The Ceramics Reader
The Ceramics Reader is an impressive editorial collection of essays and text extracts, covering every discipline within ceramics, past and present.

The Marvel Studios Phenomenon
Marvel Studios has provided some of the biggest worldwide cinematic hits of the last eight years, from Iron Man (2008) to the record-breaking The Avengers (2012), and beyond.

The authors identify milestones from Marvel's complex and controversial business history, allowing us to appraise its industrial status: from a comic publisher keen to exploit its intellectual property, to an independent producer, to successful subsidiary of a vast entertainment empire.
