This timely volume explores the massively popular cinema of writer-director James Cameron. It couches Camerons films within the evolving generic traditions of science fiction; melodrama; and the cinema of spectacle. The book also considers Camerons engagement with the aesthetic of visual effects and the now technology of performance-capture which is arguably moving a certain kind of event-movie cinema from photography to something more akin to painting. This book is explicit in presenting Cameron as an authentic auteur; and each chapter is dedicated to a single film in his body of work. Space is also given to discussion of Strange Days as well as his documentary works.

The format for this book is similar to most of the Baby Professor books in this series which have a picture with a paragraph and facts on one page. Then the next page is just a photo. It would have been very simple to either add additional information about the attraction or better yet; have an entire different attraction and description on that page. Ive come to realize that these Baby Professor books usually have something that could easily make them better; but so many of these books are offered for free and the pictures really are amazing; so its tough to complain.There are about 200 books in this ebook series that are offered in the kindle store for either free or for .99cent;. You cant really go wrong with the books offered for free. There is a variety of subjects covered and most of the books follow about the same format. You can take a peek inside the books by clicking "Look Inside" and this is pretty much what you get in each book.Anyway; overall; I do like theses books for their wonderful pictures. It would be nice if the books went into more detail but they are very basic books that I hope will get my kids interested in finding more about each subject.I plan on keeping these books on my iPad for down time for my kids when they get bored waiting different places like the doctors office or practice for a sibling. I sometimes watch a friends 3 year old daughter and she likes to look through the pictures on my phone. I plan on showing her these books to keep her entertained. I think she will love them.***** I received this ebook for free in exchange for my honest review. *****1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. this book is a great readBy crewmomThis is a book in a series of books that I got for my six year old. My kids love science and I try to read to them during the sporting events instead of them playing video games. The books in this series have wonderful pictures along with little facts that go along with them. The words are easy for readers that have been reading for a couple of years but if your child is too young for that this book is great to read to them! The book is written in plan terms that kids can understand. Itrsquo;s a great way to introduce science facts to kids. Each book in this series introduced one particular aspect of science and portrays it in a way that makes kids want to learn more. I plan on recommending this series for the pre-K teacher at my sonsrsquo; school who loves to introduce the kids to science.This book is just beautiful. The close up pictures of the wolves and foxes are just breathtaking. I love the details in them. You can see the animals in their natural activities. I really enjoyed reading this to my kids. I recommend it to anyone with kids. I anticipate having to read this book again to the kids.I received this book at a free or reduced price in exchange for providing an honest and unbiased review.Wolves and Foxes in the Wild Fun Facts: Animal Encyclopedia for Kids - Wildlife (Childrens Animal Books)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is an excellent ebook for kidsBy rkreviewerThis is an excellent ebook for kids! As a teacher of elementary students; I would love to incorporate this ebook into a small group activity where I present a main idea or topic to the whole class and then they break up in small groups and discover more material on their own. My mind was continuously racing as I read through this book thinking of different projects I could make on this topic. It is the perfect age group to let them use a kindle to explore and what a better way to do so than with this ebook! I will totally let other teachers know of this opportunity and will keep this seller in mind with other ebooks available. I received this product free for reviewing purposes; however my opinions are all my own.
