I Spy: A History and Episode Guide to the Groundbreaking Television Series
ISBN: 9780786427505 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most popular and award-winning television series of the sixties, I Spy was the first weekly broadcast to star both a white and a black actor. In 1964, though, producer Sheldon Leonard had, with heavy risk, financed the show himself, and his idea for a racially incorporated cast had earned his show the moniker "Sheldon's Folley."

Culture, Communication and National Identity: The Case of Canadian Television
ISBN: 9780802027337 / Angielski / Twarda / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'There can be no political sovereignty without culture sovereignty.'
