For scholars of media and war, the 2003 invasion of Iraq is a
compelling case to study. As part of President Bush's 'war on
terror', the invasion was the most controversial British foreign
policy decision since Suez, and its ramifications and aftermath
have rarely been far from the news. In the many political and
public debates regarding this conflict, arguments over the role of
the media have been omnipresent. For some, media coverage was
biased against the war, for others it became a cheerleader for the
invasion. Where does the truth lie? Drawing upon a
uniquely-detailed and rich content and framing analysis of
television and press coverage, and on interviews with some of the
journalists involved, Pockets of Resistance provides an
authoritative assessment of how British news media reported the
2003 Iraq invasion and also of the theoretical implications of this
case for our understanding of wartime media-state relations.
Pockets of Resistance examines the successes and failures of
British television news as it sought to attain independence under
the difficult circumstances of war, and describes and explains the
emergence of some surprisingly vociferous anti-war voices within a
diverse national press. -- .
Public issue television is a major contribution to understanding
the relationship between television, politics and society. Based on
full access to the archives, it offers a fascinating historical
account of how one television series, Granada's World in Action,
celebrated for its tough journalism, visual directness and public
impact, functioned and developed over its run across 35 years
between 1963 and 1998. In a succession of chapters looking at
different periods in the series' development and at key dimensions
of its distinctive identity, it gets deep inside the making of
factual television and examines how a particular culture of
production works within broader conditions of possibility and
constraint. In particular, it charts the interwoven processes of
change - technological, professional, aesthetic, institutional,
economic, social and political. As well as discussing achievement
and success, it examines the tensions, the debates and open
conflicts that formed part of the context within which the series
was made and transmitted across four decades. -- .

This beautifully illustrated anthology celebrates eighty years
of history and intellectual inquiry at the Institute for Advanced
Study, one of the world's leading centers for theoretical research.
Featuring essays by current and former faculty and members along
with photographs by Serge J-F. Levy, the book captures the spirit
of curiosity, freedom, and comradeship that is a hallmark of this
unique community of scholars.
Founded in 1930 in Princeton, New Jersey, the institute
encourages and supports fundamental research in the sciences and
humanities--the original, often speculative thinking that can
transform how we understand our world. Albert Einstein was among
the first in a long line of brilliant thinkers to be affiliated
with the institute. They include Kurt Godel, George Kennan, J.
Robert Oppenheimer, Erwin Panofsky, Homer A. Thompson, John von
Neumann, and Hermann Weyl. This volume offers an intimate portrait
in words and images of a storied institution that might best be
described as a true academic village. The personal reflections
collected here--written by leading figures from across the
disciplines--bring this exceptional academic institution and its
history vibrantly to life.
The contributors to this anthology are Michael Atiyah, Chantal
David, Freeman Dyson, Jane F. Fulcher, Peter Goddard, Barbara
Kowalzig, Wolf Lepenies, Paul Moravec, Joan Wallach Scott, and
David H. Weinberg."
