Book excerpt: What became of radio after its Golden Age ended about 1960? Not long ago Arbitron found that almost 93 percent of Americans age 12 and older are regular radio listeners, a higher percentage than those turning to television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet. But the sounds they hear now barely resemble those of radio's heyday when it had little competition as a mass entertainment and information source. Much has transpired in the past fifty-plus years: a proliferation of disc jockeys, narrowcasting, the FM band, satellites, automation, talk, ethnicity, media empires, Internet streaming and gadgets galore... Deregulation, payola, HD radio, pirate radio, the fall of transcontinental networks, the rise of local stations, conglomerate ownership, and radio's future landscape are examined in detail. Radio has lost a bit of influence yet it continues to inspire stunning innovations.

Download or read book Transforming Work written by Padmasuri and published by Windhorse Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you experience work? Is it a stressful rush? Or is it rich and rewarding? By taking a fresh and honest look at work practices in the light of today's complex demands, Transforming Work shows us that our work -- whatever the tasks -- can be meaningful and creative. Even more radically, it can be an integral part of any vibrant spiritual practice. Transforming Work profiles Windhorse:evolution, a multi-million-pound Buddhist giftware business which gives away most of its profits. Centring around the notion of Right Livelihood, part of the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, the personal stories found here explore this vision in practice -- that work can give purpose and meaning to our lives, deploy our energy wisely and creatively, and still be both personally satisfying and of benefit to others. Here we encounter a medieval linguist sweeping a shop floor, forklift drivers practising 'mindfulness in the workplace', and besuited executives sharing cars to overcome self-centredness. Can you imagine being as alive and creative in work ... as out? Tranforming Work offers us some real options as to how we might accomplish this. Book jacket.

Download or read book Talking Animals in British Children s Fiction 1786 1914 written by Tess Cosslett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her reappraisal of canonical works such as Black Beauty, Beautiful Joe, Wind in the Willows, and Peter Rabbit, Tess Cosslett traces how nineteenth-century debates about the human and animal intersected with, or left their mark on, the venerable genre of the animal story written for children. Effortlessly applying a range of critical approaches, from Bakhtinian ideas of the carnivalesque to feminist, postcolonial, and ecocritical theory, she raises important questions about the construction of the child reader, the qualifications of the implied author, and the possibilities of children's literature compared with literature written for adults. Perhaps most crucially, Cosslett examines how the issues of animal speech and animal subjectivity were managed, at a time when the possession of language and consciousness had become a vital sign of the difference between humans and animals. Topics of great contemporary concern, such as the relation of the human and the natural, masculine and feminine, child and adult, are investigated within their nineteenth-century contexts, making this an important book for nineteenth-century scholars, children's literature specialists, and historians of science and childhood.
