Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Ten Years After: A Reminder," Philip Gibbs captures the lingering echoes of the First World War, intertwining personal narratives with historical reflection. Written with a blend of poignant prose and lyrical depth, the work serves as both a memoir and a commentary on the complexities of post-war society. Gibbs employs a rich tapestry of imagery and anecdotal evidence, underscoring the psychological scars and societal shifts wrought by the conflict. The text navigates the themes of memory, loss, and the dichotomy of hope and despair, encapsulating the zeitgeist of the 1920s as the world grappled with the consequences of a brutal past. Philip Gibbs was a prominent British journalist and novelist, whose first-hand experiences and wartime reporting significantly shaped his perspective. His intimate knowledge of the trenches and the human cost of war armed him with a unique lens to explore the intricacies of recovery and remembrance. Gibbs' own journey through the devastation led him to write this reflective piece, striving to illuminate the realities faced by a generation scarred by conflict while contributing to the literary discourse surrounding war narratives. This compelling book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical narratives, the psychological impact of war, and the evolution of society after trauma. "Ten Years After" not only serves as an important reminder of a pivotal moment in history but also resonates with contemporary themes of resilience and the quest for understanding amidst chaos.

The Emergence of I - How the...

John H. Payne

The universe wakes up through you. 
We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
And it has been waiting for you to wake up.

How Media Ownership Matters

Rodney Benson, Julie Sedel,...

Does it matter who owns and funds the media? As journalists and management consultants set off in search of new business models, there's a pressing need to understand anew the economic underpinnings of journalism and its role in democratic societies. 
 
 
 
How Media Ownership Matters provides a fresh approach to understanding news media power, moving beyond the typical emphasis on market concentration or media moguls. Through a comparative analysis of the US, Sweden, and France, as well as interviews of news executives and editors and an original collection of industry data, this book maps and analyzes four ownership models: market, private, civil society, and public. Highlighting the effects of organizational logics, funding, and target audiences on the content of news, the authors identify both the strengths and weaknesses various forms of ownership have in facilitating journalism that meets the democratic ideals of reasoned, critical, and inclusive public debate. Ultimately, How Media Ownership Matters provides a roadmap to understanding how variable forms of ownership are shaping the future of journalism and democracy.
