Britain's place in the European Union is increasingly being called into question as the 40th anniversary of membership approaches in 2013. Pressure is building for a referendum to decide whether to stay in or leave. But clear & reliable information has been hard to find on both sides of the debate. This book puts that right. It shows how much the EU really costs charts Britain's declining influence & reveals the plans for 'more Europe' being discussed in Brussels. It cuts through the hysteria on both sides of the argument to analyse the alternatives available for business consumers & diplomats. The central issue of trade cited by David Cameron as a key reason for continued EU membership is tackled head-on. The book also explores what leaving the European club would mean for jobs travel security & the British way of life. Is now the time to say ' Au Revoir Europe'? 'I wanted to believe in Europe ' David Charter said. ' But when you are constantly told there is no alternative the questions start. This book provides the answers.' ...

This timely volume engages with one of the most important shifts in recent film studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically this marks a return to early interest in the effect of film on the audience by psychoanalysts & psychologists which was overtaken by concern with the effects of film linked to calls for censorship & moral panics rather than to understanding the mental & behavioral world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of film-viewing habits while traditional box office studies which treated the audience initially as a homogeneous market have been replaced by the study of individual consumers & their motivations. Latterly there has been a marked turn towards more sophisticated economic & sociological analysis of attendance data. & as the film experience fragments across multiple formats the perceptual & cognitive experience of the individual viewer (who is also an auditor) has become increasingly accessible. With contributions from Gregory Waller John Sedgwick & Martin Barker this work spans the spectrum of contemporary audience studies revealing work being done on local non-theatrical & live digital transmission audiences & on the relative attraction of large-scale domestic & mobile platforms. ...
