At a moment when American film reflects a deepening preoccupation with the Bush administration’s War on Terror, this authoritative and timely book offers the first comprehensive account of Hollywood’s propaganda role during the defining ideological conflict of the twentieth century: the Cold War. In an analysis of films dating from America’s first Red Scare in the wake of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Tony Shaw examines the complex relationship between filmmakers, censors, politicians, and government propagandists.

What do Mike Kelley and his cronies and sometime collaborators Jim Shaw, Paul McCarthy, and Tony Oursler talk about when they talk about art? You’ll have to crack this book to find out, but expect a heady mix of pop culture, sex, violence, politics, and, as always, a strong dose of humor. This volume brings together for the first time Kelley’s major interviews with those artists and others over the past 18 years. Kelley is naturally a provocative commentator on his own work and the work of others, but he’s also an informed and serious student of his interviewees’ oeuvre

As cities all over the world have urbanized rapidly after the industrial revolution, most cities have confronted environmental problems such as poor air and water quality, high levels of traffic congestion and ambient noise, poor-quality built environment, derelict land, greenhouse gas emissions, urban sprawl, generation of waste and waste-water. In particular, cities in the developing world face problems related to the living conditions in which the urban population lives.

The importance of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is increasing due, in part, to recent major disasters throughout the world. CCA and DRR are closely associated and there has been significant awareness at global and national levels to make collective focus on CCA and DRR. Although there are several books on CCA, this is the first systematic academic publication to highlight the linkages between CCA and DRR, CCA-DRR synergy and interactions. The book is divided into four parts: Part 1 focuses on the theory of CCA and DRR and its enabling environment; Part 2 foc
