The Transformation of the Media
The changing pattern of contemporary media is one of the most striking and important transformations of our age. This major new work seeks to understand the implications of a series of mediated processes in relation to public cultures and modern identities. In The Transformation of the Media the author leads the reader through a number of complex theoretical issues, connecting the nature of modern communication to the affects this has on our common moral and ethical lives. Most significantly, he argues that a number of perspectives as diverse as Marxism, post-modernism, liberalism, communitarianism and technological determinism can all be found wanting in this regard.

Culture and Citizenship
`Culture' and `citizenship' are two of the most hotly contested concepts in the social sciences. What are the relationships between them? This book explores the issues of inclusion and exclusion, the market and policy, rights and responsibilities, and the definitions of citizens and non-citizens. Substantive topics investigated in the various chapters include: cultural democracy; intersubjectivity and the unconscious; globalization and the nation state; European citizenship; and the discourses on cultural policy.
The Preference
The Preference is about the unfolding of relationships amid complex desires. Although it is a novel of feelings and love, it is by no means an historical romance of the traditional type. Highly individual in its way, it follows the lives of two bright girls from privileged backgrounds from their teen years to early womanhood. Intriguing and unique, Croft’s vivid portrayal of 19th-century life, combined with rich character dynamics, creates an unforgettable ‘keyhole’ look at sexual and emotional power-play in the mid-1800s. A plethora of well-defined characters move this story along. It’s a book that can be appreciated on different levels, but is a treat for anyone with a penchant for the Victorian era... or a taste for the sensual. Insightful, erotic and humorous, exploring profound issues and compelling scenarios, this period drama is written with wit and honesty and was inspired by private archived diaries, defying some of the accepted stereotypes of the times. Its sequel, The Entitlement, is the next to follow.
Milhouse from Memory
Kieran Gabriel asked friends, illustrators and people from the internet to draw Simpsons favourite Milhouse Van Houten. The one catch? They had to do it entirely from memory, with no outside reference. The results are collected in the books! They range from the weird and wonderful but they capture the dorky, playfulness of Milhouse. "Well done, Sir! I'm impressed by the high quality of the drawings and must admit when I draw Milhouse from memory I often forget his eyebrows." Matt Groening
The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn
The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn is the third novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.

For tracking down the killer will involve navigating the insular and labyrinthine world of Oxford colleges . . . The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn is followed by the fourth Inspector Morse book, Service of All the Dead.
