Encyclopedia of Communication Theory
Author: Stephen W. Littlejohn
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1412959373
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 1193
Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Communication Theory provides students and researchers with a comprehensive two-volume overview of contemporary communication theory. Reference librarians report that students frequently approach them seeking a source that will provide them with a quick overview of a particular theory or theorist - just enough to help them grasp the general concept or theory and its relation to the discipline as a whole. Communication scholars and teachers also occasionally need a quick reference for theories. Edited by the co-authors of the best-selling textbook on communication theory and drawing on the expertise of an advisory board of 10 international scholars and nearly 200 contributors from 10 countries, this work finally provides such a resource. More than 300 entries address topics related not only to paradigms, traditions, and schools, but also metatheory, methodology, inquiry, and applications and contexts. Entries cover several orientations, including psycho-cognitive; social-interactional; cybernetic and systems; cultural; critical; feminist; philosophical; rhetorical; semiotic, linguistic, and discursive; and non-Western. Concepts relate to interpersonal communication, groups and organizations, and media and mass communication. In sum, this encyclopedia offers the student of communication a sense of the history, development, and current status of the discipline, with an emphasis on the theories that comprise it.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
This book is for the millions of people who bought or listened online to Christopher Hitchens' book "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" and hundreds of millions of people worldwide who've witnessed a multitude of world-renowned intellectuals and religious leaders fail to combat the late and great Christopher Hitchens with any scriptural evidence. With Bible citations provided to support each assertion, author Peter James utilizes his 4-decade long study of biblical scripture and presents a genuinely authentic "why not let the Bible speak for itself" approach to answering the questions and accusations brought up by Christopher Hitchens in his book and debates. This book will evoke feelings that are not for the faint of heart and easily offended. Starting from the introduction, the author challenges his readers to open their bibles regardless of faith or lack thereof, to take on Christopher Hitchens with scriptural evidence rather than man-made interpretation and opinion. With the absence of a religious agenda, doctrine, and personal bias, "God Is Great: Bible Rebuttal to Christopher Hitchens" will leave you questioning everything you've ever known about religion, the bible, and god.

The Message of the Kingdom
Author: Yliyah Paul
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1452039887
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
You’ve heard the lies. Now, learn the truth - if you dare! Prepare yourself for a real eye opener! Take off your rose colored glasses before you read this one, because it is probably the most controversial and revealing book ever written! The truth is more precious than the purest gold, and it has been said: the “truth is stranger than fiction”. The latter is very true in Satan’s world of lies and deception, as will be revealed, for this book shakes the very foundations of most world religions, age old philosophies, and creation theories. However, only the emotionally mature, the truly open minded, and the intellectually brave should explore this book, for the knowledge obtained can alienate as well as enlighten those who discover these truths! There is much truth to be found in these pages, but this book was not written for the masses but for the “few who seek” and love the truth more than their own lives! We are now in The End of Days! The last five years of increase in intensity and number of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, and floods (caused mostly by global warming!) plus a significant increase in famine, incurable diseases, terrorism, and instability in the Middle East attest to that conclusion! It’s time for the truth in religion, politics, UFO’s, extraterrestrials, creation theories, and the future of mankind and Planet, Earth! Lies and myth have been perpetuated throughout the centuries. With the dawning of a new era, it is time the predestined purpose and nature of humanity and the true identity and nature of The Creator be revealed to those who desire and seek it. The reader will discover how Satan “has deceived the whole world” through false teachers and mistranslation. Evolution and Creationism (or Creation Science) along with other scientific methods are merged into an easy to understand synthesis, for both have some validity in the creation of the universe. “The straight and narrow way” that leads to eternal life is made plain and easy to understand, and it is the same religion found in The Messiah’s message expressed nearly 2000 years ago, which, believe it or not is not and was not: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, nor most versions of Judaism! The Creator is described as all knowing and omnipotent in spirit as well as in physical and scientific terms. For example, he and his host have the power to appear and disappear as Spirit Beings, or they can choose to take physical form and travel about the universe in their “chariots of fire” via wormholes at incredible speeds. Time and space are of no consequence to The Eternal One and his Heavenly Host, for they have long ago conquered both. They rule and nurture all life in the universe and will soon return to rule Planet Earth, when “The Seed” they have planted has come into fruition. At his Messiah’s coming, his “clouds of glory” will be so numerous, “the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed its light”! Earthquakes, floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, famine, disease, wars, terrorism, and economic woes will continue to increase in intensity and frequency as the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse come to full gallop as the time of the end approaches. The author predicted the recent increase in terrorism and natural disasters with the first edition of this book in 1996, which was drafted in 1989! Time is running out for man as we know him! A relatively rare breed of human will “inherit the earth” as “The Wheat” described in Matthew 5:3-10 & 13:23 planted as his “seed of righteousness” 6,000 years ago in Adam. NOTE: This book does not call for any violence, Jihad, or “Holy War” against any government or religion. For, “those who live by the sword shall die by the sword”. Vengeance is mine says “The Most High”, and when his “Day of Indignation” has come, rest assured, vengeance will be duly executed! For, “they come from a far country, from the end of Heaven - even the Most High and the weapons of indignation to destroy the whole land” (Isaiah 13:5). “Behold, they shall come with fire and chariots like the whirlwind” (Isaiah 66:15). And what do these chariots look like? “Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel” (Ezek 1:16). Now look again at the front cover! Get the picture - what the “clouds of glory” really look like? The reader will discover the science behind magic and the truth behind myth. This is a last chance calling for those who love truth and are found worthy to be “saved” from the coming destruction and allowed to live in the coming wonderful world and rule with the Messiah for 1000 years. This writing constitutes fulfillment of the prophecy of the “Message of the Kingdom” as correctly translated in Mark 13:10 & Matthew 24:14, which is to be published/preached into all the world” just before The End of The Age.

ISBN: 1134513208
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 722
Book Description
The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science was published to widespread acclaim in 1996, and has become the major reference work in the field. This eagerly awaited new edition has been fully revised and updated to take full account of the many and radical changes which have taken place since the Encyclopedia was originally conceived. With nearly 600 entries, written by a global team of over 150 contributors, the subject matter ranges from mobile library services provided by camel and donkey transport to search engines, portals and the World Wide Web. The new edition retains the successful structure of the first with an alphabetical organization providing the basic framework of a coherent collection of connected entries. Conceptual entries explore and explicate all the major issues, theories and activities in information and library science, such as the economics of information and information management. A wholly new entry on information systems, and enhanced entries on the information professions and the information society, are key features of this new edition. Topical entries deal with more specific subjects, such as collections management and information services for ethnic minorities. New or completely revised entries include a group of entries on information law, and a collection of entries on the Internet and the World Wide Web.
