It blends humor, adventure, and heartfelt moments while providing a unique look at the human mind. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“At the end of the movie with the cat, the background poster reads "sure locks for homes," a playful reference to Sherlock Holmes.” 
  
“Bing Bong reminisces over a recent memory of Riley, feeling she has grown too large to fit in the wagon. This moment leads to a quiet realization that his time is running out and he may be a burden.” 
  
“Bing Bong's final line is often misquoted as "Take her to the moon for me, Joy." The actual line is "Take her to the moon for me, okay?" 
  
“Joy is often viewed as the only positive emotion in the movie, while the other emotions are seen as negative. However, the film shows that no emotion is inherently positive or negative.”

We're Falling Through Space -...

J. David Reed

It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'

Art History Chinese art

Stephen W. Bushell, Pierre...

As the centre of Far-Eastern art, China has always fascinated Westerners, who take an interest in its religious leaders and savants as much as in its artists. Sophisticated and mysterious, Chinese art has persistently developed for 10,000 years through unequalled talent, which long ago established its artistic preeminence. Admired and imitated by all, today Chinese paintings and porcelain are the timeless reminders of a decadent past which continues to astound people around the world. Dealing not only with architecture, sculpture and painting but also with bronze and porcelain, this text offers a complete panorama of Chinese arts and civilisation until the fall of the Empire in 1911.
