Pages : 318
Book Description
A significant contribution to our understanding of the role of media in the shaping of our age! International radio has been a very in the significant instrument in the evolution of media and as an instrument of foreign policy for many nations. It has also undergone major transformations over the past 50 or more years. Every major political power, many countries around the world, and many other quasi-national bodies and organisations, such as the Vatican, have used international radio to get their messages disseminated internationally. THE AGE OF INTERNATIONAL RADIO examines the many players, organisations and national agencies which have been active in the arena of international radio. The volume unravels the many transformations and evolutions of international radio and focuses on Radio Canada International, RCI, which has been one of the prime players in the field. The intent of the volume, as the author states, is "...through a discussion of successive comparative and internal program evaluations, to reveal, if not a full picture, a least a reasonable glimpse of the output of RCI and several international broadcast organizations during the last two decades."

Kingston

Category : Kingston (Ont.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Kingston is unique among cities of Canada because it has not been allowed to build on its past, although many would have, if they had the chance. Explosive urban growth and industrialization did not occur, and, as a result, did not lead to the physical destruction of the nineteenth- century heritage buildings that make the town so livable today. Kingston has not lost its scale, ambiance, and visual appeal because it has not become a metropolis. This book is local history at its best, fully engaged in the drama of the past, based on impeccable scholarship, but never shy to advance an opinion that challenges accepted views. Written by a provocative historian and a keen-eyed geographer, this new edition digs deeper into Kingston's ethnic and socioeconomic communities, providing heritage preservationists with fresh arguments that coincide with current new urbanist and creative community concepts. Canada's "Limestone City" has witnessed a tumultuous yet illustrious 350-year history: the French occupation of Cataraqui by Frontenac and LaSalle, the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists, the construction of British shipyards, the fortification of Fort Henry, the founding of Kingston Penitentiary and Queen's University, and the choice of the city as capital of the Province of Canada, all happened before Confederation. Nor has the town been without lively characters, including Mohawk matriarch Molly Brant, our first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, and the Dollar Bill, the pirate of the 1000 Islands. By a twist of fate, this heritage has been preserved, symbolized in the limestone structures that grace the city. The challenge today is to preserve this heritage for future generations. Fully revised and up-dated, with thirty new photographs, a new edition of this best-selling book has been long awaited. "If we are to build upon the past with any
