Hirshenson and Jenkins got their start casting for Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios. When the studio went bust, they opened their own office, the Casting Company, and their book reminisces about the many films they've cast, including Harry Potter and A Beautiful Mind; the actors they've discovered, such as Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson; and some of the A-list directors, like Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg, who hired them. Given the authors' credentials (they have been casting partners since 1981), consider the advice they offer blue-chip. They cover everything from how to handle a call-back to telling actors to send head shots "that actually look like you." Most important, never take anything personally. A great audition doesn't always translate into a role: there are many factors that determine the final decision, such as chemistry, preference and competition. These veteran insiders have a passion for casting major motion pictures, and they use meetings with famous people to il

Clubs by their definition offer 'exclusivity': to be a member ofa club you have to meet the selected criteria, whatever that mightbe. The image of a club becomes the key to how its members identifywith it - be it the relaxed wholesome logos of health clubs; or thesleek aerodynamic images found in business-class airline lounges.This issue of AD sets out to examine how architects and interiordesigners effectively use the physical spaces of clubs to enforceimages of exclusivity and collective belonging. Traditionalgentlemen's clubs are looked at alongside a new generation ofsports, media, commercial and night clubs that are springing upacross the world. It also features interviews with Nigel Coates andDavid Adjaye.

PAUL C?ZANNE (1839-1906) is an important figure in the progressof modern European painting. In his dedicated concern with form andstructure, he stands apart from the mainstream of Impressionistpainting, extending its range into a new art of visualanalysis. Cézanne, sensitive and shy, shunned the Parisian café society ofhis fellow artists, preferring to live and work alone in his nativeProvence which provided the inspiration for so many of hispaintings. Less immediately appealing to a wider audience than, forexample, Monet and Degas, Cézanne is nonetheless of immenseimportance through the influence he exerted on so many of theartists who followed him, such as Picasso and Matisse. Blessed with financial independence through the efforts of hisbanker father, he fortunately enjoyed a freedom to pursue his artwithout the demands of making a living felt by so many of hisfellow artists.

The official inside story on the making of the award-winning movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy is a lavishly illustrated, behind-the-scenes, definitive account of the creation of an epic film experience. Hailed by critics worldwide, part one of the movie trilogy was a box-office smash, one of the most successful films of the decade. Peter Jackson's "fierce, imaginative movie takes high-flying risks and inspires with its power and scale," wrote Newsweek. "In every way this is moviemaking on a grand scale," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle, while Time proclaimed the "grandeur, moral heft and emotional depth" of the film, which received thirteen Academy Award(R) nominations. Including more than 300 photographs from all three films, most unique to this book, and exclusive interviews with all the cast and crew, Brian Sibley's fascinating book takes every fan inside the process of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork for the screen. For the first time in histor
