Programming Our Lives
In this timely examination of television and American identity, Cummins and Gordon take readers on an informed walk through the changes that TV has already wrought-and those still likely to confront us. Commercial television in America is less than 60 years old, yet it has had an enormous impact on what we like, what we do, what we know, and how we think. A family transplanted from the 1940s to the present day would certainly be stunned by a fund…

The shaping of urban morphology
Alexander Pope unwittingly offered valuable solace and encouragement to students of urban morphology when he observed, in An Essay on Man , ‘A mighty maze! but not without a plan’. The search for guiding principles shaping morphology, for the formative, generative and adaptive processes operating in space and through time, is a major goal in the field of urban investigation. Every settlement consists of a number, or a mosaic, of distinct morpholo…
Rateable Assessment as a Data Source for Status Area Analysis
Research has revealed spatial segregation of status groups to be characteristic feature of many urban settlements. Sjoberg has identified such areas in pre-industrial cities although many have argued that marked spatial segregation primarily occurred in post-Industrial Revolution cities. Much interest has surrounded detailed analysis of settlements, or parts thereof, within particular historical eras, e.g. Victorian studies, but the study of the …
The Status Areas of Early to Mid-Victorian Edinburgh
This paper employs 1855 house valuation data to examine the detailed pattern of status areas in Edinburgh. High-, middle-, and low-status districts are described and analysed in detail. The paper examines changes to the pattern of the urban mosaic in the late-Victorian period, including co-operative housing projects and attempts to improve housing standards, during which Edinburgh provides interesting evidence of the factors influencing the direc…
A Taxonomy of Communication Media
The monograph defines and describes communication media; discusses the difference between information and instruction, instructional media and instructional aids; and proposes a set of criteria by means of which communication media may be distinguished from nonmedia, one medium distinguished from another, and a single medium distinguished from multimedia applications. A two-dimensional classification system for communication media is proposed: in…
Notice of a Hoard of Silver Coins discovered in Banffshire, of which three are now presented to the Museum
It is not on account of their rarity that these three coins are presented. The locality, and peculiar circumstances, in which they, and a good many others of the same type, were found, may perhaps gain them a place in tlie Society's Cabinet
Notice of Incised Sculpturings on the Steatite Rock at Feideland, the Extreme North of the Mainland of Shetland, and of a Cluster of Ruined Structures Styled Picts' Houses, on the Kaim of Isbister, Sh…
