      Few films have had the influence and impact of The Blair Witch Project (1999). Its arrival was a horror cinema palette cleanser after a decade of serial killers and postmodern intertextuality, a bare bones 'found footage' trend setter. In this Devil's Advocate, Peter Turner tells the story of the film from his conception and production then provides a unique analysis of the techniques used, their appeal to audiences and the themes that helped make the film such an international hit, including the pionerring internet marketing.

      Both a biography and a study of colonial development, this introductory guide to Livingstone is a critical appraisal of the first man to bring an understanding of central Africa and its problems to the attention of the rest of the world. The text explores Livingstone's background, the times he lived in, and his life as a missionary, doctor, explorer and opponent of the slave trade. It also looks at his remarkable friendship with H.M. Stanley, and the ultimate effect of his work in relation to colonial development and African nationalism.

      "It was night and there was moonlight and firelight when I first saw Africa..." Thus began his love affair with Africa. It was 1959 and Pete Turner, fresh out of the Army after graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology, was on his way to Capetown, South Africa, for an adventure that would change his a seven-month safari with the Airstream Trailer Company caravan for National Geographic. Africa remains a constant source of inspiration and renewal for him. A selection of the finest pictures from those adventures form the basis for African Journey.
