Chicago's famed Field Museum of Natural History is home to a collection of thirty million geological and biological specimens that enchant and dazzle two million visitors of all ages each year. Based on a true story, Rosie the Tarantula: A True Adventure in Chicago's Field Museum is a beautifully illustrated introduction to the Field's treasures through the eyes of Rosie, a member of the museum's live arachnid collection.

Several years ago, Rosie went on an expedition to the wonders of the Field's soaring halls, such as Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as the secret specimens of...

The emergence of what are called new media and social media is one of the most discussed topics in contemporary societies. Because media and public communication are mostly analyzed within particular theoretical frameworks and within specific disciplinary fields, polarized views have been created with cyberoptimists and celebrants on one side and cyberpessimists and skeptics on the other. Thus we lack an understanding of the interdependencies and convergence between disciplines and practices.
The second edition of this book expertly synthesizes competing theories and disciplinary...

Reasonably enough the idiom is extremely troublesome to the child-mind. -The doctor says my mother has one foot in the grave,- wrote a little girl the other day in a Composition Exercise. -That is not true. She has both feet in bed - Again, if people will talk about -going it bald-headed,- or about being -stony-hearted- or -iron-fisted- or -brazen-faced,- and so on, they must naturally expect young children to accept the phraseology in its literal sense. Hence amusing misconceptions. Again, as I say, it is often a question of not having quite got the right word.

The interrelationship between journalism and public relations (PR) is one of the most contentious in the field of media studies. Numerous studies have shown that 50 80 per cent of the content of mass media is significantly shaped by PR. But many editors, journalists, and PR practitioners engage in a discourse of denial, maintaining what critics call the dirty secret of journalism and PR. Media practitioners also engage in an accusatory discourse of spin and a discourse of victimhood . On the other hand, PR practitioners say they help provide a voice for organizations, including those ignored...

Organizations, which are central in contemporary industrialized and post-industrial societies, including government departments and agencies, corporations, and non-government organizations, claim to want and practice two-way communication, dialogue, and engagement with citizens, customers, employees, and other stakeholders and publics. But do they in reality? Voice speaking up is recognized as fundamental for democracy, representation, and social equity. But what if governments, corporations, institutions, and NGOs are not listening? This book reports the findings of a two-year,...

This incisive analysis presents evidence of deeper and broader corruption of the public sphere, which the author refers to as post-communication. With extensive evidence, Macnamara argues that we are all responsible for the slide towards a post-truth society.

This is the first book to explore how to use permaculture design and principles for people - to restore personal, social and planetary well-being.

People & Permaculture widens the definition of permaculture from being mainly about land-based systems to include our own lives, relationships and society. This book provides a framework to help each of us improve our ability to care for ourselves, our friends, families and for the Earth. It is also a clear guide for those who may be new to permaculture, who may not even have a garden, but who wish to be involved in making...

As well as addressing our internal landscapes, Looby explains how individuals and communities can work together to achieve positive change. She also explores the current...

The author addresses the different stages in the process of developing an entire antenna layout, as well as covering individual retrofits on existing platforms. She explains the physics of antenna placement qualitatively, thus obviating...

When it comes to color, nothing can surpass the vast palette found in nature, from a bright green leaf in a sun-dappled forest to the rich red feathers of a cardinal and the muted greens, ambers, and browns that make up the shell of a tortoise. Wildlife artist Peggy Macnamara has been recreating the natural world through her drawings and paintings for decades, and, with Nature's Portraits, she invites the rest of the world to join her.

Nature's Portraits offers sixty of Macnamara's detailed drawings that can be brought brilliantly to life with nothing more than a few...

Baffling and beloved, with the capacity to go from joy to frustration in seconds, young children are some of the most misunderstood people on the planet. Parents and caregivers struggle with these little ones, who are known for their extreme behaviour, from tantrums,...
