With the rapid change in the structure and value of media industries in recent years, understanding the mechanics of such change is crucial to provide insight into the processes reproducing contemporary trends in media economics, rather than simply documenting historical patterns. Editors Alison Alexander, James Owers, and Rodney Carveth have included contributions here that address the concerns of media economics, the techniques of economic and business analysis, and overall characteristics of the rapidly changing media environments, in addition to examining economic practice within specific media industries. The text concludes with a review of changes in international economic practices and in the economics of online media, and considers how the changing technologies will be a factor in economic successes. Essential for study at all levels, Media Economics: Theory and Practice is at the forefront of contemporary media economic theory and practice.

A dozen essays from a July 1994 conference at the University of San Marino argue that a total shift to electronic information media would trigger wrenching social and cultural dislocations. Among their perspectives are the pragmatics of the new, farewell to the information age, toward meta-reading, hypertext and authorship, and the body of the text. They avoid the usual fetish arguments such as curling up in bed or leather bindings and pipes. Novelist Umberto Eco provides an afterward. No index or word search.

This book provides a compact history of gears, by summarizing the main stages of their development and the corresponding gradual acquisition of engineering expertise, from the antiquity to the Renaissance and the twentieth century. This brief history makes no claim to be exhaustive, since the topic is so extensive, complex and fascinating that it deserves an entire encyclopedia. Despite its brevity, the book debunks a number of popular misconceptions, such as the belief that the first literary description of a gear was supplied by Aristotle. It disproves not only this myth, but also other peremptory statements and/or axiomatic assumptions that have no basis in written documents, archaeological findings or other factual evidence. The book is chiefly intended for students and lecturers, historians of science and scientists, and all those who want to learn about the genesis and evolution of this topic.
