2010 | ISBN: 140518535X | English | 256 pages | PDF | 1.7 MB

Combining an exciting methodology alongside high-interest case studies, Television in Transition offers students of television a guide to a medium that has weathered the challenges of first-run syndication, a multi-channel universe, netlets, major media conglomerates, deregulation, and globalization–all in the space of twenty years.

Examines a return in television programming to action narratives with individual (super) heroes intended to navigate this new, international, multi-channel universe

Explores how television programming “translates” to new spatial geographies: different nations, cultures, broadcast systems; and different formats, distribution outlets, and screen sizes

Looks at the value of a program’s “afterlife,” the continued circulation, repackaging and repurposing of programming beyond its initial iteration

Blends institutional and textual analyses in case studies of Highlander: The Series, Smallville, 24, and Doctor Who

Authors: Ahmed, Tanveer

Demonstrates how an achievable 10% increase in renewable energy generation can significantly cut carbon emissions in Canada
Combines coverage of technology choices and economic analysis to provide implementation context
Suggests supportive policy measures that do not include feed-in tartiffs or loans

The work demonstrates a techno-economic model of power generation for the cost-effective integration of renewable energy sources, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. The methodological approach outlined by the author is based on periodic simulation of price variations. The result demonstrates that a 10% transition to renewable energy generation is possible, practical and affordable when supported by an effective policy framework that does not need to introduce a feed-in tariff or loan-based financial mode.
