  The Spiderweb

  Roth Joseph

  The Austrian writer Joseph Roth's first novel, 'Das Spinnennetz', 1923, intensely chronicles the development of a fascist and the first steps in his rise to power. It is a vivid portrait of the nationalist fervor and the struggle between Right and Left in Germany during the years immediately following the end of the Great War, or First World War. Two days after its serial publication in the Vienna Arbeiterzeitung ('The Worker'), Adolf Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff set in motion the Munich 'Beer Hall Putsch'. 'The Spiderweb' - here translated by the narrator - is a prophetic look into the political machinery that was to force its author into exile in France ten years later, where he died in 1939 at the age of 45.

  This critical history of Doctor Who covers the series 60 years, from the creation of the show to its triumph as Britain's number one TV drama.
  
  Opening with an in-depth account of the creation of the series within the BBC of the early 1960s, each decade of the show is tackled through a unique political and pop cultural historical viewpoint, exploring the links between contemporary Britain and the stories Doctor Who told, and how such links kept the show popular with a mass television audience.
  
  Timeless Adventures reveals how Doctor Who is at its strongest when it reflects the political and cultural concerns of a mass British audience (the 1960s, 1970s and 21st Century), and at its weakest when catering to a narrow fan-based audience (as in the 1980s). The book also addresses the cancellation of the show in the late 1980s (following the series becoming increasing self-obsessed) and the ways in which a narrowly-focused dedicated fandom contributed to the show's demise and yet was also instrumental in its regeneration for the 21st Century under Russell T. Davies, and analyses the new series to reveal what has made it so popular, reflecting real world issues like consumerism and dieting.

  The Chronicles of StorySelling

  In the world of business and marketing, stories have power. They have the power to capture attention, to resonate, to move people to action, to shape perceptions and to drive loyalty. Business leaders and marketers are increasingly recognizing the val-ue of Storyselling as a powerful strategic tool. As Peter Guber, a noted film producer and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, said, “Stories have a unique power to move people’s hearts, minds, feet and wallets in the storyteller’s intended direction.”  
  Consider the case of Apple Inc. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in the late 1990s, he faced a company on the brink of bankruptcy. To resurrect the brand, he used Storyselling to reframe the company’s image, recasting Apple as a rebellious upstart challenging an industry titan, Microsoft. He told con-sumers, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers!” This narrative of thinking differently resonat-ed with consumers and helped turn Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world.  
  Indeed, research backs the power of Storyselling. According to a study published in the Journal of Marketing in 2020, nar-ratives are proven to be more persuasive than facts alone. The study demonstrated that when participants were presented with a story, they were more likely to be persuaded by the content, even when the facts were identical to those presented without a story.
