Emotions play an important role in both sport and games, from the
pride and joy of victory, the misery and shame of defeat, and the
anger and anxiety felt along the way. This volume brings together
experts in the philosophy of sport and games and experts in the
philosophy of emotion to investigate this important area of
research. The book discusses the role of the emotions for both
participants and spectators of sports and games, including detailed
discussions of suffering, shame, anger, anxiety, misery and hatred.
It also investigates the issues of collective emotions in relation
to sport such as the shared joy of a football crowd when their team
scores a goal. In addition, this volume examines the role of
pretence and make believe in emotional reactions to sport. In so
doing, it makes important contributions both to the philosophy of
sport and to the philosophy of emotions, which will be of interest
to researchers and students in both fields. This book was first
published as a special issue of the Journal of the Philosophy of
Sport.

At a time of growing interest in economic aspects of media, this
edited volume presents a comprehensive and timely set of
perspectives on key sectors of media and media infrastructures and
related economic questions. Impressive in both scope and depth,
this well-informed book guides readers through a compelling set of
concepts and issues relevant to an increasingly internationalised
contemporary media environment.' - Gillian Doyle, University of
Glasgow, UK'This volume offers a comprehensive overview of modern
approaches to media economics at a time of remarkable transition to
new technologies and new business models.' - Bruce Owen, Stanford
University, US Media industries and services present a complex set
of challenges to economic analysis: challenges made more difficult
by the technological changes that have been transforming the media
sector. Research on the economics of media has made major advances
in recent years and has contributed greatly to an increasingly
sophisticated understanding of how media are shaped by economic
forces, including those unleashed by new technologies. This
Handbook examines the variety of contexts and infrastructures in
which content is produced and distributed and how these influence
the types of media products and services available, their pricing,
their consumption and the public policies related to them. The
original contributions provide a state-of-the-art guide to the most
recent thinking and research findings on the broad range of
media-related topics addressed by economics research. Written by
leading scholars, this book should be informative and of practical
value for advanced students, policy makers, industry professionals,
economists, media economists, and other academics. Contributors: N.

A full-size facsimile of John Ruskin’s as yet unpublished book of
pressed plants with notes, collected and compiled by Ruskin during
1844 from the mountains and forests around Chamonix, France. This
rare example of a herbier to be reproduced and published is
accompanied with a second volume of notes and commentary. Here,
Ruskin’s full, scientific explanations are fully commented on in
the light of modern botanical knowledge. Professors David Ingram
and Stephen Wildman provide an introduction, illuminating essays
and detailed notes and commentary on Ruskin’s herbier.
John Ruskin assembled 1470 diverse works of art for use in the
Drawing School he founded at Oxford in 1871. They included drawings
by himself and other artists, prints and photographs. This book
focuses on highlights of works produced by Ruskin himself. Drawings
by John Ruskin are uniquely interesting. Unlike those of a
professional artist they were not made in preparation for finished
paintings or as works in their own right. Every one - and they
number several thousand, depending on what can be considered a
separate drawing - is a record of something seen, initially as a
memorandum of that observation but with the potential to illustrate
his writings or for educational purposes, notably to form part of
the teaching collection of the Drawing School he established after
election as Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University. In
addition, because of the range of interests of arguably the only
true polymath of his time, every drawing touches on some
interesting aspect of art and architecture, landscape and travel,
botany and natural history, often connected with his writings and
lectures. Ruskin's life is one of the best documented of any in the
19th century, through letters, diaries and the many
autobiographical revelations in his published writings: this allows
the opportunity to give almost any drawing a level of context
impossible for any other artist. When there is so much background
information, a single drawing reveals much about its creator, and
becomes a window into the great sprawling edifice of his life and
work.
