Satterthwaite
Satterthwaite: From a Clearing in the Forest to a Family of the World, is the story of a family and the communities of which it was a part. The family experienced successes and losses, it was persecuted for its valor and for its religious convictions. Many died in famines and plagues. Each time when an outside observer might have concluded that the family could not survive, its members found a way. From a treacherous voyage to escape an angry king in Scandinavia in a small boat, a group of committed people sought a new beginning in Ireland and then England. There they helped build the world's most powerful nation. Then religious persecution led a later generation to seek freedom to worship and live in peace in the colonies of North America. Along with other Quakers they settled New Jersey, and eventually some turned south to North Carolina. Opportunity and adversity dogged them along the way, but through it all they helped make their societies better and stronger places to live. Today Satterthwaites have contributed to the creation of a better world. Theirs is the story of every family. This is their story.

The Press and the State
" ... presents a new political philosophy to help explain the concepts that define the limits of expression within the State. The focus is on the reason for the controls placed upon the media, and upon events and the laws as they shape the role of the State in controlling freedom of expression. In developing this philosophy, the history of the media, media law, and political philosophy are explored only as they relate to the philosophy."--Introduction.
His Master's Voice
His Master's Voice refutes the simplistic pattern of condescending criticism versus a complacent justification which often transpires from the debate on post-colonial Africa's general departure from political pluralism toward autocracy under single-party regimes. Hence, it places the debate in the historical context of statecraft and nation-building, whereby the line between pre-colonial heritage, colonial legacy and post-colonial innovations - against all appearances - has chiefly been a thin one.
The Sounds of Capitalism
From the early days of radio through the rise of television after World War II to the present, music has been used more and more to sell goods and establish brand identities. And since the 1920s, songs originally written for commercials have become popular songs, and songs written for a popular audience have become irrevocably associated with specific brands and products. Today, musicians move flexibly between the music and advertising worlds, while the line between commercial messages and popular music has become increasingly blurred. Timothy D. Taylor tracks the use of music in American advertising for nearly a century, from variety shows like The Clicquot Club Eskimos to the rise of the jingle, the postwar upsurge in consumerism, and the more complete fusion of popular music and consumption in the 1980s and after. The Sounds of Capitalism is the first book to tell truly the history of music used in advertising in the United States and is an original contribution to this little-studied part of our cultural history.
Social Foundations of the Mass Media
Social Foundations of the Mass Media is a historical examination of the intellectual debate over the extent of permissible freedom that should be allowed for the expression and discussion of conflicting ideas. The treatment begins with the ancient Egyptian concepts, extends through Middle Eastern writings, treats the Inquisition and concludes with modern concepts in the United States. Both the church and the state have long desired to repress dissident opinion fearing that their authority would be undermined. They have used persecution, laws, the courts and public opinion to try to impose their ideas upon an unwilling population. Thinkers from Aristotle to Zechariah Chafee, Jr., the renowned legal scholar at Harvard University, and Hugo Black, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, have had much to say about the role of journalists, writers and dissidents. Each of their ideas and those of many others appear in the Social Foundations of the Mass Media. The debate will continue well into the future, but the issues that have been raised over the centuries remain central to the debate today.
