New York, 1929. The height of Prohibition. The cops turn a blind
eye while the mobs run the city, dealing in guns, girls and illegal
liquor. But the arrival of the mysterious Dragonmir Family from
Eastern Europe with more of a taste for blood than booze upsets the
status quo. The first comics work from TV's Jonathan Ross is a hard
boiled noir crime thriller, with stylish art from Tommy Lee
Edwards.
Historically, public relations research has been dominated by
organisational interests, treating the profession as a function to
help organisations achieve their goals, and focusing on practice
and processes first and foremost. Such research is valuable in
addressing how public relations can be used more effectively by
organisations and institutions, but has tended to neglect the
consequences of the practice on the social world in which those
organisations operate.
This edited collection adds momentum to the emergent interest in
the relationship between public relations, society and culture by
bringing together a wide range of alternative theoretical and
methodological approaches, including anthropology, storytelling,
pragmatism and Latin American studies. The chapters draw on
insights from a variety of disciplines including sociology,
cultural studies, post-colonialism, political economy, ecological
studies, feminism and critical race theory. Empirical contributions
illustrate theoretical arguments with narratives and interview
extracts from practitioners, resulting in an engaging text that
will provide inspiration for scholars and students to explore
public relations in new ways.
Public Relations, Society and Culture makes an essential
contribution to a range of scholarly fields and illustrates the
relevance of public relations to matters beyond its organisational
function. It will be highly useful to students and scholars of
public relations as well as cultural studies, ethnicity/'race'
communication, media studies, development communication,
anthropology, and organisational communication. This insightful
book will make a significant contribution to debates about the
purpose and practice of public relations in the new century.
Power, Diversity and Public Relations addresses the lack of
diversity in PR by revealing the ways in which power operates
within the occupation to construct archetypal practitioner
identities, occupational belonging and exclusion. It explores the
ways in which the field is normatively constructed through
discourse, and examines how the experiences of practitioners whose
ethnicity and class differ from the typical PR background, shape
alternative understandings of the occupation and their place within
it.
The book applies theoretical perspectives ranging from
Bourdieuvian and occupational sociology to postcolonial and
critical race theory, to a variety of empirical data from the UK PR
industry. Diversity emerges as a product of the dialectics between
occupational structures, norms and practitioners reactions to those
constraints; it follows that improving diversity is best understood
as an exercise in democracy, where all practitioner voices are
heard, valued, and encompass the potential for change.
This insightful text will be essential reading for researchers
and students in Public Relations, Communications, Media Studies,
Promotional Industries, as well as all scholars interested in the
sociology of race and work relations."
Public Relations, Society and the Generative Power of History
examines how histories are used to explore how the past is
constructed from the present, how the present is always historical,
and how both past and present can power imagined futures. Divided
into three distinct parts, the book uses historical inquiry as a
springboard for engaging with interdisciplinary, critical and
complex issues in the past and present. Part I examines the history
of corporate PR, the centrality of the corporation in PR
scholarship and the possibility of resisting corporate hegemony
through PR efforts. The theme of Part II is 'Historicising gender,
ethnicity and diversity in PR work,' focusing on how gendered and
racialised identities have been constructed and resisted both
within the profession and through the result of its work. Part III
engages with 'Histories of public relations in the political
sphere,' bringing together work on the different ways in which
public relations has evolved in changing political contexts, both
formally as a function within political institutions and in the
context of contributions to broader narratives of nationalism and
identity. Featuring contributions from leading academics, this book
challenges traditional PR historiography and contests the 'lessons'
derived from existing literature to address the implications of key
areas of critically engaged PR theory. This volume is a valuable
teaching resource for upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates
studying public relations, strategic communications, political
communication and organisational communication.
The orchid family is one of the largest families of flowering
plants known for their beauty and economic importance. This work
provides information in key areas of research that are important to
both scientists and commercial growers alike. The main purposes of
this book are to provide key practical areas of research, such as,
germination, micropropagation, traditional and current techniques
related to plant improvement; document methods that ensure survival
of plants from laboratories to greenhouses; promote communication
between scientists and growers, so that their combined expertise on
these areas will lead to the successful growth of orchids in their
natural habitats or commercial greenhouses. This book can serve as
reference for laymen with an interest in orchid growing.This book
is divided into 5 parts. The first part emphasizes propagation
methods using seeds and related techniques that are important to
plant conservation and improvement. Successes in asymbiotic and
symbiotic seed germination are keys to orchid conservation and
their propagation. The second part summarizes micropropagation
methods, common media, and newer methods of micropropagation such
as the bioreactor culture procedures. The third part focuses on
techniques related to the manipulation of explants in an in vitro
environment. The fourth part covers cell biological methods and
transformation techniques. Since the successes in a laboratory
setting do not guarantee plant survival and propagation in
greenhouses and in the natural environment, it discusses greenhouse
propagation techniques that are essential to the survival of plants
generated from a laboratory setting. The fifth part showcases
recent successes on orchid propagation by documenting sample
publications and how to present orchids in an artistic fashion for
one's enjoyment.
The first English-language history of Korea to appear in more
than a decade, this translation offers Western readers a
distillation of the latest and best scholarship on Korean history
and culture from the earliest times to the student revolution of
1960. The most widely read and respected general history, "A New
History of Korea (Han'guksa sillon)" was first published in 1961
and has undergone two major revisions and updatings.
Translated twice into Japanese and currently being translated
into Chinese as well, Professor Lee's work presents a new
periodization of his country's history, based on a fresh analysis
of the changing composition of the leadership elite. The book is
noteworthy, too, for its full and integrated discussion of major
currents in Korea's cultural history. The translation, three years
in preparation, has been done by specialists in the field.

The year 1959 has been called The Centennial Year in view of the
anniversary of the publication of The Origin of SPecies and the
centenary of the births of many who later contributed much to the
philosophy of the recent past, such as Samuel Alexander, Henri
Bergson, John Dewey and Edmund Husser ' The essays in the present
volume which are on subjects germane to any of the anniversaries
celebrated this year have been placed first in the present volume.
CENTENNIAL YEAR NUMBER DARWIN AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD JAMES K.
FEIBLEMAN The knowledge of methodology, which is acquired by means
of formal education in the various disciplines, is usually com
municated in abstract form. Harmony and counterpoint in musical
composition, the axiomatic method of mathematics, the established
laws in physics or in chemistry, the principles of mathematics -
all these are taught abstractly. It is only when we come to the
method of discovery in experimental science that we find abstract
communication failing. The most recent as well as the greatest
successes of the experimental sciences have been those scored in
modern times, but we know as yet of no abstract way to teach the
scientific method. The astonishing pedagogical fact is that this
method has never been abstracted and set forth in a fashion which
would permit of its easy acquisition. Here is an astonishing
oversight indeed, for which the very difficulty of the topic may
itself be responsible."
Worlds of adventure await in this action-packed sequel to The
Secret of Zoone, where it's up to Ozzie Sparks, a blue skyger, a
purple-haired princess, and one very overprepared aunt to save the
multiverse from an evil robot overlord. Ozzie Sparks's life went
from normal to out of this world-literally-when he traveled to the
station of Zoone, saved the multiverse, and somehow managed to find
his way home to his Aunt Temperance. He'd like nothing more than to
go back right away, but the portal is stubbornly closed. Until
Zoone comes to him. But his friends Fidget and Tug aren't dropping
in for a friendly visit. An evil overlord and his army of
automatons have taken over Zoone, and it's up to Ozzie, Fidget,
Tug, and Ozzie's usually very normal aunt to defeat them and save
the station (again). Fans of adventures like The Unwanteds and The
Glass Sentence will be swept away by the second book in Lee Edward
Foedi's fantastically fun multiversal series.
