<p>First edition. Number 7 in the Publishing Pathways series. Newsbooks, newspapers, journals, magazines, periodicals - in fact all manner of serialized material produced during the last three centuries in Britain and America - are the subject of this book. Serials, perhaps better than any other form of print production, exemplify the "creative tension" between publisher and consumer. Throughout the period, the opportunity existed for enterprising producers to tap into new, sometimes very large, audiences. They then had to find ways to hold on to their readership from one issue to the next. Readers, in turn, influenced the shape and content of their favorite regular reading matter, but equally they had the power to wipe out serial enterprises in vast numbers. It is this developing interaction that forms the main theme of this book. At the same time intriguing evidence is presented for how serials "worked" in particular historical contexts; how, for example, distribution networks in the 1620s were much more highly developed than is usually assumed; how people in colonial America ensured that they had access to the latest prints; how advertising changed the nature of newspapers; how local papers reflected and contributed to political organization; how the serialized novel of the 1830s affected authorial practice; and how long-held views of a literary hierarchy in which the book is considered to be the most important form of publication may need revising.

The Korean peninsula underwent a continuous number of earth-shaking events in the twentieth century - although it is generally out of the earthquake zone. Jutting off the extreme northeast edge of the Eurasian landmass, and with a combined population of nearly seventy million people, North and South Korea are situated among China, Japan and Russia. They are also profoundly influenced by the United States because of the circumstances of the Korean War (1950-1953). The issues of war and peace, left over from the Korean war, remain unresolved; these two separate states are the residue of the Cold War. This anomaly still poses ominous prospects for war or peace in Asia, and American national security interests. Focusing on the last hundred years of Korea's long history, and its particular relationship with China, one is in a position both to understand and marvel at the events of this century on the Korean peninsula. At the same time, the complexity of the division of the country into North and South Korea - not just a perennial struggle between good and evil, although that is certainly part of the story - places the future at risk. There was one terrible war that divided the 20th century in half and there are threats of more trouble to come. This study of the history of the past century will provide some answers and open the way to informed speculations.
