Action Cinema Since 2000 is a trail-blazing, fist-pumping, butterfly kick of a book that will change the way action is conceptualized in cinema studies. With a dream team of editors, and a stellar list of contributors, this book diversifies understandings of action in its careful attention to film production, industry developments, socio-political issues, and cinema aesthetics in an ever-evolving global mediascape. Making the case for action cinema as a mode, rather than a genre, Action Cinema Since 2000 reveals its complexity and nuance.

"… a good book for high school or college students wanting to learn R on their own. Complete mathematical explanations paired with computational examples in R provide an excellent tool for these students to obtain a solid foundation in R."—Erin R. Leatherman, The American Statistician, November 2014
"One of the positive features of this book is its fearlessness. The message is that you are never too young to learn R (the book is aimed at high school and college students) and that the best way to learn is to jump straight into writing R expressions. The author’s enthusiasm for tackling challenges head on also shines off the page. … I am also in favour of the hands-on approach of the book; it is clearly written to be read while sitting at a keyboard. … The problem-based style of the book is another plus, where learning is motivated by first setting up an interesting question to answer. … a lively and interesting introduction to R. It furnishes a lot of useful material for introducing a very powerful tool to enquiring young minds."—Paul Murrell, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 2014
"This book requires no prior knowledge of calculus, programming, or statistics. … the commands and real-world examples are explained very thoroughly. This should make the book suitable for self-study and hold interest for the target group (high school and college-level students) …"—Joonas Kauppinen, International Statistical Review (2013), 81, 2
"An R book for high schoolers! This is an excellent idea, and the quality of the product is equally excellent. It may be suitable for non-calculus-based introductory courses at the college level as well. … Dennis does a good job dispelling the ‘steep learning curve’ myth concerning R … . The writing style is clear and lively, and the examples should appeal to high school students. It is high time that introductory statistics be taught in an engaging manner that reflects our own enthusiasm for the subject, with meaningful data sets, attractive graphics, and so on. Dennis’ book is a fine contribution toward that goal."—Norman Matloff, Journal of Statistical Software, Volume 52, February 2013
"What do you get out of Dennis’s book? You learn how to install R and add-on packages. You learn the basic syntax and discover how to make plots and do basic computations using R. A reader of this book will learn how to do some essential programming in R, and also see it applied to solve interesting example of real scientific problems. Indeed, The R Student Companion makes picking up R quick and easy."—Jason Graham, MAA Reveiws
