During the early years of the nation, the eagle was adopted as the
symbol of America. From that time to this it has been a favorite
subject of carvers. It has adorned buildings, signs, furniture, and
boats. It has carried banners of E. Pluribus Unum and Happy New
Year. And it is cherished still. In this new book Paul White takes
the carver through the process of carving a large traditional bald
eagle. Beginning with the gluing of the boards and sculpting and
ending with a helpful description of gold leafing, Paul explains
each step in detail. For those who wish to get right to the carving
he also explains the use of commercially prepared blanks. A
measured drawing of the project is included, as well as a gallery
of variations. A wonderful book for carvers of all abilities.

Using textual analysis, interviews with game designers, audience
surveys, and close analysis of player forum discussion, this book
examines the unique nature of the producer/consumer relationship
within promotional Alternate Reality Games (ARGs). Historically,
ARGs are rooted in advertising as much as they are in narrative
storytelling. As designers often have to respond to player actions
as the game progresses, players can have an impact on the
storyline, on character behaviour, and potentially on the final
resolution of the narrative. This book explores how both media
consumers and producers are responding to this new reconfiguration
of the producer/consumer/prosumer dynamic in order to better
understand the diverse advertising experiences available to media
audiences today. With a focus on participatory culture and the
political economy of promotional communications, this in-depth
analysis of ARGs will appeal to academics and researchers in the
fields of games, film, advertising, and media and cultural studies.
