release of his newest movie EIGHT AND A HALF WOMEN).

his latest project to be distributed online later).
SCHIRMACHER:

Cyber Culture for use in class). Also, I’ll assign short texts from this
essential anthology to be read in conjunction with the BOOK OF THE MONTH.

in Europe it is smart to order US Title with amazon.de if you are able to
navigate your way through a German language web site.)
