There is little argument that mass media news projects a particular point of view. The question is how that bias is formed. Most media critics look to the attitudes of reporters and editors, the covert news policy of a publisher, or the outside pressures of politicians and advertisers. Manufacturing the News takes a different tack. Mark Fishman’s research shows how the routine methods of gathering news, rather than any hidden manipulators, determine the ideological character of the product. News organizations cover the world mainly through “beats,” which tend to route reporters exclusively through governmental agencies and corporate bureaucracies in their search for news. Crime, for instance, is covered through the police and court bureaucracies; local politics through the meetings of the city council, county commissioners, and other official agencies. Reporters under daily deadlines come to depend upon these organizations for the predictable, steady flow of raw news material they provide. It is part of the function of such bureaucracies to transform complex happenings into procedurally defined “cases.” Thus the information they produce for newsworkers represents their own bureaucratic reality. Occurrences which are not part of some bureaucratic phase are simply ignored. Journalists participate in this system by publicizing bureaucratic reality as hard fact, while accounts from other sources are treated as unconfirmed reports which cannot be published without time-consuming investigation. Were journalists to employ different methods of news gathering, Fishman concludes, a different reality would emerge in the news—one that might challenge the legitimacy of prevailing political structures. But, under the traditional system, news reports will continue to support the interests of the status quo independently of the attitudes and intentions of reporters, editors, and news sources.

Gracias al poeta Manuel Alcántara he tenido la inmensa suerte de beber, en el transcurso de muchas noches seguidas de sus altas madrugadas, en las fuentes del verso y de la prosa, por medio de revelaciones que con la forma de anécdotas me hicieron ver aquel detalle que no entendía de este o ese escritor. Frente a nosotros y sentados a la misma mesa, han compartido nuestro pan y nuestra copa los versos de quienes fueron y son poetas, sin distinciones de generación, tiempo o sexo. Si de pronto un verso de Gonzalo de Berceo, o de Góngora, o de Quevedo, hundíase en nuestro vino, más tarde otro de Luis Cernuda, o de Luis Felipe Vivanco, o de Blas de Otero, o de Fernando Pessoa, mojaba un trozo de su pan en nuestro plato.Juvenal Soto

Nos pasamos la vida buscando una aprobación que no necesitamos por parte de gente a la que le damos igual para que nos permitan seguir haciendo aquello que no nos satisface con el objetivo de conseguir algo que en realidad jamás quisimos.Esto no es un manual. Ni un diccionario. Ni tan siquiera una guía. Básicamente, porque no está ordenado. Como la vida, que viene siempre como le da la gana. Después de un polvo, un asterisco en la analítica; antes de cualquier cumpleaños, un funeral. Esto se parece más a un puñado de cuándos protagonizado por algunos quiénes que se empeñan en encontrarle a todo un porqué.

Este manual de la Biblia quiere ser una ayuda para la comprensión del libro sagrado. Dos son los puntos de vista que han guiado al autor en la selección del material: ante todo, el empeño por ofrecer informaciones y representaciones claras del entorno histórico, geográfico y cultural de la Biblia, a fin de hacer más transparentes los mismos textos bíblicos; y, en segundo lugar, dar aquellas referencias básicas que sirven para señalizar o al menos facilitar la comprensión interna de la doctrina bíblica. Tal vez este segundo aspecto vaya más lejos de lo que cabría esperar de un libro así, pero no debemos olvidar que la comprensión actual del sentido de los textos de la Biblia es lo que en definitiva interesa a los lectores a quienes va dirigido este estudio. En concreto, esta obra nos ofrece los puntos que siguen.Introducción a la Biblia. Una vez consignados los libros que forman el Antiguo y el Nuevo Testamento, se especifican los rasgos típicos de la visión judía y de la cristiana

Las estructuras son un elemento esencial del proceso de construcción y constituyen, sin embargo, uno de los conceptos más difíciles de aprehender por parte de los arquitectos. Aunque a menudo los ingenieros son los responsables del cálculo estructural de un edificio, los arquitectos deben tener los conocimientos adecuados y suficientes sobre teoría y análisis estructural para proyectarlo. Bajo el sello inconfundible del maestro del dibujo arquitectónico Francis D. K. Ching, este manual ilustrado propone un nuevo enfoque del diseño estructural que pone de relieve la relación de los sistemas estructurales de un edificio entendidos como un conjunto integrado de elementos con sus propios patrones, sistema y escala con los aspectos fundamentales del proyecto arquitectónico. Los sistemas estructurales en los edificios se abordan a partir de distintos aspectos, como la composición formal y espacial, la adecuación al programa, la coordinación con otros sistemas del edificio y el cumplimiento d

La vida de Manuel Martínez, nacido en Madrid en 1951, puede leerse como la historia subterránea de toda una generación de inadaptados sociales; jóvenes de barrioque se enfrentaron a una maquinaria represiva heredera directa de la Santa Inquisición. Su peripecia vital puede leerse como una contrahistoria de la España ?de esa España salvaje? de la segunda mitad del siglo xx, que pasódel tardofranquismo a una democracia de consumidores.Manuel entrará en el talego como un chorizo, como un quinqui de barrio, como uno más de los miles que sufrieronla aplicación de la Ley de Vagos y Maleantes ?más tarde de Peligrosidad Social?, y saldrá de prisión convertido en un expropiador.

This book is intended to meet a range of different needs and to cater for different levels of knowledge about employee ownership. If you are considering making your company employee-owned or you are advising someone going through that process, and in either case are new to the topic, you can build up your knowledge levels from Chapter 1. Alternatively, the book can be used as a reference work if you have a particular question to answer.Some parts of the book will not be relevant to every reader. For example, several Chapters consider how employees can acquire shares personally: these will not be relevant to companies which intend their employee ownership only to be through an employee trust.The book is intended as practical guide rather than a highly detailed technical treatise. Its priority is to explain key issues in an accessible fashion and to raise awareness of where further exploration and advice may be important.

For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith—and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith—but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than 20 years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.

How do you aim a Lewis gun? What can you do to protect your war horse from a gas attack? How do you design a barbed wire entanglement for a front line trench?

The Tommies’ Manual 1916 combines the best of them into a poignant facsimile. Most were supremely practical or highly technical; some became obsolete almost immediately, overtaken by technological advances; others hid the grim reality of war behind a prosaic title. All make fascinating reading and are reproduced here with an introduction and over seventy period illustrations.
