Cary Grant famously said, Everyone wants to be Cary Grant--even I want to be Cary Grant. His development of the movie-star image required serious work, but he also played a variety of characters that demanded many different performing talents. He was equally skilled in screwball farces suchas The Awful Truth, dark suspense films like Notorious, romantic love stories such as An Affair to Remember, domestic comedies similar to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, and social dramas including None but the Lonely Heart. Some Versions of Cary Grant is focused on the art of one of the mostadmired actors in Hollywood history. In a lively style accompanied by many illustrations, author James Naremore analyses Grant's performances in a gallery of his best films, demonstrating exceptional skill and a greater range than that with which he is usually credited. Discussing his most famous and forgotten films alike, Naremore's book shows how Grant adjusted his technique to the different styles and wo

Whether regarded as a science, an art, or a skill–and it can properly be regarded as all three–logic is the basis of our ability to think, analyze, argue, and communicate. Indeed, logic goes to the very core of what we mean by human intelligence. In this concise, crisply readable book, distinguished professor D. Q. McInerny offers an indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’s Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. As McInerny notes, logic is a deep, wide, and wonderfully varied field, with a bearing on every aspect of our intellectual life. A mastery of logic begins with an understanding of right reasoning–and encompasses a grasp of the close kinship between logical thought and logical expression, a knowledge of the basic terms of argument, and a familiarity with the pitfalls of illogical thinking. Accordingly, McInerny stru
