Book Description
Upon its original publication in 1976, The American Film Industry was welcomed by film students, scholars, and fans as the first systematic and unified history of the American movie industry. Now this indispensible anthology has been expanded and revised to include a fresh introductory overview by editor Tino Balio and ten new chapters that explore such topics as the growth of exhibition as big business, the mode of production for feature films, the star as market strategy, and the changing economics and structure of contemporary entertainment companies. The result is a unique collection of essays, more comprehensive and current than ever, that reveals how the American movie industry really worked in a century of constant change-from kinetoscopes and the coming of sound to the star system, 1950s blacklisting, and today's corporate empires.

Book Description
Leading innovation expert Alec Ross explains what's next for the world, mapping out the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next ten years—for businesses, governments, and the global community—and how we can navigate them. While Alec Ross was working as Hillary Clinton's Senior Advisor on Innovation, he traveled to forty-one countries. He visited some of the toughest places in the world—from refugee camps of Congo to Syrian war zones. From phone-charger stands in Rwanda to R&D labs in South Korea, Ross has seen what the future holds. Over the past two decades, the Internet has radically changed markets and businesses worldwide. InThe Industries of the Future, Ross shows us what's next, highlighting the best opportunities for progress and explaining why countries thrive or sputter. He examines the specific fields that will most shape our economic future over the next ten years, including cybercrime and cybersecurity, the commercialization of genomics, the next step for big data, and the coming impact of digital technology on money, payments, and markets. And in each of these realms, Ross addresses the toughest questions: How will we have to adapt to the changing nature of work? Is the prospect of cyberwar sparking the next arms race? How can the world's rising nations hope to match Silicon Valley in creating their own innovation hotspots? Ross blends storytelling and economic analysis to give a vivid and informed perspective on how sweeping global trends are affecting the ways we live, incorporating the insights of leaders ranging from the founders of Google and Twitter to defense experts like David Petraeus. The Industries of the Future takes the intimidating, complex topics that many of us know to be important and boils them down into clear, plain-spoken language. This is an essential work for understanding how the world works—now and tomorrow—and a must-read for businesspeople, in every sector, from every country.

Book Description
The last decade has seen a proliferation of hugely successful film franchises and television shows - such as Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, The Walking Dead and many more - based on comic books which have avid fan followings of their own. Comic books have now assumed an enormously important position within the American entertainment business, where they function as intellectual property (IP) development wings for major producers and studios, important brand management tools for studio marketing departments, and major divisions in their own right within powerful entertainment conglomerates such as Disney and Warner Bros. Even fifteen years ago, however, comic books' ascendancy within the entertainment industry would have been impossible to anticipate. With dwindling consumer interest, a collapsing retail market, and several high-profile bankruptcies (including Marvel Comics), comic books seemed an increasingly marginal - and unprofitable - business at the start of the twenty-first century. The American Comic Book Industry and Hollywood charts the transformation of the American comic book industry as it became increasingly integrated into Hollywood between 2000 and 2015. What were the economic factors, organizational contexts, and technological changes responsible for the industry's sudden renaissance? How has the comic industry's greater integration into Hollywood altered the former's business, labour, and creative practices? Conversely, how has this integration affected the business, labour, and creative practices of Hollywood film, television, and video game companies? In answering these questions, this book provides a detailed account of how the comic book industry functions today, including details about its labour practices, corporate structures, product development, creative practices and consumer markets. This is the first book to provide a broad overview of the industry side of the comic book genre and associated franchises. It synthesises and expands upon existing scholarship on the comic book and Hollywood film industries, and draws on historical documents, original interviews with industry workers, and case studies of specific properties (such as Batman, The Walking Dead and Mass Effect) and specific companies (e.g. Marvel, Avatar Press). It also provides a corrective to the popular view that the comic book industry and its ties to Hollywood revolve primarily around superheroes and the properties owned by Marvel and DC Comics.
