Franchise Era
As Hollywood shifts towards the digital era, the role of the media franchise has become more prominent. This edited collection, from a range of international scholars, argues that the franchise is now an integral element of American media culture. As such, the collection explores the production, distribution and marketing of franchises as a historical form of media-making - analysing the complex industrial practice of managing franchises across interconnected online platforms. Examining how traditional media incumbents like studios and networks have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector (such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google), the authors take a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape.
Rome and the Classic Maya
This volume compares two of the most famous cases of civilizational collapse, that of the Roman Empire and the Classic Maya world. First examining the concept of collapse, and how it has been utilized in the historical, archaeological and anthropological study of past complex societies, Storey and Storey draw on extensive archaeological evidence to consider the ultimate failure of the institutions, infrastructure and material culture of both of these complex cultures. Detailing the relevant economic, political, social and environmental factors behind these notable falls, Rome and the Classic Maya contends that a phenomenon of “slow collapse” has repeatedly occurred in the course of human history: complex civilizations are shown to eventually come to an end and give way to new cultures. Through their analysis of these two ancient case studies, the authors also present intriguing parallels to the modern world and offer potential lessons for the future.

Excerpt from Devotional Commentary on the Gospel Narrative, Vol. 1 of 8 Indistinct surmises of some one rising from the dead, and of that Prophet to be raised up from among their brethren, of whom Moses had spoken, instead of the Voice from Mount Sinai, which they entreated to hear no more. And the words with which the Inspired Writings had closed were remarkable, both from their distinct declaration, and for the very mysterious manner in which alone it could be fulfilled. As the silence of night came on, and the light of prophecy was going down, it spoke of the rising of the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings and yet not so for all men, but for them shall He arise that fear My n...
