Summary

"Media Portrayals" investigates the representation of women in film, television, and news media, examining whether these portrayals reflect evolving roles or perpetuate outdated gender stereotypes. The book analyzes the frequency, types, and quality of female characters, highlighting the impact of media stereotypes on public perception and societal norms. For instance, the historical underrepresentation of women can affect their self-esteem and career aspirations. This study argues that despite some progress, disparities persist. By combining quantitative data on screen time and character archetypes with qualitative analyses of narratives, "Media Portrayals" explores the complex interplay between media, gender, and society.

 
The book begins by introducing key concepts like representation and media effects, then proceeds with analyses of television, film, and news, factoring in elements like blockbuster trends and streaming platforms. The conclusion synthesizes these findings and proposes strategies for promoting diverse portrayals, acknowledging the implications of emerging media technologies.

    "A revelation" – Nigel Farage
***
Nothing like it had ever been done before. In January 2019, the Brexit Party was just a name. Over a matter of weeks, the party would be launched, stand candidates across seventy seats and become the largest single party in the European Parliament.
Along the way, it fought Establishment quangos, the courts, Parliament, the Speaker and the government – hammering the Conservatives so hard it forced the resignation of their Prime Minister – to win nearly twice as many seats as its nearest rival.
It was a success beyond anyone's dreams (or, indeed, anyone's worst nightmare). And the inside story of how it happened may serve as a manual of how to – and occasionally how not to – do it.
This unique book details the wild ride of the brand-new Brexit Party as it heads from triumph in the European elections to disaster in the general election six months later. Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat's cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks.

    Balance - How It Works and What...

    Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other? 
 
Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole. 
 
Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.
