With an emphasis on the narrative film, The Art of Watching Films, 9e challenges students to take their film experience further by sharpening their powers of observation, developing the skills and habits of perceptive watching, and discovering complex aspects of film art that they might otherwise overlook. This title introduces the formal elements and production process of films, and helps students analytically view and understand films within their historical, cultural and social contexts. The text presents an analytical framework that can be applied to all movies, as distinctly different as Avatar, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Vertigo, Iron-Man, Man on Wire, and The Hurt Locker.
The book can be used as a reference guide for a variety of foodservice personnel as well as a text for students. As competition for the customer's spending dollar has increased, contemporary restaurants must distinguish themselves by training staff to manage the needs of the customer and to offer consistent service. Service and hospitality mean different things to different foodservice operations, and this book addresses a wide range of mid- and up-scale dining establishments. Chapters cover everything from preparation for service and front-door hospitality to money handling, styles of modern table service, and the relationship between the front- and back-of-the-house. At Your Service uses real-life anecdotes to teach the basic principles of service and hospitality, and this new edition includes the most updated information on serving customers in the contemporary restaurant world.
