Legal Stories
Author: Gregory Steirer
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 047222171X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Tracing the emergence of what the media industries today call transmedia, story worlds, and narrative franchises, Legal Stories provides a dual history of copyright law and narrative-based media development between the Copyright Act of 1909 and the Copyright Act of 1976. Drawing on archival material, including legal case files, and employing the principles of actor-network theory, Gregory Steirer demonstrates how the meaning and form of narrative-based property in the twentieth century was integral to the letter and practice of intellectual property law during this time. Steirer’s expansive view of intellectual property law encompasses not only statutes and judicial opinions, but also the everyday practices and productions of authors, editors, fans, and other legal laypersons. The result is a history of the law as improvisatory and accident-prone, taking place as often outside the courtroom as inside, and shaped as much by laypersons as lawyers. Through the examination of influential legal disputes involving early properties such as Dashiell Hammett’s Sam Spade, H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, and Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian, Steirer provides a ground’s eye view of how copyright law has operated and evolved in practice.

The Last Dry Creek
Author: Marie Mahood
Publisher: Boolarong Press
ISBN: 1922109185
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Marie Mahood lived and worked on Mongrel Downs cattle station in the Tanami Desert with her family in the 1960s. Time/Life Magazine featured Mongrel Downs as the world’s most remote cattle station. Her best-selling life story, Icing on the Damper, has its roots in this country. She also wrote Legends of the Outback and Still Bleating about the Bush. The Last Dry Creek is the third book in her Serendipity trilogy. It is the sequel to A Bunch of Strays and Crocodile Dreaming. Set in the Northern Territory of the 1970s, it is a fictional saga which borrows strongly from factual events and might well be considered a social comment on Territory history of the time. The story continues the fortunes of the two families of rural battlers, one white and one aboriginal. Their children have grown to be adults and they must now cross the last dry creek. This is Marie Mahood’s metaphor for the calamitous Beef Depression of the seventies. Well-known author, Tom Ronan, once said “It’s a tough country, where only the best of us come out even.” Marie’s two families of battlers, the Hardys and the Nelsons, come out even.

Pages : 384
Book Description
An emotionally compelling tale of love and mystery set in the publishing world of World War II London, When We Meet Again tells the story of a mother searching for her stolen child, and illustrates the unbreakable bonds among families, lovers, and readers under the shadow of war. London, 1943: War and dwindling resources have taken their toll on the book publishing industry, but Alice Cotton, a young editor at Partridge Press, has seen her star begin to rise. She has a knack for creating new books to distract readers from the grim realities of the war. And the demand for books is greater than ever, both on the battlefield and on the home front. But just as her hard work seems poised to pay off, Alice unexpectedly falls pregnant. Facing the stigma of being an unwed mother, Alice flees to a small town to give birth to her child, Eadie, whom her family has promised to help raise. Instead, her mother sells the newborn to "baby farmers" who plan to give the child up for a private adoption. Alice begins her desperate hunt to find the daughter she never planned for but suddenly deeply loves. Alice's story intertwines with that of Theo Bloom, an American editor tasked with helping Partridge Press overcome the publishing obstacles of the war. Theo and Alice are quickly drawn to each other during their darkest hours, bound by hope, love, secrets, and the belief that books have the power to change lives.
