Membaca buku ini, kita diajak untuk memahami tarik-tolak dan saling-pengaruh antara unsur-unsur kekuatan lokal dan tekanan global yang ikut bermain dan membentuk praktik budaya, gaya hidup, dan kesadaran kita khususnya generasi muda di tengah arus deras komodifikasi budaya dan media yang menjadi bagian penting dari denyut dan irama kehidupan kita sehari-hari "Komunikasi dan Komodifikasi, sebuah buku baru yang penting karya Idi Subandy Ibrahim dan Bachruddin Ali Akhmad, menggali ketidaksetaraan menyeluruh dari sistem global, suatu sistem yang di dalamnya bangsa-bangsa pasca-kolonial seperti Indonesia merupakan sasaran eksploitasu ekonomi dan pesan-pesan hegemonik mengenai gender dan masyarakat dari para konglomerat internasional dan bangsa-bangsa asing yang kuat. Mereka mengungkap mekanisme yang mengancam mengenai propoganda media dan ekspansi kepitalis global (bersama dengan agensi terbatas dari konsumen dan kemungkinan bentu-bentuk media alternatif).

A Snowball In Hell

If society has the B-list celebrities it deserves, it now has a killer to match. Except that Simon Darcourt is a great deal more successful in his career choice than the average talent show contestant. He's also got the media taped - by the simple expedient of by-passing them completely and posting real-time coverage of his killings on the internet. He's got viewing figures to make the world's TV executives gasp in envy, and he's pulling the voyeuristic strings of every viewer by getting them to 'vote' to keep his captives alive. Angelique De Xavier, his previous nemesis, is drafted onto the police team trying to bring this one-man celebrity hate-fest to an end. But she can't do it alone, she needs the magical skills of her lover, only she doesn't know where Zal is and meanwhile a whole load of celebs are, literarly, dying to be famous. An intelligent satire, a thriller with exhilarating pace - Christopher Brookmyre at his best.

Snowball Earth

The Story of the Global Catastrophe That Spawned Life As We Know It

Did the Earth once undergo a super ice age, one that froze the entire planet? A global adventure story and a fascinating account of scientist Paul Hoffman's quest to prove his maverick 'Snowball Earth' theory, this is science writing at its most gripping. In SNOWBALL EARTH, Gabrielle Walker takes us on a thrilling natural history expedition in search of supporting evidence for the audacious theory which argues that the Earth experienced a climatic cataclysm 600 million years ago that froze the entire planet from the poles to the equator. Because the global snowball happened so long ago the ice has now long gone - but it left its traces in rocks around the world and in order to see the evidence, Walker visited such places as Australia, Namibia, South Africa and Death Valley, USA. Part adventure story and part travel book, it's a tale of the ultimate human endeavour to understand our origins.
