Summary

Radio Countdown Influence explores how music countdown shows became a powerful force in the music industry. These programs, a staple of broadcast radio history, did more than just entertain; they dictated which artists rose to fame and significantly impacted music sales. Before streaming, radio countdowns offered a curated selection of top hits, creating a shared experience for listeners and serving as a key music marketing tool.

 
The book examines the historical evolution, economic impact, and cultural influence of these countdowns. It reveals how record labels leveraged them to boost sales and how radio stations monetized audience attention. For instance, strategic placement on a countdown could dramatically increase an artist's chart performance and overall popularity.

 
By delving into archival broadcasts, sales charts, and industry accounts, Radio Countdown Influence provides a comprehensive look at how this format shaped popular music and the performing arts. The book begins by tracing the origins and rise of the format, then examines the economic engines behind the shows, and concludes by exploring the lasting cultural legacy.

 
It offers insights into how the principles of countdown programming can still inform contemporary music marketing strategies, making it invaluable for understanding the enduring power of audio media.

    A thought-provoking exploration of how maps shape our understanding of the world 
Cartographer and historian William Rankin argues that it's time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. Maps are not neutral visualizations of facts. They are innately political, defining how the world is divided, what becomes visible and what stays hidden, and whose voices are heard. What matters isn't just the topics or the data, but how maps make arguments about how the world works. And the consequences are enormous. A map's visual argument can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind. Maps don't just show us information—they help construct our world.Brimming with vibrant maps, including many "radical" maps created by Rankin himself and by other cutting-edge mapmakers, Radical Cartography exposes the consequences of how maps represent boundaries, layers, people, projections, color, scale, and time. Challenging the map as a tool of the status quo, Rankin empowers listeners to embrace three unexpected values for the future of cartography: uncertainty, multiplicity, and subjectivity. Changing the tools—changing the maps—can change the questions we ask, the answers we accept, and the world we build.

    Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. 
 
 
 
Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.
