Sommario/riassunto

Although Stanley Kubrick adapted novels and short stories, his films deviate in notable ways from the source material. In particular, since '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968), they seem to exploit definitively all cinematic techniques, embodying a compelling visual and aural experience. But, as the author of this book contends, it is for these reasons that Kubrick's cinema becomes the supreme embodiment of the sublime, fruitful encounter between the two arts and, simultaneously, of their independence. Pezzotta concludes that, unlike his predecessors, he creates a cinema not only centred on the ontology of the medium, but on the staging of sublime, new experiences.

Sommario/riassunto

Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, this volume provides a contemporary overview of food processing/packaging technologies. It acquaints the reader with food preservation processes, shelf life and logistical considerations, as well as packaging materials, machines and processes necessary for a wide range of packaging presentations. The new edition addresses environmental and sustainability concerns, and also examines applications of emerging technologies such as RFID and nanotechnology. It is directed at packaging technologists, those involved in the design and development of
