  • Life: Picture Puzzle Animals

    The Editors of LIFE

    Paperback (TI Inc. Books, Aug. 19, 2008)
    Dogs — and cats, and hamsters, and even monkeys and tigers — are our best friends. And so, with the sixth book in the phenomenally successful 'Life Picture Puzzle' book series, we offer a menagerie of animal puzzles — 176 pages of them — that will challenge even as they delight. Animal pictures are always the cutest and most heartwarming, and when you play with those pictures (an extra whisker here on Puss, one fewer fish in a school of Nemos, a longer or shorter neck on Mr. Giraffe), the 'awww' factor is off the charts. This book will appeal not only to our dedicated Puzzle fans, but to animal lovers of every stripe (or pattern of spots). By focusing on Animals, LIFE's editors are producing the most smile-inducing Picture Puzzle book yet. Once again, the puzzle in these themed books will be organized according to level of difficulty: novice, master, expert, and genius, with a suggested completion time included for serious puzzlers.

  • LIFE Walt Disney: From Mickey to the Magic Kingdom

    The Editors of LIFE

    eBook (Life, April 22, 2016)
    Disney World is often referred to as the "happiest place on earth" and the character Mickey Mouse is long ingrained in our collective memory. The Walt Disney Company is one of the largest and most valuable companies in the world. But behind all of that was one ambitious small-town farm boy who failed as often as he succeeded, and finally found worldwide fame - thanks to a cartoon mouse.Throughout the rise of Walt Disney, LIFE magazine was there, covering everything from the first Mickey merchandising to the launch of Walt Disney World in 1971, and now in this all-new special edition, LIFE revisits both the man and the magic in LIFE Walt Disney: From Mickey to the Magic Kingdom. Very few people know that as a young entrepreneur, he struggled with bankruptcy, borrowing money until he had a hit with the Mickey Mouse cartoons in the late 1920s. Beloved movies of today - Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi - bombed when first released, and it wasn't until the astronomical success of Disneyland in 1951 that finally put his company into the black.From early days to troubled times, and successes and failures too numerous to count that bring us all to the World of Disney that we all know and love today, LIFE Walt Disney is a fitting tribute to a creative force that has and will continue to influence countless generations for years to come.

  • LIFE Film Noir: 75 Years of the Greatest Crime Films

    The Editors Of LIFE

    eBook (Life, Aug. 19, 2016)
    By incorporating and transforming foreign influences, film noir became a uniquely American art form. Though it was overlooked at first, this powerful genre would give Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum career-defining roles, fuel Joan Crawford's middle-age comeback, and set the stage for the work of Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino. Noir illuminated the dark side of the American dream, but despite its characteristic bleakness, these films are somehow always fun.Film Noir: 75 Years of the Greatest Crime Films revisits 20 of the genre's best, from the first noir The Maltese Falcon to L.A. Confidential. We commence by delving into "Classic Noir," films released between 1941 and 1958 with their angular chiaroscuro and Teutonic angst combined with the influence of pup and hard-boiled crime fiction. Stunning photography walks us through Shadow of a Doubt, Double Indemnity, Laura, Mildred Pierce, Out of the Past, The Third Man, In a Lonely Place, Niagara, The Night of the Hunter, Touch of Evil and more. Next in our "Neo Noir" section, you will see the transformation of noir from 1967 onward with films like Bonnie and Clyde, Dirty Harry, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Body Heat, Blood Simple, Blue Velvet, Pulp Fiction and more. Articles about how the genre was born, tabloids and film noir, offscreen noir, and what factors lead film back to black punctuate these spreads. Enter the cinematic world of "doom, fate, fear, and betrayal," as beloved film critic Roger Ebert said, with Film Noir: 75 Years of the Greatest Crime Films.
