Sinopsis

"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of women in film, television, and news media, examining whether these portrayals reflect evolving roles or perpetuate outdated gender stereotypes.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.

DR SHAWN PRICE

The progress of the human race has been haphazard and inefficient with too much left to chance. We have been wasteful with our time, resources, and human effort. We have suffered unnecessarily with pointless wars and with billions still in poverty today. And now, our very existence is threatened by multiple Global Catastrophic Risks – from climate change and nuclear war, to AI and pandemics. But the global ‘order’ of today shows no chance of being able to solve and effectively coordinate the global responses so critically required to ensure the future of humanity. This is not good enough. It is far too soon for us to end. Our future, our potential as a species – we must protect and realise it.
This book explores what the human race could achieve with true global cooperation.
In this book are the Blueprints for the New World – with the global systems and institutions of the world re-engineered and re-designed to solve the global problems of today. To create the most prosperous Future of the Human Race. It explores the benefits of achieving global demilitarisation, a true global economy centred around Value creation and not consumerism, a new global currency and global language. The ability to effectively respond to global emergencies and threats, accelerating scientific progress through restructuring academia, global infrastructure projects such as a global electricity grid. True global justice crippling evil across the entire world. Reforming the global education system. Long term planning for the benefit of the entire human race. A global space agency to establish our foothold in space as fast as possible. And more.
No more should humanity blindly stumble forward into the future. It is time we finally took a firm hold of and controlled the destiny of the human race.
“The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.”

The Art of the Impossible - How...

Andrew Reid, Simon Carr

"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.

The Demon in the Machine - How...

Paul Davies

What is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question, for life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. Huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. 
 
 
 
In this penetrating and wide-ranging book, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name; it is a domain where biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity which has the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and force us to fundamentally reconsider what it means to be alive—even illuminating the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. 
 
 
 
The Demon in the Machine journeys across an astounding landscape of cutting-edge science. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window onto the secret of life itself.
