The World's Game: A History of Soccer by Bill Murray, ISBN 0252067185
Known as much for the emotional outbursts and violence of its fans as for its own stars, soccer (or football, as it is known outside the United States) is a global game. Its international controlling body, FIFA, boasts more members than the United Nations. Bill Murray traces the growth of what during pre-industrial times was called "the simplest game" through its codification in the nineteenth century to the 1994 World Cup, held for the first time in the United States. Murray weaves the sport's growth into the culture and politics of the countries where it has been taken up, analyzing its reputation as a game that has seen more riots and on-field brawls than all other types of football combined. He vividly illustrates how soccer has become the world's most popular sport, one that has resisted the interference of politicians, dictators, and profiteers and - more recently - the demands of television, through which it has spread to virtually every corner of the globe. The World's Game will be entertaining and enlightening to anyone from the most avid, knowledgeable fan to those who merely hope to learn a little about the sport.
Ibsen, a Doll's House by Egil Tornqvist, ISBN 0521478669
Ibsen's A Doll's House is one of the most widely debated plays, but which version of the play do we refer to--the original text, translations, stage presentation, radio, film or television adaptations? This study addresses these questions and examines how the choice of medium and directorial approaches have influenced the meaning of the play text. Comparative analysis of the text and performance is framed by biographical background to the play and its impact on later dramatists such as Strindberg and Shaw.

Disasters of Peace by Wolf Vostell, ISBN 8881582538
The work of Wolf Vostell bears witness to a life of social and political commitment that can only be compared to that of his friend and traveling companion Joseph Beuys. In 1958, Vostell was the first, along with Nam June Paik, to use television sets in artistic installations, and in 1963, he presented the first video installation ever exhibited in the U.S.A founding figure of Fluxus activity in Europe, he termed his work de-coll/age, a word he used to represent his actions and happenings that assembled the mobile fragments of reality to investigate the wars and tragedies of contemporary history: the Shoah, the Berlin Wall, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and Sarajevo. This retrospective catalogue presents documentation of fifty works covering the entire period of Vostell's artistic production, from the late 1950s to the mid-1990s.

Faith and Force: A Christian Debate about War
With one voice, David L. Clough and Brian Stiltner outline and clarify issues of humanitarian intervention, weapons proliferation, and preventative war against rogue states. Their writing is grounded in Christian tradition and provides a fresh and illuminating account of the complexities and nuances of the pacifist and just war positions. In each chapter Clough and Stiltner engage in debate on the issues, demonstrating a respectful exchange of ideas absent in much contemporary political discourse--whether on television or in the classroom. The result is a well-reasoned, challenging repartee that searches for common ground within the Christian tradition and on behalf of the faithful promotion of justice--yet one that also recognizes genuine differences that cannot be bridged easily. Intended for a broad audience, Faith and Force is the perfect foil to the shrill screeching that surrounds partisan perspectives on military power and its use.

Children and Television
Television is often cited as a cause of violent crime or behaviour. Usually, this connection is made in the context of the behaviour of young people - as another way of blaming them for the broader ills of society. It is rare, however, for even a single reference to television to be included in the index of reports on juvenile crime. Television, it seems, is presented as an increasingly influential force in society, even though there has been scant discussion on how it really influences the behaviour...
