	Media Consumption and Public Engagement Beyond the Presumption of Attention by Nick Couldry, Sonia Livingstone and Tim Markham (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007) Contemporary democracies are based on the belief that media can deliver the attention of the voting populations. But in an age of multiplying media, political disillusionment, and time-scarcity, is this plausible any longer? This book addresses this major question head on, drawing on the voices of people from the UK who were asked to write diaries about their experiences (or not) of 'public connection', as well as survey data and comparative research in the USA and elsewhere. Find out about the other books from the programme by visiting the books section below

Consuming Cultures, Global Perspectives: Historical Trajectories, Transnational Exchanges
Edited by John Brewer and Frank Trentmann (Oxford and New York: Berg, 2006)

Globalization and consumerism are two of the buzzwords of the early twenty-first century. In Consuming Cultures, renowned scholars explore the links between modernity and consumption. The book fills a gap in contemporary thinking on the subject by approaching it from a truly global point-of-view. It draws on case studies from around the world, with Africa, Asia and Central America featuring as prominently as Western countries. Challenging and pioneering, Consuming Cultures problematises popular accounts of globalization and consumerism, decentring the West and concentrating on putting history back into these accounts.

Swinging Sixties
C. Breward, D. Gilbert and J. Lister (eds), (London: V&A Publications, 2006)

C. Breward, E. Ehrman and C. Evans, (London: Yale University Press, 2004)

From Savile Row to Carnaby Street, from the bohemian dress of the Oscar Wilde circle in the nineteenth century to the punk street styles of recent years, London has been a significant source of fashion style.
