Publisher's Summary:

Learn about the idea that everyone has 15 Minutes of Fame with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.

Commenting on the increasingly fleeting nature of celebrity, in 1968 artist Andy Warhol quipped: In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. In a twenty first-century world of reality TV and YouTube, it appears Warhols prediction has come true.

The changing nature of celebrity over time is an interesting backdrop to todays short-lived fame. In the Middle Ages, only the monarchy and high aristocracy could claim to have anything like what we would call fame today. But with the absence of mass communication, most people did not even know what the king looked like. The imprint of his head on coins did not need to bear any likeness to reality because representation of power was seen as more important than any recognition in appearance.

Editorial Reviews:

This survey of celebrity traces the nature of fame throughout the last millennium. In the middle ages only monarchs and top-level aristocrats were capable of achieving wide renown - a far cry from contemporary celebrity, which has found a springboard in new media formats such as Youtube and reality television, and has seemingly fulfilled Andy Warhol's well-known prediction that, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes". As the voice behind BBC's Inside Out - East, documentarian David Whiteley knows a thing or two about mass appeal himself. Here, Whiteley's spry baritone is fluid and direct, while nevertheless betraying a hint of playfulness as he examines the fickle beast that is fame.

Critic Reviews:

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about Culture Jamming with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.It is increasingly in the media, but what exactly is culture jamming and how does it work?

Culture jamming is a form of protest in which advertisements and other media messages are re-arranged or parodied in humorous or disturbing ways. The term covers a range of practices, including sabotaging billboards, spoofing well-known ads, and hoaxing the mainstream media.

The purpose of culture jamming is to expose the reality behind corporate spin and to reclaim the media and public spaces from the influence of powerful corporations. Just as radio jammers interrupt broadcasts with their own messages, culture jammers disrupt the everyday flow of the mainstream media by proposing alternative meanings.

The term culture jamming was first coined in the mid-1980s by members of Negativland: an experimental band from San Francisco.

Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-07

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

Since the Stone Age, drugs have been sniffed to induce sleep, mixed to cure ills, swallowed to stimulate creativity, snorted to increase sexuality, popped for the hell of it and smoked to see God. Natural or synthesized, they have been smuggled for all kinds of reasons, from saving the world to becoming stinking rich. Blamed for deaths, wars, suicides, collapses of governments, multiple crashes, individual crises, anarchy and chaos, they have also been praised for opening minds and expanding consciousness. They've been worshipped and demonised, venerated and chastised, force-fed and forbidden. Every society has had its intoxicant, be it sacrament or scourge. They have also become irreversibly interwoven with politics, sex, business, religion, and rock-and-roll, providing writers, whether emerging from the ancient classical world or the street laboratory of today, with both inspiration and challenge.

Critic Reviews:

"A folk legend...with huge charisma. He sounds like Richard Burton and looks like a Rolling Stone." (Daily Mail)

Members Reviews:

Not Bad... requires knowledge on Drugs

This book is pretty interesting if you are interested in the effects of drugs on the mind and body but not how they actually interact on the body itself. Many of the extracts are from old fashioned lab tests, self scientific exploration and recovered/recovering addicts.

Marx certainly knows his drugs, but if you are looking for an interesting read then get his Mr. Nice book. Very entertaining and gives a deep insight into his life, habits, fortunes, misfortunes and incarceration.

A good book on drugs... 'Murder, Magic and Medicine' by Mann

a great collection of stories

a great collection of stories. unbelievably ready howard marks. sit back, relax and enjoy the soothing welsh accent.

Extremely helpful

This set of 'lectures' are so well set out with precise information and then question and answer sessions to help you revise - perfect! As each section is divided in to small snippets they are also manageable. Great for any one studying psychology at any level. Just a pity I was unable to obtain the written notes that went with the course.

vango notes for psychology, 3/ce

This is a well presented audiobook. The question-answer technique engages the listener encouraging more active participation. This is beneficial because the listener will find less likely the risk of "fading" or loosing concentration during an audio session. Well done.
