Image and Representation

Key Concepts in Media Studies

By: Nick Lacey

Image and Representation is a clear and straight-talking introduction to two of the most important concepts in film and media studies. Exploring media language and representation throughout a variety of visual texts, the book offers a balanced, in-depth guide to the essential theories and key issues. The book begins by introducing the basic components of image analysis, including mise en scene, framing and anchorage. It then elaborates on these key ideas to provide the reader with a more advanced understanding of media language and representation. From the contribution of semiotics and debates around authorial intent, to ideas about hegemony and issues around propaganda, Nick Lacey offers approachable explanations of complex ideas and terms. The new edition is also now updated to reflect recent changes in the field, with particular attention paid to new media technologies. Each chapter is packed with memorable examples from a wider range of media and provides greater global perspective on today's media landscape. Gradually building up the reader's knowledge to encourage independent thinking, this is an essential resource for students taking courses in media, cultural, communication and film studies at school, college or university.

Her Unexpected Match

By: Lacey Baker

Travel writer Allie Sparks has one goal: to find the story that will save her career. So here she is, visiting her bestie on picturesque Crescent Island—with sun-warmed beaches, the briny smell of the ocean, and rumors of a secret astrologer-matchmaker who guarantees love. Of course, Allie doesn't believe in any of that stuff. If anything, she'll prove it's a total scam. Ryan Parker believes in love—just not right now. He's focused on expanding his family's barbeque business, finding investors, and keeping his too-big Great Dane puppy from jumping on everyone, including his sister's pretty, whiskey-eyed best friend. Besides, falling for a tourist is definitely not in his astrological forecast. Allie is doing everything she can to resist the charm of the town and its beauty, not to mention her attraction to Ryan. But there's a lot more happening on Crescent Island than anyone knows...and when her story goes to print, this tiny, close-knit town might never be the same.

Experiencing Psychiatry

Users’ Views of Services

By: Ron Lacey,Anne Rogers,David Pilgrim

Accessible, entertaining and ultimately optimistic, this book deserves to become a core text for planners, managers and all those working in the field' - Cathy Pelikan. How do psychiatric patients understand their difficulties? What do they say about professionals paid to care for them? Do they really get treated well and enjoy informed consent? These are some of the questions answered by Experiencing Psychiatry. For the first time in Britain this book offers evidence from a large survey of the views of users of psychiatric services. The picture which emerges may surprise readers who have no experience of psychiatry. It will stimulate debate amongst those who make and deliver mental health policy. In particular it challenges the existing model of care and raises wider questions about citizenship for those with mental health problems.

From Sacred to Secular

Visual Images in Early American Publications

By: Barbara E. Lacey

This examination of illustrations in early American books, pamphlets, magazines, almanacs, and broadsides provides a new perspective on the social, cultural, and political environment of the late colonial period and the early republic. American printers and engravers drew upon a rich tradition of Christian visual imagery. Used first to inculcate Protestant doctrines, regional symbolism later served to promote reverence for the new republic. The chapters are devoted to momento mori imagery, children's readers, visionary literature, and illustrated Bibles. One chapter shows the demonization of the Indians even as the Indian was being adopted as a symbol of America. Other chapters deal with propaganda for the American Revolution, canonization of leaders, secularized roles for women, and socialization of sites in the new nation.Throughout, analysis of image and text shows how the religious and the secular contrasted, coexisted, and intermingled in eighteenth-century American illustrated imprints. Barbara E. Lacey is a Professor of history at St. Joseph College. It includes more than 110 illustrations.

Except in the small town of Haven, there's nowhere to hide from Ethan's sexy, infectious grin . . . and all the residents are conspiring against her. At the center of the town's matchmaking is Ethan's grandmother, who's convinced their relationship is a done deal. Rather than break her heart, Gabby and Ethan find themselves cornered into pretending to be falling in love. The problem: there's serious sizzling attraction between them. And if this charade continues, they won't fool just the entire town - they might fool themselves too . . .

Poison on a Plate

The Dangers in the Food We Eat and How to Avoid Them

By: Richard Lacey

Despite reassurance from government scientists and politicians; despite confident words from the food industry, are you certain the food on your plate is safe to eat? Professor Richard Lacey isn't; this is the story of a food crusader, an eminent scientist who put his career at risk because he believed the British people were in danger of being poisoned by their own food. When Lacey - an internationally famed microbiologist who advised the World Health Organization - set about exposing the dangers in our food brought about by modern farming methods, he was regularly vilified by politicians, civil servants and even by some of his fellow scientists. He came across a whole series of government cover-ups, designed to protect the interests of the food industry rather than public health. Despite strenuous opposition, he brought to public attention the threat of salmonella in eggs, listeria in soft cheeses and pâtés, botulism and E. Coli. Then in 1989 he quit his job on a key government advisory committee in order to speak out on the greatest threat of all: BSE in cows and its human equivalent, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Lacey fears the disease may kill thousands of people in the twenty-first century - unless action is taken now. In this devastating book, the author shows how the food industry threw away the 'wisdom of the ages' in the pursuit of profit and goes behind the scenes to show how the government failed time and again to protect the public interest."--Back cover.

Monarch

The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II

By: Robert Lacey

An exemplary book." —Martin Amis, The New Yorker "In Monarch, Robert Lacey makes you feel like you're right there—in the palace, in the castle...I was absolutely riveted." —Dominick Dunne Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor—who became Elizabeth II, Queen of England on February 6, 1952—has been loved and loathed, revered and feared, applauded and criticized by her people. Still she remained a captivating figure in the British monarchy for over seventy years. In Monarch, a meticulously detailed portrait of Elizabeth II as both a human being and an institution, bestselling author Robert Lacey brings the queen to life as never before: as baby "Lilibet" learning to wave to a crowd in the Royal Mews; as a child "ardently praying for a brother" so as to avoid her fate; as a young woman falling in love with and marrying her cousin Philip; and as the mother-in-law of the most complicated royal of all, Princess Diana. Featuring dozens of photographs, a family tree of the Hanoverian-Windsor-Mountbatten families, and a map that charts the location of royal castles—Monarch is an engaging, critical, and celebratory account of Elizabeth's reign that no reader of popular history should be without.

Great Strategic Rivalries

From The Classical World to the Cold War

By: James Lacey

From the legendary antagonism between Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War to the Napoleonic Wars and the two World Wars of the twentieth century, the past is littered with long-term strategic rivalries. History tells us that such enduring rivalries can end in one of three ways: a series of exhausting conflicts in which one side eventually prevails, as in the case of the Punic Wars between ancient Rome and Carthage, a peaceful and hopefully orderly transition, like the rivalry between Great Britain and the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, or a one-sided collapse, such as the conclusion of the Cold War with the fall of the Soviet Union. However, in spite of a wealth of historical examples, the future of state rivalries remains a matter of conjecture. Great Strategic Rivalries explores the causes and implications of past strategic rivalries, revealing lessons for the current geopolitical landscape. Each chapter offers an accessible narrative of a historically significant rivalry, comprehensively covering the political, diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions of its history. Featuring original essays by world-class historians--including Barry Strauss, Geoffrey Parker, Williamson Murray, and Geoffrey Wawro--this collection provides an in-depth look at how interstate relations develop into often violent rivalries and how these are ultimately resolved. Much more than an engaging history, Great Strategic Rivalries contains valuable insight into current conflicts around the globe for policymakers and policy watchers alike.

Rome

Strategy of Empire

By: James Lacey,Jim Lacey

Rome : Strategy of Empire' is the first book in nearly five decades to explore Roman strategic thinking and execution. Combining both thematic chapters with a narrative history of the Roman Empire, this work explores how the Empire survived for over five hundred years despite being challenged by ruthless and determined enemies on every front. Rome: Strategy of Empire dispels many of the myths and errors that have crept up in Roman studies since the 1970s, including the most widespread and pernicious of them all: that the Romans were incapable of executing on a strategic level or even of thinking in strategic terms. The Roman Empire was a military autocracy built and maintained on the backs of the legions and this work explores Rome's military power and its use in detail. In addition, it explains how Rome sustained its power through diplomacy, superior administration, and most crucially, never (until the end of the Empire) losing sight of the crucial role economics plays as a foundation for military power. Rome: Strategy of Empire not only tells the reader what happened; it explains why it happened.
