Human experience of the Solar System is changing rapidly. Techniques of observation from Earth-based telescopes continue to develop, while missions such as Voyager, Galileo, Cassini, and the Hubble Space Telescope have yielded many stunning images. So although most people have some knowledge of the essential structure of the Solar System, relatively few are familiar with the amazing diversity of objects that travel with and amongst the planets in their journeys around the Sun. The book gathers images from a rich pool, many from national and international organizations such as NASA and ESA, some directly from academic astronomers, and a few from private individuals. Together they tell a story of the Solar System, and of its beauty, that has not been told before.AstronomySolar systemPictorial worksElectronic books.Astronomy.523.2Brodie David953029MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458401003321Ice, rock, and beauty2154642UNINA01538nam 2200397 a 450 991069937040332120230902161558.0(CKB)5470000002402210(OCoLC)501191484(EXLCZ)99547000000240221020100121d2003 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAviation[electronic resource] transport services agreement between the United States of America and Senegal, signed at Washington, January 11, 2001 with annexes[Washington, D.C.] :U.S. Dept. of State,[2003?]1 electronic resource (50 unnumbered pages)Treaties and other international acts series ;13134Title from title screen (viewed on Jan. 21, 2010).Treaties and other international acts series ;13134.Aviation Aeronautics, CommercialLaw and legislationUnited StatesAeronautics, CommercialLaw and legislationSenegalAeronautics, CommercialInternational cooperationAeronautics, CommercialLaw and legislationAeronautics, CommercialLaw and legislationAeronautics, CommercialInternational cooperation.United States.Department of State.GPOGPOBOOK9910699370403321Aviation799860UNINA04706nam 2200985Ia 450 991078441860332120200520144314.097866123586920-520-94020-21-282-35869-31-4294-6792-40-520-90399-410.1525/9780520940208(CKB)1000000000354336(EBL)291348(OCoLC)476049720(SSID)ssj0000241654(PQKBManifestationID)11199806(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000241654(PQKBWorkID)10298761(PQKB)11302452(MiAaPQ)EBC291348(OCoLC)126845972(MdBmJHUP)muse30431(DE-B1597)518918(DE-B1597)9780520940208(Au-PeEL)EBL291348(CaPaEBR)ebr10170973(CaONFJC)MIL235869(dli)HEB08143(MiU)MIU01000000000000009642533(EXLCZ)99100000000035433620060802d2007 ub 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrScenes of instruction[electronic resource] the beginnings of the U.S. study of film /Dana PolanBerkeley University of California Pressc20071 online resource (420 p.)"An Ahmanson foundation book in the humanities"--P.

Using extensive archival research, Dana Polan looks at, for example, Columbia University's early classes on Photoplay Composition; lectures at the New School for Social Research by famed movie historian Terry Ramsaye; the film industry's sponsorship of a business course on film at Harvard; and attempts by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to create programs of professionalized education at the University of Southern California, Stanford, and elsewhere. Polan examines a wide range of thinkers who engaged with the new art of film, from Marxist Harry Alan Potamkin to sociologist Frederic Thrasher to Great Books advocates Mortimer Adler and Mark Van Doren.Motion picturesStudy and teachingUnited StatesMotion picture industryacademy of motion picture arts and sciences.american cinema.american film history.art of cinema.business course on film.cinema.film industry.film studies.film.frederic thrasher.great books advocates.harry alan potamkin.historical.history of film studies.mark van doren.marxism.mortimer adler.movie studies.movies.new school for social research.photoplay composition.retrospective.sociology.terry ramsaye.united states of america.Motion picturesStudy and teachingMotion picture industry.791.43071/073Polan Dana B.1953-889031MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784418603321Scenes of instruction2320192UNINA
