The goal to which this work leads is the Theorem of Hurwitz - that the only normed algebras over the real numbers are the real numbers, the complex numbers, the quaternions, and the octonions. Unique in presenting this material at an elementary level, the book stresses the complete logical development of the subject and will provide a bavuable reference for mathematicians in general. 410 0$aUniversitext,$x0172-5939 606 $aMatrix theory 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aLinear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11094 615 0$aMatrix theory. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 14$aLinear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory. 676 $a512/.5 700 $aCurtis$b Morton L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$045893 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480731603321 996 $aAbstract linear algebra$9382827 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04192nam 2200889 a 450 001 9910778492703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-35906-1 010 $a9786612359064 010 $a0-520-93287-0 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520932876 035 $a(CKB)1000000000799421 035 $a(EBL)470989 035 $a(OCoLC)609850136 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000296916 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12106363 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000296916 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10328157 035 $a(PQKB)10618579 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470989 035 $a(DE-B1597)518825 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520932876 035 $a(dli)HEB08180 035 $a(MiU)MIU01000000000000011659279 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000799421 100 $a20070104d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Frodo franchise$b[electronic resource] $ethe Lord of the rings and modern Hollywood /$fKristin Thompson 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (431 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-520-25813-4 311 $a0-520-24774-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tContents --$tIllustrations --$tPreface and acknowledgments --$tInterviews --$tAbbreviations --$tIntroduction: Sequel-itis --$tChapter 1.

The phrase comes up over and over from the people who worked on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings. The film's seventeen Oscars, record-setting earnings, huge fan base, and hundreds of ancillary products attest to its importance and to the fact that Rings is far more than a film. Its makers seized a crucial moment in Hollywood-the special effects digital revolution plus the rise of "infotainment" and the Internet-to satisfy the trilogy's fans while fostering a huge new international audience. The resulting franchise of franchises has earned billions of dollars to date with no end in sight. Kristin Thompson interviewed seventy-six people to examine the movie's scripting and design and the new technologies deployed to produce the films, video games, and DVDs. She demonstrates the impact Rings had on the companies that made it, on the fantasy genre, on New Zealand, and on independent cinema. In fast-paced, compulsively readable prose, she affirms Jackson's Rings as one the most important films ever made. 606 $aLord of the Rings films$xHistory and criticism 610 $aacademic. 610 $ablockbuster. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $afamous author. 610 $afamous literature. 610 $afamous movies. 610 $afantasy creatures. 610 $afantasy literature. 610 $afantasy novel. 610 $afantasy. 610 $afilm franchise. 610 $afranchise. 610 $afrodo. 610 $ahobbits. 610 $ahollywood. 610 $ainteractive. 610 $alord of the rings. 610 $amiddle earth. 610 $amodern hollywood. 610 $apop culture. 610 $apromotions. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $atolkien. 615 0$aLord of the Rings films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43/75 686 $aAP 59800$qHBZ$2rvk 700 $aThompson$b Kristin$f1950-$0443603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778492703321 996 $aThe Frodo franchise$93773376 997 $aUNINA
