Anglo-American Media Interactions, 1850-2000 (Hardcover, First): Joel H. Wiener, Mark Hampton Anglo-American Media Interactions, 1850-2000 (Hardcover, First)

R1,614 Discovery Miles 16 140 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Through fourteen original essays by leading historians and media scholars, "Anglo-American Media Interactions" reveals the complicated ways in which British and American media have influenced each other over the past two centuries. In doing so, it adds an important transatlantic dimension to a media scholarship that normally remains within strictly national contexts, while demonstrating the crucial and varied ways in which media have helped build an Anglo-American 'special relationship'.

Hydrogen Peroxide Metabolism in Health and Disease (Paperback): Anthony J. Kettle, Margreet C. M. Vissers, Mark Hampton Hydrogen Peroxide Metabolism in Health and Disease (Paperback)
Anthony J. Kettle, Margreet C. M. Vissers, Mark Hampton
R1,683 Discovery Miles 16 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Much of the biology of oxidative stress and oxidative signalling centres on the generation and handling of hydrogen peroxide. The overall aim for this book would be to provide an insightful and useful forum to assist with the understanding of the relevance of hydrogen peroxide generation and how this is managed in human biology. The target audience would be those who currently have an interest in the generation of ROS, but who do not have expertise in chemistry, as well as those experts in the chemistry of oxidative stress, but without detailed understanding of the biologically relevant setting. We would aim to bridge the gap in understanding between chemistry and biology.

Hong Kong and British Culture, 1945-97 (Hardcover): Mark Hampton Hong Kong and British Culture, 1945-97 (Hardcover)
Mark Hampton
R2,542 Discovery Miles 25 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines the British cultural engagement with Hong Kong in the second half of the twentieth century. It shows how the territory fit unusually within Britain's decolonisation narratives and served as an occasional foil for examining Britain's own culture during a period of perceived stagnation and decline. Drawing on a wide range of archival and published primary sources, Hong Kong and British culture, 1945-97 investigates such themes as Hong Kong as a site of unrestrained capitalism, modernisation, and good government, as well as an arena of male social and sexual opportunity. It also examines the ways in which Hong Kong Chinese embraced British culture, and the competing predictions that British observers made concerning the colony's return to Chinese sovereignty. An epilogue considers the enduring legacy of British colonialism. This book will be essential reading for historians of Hong Kong, British decolonisation, and Britain's culture of declinism. -- .

The Cultural Construction of the British World (Paperback): Barry Crosbie, Mark Hampton The Cultural Construction of the British World (Paperback)
Barry Crosbie, Mark Hampton
R598 Discovery Miles 5 980 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

What were the cultural factors that held the British world together? How was Britishness understood at home, in the Empire, and in areas of informal British influence? This book makes the case for a 'cultural British world', and examines how it took shape in a wide range of locations, ranging from India to Jamaica, from Sierra Leone to Australia, and from south China to New Zealand. Eleven original essays explore a wide range of topics, including images of nakedness, humanitarianism, anti-slavery, literary criticism, travel narratives, and household possessions. The book argues that the debates around these issues, as well as the consumer culture associated with them, helped give the British world a sense of cohesion and identity. The cultural construction of the British world will be essential reading for historians of imperialism and globalisation, and includes contributions from some of the most prominent historians of British imperial and cultural history. -- .
