From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an
extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the
postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered
works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and
breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes,
documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local
children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images,
printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country,
survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's
history.

Linear acoustics was thought to be fully encapsulated in physics
texts of the 1950s, but this view has been changed by developments
in physics during the last four decades. There is a significant new
amount of theory that can be used to address problems in linear
acoustics and vibration, but only a small amount of reported work
does so. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap between
theoreticians and practitioners, as well as the gap between quantum
and acoustic. Tutorial chapters provide introductions to each of
the major aspects of the physical theory and are written using the
appropriate terminology of the acoustical community. The book will
act as a quick-start guide to the new methods while providing a
wide-ranging introduction to the physical concepts.
Now in its eleventh successful edition, "Communicating Effectively"
presents a comprehensive introduction to interpersonal,
intercultural, professional, group, and public communication.
Providing just the right amount of theory and research, the book is
packed with thought-provoking prose and activities that engage
student interest. A pragmatic approach enables students to
appreciate ideas, concepts, and theories in their own lives.

Richard M. Weaver, a thinker and writer celebrated for his
unsparing diagnoses and realistic remedies for the ills of our age,
is known largely through a few of his works that remain in print.
This new collection of Weaver's shorter writings, assembled by Ted
J. Smith III, Weaver's leading biographer, presents many
long-out-of-print and never-before-published works that give new
range and depth to Weaver's sweeping thought. Though several of the
works of Richard M. Weaver remain very much in print, "a large body
of his work has remained largely unexamined," writes Professor
Smith in the introduction. Included are eleven previously
unpublished essays and speeches that were left in near-final form
at the time of Weaver's death in 1963. Their presentation "exhausts
the body of significant completed manuscripts contained in the
three known collections of [Weaver's] papers." In all, there are
some one hundred twenty-six essays, speeches, book reviews, and
editorials. Professor Ted J. Smith III is Professor of Mass
Communications at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Apollo 11 inspired countries around the world to issue stamps to
commemorate man's first landing on the moon. For the first time
ever, more than 250 stamps, from Afghanistan to Yemen, have been
assembled in one volume.
