I am a layman in politics and am not studying for any examinations but I bought this book as well as the Oxford Dictionary of Politics and the Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century British Politics for reference purposes.
I read several chapters and found the style so good that I ended up reading it from cover to cover.
Huge chunks of it didn't teach me much more than I already learned either from reading quality weekly magazines and daily newspapers or from overlaps with other subjects that I had previously read quite a lot of e.g.economics, history, philosophy and sociology.
Nevertheless, I found it an enjoyable and worthwhile overview of the landscape.

To the student - you might find this book helpful for last minute revision for A level Film and Media Studies exams this June - we put revision lists at the back of the book arranged by topic, so that you can see at a glance which terms you could use in your exam answers under specific topics, such as Genre, Narrative or New Media etc.
Good luck!
To the teacher - even though the specifications for all A levels will change from September 2008, the key Media and Film concepts and terms will not (except for the odd neologism, which we hope to add in future editions), so we designed this book to have shelf life and relevance across the board.

Cage takes on Goldbug with assistance from an old acquaintance of Daredevil who is now known, with some irony, as Thunderbolt.
Cage may take on and defeat all manner of evil characters, he even fends off enquiries by detective Quentin Chase but can he defeat the tax-man?
The oddest tale involves the electric ... Read More:
