Global Film Sets explores the pivotal role of film locations in cinematic storytelling, revealing how they shape narratives and influence audience perception. Beyond mere backdrops, these locations actively participate in the film-making process, contributing significantly to a film's overall success. For example, a nondescript suburban house can transform into an iconic setting, deeply impacting viewers. The book traces the evolution of location shooting, from early studio-bound productions to today's globe-trotting epics, highlighting the economic and cultural impact of film tourism on local communities. It presents a unique approach by combining in-depth film analysis with insights into location scouting and management, appealing to film students, enthusiasts, and cultural tourists alike. Drawing upon production notes, interviews, and original fieldwork, the book bridges film studies, geography, and cultural tourism. Beginning with an overview of key concepts, the book progresses through case studies ranging from historical reconstructions to contemporary settings and fantastical environments created through visual effects. It concludes by addressing ethical considerations surrounding location shooting, such as cultural appropriation and environmental impact, providing a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted world of global film sets.

    Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet...

    After a decade of guiding people who've just added a puppy to the family, dog trainer Kathy Callahan has learned a fundamental truth: at some point every one of them feels overwhelmed. When they seek out expertise, they're flooded with impossibly detailed advice, conflicting opinions, and a surprising number of techniques that seem unkind. 
     
     
     
    In contrast, Callahan reassures owners that success flows not from nailing an intimidating list of disciplinary tactics, but from adopting a mindset of "trusted guide" rather than "master." The key to great training is recognizing that we have essentially kidnapped these puppies from their own vastly different culture. Using an easy-to-grasp "Planet Dog/Planet Human" concept, Callahan dives into the essentials, including how to prepare your house (and yourself) for puppyhood; potty training, chewing, jumping, and other challenges; how to train with fun, not fear; navigating puppyhood with young kids, cats, and/or other dogs; and what to do if there's household disagreement on things like whether dogs belong on furniture. 
     
     
     
    In engaging chapters filled with empathy for both the beleaguered humans and their confused puppies, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog paves the way for a rewarding friendship between a relaxed, well-prepared human and a canine family member who's happily at ease in our world.

    An elegant blend of "polemic, industrial history, nautical writing, elegy, and ecology" (The Scotsman), The Two-Headed Whale charts the tragic history of the post-war whaling industry alongside the author's thrilling memoir of sailing the Antarctic. 
     
     
     
    In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this whole scale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story. 
     
     
     
    The Two-Headed Whale vividly brings to life the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the vast Southern Oceans, set alongside the true-life story of Anthony Ford, the boy in the grave, as he sailed the same seas and toiled in an industry where profits outranked human life. Drawing together threads of nature and travel writing with an unflinching narrative of life aboard a whaling factory ship and the legacy it left behind, The Two-Headed Whale leaves us questioning our troubled relationship with the extraordinary abundance of this planet.
