Virtual Radio Ga-Ga, Youths and Net Radio - Andrea Baker - Bog - Hampton Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Virtual Radio Ga-Ga, Youths and Net Radio - Andrea Baker - Bog - Hampton Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Primarily based on a transnational study of college students' net-radio consumption practices, this book uncovers two types of audiences (radio online or net-only radio audiences) and a three tiered net-radio subculture (conservatives, swingers and radicals), which is determined by users' taste distinctions and how much power they have over their net-radio consumption and production practices. The author contends that net-radio, its synergy with radio and music journalism and youth subcultures is not a trivial, flash in the pan, but an important (and ongoing) social-cultural and global phenomenon.

Making Milwaukee Mightier - John Mccarthy - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Making Milwaukee Mightier - John Mccarthy - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Progressive Era city planners are best known for grandiose civic designs, boosterish planning reports, and promoting technical expertise. Traditionally, Milwaukee has not been considered a national standout in these early endeavors; however, the planners in this city are distinctive precisely because they prioritized solving the social problem of overcrowding in lieu of more conventional planning goals. Another unique characteristic of this period is the long tenure of socialist city government. McCarthy offers fresh new insights into socialism''s impact on Milwaukee, studying the planning and growth policies of all three of the city''s socialist mayors and finding striking continuity in the movement''s metropolitan visions. While most of its Midwest counterparts saw their urban boundaries frozen, Milwaukee grew dramatically during this crucial era in American urban history. Its growth, however, drew the ire of increasingly hostile suburban neighbors, resulting in a prolonged conflict between city and suburbs that reached a crescendo in the 1950s, when suburbanization overwhelmed Milwaukee''s capacity to grow. McCarthy concludes his study with thoughtful observation on Milwaukee''s relationship to its suburbs at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Making Milwaukee Mightier amplifies the importance of some historical figures rarely discussed by urban historians, including Charles Whitnall, the city''s most influential planner, and Frank Zeidler, the last socialist mayor in modern U.S. history whose views on urban redevelopment differed greatly from his postwar contemporaries in other cities. McCarthy takes such issues as planning, housing, annexation, and suburbanization—often viewed in isolation from one another—and examines the roles each played in the battle for Milwaukee''s growth. He also situates Milwaukee''s metropolitan history nationally and illuminates the city''s role as a forerunner for some of urban America''s most unique policies. Urban historians, city planners, practitioners, and those interested in the history of Milwaukee will enjoy McCarthy''s highly original work.

Radio Art Zone - - Bog - Hatje Cantz - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the central themes and techniques of artist-made radio, emerging from over 20 years of practice by a multitude of artists in the field. It brings to the page excerpts of long-form radio works from the world’s largest exhibition of radio art, Radio Art Zone, a joint project by the artist duo Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington & Knut Aufermann) and the Luxembourg community station Radio ARA, which was broadcast for 100 days as part of the programme of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Interspersed with newly commissioned works ranging from micro-essays and texts on radio form, practice and poetics, to radio plays and illustrations, it is full of unique images which allow the imagination to expand outward into radio space. Radio Art Zone performs an exquisite transformation from airwaves to paper, providing a treasury of ideas and reflections about radio as art.

Milwaukee Road Remembered - Jim Scribbins - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Milwaukee Road Remembered - Jim Scribbins - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Relive the heyday of the Milwaukee Road in this fond look back The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific was a railroad with a big personality. For a time it offered the world’s fastest steam-powered passenger trains. Extending from Indiana to Puget Sound, it crossed five mountain ranges in Montana, Idaho, and Washington. It was also the first railroad to prove the feasibility of long distance movement of heavy trains by electricity. All-welded freight and passenger cars were pioneered in its shops, and Milwaukee Road mechanical engineers planned the first streamlined steam locomotives intended for sustained 100 mph speeds. In Milwaukee Road Remembered, eminent railway historian Jim Scribbins provides a richly illustrated history of the unique challenges and successes of this storied railroad.

Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milwaukee''s City Hall on East Wells and North Water streets is a landmark. Not only officially, but as part of Milwaukee''s identity, from the city''s flag to the Laverne and Shirley sit-com in the 1970s. The site for this familiar building was not easily chosen. The final location was not the first choice for most of Milwaukee''s movers and shakers, and after it was finally settled upon, the difficulties only became bigger. Battles over designs and the bidding process became politically heated and personal in nature. Cost overruns in the construction, although common at the time, grew to gigantic proportions. The completed building was, however, structurally sound and pleasing to the eye. Still standing 115 years later, it is a monument to the Milwaukee government officials, architect and builder.
