The technology of representation and imaging has undergone vast changes. Imaging technologies can now create representations of high-tech warfare, manifest virtual reality, or visualize an atom. This series of essays by philosophers, media theorists, and cultural critics carefully examines these advances and grants special attention to the digital explosion of the 90s. Essays cover everything from the limits of photographic representation in the time of digital imaging to a filmmaker's thoughts on immersive environments. This is not light reading and many essays have an academic tone, but it's an important work for those interested in new media and technologies.

Book Description

From the legendary creative team of Pat Mills (Judge Dredd, Sláine, A.B.C. Warriors) and Kevin O'Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) comes a new kind of hero...

It is the none-too-distant future. San Francisco has been destroyed by a massive earthquake, and rebuilt as San Futuro. The Government has publicly endorsed genetics programs designed to create a new race of superheroes. A war against South America has left many of those "heroes" dead...but not enough. Now, men and women with super-powers run rampant. The public's greatest icons hide dark secrets. A killer yet more vicious and evil than any before is slaughtering young women, pursuing a crazed agenda. One man stands between the city and the Abyss. His name is Marshal Law, and he is a hero hunter. But he hasn't found any heroes yet..

Absolutely Brutal Satire.......1998-11-11

Pat Mills is one of the most vicious satirists in any medium anywhere in the world, and Marshal Law has to be his finest work. On the surface, it's a mere parody of superhero comics, but Mills digs beneath the surface to show the true horrors of politics and religion. Kevin O'Neill's art is the perfect compliment. I won't give away the plot -- just believe me when I tell you that anyone who's ever read a Superman comic or wants to know the truth about our culture and society should check out Marshal Law.

Customer Reviews:

Not quite what the blurb describes. . . .......2007-01-15

This book was described as fun for kids and there was nothing about its text or layout that was age-appropriate for the range indicated. Maybe it would be a fun gag gift for accountants, but the math and the "tricks and puzzles" inside were overly complicated in both description and instruction. Also, the layout of the book was cheap and not in the least appealing visually, and the paper was cheap stock. I intended to give this book to a child who is extremely advanced in math and it was not even appropriate for him. I ended up giving it as a gag gift to the controller at the office holiday party. Definitely would not recommend this book for young people.

Great teaching resource........2007-01-04

This is an excellent case book. I have been using it for a number of years and find that my students learn a great deal from the wide variety of cases. I strongly recommend this book. In fact, I dropped the text and use this instead. I supplement the case discussions but students get much more from the class by using this book.
