TV FAQ: Uncommon Answers to Common Questions about TV

2007 y.
Publisher: I. B. Tauris
Description: Viewers and students of TV have a healthy curiosity about the medium and ask all sorts of general questions about it, but you have to look hard to find the answers. `TV FAQ` does what it says on the cover: it answers just about everything you`ve always wanted to know about television. Starting with commonly asked questions - factual, technical, ethical, content-based, controversial, plain cheeky - `TV FAQ` crisply answers them and outlines comprehensive and often novel arguments in response to the issues raised and the concerns that motivate them. Each entry contains examples, ranging from a detailed deconstruction of an episode of NYPD Blue, to the way that audience statistics are produced, and how television gains (and sometimes forfeits) our trust.

TV-a-Go-Go : Rock on TV from American Bandstand to American Idol

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description From Elvis and a hound dog wearing matching tuxedos and the comic adventures of artificially produced bands to elaborate music videos and contrived reality-show contests, television—as this critical look brilliantly shows—has done a superb job of presenting the energy of rock in a fabulously entertaining but patently `fake` manner. The dichotomy of `fake` and `real` music as it is portrayed on television is presented in detail through many generations of rock music: the Monkees shared the charts with the Beatles, Tupac and Slayer fans voted for corny American Idols, and shows like Shindig! and Soul Train somehow captured the unhinged energy of rock far more effectively than most long-haired guitar-smashing acts. Also shown is how TV has often delighted in breaking the rules while still mostly playing by them: Bo Diddley defied Ed Sullivan and sang rock and roll after he had been told not to, the Chipmunks` subversive antics prepared kids… [detailed...]

TVA Photography, 1963?2008: Challenges and Changes in the Tennessee Valley

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sequel to TVA Photography: Thirty Years of Life in the Tennessee Valley, this book highlights the agency`s history in photography taken from 1963 through the present. TVA, a New Deal agency created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, celebrates its seventy-fifth year in 2008. Photographs begin with President John F. Kennedy`s promising visit to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on the occasion of TVA`s thirtieth anniversary. Within months, the president would be assassinated, and the country would face major social upheaval. Struggles related to civil rights, the Vietnam War, environmental awareness, and finally Watergate would strain the public`s faith in government. With the passage of environmental legislation such as the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act, TVA found itself in a new political and legislative climate. These new policies sometimes resulted in controversial actions, such as the development of a nuclear power program… [detailed...]

TWELVE DAYS ON THE SOMME: A Memoir of the Trenches, 1916

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A joint operation between Britain and France in 1916, the Battle of the Somme was an attempt to gain territory and dent Germany`s military strength. By the end of the action, very little ground had been won: the Allied Forces had made just 12 km. For this slight gain, more than a million lives were lost. There were more than 400,000 British, 200,000 French, and 500,000 German casualties during the fighting. Twelve Days on the Somme is a memoir of the last spell of front-line duty performed by the 2nd Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment. Written by Sidney Rogerson, a young officer in B Company, it gives an extraordinarily frank and often moving account of what it was really like to fight through one of the most notorious battles of the First World War. Its special message, however, is that, contrary to received assumptions and the popular works of writers like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, men could face up to the terrible ordeal such a battle presented with resilience, good… [detailed...]

TWO SQUARE MILES: The Heroes of a Small Town

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Clawson, Michigan is a small town-only 2.4 square miles. Once little more than two sawmills and a few farms, it was eventually captured by the urban sprawl of Detroit. In the years following WW-II the town rapidly grew as large numbers of homes were built for the blue collar workers needed to fuel the auto and manufacturing plants of the post-war boom. There is, however, little remarkable in that. It`s the story of thousands of small towns-places from which you would expect very little. But that would be a mistake. Those two square miles wound up producing an extraordinary number of truly remarkable and gifted people. In an area smaller than what would be needed for a few good sized urban shopping centers, it somehow managed to produce a host of professional athletes, innovative business people, writers, and major players in the arts and entertainment industries. This does not include the hundreds of doctors, lawyers and other professionals-nor the tens of thousands of… [detailed...]

Description: What if Bridget Jones were alive and well and living in Manhattan? Meet Bridget Harrison, a soon-to-be-thirty Brit, newly-on-the-scene reporter for America’s most famous tabloid, the New York Post. While her friends back in London are tossing their bridal bouquets, Bridget is chasing down the next big story-and her dream of becoming a topnotch journalist. But just when she’s perfected the art of interviewing complete strangers about ghoulish crimes, finding a mate in the Big Apple proves downright, well, impossible. As Bridget learns (the hard way) the vexing rules of dating in the ultimate singles city, a silver lining appears in her dating cloud: She lands her very own Post column about her quest for love. Each Sunday half a million New Yorkers read about her match-ups with urban Romeos, including a man who tells her she’d be `one hot chick if she made a bit more of an effort` (even though she’s wearing her Page Six pal’s designer cast-offs) and another who shoves her into a cab… [detailed...]

Taboo Tunes: A History of Banned Bands &, Censored Songs

Description: Book DescriptionMusic has always been a source of controversy, from `Puff the Magic Dragon` to `Cop Killer,` Elvis to Eminem, Dylan to the Dixie Chicks, and Madonna to Marilyn Manson. In this extensively researched ode to scandal, historian and musician Peter Blecha recounts the travails of the musicians and songs that have dared to push the hot-button topics that polite society has deemed unacceptable. Filled with several centuries` worth of raunchy sex ditties, morbid murder ballads, blasphemous satanic songs, paeans to intoxicating substances, and outrageous political antics, this unique compendium uncovers the stories of censors` efforts to squelch these acts of expression. It examines the various societal forces - such as repressive governments, busybody community organizations, and self-appointed moral guardians - that have worked to limit how artists are allowed to express themselves, and makes clearer what censorship means for all.
