Television and its Viewers reviews 'cultivation' research, which investigates the relationship between exposure to television and beliefs about the world. James Shanahan and Michael Morgan, both distinguished researchers in this field, scrutinize cultivation through detailed theoretical and historical explication, critical assessments of methodology, and a comprehensive 'meta-analysis' of twenty years of empirical results. They present a sweeping historical view of television as a technology and as an institution. Shanahan and Morgan's study looks forward as well as back, to the development of cultivation research in a new media environment. They argue that cultivation theory offers a unique and valuable perspective on the role of television in twentieth-century social life. Television and its Viewers, the first book-length study of its type, will be of interest to students and scholars in communication, sociology, political science and psychology and contains an introduction by the seminal figure in this field, George Gerbner.

Marketing in Travel and Tourism

Some stories don't need to be told and mine is probably one of them. My Police career was neither significant nor important. Many police officers have done far greater things than I. Their stories make mine pale into insignificance. I did however stick with it for 37 years and that should count for something. I was proud of some of the things I achieved particularly in the role of Prosecutor. Readers will note that very few participants are actually named unless they are celebrities or it would be rude not to. I simply don't want the drama of upsetting someone or forgetting others. I'm also mindful that in some instances I'm protecting what may be perceived as misdeeds, statute of limitations and all. I'm also confident that those of you who were around at the time will have little difficulty in putting the pieces together.You can be assured that each of the stories are true. Some are slightly embellished however for effect but not so as to destroy factual integrity.I really enjoyed my time with New Zealand Police. It's a pity that another government department left a sour taste at the end. No ongoing resentment...yeah right!That being said, come with me now on this mildly interesting adventure, after all....IT WASN'T ALL BAD!This is the preface to the tale of my Police career. It commenced with uniquely historical events at the Police College and then developed over the years to my niche as a prosecutor. I record quite a number of amusing and sometimes tragic tales. There is an ongoing royal theme culminating with meet and greets with Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales. To top it off, it ends with a shafting by another government department. What isn't there to like? I've even gone ahead and counted them. There are over 120 separate Police stories, yarns and quips. Not to mention the odd musing!

Libraries, archives, and museums reveal clues to the colorful characters lining the history of Delaware, from its earliest colonial days to the invention of the "beach resort" and the founding of the nation's "Summer Capital" to World War II and the present. Author Michael Morgan brings together this kaleidoscopic view of the men of the sea and the beachfront tycoons who shaped Delaware and its role in the development of America, in war, politics, and business, from the Europeans' arrival at Cape Henlopen until modern times. While the intrepid patriot Henry Fisher and the infamous serial killer Patty Cannon are not known beyond the boundaries of southern Delaware, others such as William Penn, Captain Kidd and the DuPonts enjoy more widespread reputations. Here, tales of shipwrecks and rumrunners combine with the politics of slavery and suffrage to illuminate the history of one corner of the United States, a microcosm that synthesizes light on various facets of the development of the United States in a broader context. * Michael Morgan pens a weekly column, "Delaware Diary," in the Delaware Coast Press and has authored many stories for The Baltimore Sun, Maryland Magazine, Civil War Times Illustrated, America's Civil War and other periodicals for the past 15 years. He is a frequent guest speaker at historical societies in Lewes, Georgetown, and other towns along the Delaware coast.

Arizona's favorite superhero, 13-year old Cat-Boy, finds himself in the unusual position of having to fight the dangerous Queen Jonester, the video-game character that escaped from his beloved Game-Cat. All of Team Cat must do battle with her digital army, which is seemingly indestructible. Will Cat-Boy be able to defeat the evil Queen Jonester before it's too late? And just whose side is Cat-Boy really on? A very delightful tale, set in Arizona, Michael Morgan has created believable, lovable characters, such as Janetic, Professor Nutt, Leopard Girl, Magma Man, and Wiggles. It is worth noting that one of the most important characters, 'General Joe', was based on America's most popular lawman, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Indeed, Sheriff Arpaio has been quoted as saying, "It is my delight that Michael Morgan based the character General Joe on me, and I am very impressed by his writing talent and publishing ambitions. Keep up the good work!" Cat-Boy vs. The Fatal Game Glitch is fast paced and action packed from the first page to the last. Cat-Boy and company are sure to take their place among the classics in American literature.

Cat-Boy Vs the Fatal Game Glitch

Shame is one of a family of self-conscious emotions that includes embarrassment, guilt, disgrace, and humiliation. On Shame examines this emotion psychologically and philosophically, in order to show how it can be a galvanizing force for moral action against the violence and atrocity that characterize the world we live in. Michael L. Morgan argues that because shame is global in its sense of the self, the moral failures of all groups in which we are a member – including the entire human race – reflect on each person individually. Drawing on historical and current affairs to explore the emotion of shame, as well as films such as Night and Fog, Hotel Rwanda and Life is Beautiful and the work of Primo Levi, Bernard Williams, and Stanley Cavell, Michael Morgan illustrates how moral responsibility can be facilitated by calling upon an emotional reaction that is familiar, complex, and central to our conception of ourselves as individuals and as members of society.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

Despite the wide use of shame in the media and politics, through 'name and shame' campaigns and cause-related marketing, it is not a term well or universally understood. This book points to ways in which we can and should use this powerful emotion to address and act against atrocities in the modern world.

This is a wonderful story about the superhero Cat-Boy. Michael Morgan did a great job with this story, mixing imagination, humor, sarcasm and local Arizona elements, creating a piece that is fast paced, funny, and holds the readers attention!
