Product Description
Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes. ... Read more

Product Description
To celebrate 25 years of "Index on Censorship", international critics, academics and film-makers from around the world have contributed to this volume to explore why cinema has, throughout the whole of the 20th century, been perceived by authority to be such a dangerous and potentially corrupting medium. These essays seek to bring the many different ways in which film has been, and continues to be, censored: from the obvious banning of films, to hidden methods of suppression such as self-censorship and refusals of funding. Contributors include: James Ivory, Roman Polanski, Milos Forman, Philip French and Arthur C. Clarke. ... Read more

Product Description
This reference book is designed as a road map for researchers who need to find specific information about American mass communication as expeditiously as possible. Taking a topical approach, it integrates publications and organizations into subject-focused chapters for easy user reference. The editors define mass communication to include print journalism and electronic media and the processes by which they communicate messages to their audiences. Included are newspaper, magazine, radio, television, cable, and newer electronic media industries. Within that definition, this volume offers an indexed inventory of more than 1,400 resources on most aspects of American mass communication history, technology, economics, content, audience research, policy, and regulation.

The material featured represents the carefully considered judgment of three experts -- two of them librarians -- plus four contributors from different industry venues. The primary focus is on the domestic American print and electronic media industries. Although there is no claim to a complete census of all materials on print journalism and electronic media -- what is available is now too vast for any single guide -- the most important and useful items are here. The emphasis is on material published since 1980, though useful older resources are included as well. Each chapter is designed to stand alone, providing the most important and useful resources of a primary nature -- organizations and documents as well as secondary books and reports. In addition, online resources and internet citations are included where possible.

Product Description
Frederick Delius is among the most celebrated English composers of the twentieth century. Widely studied and performed, his works are considered models of the British impressionist school and continue to fascinate students and scholars centuries later. But there is no currently available annotated bibliography to his life and work. The body of the book will be increased from 1500 to 2000 entries, with particular emphasis on the last decade's explosion of book-length works on Delius and his music. The goal will be to produce a guide that serves as a ready reference for students andscholars, but will also be interesting to read and useful for anyone who wants to know where to begin to learn more about this important composer. ...
