Communication Research: Asking Questions, Finding Answers: 2026 Release
English | 2026 | ISBN: 126640659X | 417 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 32 MB
Communication Research: Asking Questions, Finding Answers covers basic research issues and processes, both quantitative and qualitative, appropriate for communication students with little or no previous research methods experience. The text's guiding principle is that methodological choices are made from one's research questions or hypotheses. This avoids the pitfall in which students learn one methodology or one methodological skill and then force that method to answer all types of questions. Instead of working with one methodology to answer all types of questions, students come away understanding a variety of methods and how to apply them appropriately.

Commoning Cultural Value: Building Hope and Resistance in Neoliberal Times
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032190630 | 190 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3.3 MB
This book formalizes a commons-oriented framework for the formation of cultural value as a way to oppose current neoliberal understandings of the value of culture. In doing so, it analyses the impact of two economic theories on culture: on the one hand, the book assesses how neoliberalism has changed our understanding of culture; on the other, it explains how the concept of the commons provides a way to resist this narrative, and how its emergence in the cultural sphere responds to the need of such an alternative.

Combinatorial Set Theory of C*-Algebras
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032086094 | 595 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 40 MB
This book explores and highlights the fertile interaction between logic and operator algebras, which in recent years has led to the resolution of several long-standing open problems on C*-algebras. The author is at the forefront of research on the interplay between logic and operator algebras (C*-algebras, in particular). The deep level of scholarship contained in these pages opens doors to operator algebraists interested in learning about the set-theoretic methods relevant to their field, as well as to set-theorists interested in expanding their view to the non-commutative realm of operator algebras. Enough background is included from both subjects to make this book a convenient, self-contained source for students. Exercises form an integral part of the text. They widen and deepen the material from the corresponding chapters. Other exercises serve as a warmup for the latter chapters.

Cold War Football: A History in Ten Matches
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1009456121 | 285 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
A gargantuan battle for hearts and minds, the Cold War is the supreme example of a 'people's war'. But what did the 'people's game' have to do with it? From Dynamo Moscow's stormy tour of Britain in 1945 to the inaugural Women's World Cup in 1991, Tony Shaw and Alan McDougall chart the clash between capitalism and communism in ten iconic football matches. They take us across Europe, Asia, South America and Africa to uncover football's part in bolstering democracies and dictatorships and in the struggle for influence in the developing world. They show how these matches offered a rare opportunity to see what life was like on 'the other side' of the Iron Curtain, making friends of enemies but also fuelling revolution. Featuring legendary players, goals and on- and off-field controversies, this is a fascinating history of how the Cold War shaped football and how football shaped the Cold War.
