Book Description
The histories of baseball and country music ran in parallel tracks through most of the twentieth century. America's sport and America's music moved from the fringes to the mainstream, gaining exposure and building heroes, first via radio broadcasts and then on the television screen. Both evolved with American society through wartime, the Civil Rights movement, and into the age of multimillion dollar superstars. Don Cusic offers an engaging and insightful analysis that addresses race, gender, class, ethnicity, business practices and marketing, performance, media, and the cult of celebrity.

ICT-related Transformations in Latin-American Metropolises
Author: Ana Maria Fernández-Maldonado
Publisher: Techne Press
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"This book makes a contribution to the field of urban ICT studies in cities of the South, by exploring the ICT-related transformations in the Latin American urban scene." "Based on Gabriel Dupuy's notion of the 'urbanism of networks', the research analyses the recent transformations at three levels: the ICT infrastructure networks, the networks of production and consumption of ICTs in the local urban economy, and the diffusion of digital connectivity in everyday life. The results have been useful to spell out the main trends regarding urban functioning and the urban form. The book also presents the situation of digital connectivity in Buenos Aires and Lima, selected as case-studies because singular ICT-related processes are occurring in these two large metropolises."--BOOK JACKET.
