Beginning with Huygens' magic lantern and ending in the current electronic era, it explains cinema's scientific foundations and the development of parallel enabling technologies alongside the lives of the innovators. Product development issues, business and marketplace factors, the interaction of aesthetic and technological demands, and the patent system all play key roles in the tale. The topics are covered sequentially, with detailed discussion of the transition from the magic lantern to Edison's invention of the 35mm camera, the development of the celluloid cinema, and the transition from celluloid to digital. Unique and essential reading from a lifetime innovator in the field of cinema technology, this engaging and well-illustrated book will appeal to anyone interested in the history and science of cinema, from movie buffs to academics and members of the motion picture industry.CinematographyHistoryMotion picture camerasHistoryMotion picture industryHistoryMotion picture camerasHistory.fastCinematographyHistory.Motion picture camerasHistory.Motion picture industryHistory.Motion picture cameras.777.09Lipton Lenny1940-971728MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483492503321The cinema in flux2209292UNINA04040nam 2200637 450 991078713660332120230801233631.01-5017-5669-91-60909-077-210.1515/9781501756696(CKB)3710000000274817(EBL)3382593(SSID)ssj0001115130(PQKBManifestationID)12473087(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001115130(PQKBWorkID)11082486(PQKB)10164129(MiAaPQ)EBC3382593(OCoLC)868082727(MdBmJHUP)muse29644(Au-PeEL)EBL3382593(CaPaEBR)ebr10950078(OCoLC)923310893(DE-B1597)572252(DE-B1597)9781501756696(EXLCZ)99371000000027481720141016h20122012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAdenauer's foreign office West German diplomacy in the shadow of the Third Reich /Thomas W. Maulucci, Jr. ; Shaun Allshouse, designDeKalb, Illinois :NIU Press,2012.©20121 online resource (404 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-87580-463-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.The Auswärtiges Amt of the German Reich, 1871-1945 -- The foreign affairs question in occupied Germany, 1945-49 -- The return of the German diplomats -- Foreign policy without a foreign office, 1949-51 -- The foreign office's childhood illnesses, 1949-55 -- Personnel policy, 1949-55 -- The leadership structure in the Auswärtiges Amt, 1951-55 -- The career diplomats and Adenauer's foreign policy.The creation of the Foreign Office under Adenauer tells us much about the possibilities and limits of professional diplomacy in the mid-twentieth century. It also demonstrates three themes central to the early history of the Federal Republic: the integration of the new state into the international community, the cooptation of German elites and traditions by the new political system, and the creation of government in a state under foreign occupation.In this important study, Thomas Maulucci argues that, despite an improvised start and a considerable continuity of practice and personnel with pre-1945 Germany, the changed international anddomestic situation proved decisive in creating a ministry that could help to implement new directions in German foreign policy. In addition, Maulucci explores the interactions between international, political, and social history, contributing to a literature that bridges the gap between the pre- and post-World War Two eras that characterized previous writing on German history.Based on extensive research in German, American, British, and French archives, Adenauer's Foreign Office is the only English-language book of its kind. The troubling question of personnel continuity in the German diplomatic service is of considerable importance today, especially because of the Foreign Office's previous attempts to portray its past in the best possible light. Of interest to scholars and students of German history and politics as well as non-specialists, this book provides new insights into post-war diplomacy, the sociology of German elites, and the problems involved in creating a new government after losing a major war.HISTORY / Europe / GermanybisacshGermany (West)Foreign relationsGermanyHistory1945-1955German Federal Republic, German political system, West German elites.HISTORY / Europe / Germany.327.43009/045Maulucci Thomas W.1566024Allshouse ShaunMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787136603321Adenauer's foreign office3836269UNINA
