      The Inside Story of Britain's Best Known Investigative Journalist. Famous for his long-running, popular series The Cook Report, which specialised in investigating and exposing criminals and con-men. This book takes a fascinating look behind the scenes of The Cook Report and offers a provocative insight into what makes Roger Cook tick. Compelling, funny and full of great stories, this is a fully revised, updated and expanded edition (the original 'Dangerous Ground' being infamously and mistakenly withdrawn).

      The Cinema of Wim Wenders, the first anthology of scholarly work on Wenders, is a unique anthropology of source materials and selected critical essays on the films of Wim Wenders, a major filmmaker in the so-called New German Cinema movement. His work, probably more than that of any other European director, reflects the tension between the European auteur tradition and the increasing dominance of the American media industry. In both his filmmaking and his critical writing, he explores how the relationship between image and narrative manifests the basic opposition between these two film traditions. This book serves as an introduction to the central concerns of his cinema while situation his work within German film history and the contemporary debates about postmodern film and media theory.
