Watercolor illustrations follow the text closely, showing the koala through days and nights, in all kinds of weather, and using an unusual, kangaroolike gait when he flees from a snake. Relatively challenging words such as "hesitates," "sapling," and "leaf litter" are evident from the context of words and pictures, and "marsupial" is explained early on. The koala's trials are real, but they are also brief enough to assuage any reader anxiety. Solid beginners' zoology.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsUsing the format launched by the Read and Wonder series twenty-five years ago, Saxby combines a narrative story of a single koala with explanatory, expository prose that provides information about the species as a whole.&#8212;Horn BookThe watercolor illustrations are dramatic, colorful, and attractive...Youngsters will enjoy learning about the marsupial&#8217;s physical characteristics, child-rearing, mating, and enemies, as well as where they live and what they eat, all within a moving tale filled with adventure. Riveting nonfiction for elementary collections.&#8212;School Library Journal

"This is a landmark study and a compelling account of productive fieldwork across media in the promotional screen industries. Sets a methodological standard for future production studies research. Its careful, interview-based, multi-year ethnography mines theoretical insights from complex creative labor and institutional practices rather than from textual theories. The book effectively underscores the clear value of scholar-practitioner interactions and systematically integrated cultural-industrial analysis. Well-written and astutely reasoned, a must-read for anyone studying the contemporary media industries."
John T. Caldwell, Professor of Film, Television, and Digital Media, UCLA
"This is a truly superb book that throws down a gauntlet to media studies to expand in interesting, vital ways, and that then picks that gauntlet back up and uses it with skill and panache, showing us how to study promotional screen industries. It’s pathbreaking, exciting, and excellent, full of raw information and smart, thoughtful ideas."
Jonathan Gray, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison

"Read as a guide to today’s hybridized marketing, branding and advertising screen industries this is undoubtedly an impressive book. But approached as an intervention in the field from two leading members of the ‘paratextual cohort’, it is even more dazzling. Drawing on international fieldwork and an instructive range of case studies, Grainge and Johnson convincingly make the case for just how creative, aesthetically vibrant, and culturally significant the work of the promotional screen industries can be."
Matt Hills, Professor of Film and TV Studies, Aberystwyth University

'This excellent work promises a new way of thinking about Museology, as well as injecting a welcome non-Eurocentric line of argument. The approach that "the emptiness of the Museum represented, not a failure of Westernisation but a process of transculturation" is very rewarding.' Timon Screech, University of London, UK  'This important and scholarly work, engages with transculturalism as outlined by Ortiz and Bourdieu’s field theory to discuss the birth of the "empty" (temporary exhibition) - art museum in Japan. Although centering on developments in Tokyo, Morishita’s richly illustrated book, dealing with the complex struggles between agents in the contemporary world, will interest students of museum studies in general.' Viv Golding, University of Leicester, UK  '... commendably lucid and very well researched study of art museums in Japan... Morishita gives us fascinating insights into internal art politics in museums in Japan, exemplified by the long battle over many years for control and authority between the curators and artists in his case study of the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts... Morishita's book is [...] a most significant contribution to museum and art studies about Japan, and to museology internationally, in revealing the way that Japanese art museums have adapted Western models to suit their own society.'  reCollections  'Morishita does not present comparative discussions of Japanese versus the Western art museum models. Instead, the author offers an English language audience important insights into the evolution of the nation's cultural and museological history through the experience and opinion of key institutional and art group figures.'

Praise for  Stories of the Raksura, Volume Two and The Books of the Raksura "Breathtakingly surprising and fun. Wells is a master worldbuilder.&rdquo;&#8212;The New York Times &ldquo;Wildly original world-building, diverse and engaging characters, and a thrilling adventure plot. It&rsquo;s that rarest of fantasies: fresh and surprising, with a story that doesn&rsquo;t go where ten thousand others have gone before.&ldquo;&#8212;N. K. Jemisin, author of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms &ldquo;Truly inventive and stunningly imaginative world building perfectly melded with vivid, engaging characters make the Books of the Raksura one of my all-time favorite science-fiction series.&rdquo;&#8212;Kate Elliott, author of the Crown of Stars series  &ldquo;Martha Wells continues her Raksura series with another collection of novellas and shorter works. If you've never read the original trilogy (beginning with Cloud Roads), this is a fine introduction, but you really owe it to yourself to read them all. It's quite unlike anything else in the genre &#8212;with a core cast of non-human characters, it creates an entirely fresh, matriarchal fantasy world with its own biology, ecology, technology, and magic.&rdquo;&#8212;Barnes & Noble's New Book Round-up "Immensely pleasing. . . the shorter stories still encompass everything that makes the novels so satisfying, from the daily interactions between Raksura to the incredible creatures, mysteries and landscapes of the Three Worlds, and if Martha Wells were to never write anything other than Raksura stories from now on, as much as I love her other work, I can't say I'd complain."&#8212;A Dribble of Ink "That rarity&#8212;a completely unique and stunning fantasy world.&rdquo;&#8212;Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear &ldquo;Martha Wells writes fantasy the way it was meant to be&#8212;poignant, evocative, and astonishing. Prepare to be captivated 'til the sun comes up.&rdquo;&#8212;Kameron Hurley, author of The Mirror Empire and God's War &ldquo;With these books Wells is writing at the top of her game, and given their breadth, originality, complexity, this series is showing indications it could become one of the landmark series of the genre.&rdquo;&#8212;Adventures Fantastic &ldquo;An imaginative world of engaging characters . . . the dramatic battles, tough decisions, and character dynamics shine through.&rdquo;&#8212;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;Martha Wells' Raksura books are dense, and complex, with truly amazing world building, and non-human characters who are quite genuinely alien, yet still comprehensible and sympathetic.&rdquo;&#8212;Kelly McCullough, author of the WebMage series and the Fallen Blade novels
