The Media in Your Life An Introduction to Mass Communication Fourth Edition By Folkerts, Jean; Lacy, Stephen; Larabee, Ann Product Details The Media in Your Life explores the social, historical, economic, and technological implications of the media in our culture and how to use the media effectively in our lives. Written by three highly regarded scholars and teachers, this text helps students develop a system-wide view of the interacting social, historical, economic, and technological forces at work in today's rapidly evolving mass media. Too often, mass communication texts rely only on popular publications or on academic research. Folkerts, Lacy, and Larabee believe that all forms of scholarship provide insight into mass communication. In this text, they have combined the concrete practice of journalism with empirical research, enabling students to comprehend the impact of the dynamic media that are an integral part of our lives today. The Media in Your Life guides students through today's whirlwind of mass communication by providing the information and critical thinking skills necessary to consider objectively the media and its roles in their lives. Students are challenged to look at their own use of the media and to observe patterns they see in media industries, personalities, structures, and market trends in order to become more informed media consumers.

Alfons Graf (Ed.) and 61 co-authors: The New Automotive 42V Power Net. Preparing for Mass Production. Expert-Verlag - 2nd ed. 2002
ISBN:3816919928

Restauflage - verlagsneu Kartoniert, 280 S., 252 ill., 12 tab. --- A number of international auto makers have set themselves the target of getting an automobile with a dual 12V/42V PowerNet into mass production by the year 2005. Reports on practical experience of current projects at leading international auto makers and suppliers allow the reader to get a picture of the status of introduction of the 42V PowerNet and of the problems associated with translating development work into mass production, providing them with an idea of the opportunities for structuring their own company or organizing company activities.The book gives an overview of the problems of introducing the 42V PowerNet into automotive engineering. The basic question here ist not "Why 42V?" but rather "How can a 42V system be introduced into mass production alongside an existing 12V system?". It provides information from the standpoint of the engineer and the businessman on: The problems of introduction as seen by the auto maker - Proposed solutions to detailed problems such as short circuits and sparking - System reviews, such as Intelligent Power Management - Suggestions for individual components, such as individual semiconductors - Suggested solutions involving new materials - Solution variants and verification by simulation.
