Best known for his novel ""Trout Fishing in America"", American
writer, Richard Gary Brautigan (1935-1984) published eleven novels,
ten poetry collections, and two story collections, as well as five
volumes of collected work, several nonfiction essays, and a record
album of spoken voice recordings. Brautigan's idiosyncratic style
and humor caused him to be identified with the counterculture
movement of the 1960s. The authors of many of these 32 essays knew
Brautigan, personally and professionally; others came to know and
respect him through a cultivated connection with his writings. The
essays - many of which are new, others of which were published in
obscure journals - combine personal remembrance of the man and
critical appraisal of his still-controversial works. The book
includes previously unpublished photographs and artworks.

One of the first books to examine the status of broadcasting on its
one hundredth anniversary, Radio's Second Century investigates both
vanguard and perennial topics relevant to radio's past, present,
and future. As the radio industry enters its second century of
existence, it continues to be a dominant mass medium with almost
total listenership saturation despite rapid technological
advancements that provide alternatives for consumers. Lasting
influences such as on-air personalities, audience behavior, fan
relationships, and localism are analyzed as well as contemporary
issues including social and digital media. Other essays examine the
regulatory concerns that continue to exist for public radio,
commercial radio, and community radio, and discuss the hindrances
and challenges posed by government regulation with an emphasis on
both American and international perspectives. Radio's impact on
cultural hegemony through creative programming content in the areas
of religion, ethnic inclusivity, and gender parity is also
explored. Taken together, this volume compromises a meaningful
insight into the broadcast industry's continuing power to inform
and entertain listeners around the world via its oldest mass
medium--radio.
