Sommario/riassunto

Cinematic Journeys explores the interconnected histories, theories and aesthetics of mobile vision and cinematic movement. It traces the links between certain types of movement of/in the frame and broader cultural trends that have historically informed Western sensibilities. It contextualises that genealogy with detailed analysis of contemporary and recent 'travel films' as well as older works.  The book investigates how movements of exploration, discovery and revelation are activated in specific cinematic narratives of travelling and displacement. Such narratives are analysed with attention

Sommario/riassunto

The era of the comfy, offsite strategy retreat is over-who has the time? Beset by rapid change, leaders have to build the strategy airplane while they fly it. Agile organizations use execution (i.e., performance) to drive strategy. Laura Stack, bestselling author of What to Do When There's Too Much to Do (25,000 copies sold), provides the tools leaders need to adapt.
