Softcover. Condition: Very Good. If necessity is the mother of invention then Kiwi ingenuity is its father. No. 8 Re-wired is a comprehensive, colourful treasury of New Zealand inventions - jam-packed with the stories behind 202 home-grown creations and the crafty people who dreamt them up. From well-known innovations (human flight, the discovery of DNA, the pavlova) to lesser-known feats (instant coffee, the referee's whistle, the electronic petrol pump) to the newest in high-tech world-firsts (robots and jetpacks!), it is the most complete and entertaining book ever on Kiwi ingenuity. And, yes, the pav is definitely ours. A surprising and absorbing account of Kiwi can-do, and a celebration of the No. 8 wire spirit on which New Zealand is built, it's also a revealing look at how innovation can power us into the future. 'No. 8 Re-wired brilliantly celebrates New Zealanders' disrespect for the status quo.' -Sir Ray Avery. Large; Heavy. 272 pages.…

soft cover. Condition: fine. first edition. Photographie de plateau en noir et blanc de ZAMBA sur papier fort format A4 en très belle condition. William A. Berke (crédité le plus souvent William Berke ou William Lester)1 est un acteur, producteur (de cinéma et de télévision), réalisateur et scénariste américain, né le 3 octobre 1903 à Milwaukee (Wisconsin), mort le 15 février 1958 à Los Angeles (Californie). Sous le pseudonyme de William Lester, il débute au cinéma comme acteur et apparaît ainsi dans dix-sept films muets américains, les cinq premiers (des courts métrages) sortis en 1918, le dernier en 1924. Quasiment tous sont des westerns (à l'exception du drame Gentle Julia de Rowland V. Lee en 1923), genre auquel il reviendra souvent au long de sa carrière. Son premier film comme scénariste est Barb-Wire de Frank Grandon, sorti en 1922, où il est également acteur, aux côtés de Jack Hoxie. Suivent à ce poste soixante-dix-neuf autres films (parfois, comme auteur de l'histoire originale ou adaptateur), les deux derniers sortis en 1950. Comme producteur (souvent associé), il contribue à soixante-dix-huit films sortis de 1933 à 1958. Plusieurs (des westerns) sont réalisés par George Sherman, dont Pals of the Saddle (1938) et New Frontier (1939), tous deux avec John Wayne et Ray Corrigan. Citons également le film de guerre J'ai vécu l'enfer de Corée (1951, avec Gene Evans et Robert Hutton), que son réalisateur Samuel Fuller et lui co-produisent. À ce titre, il collabore aussi à trois séries télévisées dans les années 1950, dont The Goldbergs (en) (onze épisodes, 1953-1956). Enfin, William Berke est le réalisateur de quatre-vingt-six films, les trois premiers étant des westerns de court métrage sortis en 1934-1935. Mentionnons Dick Tracy (1945, avec Morgan Conway (en) dans le rôle-titre et Anne Jeffreys), Coeur de gosses (Rolling Home, 1946), avec Jean Parker et Russell Hayden) et J'ai tué Billy le Kid (1950, avec Don Barry dans le rôle-titre et Robert Lowery), les deux derniers dont il est en outre producteur. À noter sept films d'aventure avec Johnny Weissmuller dans le rôle récurrent de Jungle Jim, dont La Charge sauvage (en) (1951).…
