"Media Studies 2.0 well repays a close reading and should be on the reading list of everyone teaching media. Merrin writes well and makes his points both seriously and entertaingly, a commendable combination."
Paul A. Soukup, S.J., Santa Clara University, Communication Research Trends
"For thoughtful, clearly articulated reasons, and with a deep understanding of the history of media theories and practices, William Merrin makes a powerful argument that ‘media studies’ is in need of dramatic disruption. Media Studies 2.0 offers students and their tutors a fruitful vision of how to engage with today’s complex digital media systems."

David Gauntlett, Professor of Media and Communications, University of Westminster

"Merrin's Media Studies 2.0 brings media to life and is the provocation that will force a real rethink in the field by students and scholars alike, and rightly so."

Andrew Hoskins, Interdisciplinary Research Professor, University of Glasgow

"William Merrin’s Media Studies 2.0 provides a rethinking of the discipline of media studies by arguing that the digital transformation of older media forms and emergence of new media requires developing innovative forms of media studies that engage contemporary changes in media, social practices, and the shift to a digitized culture. Clear, provocative, and engaging, Merrin provides many keen insights into the new media matrix and makes clear the need to reconstruct media studies to respond our ever-evolving proliferation of new media and communications practices."

Douglas Kellner, George F. Kneller Philosophy of Education Chair, University of California, Los Angeles 

"Merrin’s Media Studies 2.0 works hard to offer a new account of the history (and prehistory) of media studies and it raises some interesting historical, theoretical and technological issues along the way. It is a controversial book, but one which should prove to be a valuable read for undergraduate students.

Ben Taylor, Principal Lecturer in Media & Cultural Studies, Nottingham Trent University

'John Pratt has long understood the importance of this inter-disciplinary approach to our understanding of public discourses on crime and punishment, and this new text on penal populism is yet another example of his ability to put together, and then convincingly apply, an extensive intellectual tool kit... This is an important, acessible international perspective on the rise of penal populism and surely deserves a place in every academic library' - Mike Ryan, University of Greenwich, Punishment and Society
'Pratt's book is a concise text that will appeal to both the academic and criminal justice professional.Its particular value lies in the accessible form with which it presents its case' - Jamie Bennett, Security Group

Penal Populism

'Corey and Wilson offer some useful provocative thinking on current urban and, especially, regional development planning, and they provide planning practitioners with an open and versatile framework for action ... a refreshing and inspiring read.' – Planning Practice and Research

'It has the drive and the conciseness of a manifesto ... and as such it is fairly convincing. It effectively shows the increasing variety of scales and issues planners have to deal with today, and it provides a framework for analysing these and structuring consequent action.' – Planning Practice and Research

“The history of science is present throughout the chapters, providing a backdrop for teaching science using the book. … a very densely written book, filled with lots of information … &nbsp;The major strength of the book is that it is not merely a collection of assignments for students to calculate, instead taking the reader on a trip through history and science fiction, subsequently asking thought- and discussion-provoking questions on a diverse set of science and extra-scientific issues … .” (Laura Søvsø Thomasen, Metascience, December 2, 2021)From the book reviews of the first edition:

“Barry B. Luokkala’s Exploring Science Through Science Fiction offers a wide-ranging treatment of fundamental scientific questions and concepts as dramatized in science fiction. Designed for an undergraduate science course, this textbook addresses the varying degree of plausibility inherent to many popular science fiction constructs … . Exploring Science through Science Fiction strikes a delicate compromise, introducing readers to the fantastical side of science without being completely overwhelming.” (Jen Jenkins, Journal of Science Fiction, Vol. 2 (1), September, 2017)

“Exploring Science through Science Fiction fits into a lineage of works that use science fiction as a starting point for science education. … The book is very clear and well written. … the book is a good text for an optional one-semester undergraduate course, but it can also be used as a source of ideas for sci-fi illustrations of particular points in any core science course, even at high school level. … I highly recommend this book.” (Jerzy Brzozowski, Science and Education, Vol. 25, 2016)

“Luokkala has recognized the usefulness of this bridging of the arts and sciences in the classroom, and his textbook … comes out of more than a decade of teaching an undergraduate course on this topic. … it provides an engaging introduction to scientific thinking. The proposed discussion topics may indeed work best in a mixed classroom, in which students will be able to learn how views on the topic under discussion may differ between scientists and non-scientists.” (Kanta Dihal, Foundation, Vol. 122, 2015) 

“The author presents many good discussion and exploration topics, as well as back-of-the-envelope-type estimation problems. The references include DVD release and scene number information, making the chapter and end-of-book bibliographies highly valuable to instructors interested in bringing such subject material into their classroom. Summing Up: Recommended. All undergraduate students, faculty, and general readers.” (S. A. Curtis, Choice, Vol. 51 (10), June, 2014)

“Exploring Science Through Science Fiction is organized into seven chapters centered on common themes in science fiction film and literature … . this book is an engaging and readable text. … The textbook has the ability to spark in its readers an interest in and appreciation for science and technology. Luokkala provides ample resources in the appendices for interested readers to continue their own investigations.” (Emily Margolis, Quest The history of Spaceflight, Vol. 21 (3), 2014)

"George Downs and David Rocke's new book on the intersection of domestic politics and international relations is an important and exciting contribution to the burgeoning game theory literature on the subject.  Moving beyond the two-level game metaphor both in terms of analytical rigor and in terms of subject matter, it focuses on how uncertainty about aspects of a state's domestic politics can affect international behavior and institutions."---Andrew Kydd, Political Science Quarterly

David Shim’s book Visual Politics and North Korea is a timely and welcome intervention in the fields of International Relations, Asian Studies and Visual Culture. By taking the politics of seeing seriously, Shim reveals how North Korea’s geopolitical status as a pariah state has been visually figured, secured and reproduced. What makes this book particularly innovative is its attention to contrasting scales of visuality as Shim juxtaposes the practices of everyday photography with the asymmetries produced by satellite imagery. While Shim’s focus is on the case of North Korea, the book provides wide-ranging insights about the relationship between visuality and global politics. In that sense, Visual Politics and North Korea will be invaluable for critical scholars exploring the multiple intersections of seeing, knowing, globalization and power. 
Dr. Debbie Lisle, School of Politics, International Studies & Philosophy, Queen's University Belfast, UK.
Disciplinary differences notwithstanding, Shim has offered a nuanced, challenging and timely work on the visual politics of North Korea. In a way, the title does not do justice to the work being done the book is more about the visual politics of how the world (particularly, the United States) imagines North Korea. That is, these visual representations say much more about our desires and our ideological conditioning than it says about North Korea's desires or ideological conditioning. Thus, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of visual culture, for those in the field of Critical International Relations, and for anyone interested in North Korea's place in the world.
Terry Park, 38 North
The real value that Shim brings here is the discussion of techniques and ways in which staging take place, both in front of the camera and behind it. Shimâ€™s final conclusion is the most important element of the book: â€œvisual representations clearly address powerâ€ and this book is a useful companion piece when considering asymmetrical information and whose agenda one representation or another supports or weakens.
Virginie Grzelczyk, E-IR
For anyone interested in Korean affairs, and especially those who are planning a visit to the DPRK in the next future, this is definitely a recommended reading.
