Digital Storytelling and Ethics: Collaborative Creation and Facilitation provides a method for analyzing digital storytelling practices that focuses on the rhetorical, dialogic, co-productive, creative story-making space rather than the finished stories or the technologies. Looking through a new media lens, Amanda Hill situates the digital storytelling genre and writing practice as a co-creative media process created between writers, storytellers, educators/facilitators, institutions, and the audience, and discusses the inter-relationships within the collaborative writing workshop as well as in those found in the dissemination of the final digital stories. Digital Storytelling and Ethics provides a reflexive look at the responsibility of the facilitator in co-creative digital storytelling writing spaces and makes use of diverse international case studies as examples. Hill shows that writing educators/facilitators should interpret their roles within the collaborative creation process. This will ensure that responsible facilitation practices based in witnessing guide the storytelling process and create an environment that treats participants as subjects with the ability to respond to the world. This innovative book is an essential read for collaborative digital writers and facilitators.

In order to assess the health and environmental effects of a chemical, you need to determine the exposure of the chemical to sensitive organisms as well as to assess the likely effects. The chemicals in Volume V of the Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data for Organic Chemicals set are mostly solvents and cover many of the natural products and hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons being considered as replacements for harmful chlorinated solvents and chlorofluorocarbons. The chemicals are listed in alphabetical order by their most easily recognized names. A cumulative index allows you to look up each chemical by chemical name synonym, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number, and chemical formula. Like all of the volumes in the series, this new volume details how individual chemicals are released, transported, and degraded in the environment, as well as how they are exposed to humans and environmental organisms. Features oProvides useful information for hazardous waste cleanup oHelps you to make exposure assessments oProvides workplace exposure and ambient monitoring data as well as detection in foods oIncludes information on environmental persistence and transport oIncludes highly reliable data prepared by a well-known firm in environmental fate

Neil Nightingale and Barry Cook direct this adventure feature, based on the 1999 BBC documentary series, which projects computer-animated dinosaurs into live action settings to tell the story of a young Pachyrhinosaurus. Patchi and his siblings Scowler and Juniper are born into the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period, where predators such as Gorgon the Gorgosaurus would be only too happy to make a meal of them.

This edited collection explores the malleability and influence of body image, focusing particularly on how media representation and popular culture's focus on the body exacerbates the crucial social influence these representations can have on audiences' perceptions of themselves and others. Contributors investigate the cultural context and lived experiences of individuals' relationships with their bodies, going beyond examination of the thin, ideal body type to explore the emerging representations and portrayals of a diverse set of body types across the media spectrum, paving the way for future research on this topic. Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and health communication will find this book particularly useful.

Dalton Moss has come a long way since she left her semi-single life in Los Angeles to live as Mrs. Roman Duquesne in Washington, D.C. She's a devoted wife, she's got a much more serious career and now, she finds herself keeping company with scholars and the political elite in place of the barflies and forever young who were her friends and colleagues back home. Who would have ever thought it? Dalton, it would seem, has finally grown up. But it's an ongoing struggle to define herself as a "real" adult in a real adult world as she can't help but recall her former existence as a carefree party girl in Hollywood . and even wonder if she made the right decision to leave it all behind. It doesn't help that life is going on without her just fine back in California (except for a very disturbing transformation by her little sister, Maddy)-and that everyone she meets in Washington seems to know something about her husband that she doesn't . When Dalton is told of a secret that Roman's been keeping from her ever since they first met, by Roman's ex-girlfriend, to add insult to injury . it suddenly appears that she might have made the wrong choice when she gave up everything that was hers to share everything of his. Now Dalton's faced with the daunting task of having to figure out if it's situations like these that come along to challenge a marriage, and test two people's love for one another-or ultimately, prove that it was never meant to be.

Intersectional Media: Representations of Marginalized Identities analyzes media depictions of a variety of intersecting identities. Through a study examining how components of identity such as race, class, ethnicity, age, ability, class, and sexuality mesh and form a unique worldview, contributors to this collection frame their understanding of media intersectionality as complex and multi-layered studies of identity. Rather than focusing on any one component of marginalized identity, this book broadens the scope of inquiry and encourages audiences to recognize the complexity of media analysis when a combination of marginalized identities is depicted. Contributors demonstrate their understanding of how different components of identity combine and create new, original components of identity, paving the way for new studies of both media and identity. Scholars of media studies, identity studies, cultural studies, minority studies, gender studies, race studies, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
