Columbia University Press Save 30% on New Titles in Cultural and Media Studies Couchsurfing Cosmopolitanisms Can Tourism Make a Better World?      Edited by David Picard and Sonja Buchberger      Couchsurfing Cosmopolitanisms provides unique insights into the culture of computer-mediated hospitality and how this has begun to transform contemporary tourism and travel practice. The authors explore how social relations, intimacy and trust are built in the online environment and then extended into the offline contexts of actual tourism and travel. Being active couchsurfers themselves, the authors scrutinize the candid claim by much of the online hospitality community that couchsurfing creates a better world. The book is key reading for anyone interested in how computer mediated communication is changing contemporary forms of contact, travel and hospitality, and the kinds of cosmopolitism it brings into being.      Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%!  $35.00 $24.50 Paper | 160 pages | 10 images   Fashion Myths A Cultural Critque Roman Meinhold     In addition to products and services, multinational corporations sell myths, values, and immaterial goods. These "meta-goods," which include prestige, beauty, and strength, are major components of successful marketing and advertising. Fashion ads mine deeply rooted human values, ideals, and desires, channeled through social recognition, beautification, and rejuvenation. Although referencing meta-goods is obvious to some consumers, their connection to philosophical theories of human nature is less apparent, even among the marketers and advertisers who use them.    Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%! $30.00 $21.00 Paper | 170 page Fablab Of Machines, Makers, and Inventors    Edited by Julia Walter-Herrmann and Corinne Büching   It has only been ten years since MIT opened its first fabrication laboratory.
