Maya Deren and the American Avant-Garde

University of California Press, 2001

SKip the book see the films
Unless you really need to impress a hippie boomer professor with Avant-Garde verbal overkill I would urge you to just take Deren's films at face value and make your own, rather than wading through her dreary overwrought prose.

Introduction to Documentary:

Bill Nichols

Indiana University Press, 2001

A fine introduction.
I don't think I've written a review on Amazon.com in almost ten years, but when I saw that this fine book had one review -- for one star -- I wanted to offer something of a corrective. As its title states, this is an introduction to the critical study of ...

Representing Reality: Issues and Concepts in Documentary

Bill Nichols

Indiana University Press, 1991

A Due Question for Documentary
Representing Reality theorizes documentary in all-round perspectives. Among others, I think this book is important especially in that it raises the question of reality per se. Documentary has always been marginal not only in discourse but also in cinema industry, ...

Blurred Boundaries: Questions of Meaning in Contemporary Culture

Bill Nichols

Indiana University Press, 1994

Blah

The original Movies and Methods volume (1976) captured the dynamic evolution of film theory and criticism into an important new discipline, incorporating methods from structuralism, semiotics, and feminist thought.

The One-Minute Meditator: Relieving Stress and Finding Meaning in Everyday Life

Bill Birchard, David A. Nichol

Da Capo Press, 2001

If you want to learn about meditation, read this book!
I have meditated daily for the last 3 years and have found this book very helpful. I had let my meditations become more "routine" than "mindful". The very easy excercises through out the book helped me find my center again. I would recommend this book to anyone at any ...
