The Modern Invention of Information: Discourse, History, and Power

Southern Illinois University Press, 2001

If we look in the Oxford English Dictionary under the term “information,” we will be struck by the impression that its use as a substantive, as a synonym for fact or for knowledge, is relatively new. Until very recently, “information” had the sense of imparting knowledge (in the sense of telling someone something) or of...

Movies Made for Television: 1964-2004 (5 Volume Set)

Scarecrow Press, 2005

Movies Made for Television in 2004 celebrates 40 full television seasons. As I wrote in the introduction in 1980 to the original (single) volume that chronicled the genre, the range was as esthetically and technically wide at the time as it would remain through the years since as any theatrical offerings – within its restricted...

Historical Dictionary of Terrorism (Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies and Movements)

The Scarecrow Press, Inc, 2009

Terrorism has consistently dogged this supposedly modern and enlightened age. It has merely adopted new shapes and forms in keeping with the times. The causes have also evolved over the years, as old problems are solved and new ones created. Moreover, it has gone high-tech, like everything else. Thus, as this book convincingly shows, terrorism will...

No Country for Old Men: From Novel to Film

The Scarecrow Press, Inc, 2009

I twice viewed No Country for Old Men in the theater, and on both occasions after the final image of Tommy Lee Jones had cut to black, there were audible exclamations from the patrons around me: “That’s it?” “What happened?” This twelfth film by Joel and Ethan Coen evoked the same response that the...
