Sinopse

Broadcast Evolution presents a comprehensive exploration of radio broadcasting's journey from a technological novelty to a powerful medium that has shaped culture and technology. The book examines how radio, initially conceived as wireless telegraphy, evolved through innovations like frequency modulation (FM) and digital technologies to become the internet radio and podcasting we know today. Notably, radio's resilience lies in its adaptability and its capacity to fulfill basic human needs, allowing it to persist despite the rise of newer media.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with radio's origins and the establishment of the first broadcasting networks. It then moves through the golden age of radio drama and music, analyzing its cultural impact. Finally, the book addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital age, including internet radio and podcasting. This historical narrative is supported by primary and secondary sources, offering a nuanced account of radio's evolution and its interdisciplinary connections with communications theory and cultural studies.

What sets Broadcast Evolution apart is its focus on the human element behind technological innovation, highlighting the engineers, entrepreneurs, and artists who shaped the radio landscape. This approach brings the history of radio to life, making it accessible to students, researchers, and anyone interested in technology history, media studies, or the cultural impact of radio broadcasting.

John Little

NO RULES. NO PROBLEM. 
 
 
 
Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera? 
 
 
 
For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world. 
 
 
 
From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the "Little Dragon," who may well have been the greatest fighter of the twentieth century.

I Got You Babe - A Celebration...

Annie Zaleski, Cyndi Lauper

Covering her life and sixty-year career from Sonny & Cher to show-stopping solo performer, award-winning actress, fashion icon, and beyond, this is a glorious retrospective of one of the world’s most enduring entertainers, Cher. Featuring a foreword by Cyndi Lauper! Commemorating six decades since her first #1 hit in 1965, I Got You Babe captures Cher’s one-of-a-kind life. Written by award-winning writer and editor Annie Zaleski, this celebration of the fearless, down-to-earth “Goddess of Pop” explores key moments in her life and career in words and photos. Among the topics covered: Her 50-year friendship with fellow diva Tina Turner, which began in 1975 when they performed “Shame, Shame, Shame” together. Her story of creating a “revenge dress” with designer Bob Mackie for the 1986 Oscars after being snubbed for a nomination for her performance in Mask. The night in 1989 she made the Navy wish it could “Turn Back Time” by arriving at the USS Missouri to film her video not wearing the coveralls they expected but a barely-there fishnet bodysuit. Cher’s unfiltered social media presence. From classic posts like “BREAKING NEWS: IM BEING BURIED IN MY FISHNETS” to weighing in on issues she believes in. When Cher learned about Kaavan, dubbed “the world’s loneliest elephant.” The creature was kept in chains in a zoo in Pakistan and forced to perform for decades. After fans brought the problem to her attention, Cher eventually helped get him moved in 2021, and her efforts were captured in a Smithsonian documentary. Amid these moments are photo after photo of some of the most eye-popping outfits ever worn in life and on stage. As an avid clothes horse who wasn’t afraid to wear a see-through dress to the Met Gala in 1974, Cher’s many looks will be given their due in this engaging, career-spanning retrospective.

Caroline, a young girl far older than her years would suggest, Billy, who has an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, and Jacob, whose heart is as big as the moon. We follow their journeys from their childhood to young adulthood with the Orphan Trains, World War I, and Angels Unawares profoundly impacting each of their lives.
