Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Appearing more than twenty years after the revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe, this book could not have come at a more appropriate time; a time to take stock not only of the changes but also the continuities in media systems of the region since 1989. To what extent are media institutions still controlled by political forces? To what extent are media markets operating in Central and Eastern Europe? Do media systems in Central and Eastern Europe resemble media systems in other parts of Europe? The answers to these questions are not the same for each country in the region. Their experience is not homogeneous. An international line up of distinguished experts and emerging scholars methodically examine the different economic, political, cultural, and transnational factors affecting developments in media systems across Central and Eastern Europe. Whereas earlier works in the media system tradition have, in the main, adopted the political framework of comparative politics, the authors argue that media systems are also cultural and economic institutions and there are other critical variables that might explain certain outcomes better. Topics discussed range from political economy to gender inequality to the study of ethno-cultural diversity. This unmatched volume gives you the unique opportunity to study the growing field of comparative media analysis across Eastern and Western Europe. A valuable resource that goes beyond the field of media and cultural analysis which media scholars as well as to area specialists should not go without!

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II THE WAGE-EARNER It is not within either the scope or the purpose of this work to enter upon any discussion of the vexatious and seemingly unending conflict between Capital and Labor, except as it affects the social status of the laboring people. The working class is by a sort of common consent set apart as a class to themselves, but they occupy among themselves very different stations in life, and the problem here under discussion affects them quite differently. There is a wide difference between the highly-educated and well-paid skilled workman and the ignorant and unskilled laborer, who is in many instances a foreigner not even speaking our language. The former occupies a high and enviable position in business and in society, while the latter may be found in the slums and unsanitary buildings that make for disease and immorality and crime. These two classes of working people, while belonging to one designated class, have practically nothing in common. The high- class workman, well-to-do and independent, finds no place in this work; but the ignorant and poorly-paid laborer falls within the evils and temptations that all good people should be striving to mitigate, at least, if not destroy. Most of the lower class of laborers find their habitat in the densely populated portions of the large cities where want and immorality and crime have full sway. They may, although poorly paid, keep themselves from want; but they are often steeped in immorality and crime. To such as these environment and association mean much. They breathe the pestilential air of the slums and of the overcrowded shacks and tenement houses that abound in such places. They are not dependent on charity, because they work by day, or maybe by night, and are able to make their way, such as it is....

A Critical Comparison Of Pleading And Practice Under The Common Law And Equity Systems Of Practice, The English Judicature Acts, And Codes Of The Several States Of This Country, With A View To Greater Efficiency And Economy.

Information and communication technologies are said to be transforming urban life dramatically and bringing about rapid economic and cultural globalization. This book explores the many fascinating and urgent issues involved by relating advanced theoretical debates to practical matters of communication with cultural policy. It maps out a range of `optimistic' and `pessimistic' scenarios with special regard to various forms of inequality, particularly class, gender and geopolitical. Topics discussed include urban planning, virtual cities and actual cities, economic and political policy, and critical social analysis of current trends that are of momentous consequence. The book concludes that it is necessary to bring together a number of differently informing approaches, cultural, economic, political and technological, to make sense of a field of dynamic and contradictory forces.
