Soft cover. Condition: Good. Book in good condition. Light shelf-scuff marks on cover. Previous owner name at top of inside front cover page. Bounty Chords maps a rich and complex cultural history. Beginning with the Bounty mutiny in 1789, Philip Hayward analyzes the establishment of the first Pitcairn Island settlement by mutineers and Tahitians in 1790, the mass relocation to Norfolk Island in 1855, and the subsequent development of the two island communities. Focusing on the central role of song and dance in forging local heritage and identity, Hayward provides a vivid picture of the hybrid societies that developed on Pitcairn and Norfolk islands during the 19th and 20th centuries. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources and his own interactions with musicians and dancers, the author gives a detailed and persuasive account of local practices and their relation to international cultures.

Journal. Condition: Near Fine. (Vol. 16, No. 3). [minor soiling to rear cover, otherwise as new]. (B&W photographs) Most of this issue of this scholarly cinema journal is devoted to the history, technology and aesthetics of 3-D movies, notably: "The Tragedy of 3-D Cinema" by Rick Mitchell; an article about dual-band 3-D cameras of the 1950s, by Ray Zone; and a 3-D filmography, by Gary Palmer. There are also in-depth examinations of how the 3-D process was employed for the films KISS ME KATE and Alfred Hitchcock's DIAL M FOR MURDER. And just so it doesn't get overlooked, in addition to all the 3-D stuff, there's also quite a substantial article (over one-third of the issue) by James Labosier, the very precise title of which is adequately self-explanatory: "From the Kinetoscope to the Nickelodeon: Motion Picture Presentation and Production in Portland, Oregon from 1894 to 1906.".…
