Cambridge University Press The Production of Books in England 13501500 14 Cambridge Studies in Palaeography and Codicology Series Number 14
Book SynopsisBetween roughly 1350 and 1500, the English vernacular became established as a language of literary, bureaucratic, devotional and controversial writing; metropolitan artisans formed guilds for the production and sale of books for the first time; and Gutenberg's and eventually Caxton's printed books reached their first English consumers. This book gathers the best work on manuscript books in England made during this crucial but neglected period. Its authors survey existing research, gather intensive new evidence and develop new approaches to key topics. The chapters cover the material conditions and economy of the book trade; amateur production both lay and religious; the effects of censorship; and the impact on English book production of manuscripts and artisans from elsewhere in the British Isles and Europe. A wide-ranging and innovative series of essays, this volume is a major contribution to the history of the book in medieval England.Trade Review'The chapters that form The Production of Books in England, 1350–1500 are consistently high quality essays that create a well-integrated unit. Gillespie and Wakelin have taken care to envision the overarching purpose of the text and to solicit chapters that further the purpose - historicizing the creation of manuscript texts at the beginning of the print revolution. If their challenges are accepted, we can look forward to more varied and vital productions in history of the book.' Linda Englade, Rare Books Newsletter'This volume will have a wide audience, since all the essays make an important contribution to the field of late medieval manuscript studies...an excellent and well-produced book that should quickly become the standard work for later medieval book history.'

Cambridge University Press Weaponized Words
Book SynopsisStrengthen your understanding of the persuasive mechanisms used by terrorist groups and how they are effective in order to defeat them. Weaponized Words applies existing theories of persuasion to domains unique to this digital era, such as social media, YouTube, websites, and message boards to name but a few. Terrorists deploy a range of communication methods and harness reliable communication theories to create strategic messages that persuade peaceful individuals to join their groups and engage in violence. While explaining how they accomplish this, the book lays out a blueprint for developing counter-messages perfectly designed to conquer such violent extremism and terrorism. Using this basis in persuasion theory, a socio-scientific approach is generated to fight terrorist propaganda and the damage it causes.Trade Review'Kurt Braddock is the leading scholar on communication research, terrorism, and counter-terrorism. Both practically useful and grounded in solid evidence, I would recommend Weaponised Words to certified counter-terrorism and countering violent extremism practitioners and researchers alike. It is a cutting-edge toolbox to level the playing field against extremist and terrorist recruitment.' Daniel Koehler, Director of German Institute on Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies (GIRDS)'Weaponized Words delivers a powerful one-two punch, combining a deep dive into the science of persuasion with detailed recommendations for counter-terrorism communications. This is exactly the kind of hands-on guide that counter-terrorism practitioners need and is destined to have a huge impact on how people around the world combat violent extremism.' J. M. Berger, author of Extremism, research fellow for VOX-Pol, and consultant on extremism'… the book … contains a detailed explanation of a prominent theory of communication, followed by guidance for practitioners. The theoretical explanations - of narrative persuasion, attitude inoculation, reasoned action theory, and emotional appeals - incorporate extensive references to both classic and cutting-edge research in the social and behavioral sciences.' S. Blincoe, Choice'… this book contributes to the understanding of the persuasive communication techniques that have been used by extremist groups, and can be used to defeat them. This book is ideal for researchers and practitioners interested in perusasive communication as an effective counter-radicalisation tool.'

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Jimmy Neurosis
Book SynopsisA Lambda Literary Award FinalistFrom a celebrated figure of the food world comes a poignant, provocative memoir about being young and gay during the 1970s punk revolution in AmericaLong before James Oseland was a judge on Top Chef Masters, he was a teenage rebel growing up in the pre-Silicon Valley, California, suburbs, yearning for a taste of something wild. Diving headfirst into the churning mayhem of the punk movement, he renamed himself Jimmy Neurosis and embarked on a journey into a vibrant underground world populated by visionary musicians and artists. In a quest that led him from the mosh pits of San Francisco to the pop world of Andy Warhol’s Manhattan, he learned firsthand about friendship of all stripes, and what comes of testing the limits—both the joyous glories and the unanticipated, dangerous consequences. With humor and verve, Oseland brings to life the effervescent cocktail of music

Book SynopsisA gripping, flawlessly researched, and overdue portrait of America''s trailblazing female journalists. Kim Todd has restored these long-forgotten mavericks to their rightful place in American history.'' Abbott Kahler, author (as Karen Abbott) ofThe Ghosts of Eden Park and Liar, Temptress, Soldier, SpyA vivid social history that brings to light the ''girl stunt reporters'' of the Gilded Age who went undercover to expose corruption and abuse in America, and redefined what it meant to be a woman and a journalist''pioneers whose influence continues to be felt today.In the waning years of the nineteenth century, women journalists across the United States risked reputation and their own safety to expose the hazardous conditions under which many Americans lived and worked. In various disguises, they stole into sewing factories to report on child labor, fainted in the streets to test public hospital treatment, posed as lobbyists to reveal corrupt politicians. Inventive writers whose in-depth narratives made headlines for weeks at a stretch, these ''girl stunt reporters'' changed laws, helped launch a labor movement, championed women''s rights, and redefined journalism for the modern age. The 1880s and 1890s witnessed a revolution in journalism as publisher titans like Hearst and Pulitzer used weapons of innovation and scandal to battle it out for market share. As they sought new ways to draw readers in, they found their answer in young women flooding into cities to seek their fortunes. When Nellie Bly went undercover into Blackwell''s Insane Asylum for Women and emerged with a scathing indictment of what she found there, the resulting sensation created opportunity for a whole new wave of writers. In a time of few jobs and few rights for women, here was a path to lives of excitement and meaning. After only a decade of headlines and fame, though, these trailblazers faced a vicious public backlash. Accused of practicing ''yellow journalism, their popularity waned until ''stunt reporter'' became a badge of shame. But their influence on the field of journalism would arc across a century, from the Progressive Era ''muckraking'' of the 1900s to the personal ''New Journalism'' of the 1960s and ''70s, to the ''immersion journalism'' and ''creative nonfiction'' of today. Bold and unconventional, these writers changed how people would tell stories forever.
