Communication Theory: Power, Media, Gender, and Technology (Critical
Media Studies: Institutions, Politics, and Culture)
Sue Curry Jansen -- "Critical theorist, feminist, and censorship expert Sue Curry Jansen
brings a fresh perspective to contemporary communication inquiry. Jansen
engages two key questions at the heart of a critical politics of
communication: What do we know? And how do we know it? The questions are
not unique to our era, she notes, but our responses to them are our
own. Looking at issues of globalization, science, politics, gender,
social inequality, and other social formations that shape our world,
this insightful book advocates a new agenda not only for communication
research, but also for the writing_and language_that comes out of it."

Indian Thought Between Tradition and the Culture of Technology
David L. Johnson -- "He argues that the solution lies not in dismissing the culture of
technology but in incorporating it within the fabric of tradition, so
that India can keep pace with the time. He tackles the problem by
delving deep into the intracies of the matter of tradition and
technology; and spells out the changes required in our traditional way
of looking at things. The book is very contemporary in its approach and
reflects a rare kind of optimism about Indias potentialities in facing
the problem."

to these disciplines, one that is grounded in the philosophical and
cosmological foundations of Aboriginal concepts of community and
identity within the rigour of contemporary arts discourse. Approachable
in nature but scholarly in content, this book is the first of its kind."

Recharge Your Library Programs with Pop Culture and Technology:: Connect with Today's Teens
Linda D. Behen -- "Today's school libraries need to evolve and meet the needs of
21st-century students—the instruction, programming, and library services
must be relevant to today's learners. Additionally, the interactions
between educators and the students are what make the critical difference
in the students' learning, and turn the library and classroom into
places where they will find, assimilate, experience, and understand
information. This book provides practical strategies for using pop
culture and technology trends to connect with easily distracted middle
and high school students and hold their attention."
