Nine choices : Johnny Cash and American culture / by Silverman, Jonathan,1965-;

Includes bibliographical references and index.This work is a cultural biography of a self-made American icon. For much of his career, Johnny Cash opened his shows with the tagline, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." This introduction seemed unnecessary, since everyone in the audience knew who he was, the famous musical artist whose career spanned almost five decades, whose troubled life on and off the stage received wide publicity, and whose cragged face seemed to express a depth and intensity not found in any other artist, living or dead. For Cash, as for many celebrities, renown was the product of both hard work and luck. Often a visionary and always a tireless performer, he was subject to a whirlwind of social, economic, and cultural countercurrents. This book explores the tension between Cash's desire for mainstream success, his personal struggles with alcohol and drugs, and an ever changing cultural landscape that often circumscribed his options. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and textual analysis, the author focuses on Cash's personal and artistic choices as a way of understanding his life, his impact on American culture, and the ways in which that culture in turn shaped him. Cash made decisions about where he would live, what he would play, who would produce his albums, whether he would support the Vietnam War, and even if he would flip his famous "bird", the iconic image of Cash giving the finger which is now plastered on posters and T-shirts everywhere, in the context of cultural forces both visible and opaque. He made other decisions in consultation with a variety of people, many of whom were chiefly concerned with the reaction of his audiences. Less a conventional biography than a study of the making of an identity, the book explores how Johnny Cash sought to define who he was, how he was perceived, and what he signified through a series of self-conscious actions. The result, the author shows, was a life that was often tumultuous but never uninteresting.Introduction -- Cash chooses Memphis -- Cash chooses Columbia -- Cash chooses prison -- Cash chooses June Carter -- Cash chooses (not to choose) Vietnam -- Cash chooses television -- Cash chooses his faith -- Cash chooses Rick Rubin -- Cash chooses Sotheby's.

24/7 Politics : Cable Television and the Fragmenting of America from Watergate to Fox News. by Brownell, Kathryn Cramer.;

Cover -- Table of Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: The Great Hidden Political Asset -- Act I. A Political Awakening -- 1. The Power of Broadcasting -- 2. A Business Rivalry Forms -- 3. Distinguishing Cable Television -- 4. Revenge Politics -- Act II. Coming of Age -- 5. The Watergate Hangover -- 6. Exploding the Cable Dial -- 7. Visions '79 -- 8.

The MTV Presidency -- Conclusion: Democracy in Cable America -- Notes -- Index.As television began to overtake the political landscape in the 1960s, network broadcast companies, bolstered by powerful lobbying interests, dominated screens across the nation. Yet over the next three decades, the expansion of a different technology, cable, changed all of this. 24/7 Politics tells the story of how the cable industry worked with political leaders to create an entirely new approach to television, one that tethered politics to profits and divided and distracted Americans by feeding their appetite for entertainment―frequently at the expense of fostering responsible citizenship.In this timely and provocative book, Kathryn Cramer Brownell argues that cable television itself is not to blame for today’s rampant polarization and scandal politics―the intentional restructuring of television as a political institution is. She describes how cable innovations―from C-SPAN coverage of congressional debates in the 1980s to MTV’s foray into presidential politics in the 1990s―took on network broadcasting using market forces, giving rise to a more decentralized media world. Brownell shows how cable became an unstoppable medium for political communication that prioritized cult followings and loyalty to individual brands, fundamentally reshaped party politics, and, in the process, sowed the seeds of democratic upheaval.24/7 Politics reveals how cable TV created new possibilities for antiestablishment voices and opened a pathway to political prominence for seemingly unlikely figures like Donald Trump by playing to narrow audiences and cultivating division instead of common ground. -- provided by Amazon.com.Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources.Electronic reproduction.

Lit up : one reporter, three schools, twenty-four books that can change lives / by Denby, David,1943-;

"It's no secret that millions of American teenagers, caught up in social media, television, movies, and games, don't read seriously-they associate sustained reading with duty or work, not with pleasure. This indifference has become a grievous loss to our standing as a great nation--and a personal loss, too, for millions of teenagers who may turn into adults with limited understanding of themselves and the world. Can teenagers be turned on to serious reading? What kind of teachers can do it, and what books? To find out, Denby sat in on a tenth-grade English class in a demanding New York public school for an entire academic year, and made frequent visits to a troubled inner-city public school in New Haven and to a respected public school in Westchester County. He read all the stories, poems, plays, and novels that the kids were reading, and creates an impassioned portrait of charismatic teachers at work, classroom dramas large and small, and fresh and inspiring encounters with the books themselves, including The Scarlet Letter, Brave New World, 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five, Notes From Underground, Long Way Gone and many more. Lit Up is a dramatic narrative that traces awkward and baffled beginnings but also exciting breakthroughs and the emergence of pleasure in reading. In a sea of bad news about education and the fate of the book, Denby reaffirms the power of great teachers and the importance and inspiration of great books"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Beacon, September : the first days of English 10G -- Beacon, October : Faulkner and Hawthorne -- Beacon, October : Sylvia Plath and confessions -- Beacon, November : nuts matter, and bolts, too -- Beacon, November : Huxley -- Beacon, December & January : Orwell -- Mamaroneck, all year : personal choice -- Beacon, January : satire -- Beacon, February : Coelho and Hesse -- Thoughts at winter break -- Beacon, February : Vonnegut -- Beacon, March : Viktor E.

The doctor who wasn't there : technology, history, and the limits of telehealth / by Greene, Jeremy A.,1974-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."The Doctor who wasn't there traces the long arc of enthusiasm for-and skepticism of-electronic media for health and medicine, showing that the same challenges now facing telehealth and the use of electronic medical records can be found in the medical reception of the telephone in the late nineteenth century and the radio, television, and mainframe computer across the twentieth. Wielding a rich trove of archival materials, physician/historian Jeremy Greene explores the role that new electronic media play, for better and for worse, in the past, present, and future of American health. Today's telehealth devices are far more sophisticated than the hook-and-ringer telephones that became widespread by the 1920s, the FM radio technologies used to broadcast health information in the 1940s, the televisions used to pioneer telemedical evaluation in the 1950s, or the first full-scale attempts to establish electronic medical records in the mid-1960s. But the ethical, economic, and logistical concerns they raise are prefigured in these earlier episodes, as are the gaps between what was promised and what was delivered. Each of these platforms produced subtle transformations in health and healthcare that we have learned to forget, displaced by promises of ever newer communications platforms to take their place. When is telemedicine good enough, and when is it not? And how do the uses of telemedical technologies shape patient relationships with health care providers? Who benefits and who suffers when new technologies are adopted? And what do these communication technologies, whose promised revolutions have all failed, bring to our understanding of health and disease?"--

Saving lives : why the media's portrayal of nursing puts us all at risk / by Summers, Sandy.; Summers, Harry,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."For millions of people worldwide, nurses are the difference between life and death, self-sufficiency and dependency, hope and despair. But a lack of understanding of what nurses really do -- one perpetuated by popular media's portrayal of nurses as simplistic archetypes -- has devalued the profession and contributed to a global shortage that constitutes a public health crisis. Today, the thin ranks of the nursing workforce contribute to countless preventable deaths. This fully updated and expanded edition of Saving Lives highlights the essential roles nurses play in contemporary health care and how this role is marginalized by contemporary culture. Through engaging prose and examples drawn from television, advertising, and news coverage, the authors detail the media's role in reinforcing stereotypes that fuel the nursing shortage and devalue a highly educated sector of the contemporary workforce. Perhaps most important, the authors provide a wealth of ideas to help reinvigorate the nursing field and correct this imbalance. As American health care undergoes its greatest overhaul in decades, the practical role of nurses -- that as autonomous, highly skilled practitioners -- has never been more important. Accordingly, Saving Lives addresses both the sources of, and prescription for, misperceptions surrounding contemporary nursing"--Foreword by Echo Heron -- Introduction -- Part one: Dangerous ignorance: Why our understanding of nursing matters -- Chapter 1: Who are nurses and where have they gone? -- Chapter 2: How nursing's image affects your health -- Part two: The great divide: the media versus real nursing -- Chapter 3: Could monkeys Be nurses? -- Chapter 4: Yes, doctor!

Something wonderful : Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway revolution / by Purdum, Todd S.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-352) and index.Prologue: All they cared about was the show -- The sentimentalist -- A quality of yearning -- Away we go -- Bustin' out -- So far -- Enchanted evening -- Parallel wives -- Catastrophic success -- Beyond Broadway -- Auf wiedersehen -- Walking alone -- Epilogue: Bloom and grow forever."A revelatory portrait of the creative partnership that transformed musical theater and provided the soundtrack to the American Century They stand at the apex of the great age of songwriting, the creators of the classic Broadway musicals Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music, whose songs have never lost their popularity or emotional power. Even before they joined forces, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II had written dozens of Broadway shows, but together they pioneered a new art form: the serious musical play. Their songs and dance numbers served to advance the drama and reveal character, a sharp break from the past and the template on which all future musicals would be built. Though different in personality and often emotionally distant from each other, Rodgers and Hammerstein presented an unbroken front to the world and forged much more than a songwriting team; their partnership was also one of the most profitable and powerful entertainment businesses of their era. They were cultural powerhouses whose work came to define postwar America on stage, screen, television, and radio. But they also had their failures and flops, and more than once they feared they had lost their touch. Todd S. Purdum's portrait of these two men, their creative process, and their groundbreaking innovations will captivate lovers of musical theater, lovers of the classic American songbook, and lovers in general. He shows that what Rodgers and Hammerstein wrought was truly something wonderful" --

From the first newspaper advertisement in colonial times to today's online viral advertising, the text explores how advertising grew in America, how products and brands were produced and promoted, and how advertisements and agencies reflect and introduce cultural trends and issues. In the second edition, there is now a strong focus on the part played by women in modern advertising, both as consumers and workers in the industry. Discussions have been expanded to include sexuality in advertising, new media, global advertising, and controversial issues. The author has written a new chapter on the last ten years of advertising, what has been called the "Lost Decade," and covers the economics of advertising, the new digital interactive media, and global/international advertising.

Born in China, the Joy Luck Club members came to America as young adults; their daughters are 100% American. The old days are seldom spoken about, and some things about those times have never been said aloud, but the experiences left behind color the hopes and expectations these women have for their daughters.
