Book Description
This third volume in a much praised series on The French Revolution and the Creation of Modern Political Culture examines the way in which the Revolution has been portrayed in European thought and its impact upon the development of political philosophy in the nineteenth century. Opening with the influence of Burke and other contemporaries of the Revolution and the ensuing debate over the question "Why the Terror?", this volume explores such diverse themes as the legacy of the Revolution on the political and social evolution of Germany, England, Italy and Russia; the crisis it brought about in the Catholic Church; and the difficulties encountered in determining the end of the Revolution. By showing that the upheaval in European politics and philosophy caused by the French Revolution continued to shape nations, peoples and thought, the texts brought together in this volume permit a better understanding of the event's extraordinary complexity.

Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic: uncensored observations, mini stories and more Reflections on the catastrophe that was the COVID-19 pandemic. The pieces of writing in this collection are presented in three categories: – ‘Lockdown’. Restricted movement, common activities banned and socialising outlawed. These are three key aspects of the brutal, draconian rules we had to live by. ‘Lockdown’ looks at life under severe, often debilitating restrictions. – ‘The Government’. Wreaking havoc with a few choice words, allowing our lives to go into meltdown and exercising a frightening amount of power. These are three things governments did in an attempt to protect us from the deadly virus. ‘The Government’ questions and criticises many decisions made by our daring leaders. – ‘The Media’. Inducing terror with overly dramatic headlines, encouraging us all to panic and making us see the harmless as hazardous. These are three things the media did while the virus continued its assault on the world. ‘The Media’ is all about the official reporting of the pandemic and how it affected our approach to it. The pandemic affected us all and changed our lives in breathtaking ways. Everyone has thoughts, opinions and beliefs to do with it. Here are mine. If you’re after a social commentary that gets you thinking about the nightmare pandemic, you’ll enjoy reading Viral. Buy now and see what I have to say about the virus that plunged the world into a crisis situation like no other.

Terror Post 9/11 and the Media
Author: David L. Altheide
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9781433103650
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Throughout the world, the mass media are responsible for shaping the form and content of experiences. In this book, David L. Altheide examines how the mass media, including news and popular culture, have cast terrorism, propaganda and social control post 9/11. Altheide shows how fear works with terrorism to alter discourse, social meanings, and our sense of being in the world. Emphasis is placed on the different institutional interventions and how these particular stories become framed and inform the wider media narratives of terror. The author argues that post 9/11 we are witnessing the emergence of new communication formats that not only constitute counter-narratives, but also shape future communicative experience. The text is suitable for scholars and students interested in the ongoing relationship between the media and terror post 9/11.

Sick and tired of Christmas? Me too A short and uncensored collection of rants about the excessively jubilant Christmas. I may be breaking a taboo when I admit that I don’t like the biggest day of the year that much, but so what. In Not So Festive, I hold nothing back and rant about Christmas, the annual frenzy of gifts and money so many of us love. I unleash my inner Scrooge and show why I am reluctant to get into the spirit of the occasion. But, it’s not all negativity as there’s actually something to do with the holiday that I’m grateful for. After the fifteen passionate rants, there’s a sixteenth and final piece that’s about something rather uplifting. Do you find Christmas preposterous and dislike it too? If you want a raw, honest look at one of the greatest modern-day traditions, you’ll enjoy reading Not So Festive. Buy now and see what I have to say about the oh-so wonderful day that gets bigger and more monetised every year.

Is normality guaranteed to resume? Will another virus come along and cause another worldwide catastrophe? When will the world have truly conquered COVID-19? These are three of the many questions to consider as we embrace defiance and move on. ‘The Future’ looks at how much longer the virus is going to play a role in our lives and whether we’ll have the backbone to shake it off for good.
