Winner of the 2017 James W. Carey Media Research Award James W. Carey, by the time of his death in 2006, was a towering figure in communication research in the U.S. In this book, Pooley provides a critical introduction to Carey’s work, tracing the evolution of his media theorizing from his graduate school years through to the publication in 1989, of his landmark Communication as Culture. The book is an attempt to understand the unusual if also undeniable significance that Carey holds for so many communication scholars, as well as making his work accessible to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.

HAIL, HAIL, THE GANG'S ALL HERE -- THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT UFO SIGHTINGS OR THE CRASH AT ROSWELL -- IT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY REMEMBRANCE OF THE COURT JESTER -- THE GRAND TROUBADOUR -- THE NUMERO UNO TRICKSTER -- OF ALL OF UFOLOGY. -- You either loved him or hated him - but it was hard to be neutral when speaking about James W. Moseley. Within these pages, Jim Moseley's closest friends and associates gather one last time for a sendoff like no other . . Journey into the void of the strange and unknown and tag along closely in the footsteps of a man who followed the UFO mystery and the paranormal for well over half a century. His wit, humor and frequent barbs and sarcasms were well known - and sometimes feared -- by believers and skeptics alike as he took no prisoners in his quest to get to the bottom of a mystery that has baffled so many for so long. As editor of "Saucer News" - the premier magazine in the UFO field for many years - to his later satirical newsletter "Saucer Smear," Jim met and mingled with the best and the worst of the "in crowd." He admits to a bit of "fun-loving" hoaxing of his own, plus a second career of grave robbing in South America, which partially financed his globe trotting paranormal hijinks - not any endowment from the CIA as some of his most hostile, cynical critics would long contend. In addition to the musings and gossip of those that he remained closest to in life, Jim (with the help of endeared drinking buddy and ghost writer Gray Barker) fans out across the country to personally investigate some of the most perplexing UFO cases of all time - with periodic stopovers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, home of the controversial Project Blue Book (long since closed down). Cases personally pondered over by Moseley in this book include: ** "I Met Two Men From 'Venus' -- And They Had No Fingerprints " ** What Happened To The "Authentic" UFO Film That Vanished Without A Trace? ** Kidnapped By Aliens? - A Most Strange And Unusual Case. ** The Angels Of Oahspe. ** Adamski, Williamson And The Case For The UFO Contactees. ** Behind The Barbed Wire Fence At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. ** The OSI And The Lubbock Lights. ** ETs And Alien Wreckage - The Strange Story Of An Air Force Whistleblower. ** The Earth Theory And UFOs From The Antarctica. JIM MOSELEY MAY NO LONGER BE WITH US -- BUT HE STILL TEASES US FOREVER MORE
