American Television Abroad: Hollywood's Attempt to Dominate World Television
ISBN: 9780786476169 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Once the major Hollywood studios got over their loathing of television as an entertainment medium, they moved quickly to dominate both domestic and international programming. In the United States, the eight major studios controlled an overwhelming majority of all programming by the early 1950s. Their efforts in foreign markets were not quite so successful, but by the 1990s U.S. distributors controlled about 75 percent of the international television trade.

Piracy in the Motion Picture Industry
ISBN: 9780786414734 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Corings and comodules are fundamental algebraic structures, which can be thought of as both dualisations and generalisations of rings and modules. Introduced by Sweedler in 1975, only recently they have been shown to have far reaching applications ranging from the category theory including differential graded categories through classical and Hopf-type module theory to non-commutative geometry and mathematical physics. This is the first extensive treatment of the theory of corings and their comodules. In the first part, the module-theoretic aspects of coalgebras over commutative rings are...

The Electric Car in America, 1890-1922: A Social History
ISBN: 9781476676715 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The electric vehicle seemed poised in 1900 to be a leader, even the dominant force, in the early American car market. They were clean, odorless, noiseless and they were mechanically simple, compared to their rivals. Yet just two decades later the electric car was dead. This book explores this early history of the electric car.

Foreign Films in America: A History
ISBN: 9780786417643 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Foreign films once enjoyed a position of prominence on American theater screens. By the start of World War I, however, the United States' film industry was strong enough to challenge that foreign presence and foreign films in American have been insignificant ever since. For about a century, the Hollywood cartel has dominated the production, distribution, and exhibition of movies domestically and around the world. This work traces the history of the foreign film in America from its domination in the early days to its low standing in the present, looking at the attempts made by foreign...

This book is about a large number of women who were engaged in individual revolt against an obscenely unfair economic system that discriminated openly and egregiously against women.

Extras of Early Hollywood: A History of the Crowd, 1913-1945
ISBN: 9780786473304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pity the extras. Mostly overlooked and forgotten. Especially those in the major Hollywood films 1913 to 1945--right through the dream factory's golden era. The struggles of extras to unionize were followed by internal struggles as the extras fought for a voice within that union. It is a story about too few jobs for far too many extras, some of whom were lured to Hollywood by what seemed to be rags-to-riches tales of stardom but were likely little more than industry publicity plants. Once lured to the film capital the reality was much different: low pay, little or no work, ripoffs from private...

Drive-In Theaters: A History from Their Inception in 1933
ISBN: 9780786426300 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A primarily American institution (though it appeared in other countries such as Japan and Italy), the drive-in theater now sits on the verge of extinction. During its heyday, drive-ins could be found in communities both large and small. Some of the larger theaters held up to 3,000 cars and were often filled to capacity on weekends. The history of the drive-in from its beginnings in the 1930s through its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s to its gradual demise in modern-day America is thoroughly documented here: the patent battles, community concerns with morality (on-screen and off), technological...

ISBN: 9780786432837 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work offers a detailed history of American actors' attempts to unionize in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Actors' unions of this period faced a staggering amount of struggles, including a heavy industry reliance on the blacklist, severe media attacks on individual actors, and the frequent formation of illegitimate company unions. This work focuses specifically on the two main unions of the time, the White Rats Actors' Union of America and the Actors' Equity Association. The author chronicles the formation of the unions along with their achievements in the following...

ISBN: 9780786440801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The relationship of Hollywood and television, initially turbulent, has ultimately been profitable from the first sally in what was expected to be a war of attrition, up through the soliciting of movies by major networks, independent stations, basic cable networks, premium cable channels, pay-per-view systems and even the corner video store.

Parking Cars in America, 1910-1945: A History
ISBN: 9780786470075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With its decentralized urban areas, pollution, and mostly inadequate public transit systems, today's America pays a heavy price for its auto dependency. This volume explores one of the more pressing aspects of the automobile problem--storage--from 1910 to the end of the World War II, contrasting the reality and perception of car parking as found in the pages of the popular newspapers and magazines of that period. From early bans on street parking to street widening efforts to the introduction of parking lots, garages, and parking meters, it chronicles attempts to accommodate the...

Payola in the Music Industry: A History, 1880-1991
ISBN: 9780786476145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Payola is as old as the music industry and continues today. Contrary to popular belief, the acceptance of payola is legal. (Only the nonreporting of it would be illegal.)
The recipients of payola and the reasons behind it are discussed decade-by-decade. The early bribes to the minstrel groups and vaudeville players are traced, as are modern-day payments to disc jockeys and radio station program directors, where drugs are often given instead of cash. Particular attention is paid to 1959 and 1960 when federal investigators attempted to eradicate the practice.

Women Swindlers in America, 1860-1920
ISBN: 9780786430390 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although female lawbreakers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were rarely considered dangerous criminals, there are many records of women participating in non-violent crimes including shoplifting, prostitution, and fraud. This work studies frauds and swindles perpetrated by women during that era, and offers character studies of several key female swindlers including Ann O?Delia Diss Debar, Mabel Parker, and Sarah Casselman, among others. Frauds covered include spiritually-based crimes (i.e. deceptive s?ances, ?spirit writing?) and love crimes (i.e. matrimonial racketeering), as well...

This work examines age discrimination as it relates to the employment sector in the US throughout the 20th century: how the issue has been treated by the media, the extent of age bias, how older workers were viewed, the reasons and rationales used by employers and responses of governments.

Chewing Gum in America, 1850-1920: The Rise of an Industry
ISBN: 9780786498451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Americans began chewing gum long before 1850, scraping resin from spruce trees, removing any bits of bark or insects and chewing the finished product. Commercially-made gum was of limited availability and came in three types--tree resin, pretroleum-based paraffin and chicle-based--the latter, a natural latex, ultimately eclipsing its rivals by 1920. Once considered a women-only bad habit, chewing gum grew in popularity and was indulged in by all segments of society. The gum industry tried vigorously to export the habit, but it proved uniquely American and would not stick abroad. This book...
