  Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
  A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular. 
  The preface is read by Cerys Matthews, and the rest of the book by the author

  The American Film Institute's 5...

  Editors Charles River

  In 1999, the American Film Institute released its list of the 50 greatest Hollywood stars of the 20th century, and selecting the best actors out of the bunch was certainly a tall task. The competition was so stacked that men like Gary Cooper and John Wayne were not even among the Top 10. So who were the Top 5 men selected by the AFI? 
  One man has long been considered the greatest male star. From the time he first became a leading man, Humphrey Bogart’s screen image has resonated with viewers more than perhaps any other actor. His persona as a tough guy who manages to maintain his sense of virtue no matter how compromising the situation features in some of the most famous films ever made, including Casablanca (1942), The Maltese Falcon (1941), and Key Largo (1949). 
  Movie stars are revered for their ability to captivate audiences, and perhaps no actor has done it as well as Cary Grant, the epitome of the suave, debonair actor who may have been rivaled only by dancer extraordinaire Fred Astaire. The films in which Astaire acted may not be especially famous in their own right, but Astaire’s dancing prowess left a lasting impact. 
  If the list was reconstructed today, it is entirely possible that Jimmy Stewart would rank first. Not only have movies such as It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and Vertigo (1958) continued to gain in popularity even into the 21st century, but Stewart has come to embody an accessible image of American values that is easy for everyone to embrace. 
  Over the course of his long, prolific career, Marlon Brando was considered perhaps the greatest actor of the 20th century as well as one of the most complicated and misunderstood. Uniquely able to be both emotionally charged and technically constrained in the same performance, he single-handedly changed the direction of not only the American style of acting, influencing successors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and even Johnny Depp, but the acting profession on a global scale.

  Growing up around music, young George was inspired to piece together a makeshift drum set and teach himself to play as he practiced in the dark, dank basement of his rundown New Jersey townhouse. 
   
   
   
  He soon joined forces with his friends to form a group called the Jazziacs, which then evolved into Kool & The Gang, a band that began charting hits while its members were still teenagers. By evolving their sound as musical tastes changed, the band was able to stay on the charts for decades, scoring twelve Top 10 hits in Funk, R&B, Pop, and Rock, and selling over seventy million albums while navigating the highs and lows of their career. 
   
   
   
  In Too Hot, drummer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter George Brown describes life in and out of the band, including a raucous life on the road as the band's popularity grew. He weathered the ups and downs of his musical career and navigated many challenges, including prescription drug addiction and depression. 
   
   
   
  George shares how his recent cancer scare, and subsequent treatment, compelled him to share his story, warts and all, to give listeners a glimpse into a band whose reputation was considered relatively tame, when in reality, it was exactly the opposite.

  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Batman Begins (2005) is a dark, gritty reboot of the Batman franchise, directed by Christopher Nolan. The film explores the origin story of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), from the tragic murder of his parents to his journey of self-discovery and training across the world. As Wayne returns to Gotham City, he battles crime and corruption, ultimately adopting the identity of Batman to fight the city's overwhelming criminal underworld. The film blends psychological depth, moral dilemmas, and a realistic portrayal of a superhero's struggles, with themes of fear, justice, and redemption at its core. It redefines Batman as a complex, relatable character. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Christian Bale performed many of his own stunts but was not allowed near the Batmobile.” 
    
  “Christian Bale’s discomfort with his Batman outfit contributed to his portrayal of the Dark Knight, as he was often in a bad mood when wearing it.” 
    
  “Director Christopher Nolan personally oversaw every shot during the entire 129-day shoot, as he decided not to use a second unit.” 
    
  “Much of Batman’s gear, including his cape and suit, is inspired by real-life military technology.” 
    
  “Christian Bale lost his voice three times during filming due to the vocal strain of portraying Batman.”
