Film Remakes
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of the phenomenon of cinematic remaking. Drawing upon recent theories of genre and intertextuality, Film Remakes describes remaking as both an elastic concept and a complex situation, one enabled and limited by the interrelated roles and practices of industry, critics, and audiences. This approach to remaking is developed across three broad sections: the first deals with issues of production, including commerce and authors; the second considers genre, plots, and structures; and the third investigates issues of reception, including audiences and institutions.

Born this Day
This thoroughly updated edition lists 12 significant people born on each day of the year, and includes a quotation from each person that allows a glimpse of their personality. For each date, a diverse dozen speakers were chosen based on prominence; the quality of the quotation; the uniqueness of the speaker with relation to gender, time period, nationality and vocation; and conflicting social, political, religious or philosophical background. In addition to those quoted, each entry lists other significant individuals born on that day.
