marvel at in this terrific book.”

(starred review)“In my family, the name Dan
Talbot resonated like that of
the Archangel Gabriel. He was
the artists’ champion. Dan was
my father Roberto Rossellini’s
guardian angel when his films were
shown in America. This book is
a powerful reminder of Dan and
Toby’s enthusiasm and warmth for
filmmakers and their art.”—Isabella Rossellini,
award-winning actor, author,
and producerExplorers of
Deep TimePaleontologists
and the History of LifeROY PLOTNICK“A highly informative book
for people in and outside of
palaeontology. Plotnick’s humour
and anecdotes ensure it is not a
dry read. If you are curious about
what palaeontologists do or you
are thinking of pursuing it as a
career, this book is vital reading.”

synoptic power ... Melnick tracks
how Hollywood planted its flag
from Cairo to Rio and beyond,
transmitting American values,
colonizing consciousnesses, and
raking in cash. It is a fascinating
story, splendidly told.”
