Na přelomu 80. a 90. let vystoupala Lynchova kariéra do závratných výšin. K Modrému sametu (1986) přibyla Zběsilost v srdci (1990) a seriál Městečko Twin Peaks (pilotní film 1989), který změnil televizi. Lynch se stal věhlasnou ikonou postmoderní kultury a jeho filmy kultovním fenoménem. Fischerova monografie, která česky vyšla roku 1995, zachytila Davida Lynche v tomto vrcholném stadiu a podrobně a barvitě vylíčila celou jeho cestu od undergroundových počátků - půlnoční Mazací hlava (1977), přes první úspěch - „evropská zakázka" Sloní muž (1980) a první propadák - velkoprodukční sci-fi Duna (1984) až k filmové verzi záhady jménem Twin Peaks: Ohni se mnou pojď (1992). Po tomto hektickém období přebujelých aktivit a úspěchů přišel oddechový mezičas a poté zjevení v podobě hypnotické Lost Highway (1996). Tím se započala druhá fáze Lynchovy pozoruhodné kariéry, jejíž osu dále tvoří „pravdivý" Příběh Alvina Straighta (1999) a snově přeludná Mulholland Dr. (2001).... celý text

Java Closures and Lambda introduces you to significant new changes to the Java language coming out of what is termed Project Lambda. These new changes make their debut in Java 8, and their highlight is the long-awaited support for lambda expressions in the Java language. Youℓ́ℓll learn to write lambda expressions and use them to create functional interfaces and default methods for evolving APIs, among many other uses. The changes in Java 8 are significant. Syntax and usage of the language are changed considerably with the introduction of closures and lambda expressions. This book takes you through these important changes from introduction to mastery. Through a set of clear examples, youℓ́ℓll learn to refactor existing code to take advantage of the new language features. Youℓ́ℓll learn what those features can do for you, and when they are best applied. Youℓ́ℓll learn to design and write new code having these important new features in mind from the very beginning. Clearly explains the fantastic benefits resulting from Project Lambda Explains the syntax and IDE support for the new features Shows how to streamline your code by bringing some of the benefits of functional programming to the Java language Illustrates parallelism in closures through Stream and Spliterator objects Explains API evolution by adding methods to existing interfaces without breaking existing interface implementations, a technique addressing potential multiple inheritance issues
