The Photographic Image in Digital Culture
What does a new technology of images mean for the ways in which we encounter and use images in everyday life: in advertising, entertainment, news, evidence? And within our domestic and private worlds for our sense of self and indentity; our view of the body and our sexuality? The Photographic Image in Digital Culture explores the technological transformation of the image and its implications for photography. Contributors investigate such issues as the relationship of technological change to visual culture; the new discourses of `techno-culture'; medicine's new vision of the body, and interactive pornography. They also examine the cultural meanings of new surveillance images; shifts in the domestic consumption of images and their relationship to memory, history and biography; the social uses of video and computer games and the changing role of photography as document and as art.
The Art of Painted Comics
The history of painters in comics goes back to the dawn of pulp magazine covers. From "The Shadow" and "The Spider" to "The Black Bat" and so many other characters, painter's works have graced the covers of comics and pulps, which have influenced many artists over the decades. This deluxe coffeetable art book, edited and overseen by Alex Ross — one of the comic industry's most recognized painters, whose expertise has helped guide and define its contents — is the most important, most comprehensive prestige hardcover retrospective of the history of painters in comics, of all time.

Heaven's Hammers
This memoir begins on the reservation of the White Mountain Apaches in Arizona when a tribal police officer is laid to rest after being assaulted and murdered by two suspected burglars. The book concludes with the author's interrogation of a "routine" suspect in the case of a five-year-old girl who has gone missing for a week. In between these events, the author describes his career journey as an FBI special agent, a journey that sometimes produces success and vindication for crime victims and, sadly, investigations ending in failure. The author, a rather sheltered son of religious parents, navigates a troubled world of darkness, crime and sin.

Terminal Identity
Scott Bukatman's Terminal Identity--referring to both the site of the termination of the conventional "subject" and the birth of a new subjectivity constructed at the computer terminal or television screen--puts to rest any lingering doubts of the significance of science fiction in contemporary cultural studies. Demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge, both of the history of science fiction narrative from its earliest origins, and of cultural theory and philosophy, Bukatman redefines the nature of human identity in the Information Age. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary theories of the postmodern--including Fredric Jameson, Donna Haraway, and Jean Baudrillard--Bukatman begins with the p...
Comic Book Fanthropology
Whether you've spent your entire life reading comics books or you've just met someone who does, you're sure to notice that the average comic book fan is somewhat different than everybody else. Why do they insist on arguing if Superman is stronger than Captain Marvel? Why do they talk as if they own the rights to Judge Dredd? Why do they keep drawing chibi versions of themselves? The only way to find out all the answers is to study comic book fandom to discover what makes fans tick. Comic Book Fanthropology does exactly that in a casual, narrative manner.
