up?
Leisure time today is driven by fandom from sports fans to comic
collectors, gamers, and cosplayers. Fandom has developed into a
self-identifying social construct researchers are still attempting
to understand. While some fandoms such as cosplayers are still
developing, other fandoms, for instance the secondary sports fan,
have been completely ignored. Fandom is an important facet in
today's society with such enthusiasm and support shaping not only
the fan but also society at large. Multidisciplinary Perspectives
on Media Fandom is a pivotal reference source that provides vital
research that reviews some of the most exigent facets of today's
fandom and highlights understudied cultures of fandom as well as
emerging intricacies of established fandom. While promoting topics
such as esports, influencer culture, and marketing trends, this
publication explores both qualitative and quantitative approaches
as well as the methods of social science and critical perspectives.
This book is ideally designed for marketers, media strategists,
brand managers, consumer behavior analysts, researchers, academics,
and students.

Sharon Maguire directs this third instalment of the romantic comedy
series based on the characters created by Helen Fielding. Renée
Zellweger reprises her role as Bridget Jones, the quirky
forty-something who is learning to embrace adulthood. Following her
break up with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), Bridget decides to focus on
her career as a top news producer while also attempting to enjoy
the single life with friends. Her love life takes another turn when
she meets suave American Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), who helps
her out after getting into a spot of bother at a music festival.
With a new relationship flourishing and everything seemingly under
control, it's not long before there's a hitch - she discovers she's
pregnant. Unsure if the father is long-term love interest Darcy, or
newcomer Qwant, Bridget is yet again faced with making some awkward
and ultimately life-changing decisions. The cast also includes
Sally Phillips, Shirley Henderson and Emma Thompson.

Beer culture has grown exponentially in the United States, from the
days of Prohibition to the signing of HR 1337 by then-President
Jimmy Carter, which legalized homebrewing for personal and
household use, to the potential hop shortage that all brewers are
facing today. This expansion of the culture, both socially and
commercially, has created a linguistic and cultural turn that is
just now starting to be fully recognized. The contributors of Beer
Culture in Theory and Practice: Understanding Craft Beer Culture in
the United States examine varying facets of beer culture in the
United States, from becoming a home brewer, to connecting it to the
community, to what a beer brand means, to the social realities and
shortcomings that exist within the beer and brewing communities.
The book aims to move beer away from the cooler and taproom, and
into the dynamic conversation of Popular and American cultural
studies that is happening right now, both within and outside of the
classroom.

Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday
realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is,
simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture
brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds,
from interpersonal communication, business and organizational
communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative,
rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies,
and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music,
broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video
games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal
concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The
variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated
in the present while building a foundation for the future, as
contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular
culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors
examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our
everyday lives.
Beyond New Media: Discourse and Critique in a Polymediated Age
examines a host of differing positions on media in order to explore
how those positions can inform one another and build a basis for
future engagements with media theory, research, and practice.
Herbig, Herrmann, and Tyma have brought together a number of media
scholars with differing paradigmatic backgrounds to debate the
relative applicability of existing theories and in doing so develop
a new approach: polymediation. Each contributor's disciplinary
background is diverse, spanning interpersonal communication, media
studies, organizational communication, instructional design,
rhetoric, mass communication, gender studies, popular culture
studies, informatics, and persuasion. Although each of these
scholars brings with them a unique perspective on media's role in
people's lives, what binds them together is the belief that
meaningful discourse about media must be an ongoing conversation
that is open to critique and revision in a rapidly changing
mediated culture. By studying media in a polymediated way, Beyond
New Media addresses more completely our complex relationship to
media(tion) in our everyday lives.

First FRCR Anatomy: Questions and Answers provides eight test
papers modelled on the exam format of the Royal College of
Radiologists' anatomy module. Written by a team of consultant and
trainee radiologists, the practice questions and answers will give
you the advantage you need to succeed and stand out from the
average trainee. The questions include images from all modalities -
CT, MRI, ultrasound, plain film, screening and angiography, closely
correlating with the images you are likely to see both in the exam
and in day-to-day practice. Expanded clinical answers also distill
clinical radiological knowledge accrued over many years of clinical
practice, making this much more than a revision aid. First FRCR
Anatomy: Questions and Answers covers the full breadth of
curriculum topics including MSK, cardiac, thoracic, genitourinary,
gastrointestinal, vascular, neuro and pediatric imaging. An
essential resource for all First FRCR candidates.
