This screenplay of the controversial 1954 "film of persuasion" about a strike in a New Mexico zinc mine is extraordinary in its effort to deal with the struggles of workers and women, as they strive for dignity and equality. The film was the unique product of a collaboration between the mining families and blacklisted Hollywood people. The film's narrator and protagonist is a Mexican-American woman who grows in consciousness and effectiveness through her participation in the community struggle. Rosenfelt’s analysis of the background, history, and significance of both the strike and the film includes a discussion of the change in status of the women who took part in this strike.

Although much has been written about submarine action in World War II, practically nothing is known of the early submarines and their crews during World War I. Because of the limitations of these early vessels, submarine activity was largely confined to the Mediterranean sea. The authors have produced an extremely details record of early submarine action, compiled from official sources and encompassing the countries involved in the conflict. Their account is supported by a wealth of photographs never before published.

The opening of the Sainsbury Wing marks a dual achievement: a building of world-class quality and a new home for one of the finest holdings of Early Renaissance paintings. In both respects Robert Venturi's building represents a milestone in architecture. In his guide to the new Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery, Michael Wilson describes the building, its elegant galleries, the great paintings they house, and the many other facilities, such as the temporary exhibition rooms, lecture theatre and computerized information room. He tells how the gift of the Sainsbury brothers made possible an entire new building for the Gallery, and how Robert Venturi was selected as architect. He describes how the new galleries were specifically designed for the Early Renaissance collection, and the care that has been taken to provide the best possible environment for the pictures in terms of climate and lighting. The collection is rich in outstanding works, and Michael Wilson here tells the story of how many were acquired and how it has been decided to present them in the new galleries - taking the reader on a tour of the rooms. This illustrated souvenir provides a fitting momento of a remarkable building and the treasures it contains.
