This Open Access book tracks the latest trends in the theory,
research, and practice of entertainment-education, the field of
communication that incorporates social change messaging into
entertaining media. Sometimes called edutainment, social impact
television, narrative persuasion, or cultural strategy, this
approach to social and behavior change communication offers new
opportunities including transmedia and digital formats. However,
making media can be a chaotic process. The realities of working in
the field and the rigid structures of scholarly evaluation often
act as barriers to honest accounts of entertainment-education
practice. In this collection of essays, experienced practitioners
offer unique insight into how entertainment-education works and
present a balanced view of its potential pitfalls. This book gives
readers an opportunity to learn from the successes and mistakes of
the experts, taking a behind-the-scenes look at the business of
making entertainment-education media.

and practical guidance, "Code Halos" shows seasoned executives,

In light of the importance of oil and gas in California, perhaps
the discovery of gold there should be viewed as just a flash in the
pan. By 1938, the cumulative value of all the gold found in the
state stood at something more than two billion dollars, while the
cumulative value of the oil and gas produced was more than double
that sum--well over five billion dollars. The story of California
oil deserves to be told, and pictures tell it best.
The more than three hundred photographs in this book vividly
portray the development of California's rich and colorful petroleum
industry from the early exploration of the mid-nineteenth century
through the boom years of the first four decades of the twentieth.
Although Indians and Spanish explorers had known of and used local
oil seepages for centuries and the search for commercial production
had begun on several fronts in the 1850s, the actual birth date of
California's oil industry may be set as 1865, with the first
commercial sale of oil refined in the state (by the Stanford
brothers) from a well drilled in the state (on the Matthole River
in Humboldt County). The fascinating text and the impressive array
of photographs here assembled reveal the variety and vigor of the
development that ensued: from the "world's smallest producing
lease," on Signal Hill, to the derricks sharing Huntington Beach
with the bathers, to the millions of mice infesting the Taft oil
field in 1926-27; from the mounted patrols keeping livestock out of
the Coalinga fields to the blinking light on a fence warning
motorists of a well in the middle of a Los Angeles street.
First among the states in oil production in eighteen of the first
thirty years of the twentieth century, California experienced a
boom of immense proportions and extraordinary diversity. These
illustrations, along with contemporary descriptions by many of
those who worked the fields and a wealth of detail provided by the
authors, graphically portray the scenes and characters of
California's second great mineral rush. An epilogue takes the boom
up to the present, highlighting the shift in production to the
offshore leases and the controversy surrounding them.
