The Uncensored War

The Uncensored War

Daniel C. Hallin

University of California Press
1989
pokkari
This book was finished in the tenth year after the end of the Vietnam War. The year 1985 was also the year of Rambo, and of a number of other celebration of the Vietnam War in popular culture. It was the year Congress cut off aid to the "Contras" in Nicaragua, and then abruptly reversed itself and approved "humanitarian" aid to support the guerrilla war in that country. The "Vietnam Syndrome" showed signs of giving way tot he "Grenada Syndrome": the fear of repeating the Vietnam experience showed signs of giving way to a desire to relive it in an idealized form. The nation seemed deeply confused about its identity as an actor in world politics, and thus particularly vulnerable to appealing myths. So it is a good time to take a sober look back and the nation's consciousness during the Vietnam War itself - which as we shall see, despite the popular image of an independent media demolishing the nation's illusions, was also governed by a powerful mythology, born in part out of the traumas of earlier wars.

Comparing Media Systems

Comparing Media Systems

Daniel C. Hallin; Paolo Mancini

Cambridge University Press
2004
pokkari
Building on a survey of media institutions in eighteen West European and North American democracies, Hallin and Mancini identify the principal dimensions of variation in media systems and the political variables which have shaped their evolution. They go on to identify three major models of media system development (the Polarized Pluralist, Democratic Corporatist and Liberal models) to explain why the media have played a different role in politics in each of these systems, and to explore the forces of change that are currently transforming them. It provides a key theoretical statement about the relation between media and political systems, a key statement about the methodology of comparative analysis in political communication and a clear overview of the variety of media institutions that have developed in the West, understood within their political and historical context.

Religions of the Ancient Near East

Daniel C. Snell

Cambridge University Press
2010
sidottu
This 2011 book is a history of religious life in the Ancient Near East from the beginnings of agriculture to Alexander the Great's invasion in the 300s BCE. Daniel C. Snell traces key developments in the history, daily life and religious beliefs of the people of Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel and Iran. His research investigates the influence of those ideas on the West, with particular emphasis on how religious ideas from this historical and cultural milieu still influence the way modern cultures and religions view the world. Designed to be accessible to students and readers with no prior knowledge of the period, the book uses fictional vignettes to add interest to its material, which is based on careful study of archaeological remains and preserved texts. The book will provide a thoughtful summary of the Ancient Near East and includes a comprehensive bibliography to guide readers in further study of related topics.
Hunting and the Politics of Violence before the English Civil War
A major contribution to debates about the origins of the Civil War, this study of English forests and hunting from the late sixteenth century to the early 1640s explores their significance in the symbolism and effective power of royalty and the nobility in early modern England. Blending social, cultural and political history, Dan Beaver examines the interrelationships among four local communities to explain the violent political conflicts in the forests in the years leading up to the civil war. Adopting a micro-historical approach, the book explores how local politics became bound up with national political and ideological divisions. The author argues that, from the early seventeenth century, a politics of land use in forests and other hunting reserves involved its participants in a sophisticated political discourse, touching on the principles of law and justice, the authority of the crown and the nature of a commonwealth.

Land Snails of the Great Smoky Mountains and the Southern Appalachians
Land Snails of the Great Smoky Mountains and Southern Appalachians is the result of extensive research as part of Discover Life in America's All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI). The mollusca research began in 1999 and continued through 2013 with support from several mini-grants through DLIA. Prior to the ATBI, very little was known of the park's remarkable land snail diversity. Historical records preceding the (1998) ATBI project included around 91 species. Since then 55 species have been added, including two land snails previously unknown to science (Dourson 2012). Land Snails of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Southern Appalachians is presented in two parts, Part I specifically covers 146 land snails; 27 species with restricted distributions surrounding the park. Part II expands its reaches beyond park boundaries to include an additional 44 species found in the Southern Appalachian Mountains from around Mount Rogers, Virginia, south to Chilhowee Mountain, Tennessee. total, 203 land snail species are covered in this text; with an astonishing 54 species endemic to the region. Also illustrated are 15 aquatic snails found around or in the GSMNP. The book is fully illustrated with hundreds of color photo-graphs and drawings. A pictorial key for both parts is included and was de-signed for both the beginner and advanced malacologist alike. The book includes interesting facts about land snail ecology such as diet, reproduction, defense strategies, parasites, overall benefits and harmful effects on wildlife and humans. Also included is a comprehensive section devoted to exotic slugs.
