The Blade Runner Experience: The Legacy of a Science Fiction Classic
Since its release in 1982, Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," based on Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," has remained a cult classic through its depiction of a futuristic Los Angeles; its complex, enigmatic plot; and its underlying questions about the nature of human identity. "The Blade Runner Experience: The Legacy of a Science Fiction Classic" examines the film in a broad context, examining its relationship to the original novel, the PC game, the series of sequels, and the many films influenced by its style and themes. It investigates "Blade Runner" online fandom and asks how the film's future city compares to the present-day Los Angeles, and it revisits the film to pose surprising new questions about its characters and their world.

The Reluctant Metropolis: The Politics of Urban Growth in Los Angeles by William B. Fulton, ISBN 0801865069
In twelve engaging essays, William Fulton chronicles the history of urban planning in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, tracing the legacy of short-sighted political and financial gains that has resulted in a vast urban region on the brink of disaster. Looking at such diverse topics as shady real estate speculations, the construction of the Los Angeles subway, the battle over the future of South Central L.A. after the 1992 riots, and the emergence of Las Vegas as "the new Los Angeles," Fulton offers a fresh perspective on the city's epic sprawl. The only way to reverse the historical trends that have made Los Angeles increasingly unliveable, Fulton concludes, is to confront the prevailing "cocoon citizenship," the mind-set that prevents the city's inhabitants and leaders from recognizing Los Angeles's patchwork of communities as a single metropolis.

Bob Miller's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings
For nearly four decades the Los Angeles Kings have made history and entertained hockey fans throughout Southern California. For 31 of those seasons Bob Miller has been the "Voice of the Kings" as the play by-play man for more than 2,500 games, including regular, pre-and postseason contests. He has seen just about all of the high and low points in Kings history, as well as the many great players who have worn the Los Angeles uniform. The Kings are, of course, not just an ordinary NHL franchise, especially when it comes to mixing Hollywood with hockey. In Bob Miller's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings, the Hall of Fame broadcaster gives readers his insight into the Kings' owners, from the legendary Jack Kent Cooke to the flamboyant Jerry Buss. He also talks about owner Bruce McNall, who made the deal for superstar Wayne Gretzky and put Los Angeles on the hockey map, but who eventually lost the franchise by overspending.

Screening the Los Angeles 'Riots': Race, Seeing, and Resistance by Darnell M. Hunt, ISBN 0521578140
On April 29, 1992, the "worst riots of the century" (Los Angeles Times) erupted. Television newsworkers tried frantically to keep up with what was happening on the streets while, around the city, nation and globe, viewers watched intently as leaders, participants, and fires flashed across their television screens. Screening the Los Angeles "riots" zeroes in on the first night of these events, exploring in detail the meanings one news organization found in them, as well as those made by fifteen groups of viewers in the events' aftermath. Combining ethnographic and quasi-experimental methods, Darnell M. Hunt's account reveals how race shapes both television's construction of news and viewers' understandings of it. He engages with the longstanding debates about the power of television to shape our thoughts versus our ability to resist, and concludes with implications for progressive change.

Los Angeles Houses by Cristina Montes, ISBN 3823855948
Architecture is perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Los Angeles, but there's no doubt that the city has its own unique style. Large in scale, its rolling, densely lit nightscape suggests the pockets of heavy population that spread out from downtown. In fact, most people from LA don?t actually live there, but in a suburb. The result of all this suburban living is a hugely diverse residential area with spectacular houses in the hills and canyons, surrounded by trees and stunning views of the city. This book examines some of the highlights of domestic living around Los Angeles, and points out some of the major influences: Art Deco, Spanish, and contemporary architecture; spacious, light-filled rooms; and plenty of wood, steel and concrete. It examines how the city's flamboyant past has shaped the landscape, as well as how cutting-edge architects and interior designers continue to create exciting new styles and structures.
