From the people who turned teacher education on its ear in Australia in 2001 comes a text about preparing the next generation of teachers. Richard Smith and David Lynch, two of Australia''s leading teacher education researchers and the architects of the acclaimed Bachelor of Learning Management program (BLM), take their previously published ideas about teaching and teacher education further to detail a new paradigm in the preparation of teachers. Drawing on 30 years of teacher education research and their own experiences in redeveloping teacher education in Australia, Smith and Lynch explore what it means to be a teacher in the 2000s, outlining a new vision for the preparation of teachers in a Knowledge Age.

A nicely structured, lightly acidic addition to the handy Snob’s Dictionary series, decoding the baffling world of winespeak from A to Z. Wine Snob. The very phrase seems redundant, doesn''t it? When faced with this snobbiest of snobberies, the civilian wine enthusiast needs the help of savvy translators like David Kamp and David Lynch. Their Wine Snob’s Dictionary delivers witty explication of both old-school oeno-obsessions (What''s claret? Who''s Michael Broadbent?) and such new-wave terms as "malolactic fermentation" and "fruit bomb." Among the other things Kamp and Lynch demystify: Finish: the Snob code-term for "aftertaste." (Robert Parker includes the stopwatch-measured length of a wine''s finish in his ratings.) Meritage: an American wine classification that rhymes with "heritage," and should NEVER be pronounced "meri-TAHJ." Terroir: that elusive quality of vineyard soil that has sommeliers talking of "gunflint," "leather," and "candied fruits" Featuring ripe, luscious, full-bodied illustrations by Snob''s Dictionary stalwart Ross MacDonald, The Wine Snob’s Dictionary is as heady and sparkling as a vintage Taittinger, only much less expensive... and much more giggle-inducing. Cheers!

David Lynch ne fait rien comme personne. Aussi, lorsqu''il décide de prendre la plume pour parler de lui, de ses idées, de ses films, de sa méthode de travail, de sa vision du monde, c''est un livre comme aucun autre qu''il nous donne. Los Angeles. Les rapports entre O.J. Simpson et Lost Highway. La méditation transcendantale. La façon dont naissent les idées. Une rencontre avec Fellini. La texture des corps en putréfaction. L''avenir du cinéma. L''élaboration de certaines scènes de Twin Peaks. Le coffret et la clé de Mulholland Drive. Le pin d''Oregon. Le lien entre une ampoule pour sapin de Noël et un homme venu de Pologne avec d''étranges lunettes. Autant de pièces d''un puzzle surprenant. unique, déstabilisant. Un livre aussi original qu''un film de David Lynch.

In this "unexpected delight,"* filmmaker David Lynch describes his personal methods of capturing and working with ideas, and the immense creative benefits he has experienced from the practice of meditation. Now in a beautiful paperback edition, David Lynch''s Catching the Big Fish provides a rare window into the internationally acclaimed filmmaker''s methods as an artist, his personal working style, and the immense creative benefits he has experienced from the practice of meditation. Catching the Big Fish comes as a revelation to the legion of fans who have longed to better understand Lynch''s personal vision. And it is equally compelling to those who wonder how they can nurture their own creativity. Catching Ideas Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you''ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They''re huge and abstract. And they''re very beautiful. I look for a certain kind of fish that is important to me, one that can translate to cinema. But there are all kinds of fish swimming down there. There are fish for business, fish for sports. There are fish for everything. Everything, anything that is a thing, comes up from the deepest level. Modern physics calls that level the Unified Field. The more your consciousness-your awareness-is expanded, the deeper you go toward this source, and the bigger the fish you can catch. --from Catching the Big Fish

A la fin des années soixante-dix, Eraserhead parvient sur les écrans français, déjà auréolé depuis New York de sa réputation de film-culte. Pour les spectateurs qui le découvrent, le film est une expérience, un choc d''images et de sons qui n''en laissera aucun indifférent. Les films suivants de David Lynch, Elephant Wan, Dune, Blue lielvet, Sailor et Lula, Lost Highway, ont permis au public de découvrir un cinéaste visionnaire, puisant son inspiration dans les différents domaines artistiques auxquels il s''était tout d''abord destiné, comme la peinture, la photographie, les arts plastiques. Cinéaste américain né à Missoula, Montana, comme il le rappelle à l''envi, il aime à planter le décor de ses fictions - dont la plus célèbre à ce titre est la série Tivin Peaks - dans de petites villes proches de la nature. Mais les nombreux admirateurs de ses films savent bien que ses histoires d''Amérique s''incarnent dans un monde à part, qui n''appartient qu''à lui, et qui a d''ailleurs son nom propre, le Lynchland. Au Cours de ses entretiens avec Chris Rodley, David Lynch parle librement de ses films - de ceux dont il est fier comme de ceux qu''il considère comme des échecs - et aussi de toutes ses autres activités : la peinture et la photographie, qu''il pratique avec passion ; son travail pour la télévision, la publicité et le spectacle vivant; et ses nombreuses collaborations musicales avec Julee Cruise et Angelo Badalamenti. L''album est largement illustré des archives personnelles de David Lynch.
