Titans of Capital
A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. Explores how fewer and larger investment companies now manage the excess financial wealth of the world’s 40 million richest people, to the detriment of everyone else and the global environment. In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capita...

Beyond Fact-Checking
Traditional fact-checking is insufficient to detect more subtle forms of news slant. Frame-checking alerts students to recognize--and, if necessary, resist--how news frames influence the interpretation of facts and the formation of judgments about topics presented in the news. Like a pair of "x-ray" glasses, frame-checking helps students see the hidden structure of a news story, thus promoting the use of their critical thinking skills to analyze opposing viewpoints and identify subtle forms of news slant.The authors use the term frame-checking to refer to the critical analysis of the narrative strategies used by news outlets to present news stories. In six in-depth lessons, which explore both visual and discursive news frames, Beyond Fact-Checking empowers readers to critically examine, question, and actively engage with the media in deeper, more meaningful ways.

The Whole Sun Balancing Upon My Knees
"This project examines the challenges and labor practices of independent musicians (indie) — or noncommercial artists — working simultaneously as composers, producers, and marketers of their music. The indie musician must first see themselves as the producer who actualizes the original vision and blends technology and artistry to achieve a balanced and cohesive sound. In his book The Producer as Composer, Virgil Moorefield identifies the music producer as an essential auteur of the musical work, as opposed to a strictly technical role, in which aesthetics, arrangement, and design are expanded upon. The producer’s insight as well as the use of digital audio workstations, songwriting techniques, the revision process, equipment choice, and mixing and mastering are evaluated over the course of recording a 4-song EP (mini-album) in a non-conventional studio space. This thesis summarizes the author’s creation of an original musical work and process in undertaking the roles of songwriter, producer, and marketer."--Abstract
