Product Description

Globalization and Civilizations challenges established assumptions about the nature of civilizations and the supposed inevitability of the conflict between the Islamic and Western worlds. Uniquely, this edited book critically interrogates the concept of 'civilization' by asking whether it is still valid in the globalized world economy of the twenty-first century. The first half of the book provides an historical and theoretical context to understand the idea of 'civilization' in political science and demonstrates how the various social, economic, political and cultural processes of globalization have radically altered perceptions of civilization. The second half of the book looks particularly at non-Western examples of the interaction between globalization and civilization and includes case studies on the Arab world, Islam, China, India and Europe

Globalization and Civilizations Review

The book was written before September 2001, but was published shortly thereafter. Its contents take on extra relevance because of that month and the subsequent events, like the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The text offers a sophisticated understanding of how or why increasing globalisation, due to trade and mobility of peoples, need not necessarily lead to greater conflicts.

Granted, immediately after September 2001, many Americans probably felt that fewer Arab Muslim visitors to the US would be a good and prudent thing. But reading the book might cause you to reflect otherwise.

Broadly speaking, the tone of the book is quite optimistic.

Product Description

'The ultimate book on the creative skills of journalism' - Writing Magazine. 'Useful and timely.. it is refreshing to discover a book so overtly designed to inspire students to think about what can make writing good - or even great.' - Media International Australia. This is a book about the art of writing for newspapers and magazine, but doesn't look at punctuation, spelling and the stylistic conventions of 'everyday' journalism. Instead, Good Writing For Journalists presents extended examples of writing which are powerful, memorable, colourful or funny. Each piece will be contextualised and analysed encouraging readers to learn from the best practitioners. This book will inspire those who want to make their writing individual and memorable. Along the way the major elements of non-fiction writing will be introduced, in chapters organised by genre - profile writing, reportage, news analysis, investigation, sports writing, personal and opinion columns and 'lifestyle' among them. Phillip's book sees itself as a natural successor to Wolfe & Johnson's seminal The New Journalism (1975). By adopting a larger sweeping and tailoring itself for the contemporary journalistic arena, this book will be an essential purchase for the discerning journalist and journalism student.

Good Writing for Journalists Review

Written by journalist and college teacher Angela Phillips, Good Writing for Journalists is a no-nonsense guide to improving the quality of one's nonfiction writing.

A large portion of Good Writing for Journalists is devoted to sample journalistic pieces that exemplify positive and memorable qualities, all the better to see Phillips' teachings in use. Enthusiastically recommended especially for journalism students and majors.

Product Description

Baltimore native Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) was an essayist, literary critic, magazine editor, novelist, and journalist. Starting as a reporter for the Baltimore Morning Herald at the turn of the century, Mencken eventually became associated with the Baltimore Sun and his work for the newspaper spanned five decades. In H.L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography, S.T. Joshi provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive bibliography of the writings of H. L. Mencken ever assembled. It presents detailed information on his book publications from 1903 to the present, with a full list of editions and reprints. Most significantly, it presents for the first time a comprehensive annotated listing of his magazine and newspaper work (including more than 1,500 anonymous editorials for the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Evening Sun, and other papers, which have never been listed in any previous bibliographies), a thorough index to his book reviews, and a full list of interviews Mencken gave during his lifetime. Word counts of nearly every item in the bibliography have been supplied, and the book has been thoroughly indexed by name, title, and periodical. Because every item has been annotated, scholars and students can, for the first time, gain an idea of the subject-matter of all Mencken's writings, especially his magazine and newspaper work. The indexes will allow users to locate any given item with ease. The chronological arrangement of each section allows users to understand the growth and development of Mencken's work, making this volume an invaluable resource.

H.L. Mencken: An Annotated Bibliography Review

A handsome, classified, annotated bibliography devoted to one of America's most prominent journalists and literary critics of the 20th century.

Joshi provides a brief, but thorough introduction, and then proceeds to pick up where the scholarly works of Betty Adler's "H.L.M.: The Mencken Bibliography (Johns Hopkins UP, 1961) [and supplements] and Richard J. Schrader's "H.L. Mencken: A Bibliography" (U of Pittsburgh P, 1999) left off.

Intended to "provide substantive information on Menchen's magazine and newspaper work," Section A is devoted to "Books and Pamphlets" ["information on the original appearances of the materials in Mencken's books"] ; Section B to "Works Edited or Translated" by Mencken, including, Books, Magazines, Newspapers and Articles; Section C to "Original Contributions to Books"; Section D to "Original Contributions to Magazines" [including his book review columns]; and, Section F to "Interviews". The main text is followed by four appendices and a thorough, classified index (a name index, "Titles by Mencken" index and "Periodicals."

Sunand Tryambak Joshi, spent his early years focused on the life and writings of H. P. Lovecraft, earning his bachelor's and master's degrees at Brown University where he delved into their library's extensive holdings of Lovecraft's manuscripts. That interest led to doctoral work at Princeton and his subsequent career as a distinguished bibliographer and author devoted to Lovecraft's life and works. In recent years, Joshi has turned his attention to Ambrose Bierce, George Sterling, and "the California literary circle," and it was in the tracing of connections between these writers that led to his writings on Mencken, which -- in addition to the present text -- now include: "H. L. Mencken on American Literature" (Ohio UP, 2002), "H. L. Mencken on Religion" (Prometheus Books, 2002), and "Mencken's America" (Ohio UP, 2004).

Highly recommended for college and university library collections and faculty/students interested in writing a thesis, dissertation or article related to 20th century American journalism.
