Militainment, Inc.

War, Media, and Popular Culture

By: Roger Stahl

Militainment, Inc. offers provocative, sometimes disturbing insight into the ways that war is presented and viewed as entertainment—or "militainment"—in contemporary American popular culture. War has been the subject of entertainment for centuries, but Roger Stahl argues that a new interactive mode of militarized entertainment is recruiting its audience as virtual-citizen soldiers. The author examines a wide range of historical and contemporary media examples to demonstrate the ways that war now invites audiences to enter the spectacle as an interactive participant through a variety of channels—from news coverage to online video games to reality television. Simply put, rather than presenting war as something to be watched, the new interactive militainment presents war as something to be played and experienced vicariously. Stahl examines the challenges that this new mode of militarized entertainment poses for democracy, and explores the controversies and resistant practices that it has inspired. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between war and media, and it sheds surprising light on the connections between virtual battlefields and the international conflicts unfolding in Iraq and Afghanistan today.

Rhetoric and Popular Culture (Revised Edition)

By: Roger Stahl

Rhetoric and Popular Culture" offers a selection of readings that explores the political dimensions of popular culture. Beginning with a theoretical framework, the text moves through a number of case studies designed to explore a variety of power struggles. Many of these struggles take place on the terrain of advertising - both the struggle to leverage culture for commercial purposes and the resistant practices it inspires. Topics extending from this analysis include: institutions of cultural production; popular culture and social movements; representations of race, gender, and class; music, rebellion, and moral panics; the politics of the camera, reality TV, and voyeurism; food and everyday living spaces; representations of war; the role of intellectual property law; and others. Roger Stahl (Ph.D. Penn State University, 2004) is an Associate Professor in Speech Communication at the University of Georgia. His research interests include media and rhetoric with a particular interest in advertising, propaganda, and public relations. Dr. Stahl has devoted much of his effort to understanding the contemporary presentation of war. His recent book, "Militainment, Inc.: War, Media, and Popular Culture" (Routledge, 2010), examines how war has entered the landscape of consumerism. His work has appeared in numerous journals including "Rhetoric and Public Affairs, Quarterly Journal of Speech" and "Critical Studies in Media Communication," as well as a series of critical documentary films.

Medicine Before Science

Medicine Before Science

The Business of Medicine from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment

By: Roger Kenneth French

This book offers an introduction to the history of university-trained physicians from the middle ages to the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. These were the elite, in reputation and rewards, and they were successful. Yet we can form little idea of their clinical effectiveness, and to modern eyes their theory and practice often seems bizarre. But the historical evidence is that they were judged on other criteria, and the argument of this book is that these physicians helped to construct the expectations of society--and met them accordingly.

The Place to Be

Washington, CBS, and the Glory Days of Television News

By: Roger Mudd

Roger Mudd joined CBS in 1961, and as the congressional correspondent, became a star covering the historic Senate debate over the 1964 Civil Right Act. Appearing at the steps of Congress every morning, noon, and night for the twelve weeks of filibuster, he established a reputation as a leading political reporter. Mudd was one of half a dozen major figures in the stable of CBS News broadcasters at a time when the network's standing as a provider of news was at its peak. In The Place to Be, Mudd tells of how the bureau worked: the rivalries, the egos, the pride, the competition, the ambitions, and the gathering frustrations of conveying the world to a national television audient in thirty minutes minus commercials. It is the story of a unique TV news bureau, unmatched in its quality, dedication, and professionalism. It shows what TV journalism was once like and what it's missing today.

St. Francis of Assisi and Nature

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

St. Francis of Assisi and Nature

Tradition and Innovation in Western Christian Attitudes toward the Environment

By: Roger D. Sorrell

One of the best-loved saints of all time, Francis of Assisi is often depicted today as a kind of proto-hippie or early environmentalist. This book, the most comprehensive study in English of Francis's view of nature in the context of medieval tradition, debunks modern anachronistic interpretations, arguing convincingly that Francis's ideas can only be understood in their 13th-century context. Through close analysis of Francis's writings, particularly the Canticle of the Sun, Sorrell shows that many of Francis's beliefs concerning the proper relation of humanity to the natural world have their antecedents in scripture and the medieval monastic orders, while other ideas and practices--his nature mysticism, his concept of familial relationships with created things, and his extension of chivalric conceptions to interactions with creatures--are entirely his own. Sorrell insists, however, that only by seeing Francis in terms of the Western traditions from which he arose can we appreciate the true originality of this extraordinary figure and the relevance of his thought to modern religious and environmental concerns.

The Gift of Science

Leibniz and the modern legal tradition

By: Roger BERKOWITZ,Roger Stuart Berkowitz

Moving from the scientific revolution to the nineteenth-century rise of legal codes, Berkowitz tells the story of how lawyers and philosophers invented legal science to preserve law's claim to moral authority. The "gift" of science, however, proved bittersweet. Instead of strengthening the bond between law and justice, the subordination of law to science transformed law from an ethical order into a tool for social and economic ends.

Practical Old Age Psychopharmacology

A Multi-Professional Approach

By: Stephen Curran,Roger Bullock

Tailoring mental illness drug treatments specifically for elderly people has been a neglected area. This book brings together findings from recent multi-disciplinary research and the practical aspects of old age psychiatry. By taking into account the perspectives of the patient and their family, the neuropathologist, the pharmacist, the nurse, the GP, and the specialist, Practical Old Age Psychopharmacology provides a sympathetic analysis of contemporary practice and offers guidelines for the future. Providing the only comprehensive overview of the topic the editors delve into the important role of psychotropic drugs and the management of mental illness in the elderly, how these drugs should be used and how a truly personal approach to patient care can be maintained. To provide a practical focus on specific clinical topics, individual chapters can be used independently This book is an invaluable reference for old age psychiatrists, psychiatrists in training, hospital and community mental health nurses, geriatricians, general practitioners, and pharmaceutical company staff. Clinical psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and health care managers will also find it beneficial as a complement to their own work.

Interfaces, Quantum Wells, and Superlattices

By: C. Richard Leavens,Roger Taylor

The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Interfaces, Quantum Wells and Superlattices" was held from August 16th to 29th, 1987, in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This volume contains most of the lectures that were given at the Institute. A few of the lectures had already been presented at an earlier meeting and appear instead in the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Physics and Applications of Quantum Wells and Super lattices" held in Erice from April 21st to May 1st earlier in the year and published by Plenum Press. The study of semiconductor interfaces, quantum wells and super lattices has come to represent a substantial proportion of all work in condensed matter physics. In a sense the growth of interest in this area, which began to accelerate about 10 years ago and seems to be continuing, has been driven by technological developments. While the older generation of semiconductor devices was based on adjacent semiconductors with different properties (e. g. different doping levels) separated by interfaces, modern semiconductor devices tend to be based more and more on properties of the interfaces themselves. This has led, as an example, to the field of band-structure engineering. Improved understanding of the fundamental physics of these systems has aided technological developments and, in turn, technological developments have made available systems which exhibit novel and fascinating phYSical properties, such as the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects.

Killing Hitler

The Plots, the Assassins, and the Dictator Who Cheated Death

Killing Hitler

The Plots, the Assassins, and the Dictator Who Cheated Death

By: Roger Moorhouse

For the first time in one enthralling book, here is the incredible true story of the numerous attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler and change the course of history. Disraeli once declared that “assassination never changed anything,” and yet the idea that World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust might have been averted with a single bullet or bomb has remained a tantalizing one for half a century. What historian Roger Moorhouse reveals in Killing Hitler is just how close–and how often–history came to taking a radically different path between Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and his ignominious suicide. Few leaders, in any century, can have been the target of so many assassination attempts, with such momentous consequences in the balance. Hitler’s almost fifty would-be assassins ranged from simple craftsmen to high-ranking soldiers, from the apolitical to the ideologically obsessed, from Polish Resistance fighters to patriotic Wehrmacht officers, and from enemy agents to his closest associates. And yet, up to now, their exploits have remained virtually unknown, buried in dusty official archives and obscure memoirs. This, then, for the first time in a single volume, is their story. A story of courage and ingenuity and, ultimately, failure, ranging from spectacular train derailments to the world’s first known suicide bomber, explaining along the way why the British at one time declared that assassinating Hitler would be “unsporting,” and why the ruthless murderer Joseph Stalin was unwilling to order his death. It is also the remarkable, terrible story of the survival of a tyrant against all the odds, an evil dictator whose repeated escapes from almost certain death convinced him that he was literally invincible–a conviction that had appalling consequences for millions.

This unique, comprehensive survey of virtually all aspects of sudden death in infants and childhood will be an essential source of reference for pathologists, clinicians and lawyers who deal with such cases. Individual sections deal in detail with deaths due to inflicted and non-inflicted injuries and to natural diseases. This new edition includes 1200 new references, 300 new illustrations and an extensively revised chapter on sudden infant death syndrome. The intentional injury chapter has additional material on head trauma, the biomechanics of injury, neonaticide, suicide and subtle and unusual trauma. The chapter on non-intentional injury has also been expanded to more accurately reflect its importance as a cause of death. Deaths in the first week of life are also covered. This new edition also covers the full range of natural causes of death, and their pathological investigation undertaken in light of advances in our understanding of genetic susceptibility and pathophysiology.

Migrant Workers in the Gulf

Migrant Workers in the Gulf

By: Roger Owen,Nicholas Van Hear

The oil price explosion of the early 1970s triggered off a massive wave of labour migration into the oil-rich states of the Gulf. The migrants came from the poorer Arab countries, from Asia and Africa, attracted by wage levels considerably higher than they could earn in their homelands-. Some came on short-term contracts, others stayed many years. By the end of the 1980s, there were thought to be over six million migrant workers in the region. Migrant Workers in the Gulf for the first time provides a concise overview of the situation of these new migrant workers. Written by Dr. Roger Owen, it gives a valuable insight into the problems and the pressures they face. The report also contains an MRG Update by Dr. Nicholas Van Hear, outlining the mass population movements in the early 1990s. About two million foreign residents left Iraq and Kuwait in the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, 800,000 Yemenis were pressured to leave Saudi Arabia, while in 1991 persecution of Kuwait's longestablished Palestinian community by the newly restored rulers led to their mass exodus. The report poses vital questions. Can the rights of migrant workers be protected? Can mass population movements be prevented in the future? What should be the role of the UN and the international community? This unique report should be of immense value to all those interested in the social and economic history of the Middle East and Asia and to policymakers concerned with migration, labour and mass movements of people worldwide. Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers. Therefore, we make available as much of our back catalogue as possible, while being aware that the language used may not reflect current thinking on these issues.
