Principles of American Journalism
In a rapidly changing media landscape, what becomes of journalism?

Culture and Commerce
Art and business are often described as worlds apart, even diametric opposites. And yet, these realms are close cousins in creative industries where firms bring cultural goods to market, attaching price tags to music, paintings, theater, literature, film, and fashion.

Highlighting the role of "pioneer entrepreneurs"—who carve out space for radical, new product categories—Khaire illustrates how creative professionals influence our sense of value, shifting consumer behavior and our culture in deep, surprising ways.

Experience the harrowing invasion through the eyes of the Marines, soldiers, and sailors who fought there: The devastating pre-invasion bombardment that pounded Japanes...
