Hitchcockian Thrillers
During Alfred Hitchcock’s five-decade reign as the screen’s internationally celebrated Master of Suspense, he directed 53 motion pictures. In such Hitchcock gold standard classics as The 39 Steps, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds, he staked his claim as the architect, the O.G. of the thriller. He laid down the rules and rhythm of the genre, created an immediately identifiable visual style, experimented constantly with technique, pushed boundaries, tweaked censors, and shattered the expectations of his audiences -- along with their nerves. In exploiting his private fears and vulnerabilities, Hitchcock was as brilliant as making us think and feel as he was at making us scream and invading our nightmares. His films elevated the form and were among the biggest box-office successes and most influential of their time. They were and are emulated for their fashion sense and, more lastingly, even nudged the culture forward by liberalizing attitudes toward cinematic violence and sexual frankness. Hitchcockian Thrillers: Must-See Films in the Style of the Suspense Master is a curated, opinionated, authoritative, highly personal, lavishly illustrated guide to nine decades of international moviemaking featuring films by directors – beginning in the era of Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, and Sir Carol Reed and moving right up through today’s David Fincher, Steven Soderbergh, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Martin Scorsese – who have all tried to ‘do a Hitchcock.’

Criss-Cross
For the very first time the tense and drama-filled story of the making Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is revealed as author Stephen Rebello takes readers deep into the shadows and light of one of the most subversive, corrosively funny, and beloved suspense thriller masterworks.As entertaining as it is to watch Strangers on a Train, so too is the previously untold backstory that packs all the suspense, drama, and twists of a thriller. After all, what are the hallmarks of a great Hitchcock movie? A larger-than-life, complex cast of characters, each with something to prove, lose, or hide. Check. Tremendous risk, outsized conflict, and emotion as those men and women confront challenges off the set. Check. Feuds, deceptions, unlikely alliances, and double-crosses. Check. Coming off a 5-year-string of flops, Alfred Hitchcock gambled big on adapting Patricia Highsmith's debut novel, which critics called "preposterous" and "unconvincing," in addition to "unsavory," and "sick" (1950s code words for "gay" and "perverted"). Each step of the production was fraught with battles, but Hitchcock masterfully stayed two steps ahead of his opponents as he fought to bring his vision to life. Strangers on a Train became not only a creative high-water mark and box-office smash for Hitchcock, but also kicked off his unmatched decade of classics including Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, and Psycho. Richly documented, meticulously researched, and stylishly written, Criss-Cross is more than an authoritative film book. It is a portrait of an especially politically paranoid, misogynistic, and homophobic era in America, a time of dramatic transition in the entertainment industry, and a day of reckoning for Alfred Hitchcock and a few other talents with whom he made a dark, resonant, and prescient work of art.

Aussie Migrant
Do you think obtaining a Skilled Visa is the hardest part of migrating to Australia? Wait till you start applying for a job out here! Did you know that nearly half of the migrants arriving on a skilled visa claim that securing a job is the toughest challenge one faces upon arrival in Australia? Unless you are one of the fortunate ones who has got a placement before you have even landed in Australia or if you are in a booming industry which is seeking professionals with niche skill sets, your first big break in Australia may take a while. According to one survey, nearly half of the migrants indicate they are "just getting along" or struggling to pay bills? Just 36 percent indicated they were employed, while 20 percent were looking for work and the remaining 44 percent were not in the workforce. Lack of Australian experience is actually the biggest barrier any newcomer will face. Poorly written resumes from overseas professionals may fuel employer's doubts about communication. This makes it harder for employers to assess overseas experience. For the first time ever, you now have a book that addresses all the issues every job-seeking migrant may encounter in Australia. This book is a result of years of research and has the tremendous backing of industry experts, from Resume Writers to Career guidance coaches. This book contains guidance from industry leaders on the subject of Resume writing, Interview preparedness, Addressing Selection Criteria and so much more. The guidance provided by the Sample Resumes, Cover Letters and Selection Criteria are worth over $400 by itself because that is what you would be charged for getting this kind of information by any professional Resume Writer! Don't leave the most crucial aspect of your new life in Australia hanging in the balance. Don't let someone else grab a great opportunity away from you because of lack of preparation and guidance.

Rebellious Follower
How does China pursue science, technology, and innovation? China has emerged as a leading technology power in recent years, and its policies shape issues ranging from geopolitical rivalry to climate change to artificial intelligence. Yet if China's pursuit of science, technology, and innovation (STI) is important, its path is also puzzling. Since 1949, China's party-state has adopted a bewildering array of policymaking approaches in an effort to transform the country into a world science and technology leader. How can we understand the remarkably winding road China has travelled? Rebellious Follower: China's Search for Science, Technology, and Innovation illuminates major shifts in Chinese STI policymaking since the communist revolution, leveraging concepts from political science and public policy. Focusing on the "policy paradigms" that have driven Chinese policymaking in the STI domain, the book highlights two globally influential paradigms from the past century. The book explores how Chinese policymakers have resisted these belief systems at times while adapting them at others. In that way, they have made their country a rebellious follower of foreign ideas.This new theoretical framework offers fresh insights into critical episodes in Chinese history, ranging from the formation of China's scientific establishment in the 1950s to the rise of "innovation-driven development" in the 21st century. Combining cutting-edge theoretical analysis with broad historical scope, the book offers a unique perspective on China's rise as a world leader in science, technology, and innovation.
