Free Download Winning with Words: The Origins and Impact of Political Framing By Brian F. Schaffner (editor), Patrick J. Sellers (editor)
2009 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0415997933 | PDF | 2 MB
Today's politicians and political groups devote great attention and care to how their messages are conveyed. From policy debates in Congress to advertising on the campaign trail, they carefully choose which issues to emphasize and how to discuss them in the hope of affecting the opinions and evaluations of their target audience. This groundbreaking text brings together prominent scholars from political science, communication, and psychology in a tightly focused analysis of both the origins and the real-world impact of framing. Across the chapters, the authors discuss a broad range of contemporary issues, from taxes and health care to abortion, the death penalty, and the teaching of evolution. The chapters also illustrate the wide-ranging relevance of framing for many different contexts in American politics, including public opinion, the news media, election campaigns, parties, interest groups, Congress, the presidency, and the judiciary.

Free Download Who Writes for Black Children?: African American Children's Literature before 1900 By Katharine Capshaw; Anna Mae Duane
2017 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 1517900271 | PDF | 14 MB
Until recently, scholars believed that African American children's literature did not exist before 1900. Now, Who Writes for Black Children? opens the door to a rich archive of largely overlooked literature read by black children. This volume's combination of analytic essays, bibliographic materials, and primary texts offers alternative histories for early African American literary studies and children's literature studies.From poetry written by a slave for a plantation school to joyful "death biographies" of African Americans in the antebellum North to literature penned by African American children themselves, Who Writes for Black Children? presents compelling new definitions of both African American literature and children's literature. Editors Katharine Capshaw and Anna Mae Duane bring together a rich collection of essays that argue for children as an integral part of the nineteenth-century black community and offer alternative ways to look at the relationship between children and adults.Including two bibliographic essays that provide a list of texts for future research as well as an extensive selection of hard-to-find primary texts, Who Writes for Black Children? broadens our ideas of authorship, originality, identity, and political formations. In the process, the volume adds new texts to the canon of African American literature while providing a fresh perspective on our desire for the literary origin stories that create canons in the first place.Contributors: Karen Chandler, U of Louisville; Martha J.

Free Download Victory Herbal Garden in Your Limited Space: Sustainable Gardening for Children/Beginners by Dueep Jyot Singh, John Davidson, Mendon Cottage Books
English | March 18, 2016 | ISBN: 1530606543 | 50 pages | EPUB | 1.25 Mb
Table of Contents Introduction Containers Miniature Gardening Drainage and Size Sprouting Most Popular Seed Types For Sprouting Traditional Sprouting Process Ready to Eat Seeds Mustard and Cress Materials Needed Choice of Herbs Popular Herbal Tea Herbs Choice of Garden Implements Gravel And Potting Compost John Innes Potting Compost Planting Your Plants Watering of Your Plants Best time for Planting Your Garden Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just talking to one of my friends about gardening, because she was bemoaning the huge amounts of money she had to pay for fresh vegetables and I asked her why she did not make a garden of her own. Her immediate answer was - she had no time. After that, she looked around and said she had absolutely no free space. Especially for flowerpots, herb pots, and all that mess. This book is not for all those people who go into things with enthusiasm, and then one fine day decided that they do not like dirt under their fingernails. And so they abandon all their gardening efforts and decide to do something else constructive like let us say - moan about high prices for vegetables. This book is for all those who are interested in a back to basics food revival where you are going to grow healthy food for you and your family. More and more people want to eat fresh, seasonal and locally grown foods. Most of us are urbanites. Most of our dwellings are high-rise apartments, where you are not going to find any sort of outside space. You may be living off a really busy, noisy, road and you think that no plant is going to grow there. So not true. So if gardening is your game, and even if you have just limited space, use your ingenuity and creativity and let us start this new campaign of growing your own food and growing healthy naturally. In the beginning of the twentieth century, when England was hit by World War II and all the men went to war, women decided to roll up their sleeves and put food upon their family's table, as well as feed a whole army! Yes, all the soldiers were fed with food grown by their womenfolk who had joined the woman's land Army.

Free Download Utopian Television: Rossellini, Watkins, and Godard beyond Cinema By Michael Cramer
2017 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1517900395 | PDF | 5 MB
Television has long been a symbol of social and cultural decay, yet many in postwar Europe saw it as the medium with the greatest potential to help build a new society and create a new form of audiovisual art. Utopian Television examines works of the great filmmakers Roberto Rossellini, Peter Watkins, and Jean-Luc Godard, all of whom looked to television as a promising new medium even while remaining critical of its existing practices.Utopian Television illustrates how each director imagined television's improved or "utopian" version by drawing on elements that had come to characterize it by the early 1960s. Taking advantage of the public service model of Western European broadcasting, each used television to realize works that would never have been viable in the commercial cinema. All three directors likewise seized on television's supposed affinity for information and its status as a "useful" medium, but attempted to join this utility with aesthetic experimentation, suggesting new ways to conceive of the relationship between aesthetics and information.As beautifully written as it is theoretically rigorous, Utopian Television turns to the writing of Fredric Jameson and Ernst Bloch in treating the three directors' television experiments as enactments of "utopia as method." In doing so it reveals the extent to which the medium inspired and shaped hopes not only of a better future but of better moving image art as well.

Free Download Urban Political Ecology in the Anthropo-obscene: Interruptions and Possibilities By Henrik Ernstson (editor), Erik Swyngedouw (editor)
2018 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 1138629189 | PDF | 26 MB
Urban Political Ecology in the Anthropo-obscene: Interruptions and Possibilities centres on how to organize anew the articulation between emancipatory theory and political activism. Across its theoretical and empirical chapters, written by leading scholars from anthropology, geography, urban studies, and political science, the book explores new political possibilities that are opening up in an age marked by proliferating contestations,sharpening socio-ecological inequalities, and planetary processes of urbanization and environmental change. A deepened conversation between urban environmental studies and political theory is mobilized to chart a radically new direction for the field of urban political ecology and cognate disciplines: What could emancipatory politics be about in our time? What does a return of the political under the aegis of equality and freedom signal today in theory and in practice? How do political movements emerge that could re-invent equality and freedom as actually existing socio-ecological practices? The hope is to contribute discussions that can expand and rearrange critical environmental studies to remain relevant in a time of deepening depoliticization and the rise of post-truth politics. Urban Political Ecology in the Anthropo-obscene will be of interest to postgraduates, established scholars, and upper level undergraduates from any discipline or field with an interest in the interface between the urban, the environment, and the political, including: geography, urban studies, environmental studies, and political science.
