"Examine la production et la distribution de matériel culturel et multimédia en Afrique francophone subsaharienne et l'impact des nouvelles technologies sur les réseaux de communication." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 378)
"This book brings together experts in economics, sociology, anthropology, the humanities, and communications to explore what effects the North American Free Trade Agreement will have on the flow of cultural products among Mexico, the United States, and Canada. After an overview of free trade and the

cultural industries, the book covers the following topics: dominance and resistance, cultural trade and identity in relation to Mexico and to French Canada, and intellectual property rights. Based on present trends, the contributors predict that there will be a steadily increasing flow of cultural products from the United States to its neighbors. This book grew out of a 1994 conference that brought together leaders of the cultural industries, policy makers, and scholars. It represents state-of-the-art thinking about the global influence of U.S. cultural industries." (Publisher description)

ising, and printing. The book jacket describes Weiner as a "public relations consultant who is renowned for his introduction of the Cabbage Patch Kids." Although targeting a different audience with his dictionary, Weiner's humor and originality are still evident. A dingbat, for example, is "a typographic decoration. No kidding. That's what they're called, except when they're called flubdub." Frisky furniture is "Wall Street Journal Jargon for a dull article that was made a bit more sprightly with anecdotes and pithy quotations." Weiner writes that "the basic premise of this book is that each definition is written so that you can understand it even if you are not a professional working in the field. I tried not to be pedantic or esoteric." He succeeds in this; definitions are straightforward, frequently humorous, and vivid in detail. His editorial advisory board includes organizations such as the American Institute of Graphic Arts, American Society of Newspaper Editors, National Association of Broadcasters, and the Videotex Industry Association, to name a few."

vision. Comparing the recent past with the present–and the immediate future–this groundbreaking work examines aesthetic values as they are shaped by gender, race, and class issues. Since video looks at how television (mis)represents culture, Transmission examines the effects of communication tools and technologies on its participating constituents." (Publisher description)
