Bibliography
In Cymbeline, Ancient Britains female heir to the throne is slandered by a decadent Italian while the Romans invade Britain to retain it as part of their empire. Shakespeares late romance is full of unpredictable conjunctions that are explored in the comprehensive introduction to this new, fully-illustrated Arden edition. Valerie Wayne takes a transformative look at the plays critical and performance history by examining its attention to gender, calumny and sexuality together with nationhood, colonialism and British identities. The authoritative play text is amply annotated to clarify its language and allusions, and three appendices delineate the plays textual history, its rich use of music and its casting. Offering students and scholars alike a wealth of insight and new research, this edition maintains the rigorous standards of the Arden Shakespeare.

Bibliography
Riddle me this, riddle me that, guess me this riddle, and perhaps not: A we run things, things no run we. Who could that be? One possible answer: Jamaican sprinters.
Enquiring minds want to know: Why do Jamaicans run so fast? Usain Bolt may be the most recent and the most spectacular Jamaican practitioner of the art of speed, but he and Shelly-Ann Fraser stand on the shoulders of giants of both genders, heirs to a pedigree that goes back at least a hundred years to the teenaged Norman Manley and before.
For years before the explosion of Lightning Bolt on the Beijing Olympics track, the consistent speediness of men and women from this small island had been the subject of serious and humorous speculation, pride and su-su. What is the gold that is mined so consistently by Jamaican sprinters that permits the little country to claim a place among the top five countries, measured in terms of medals per capita of population, in almost every Olympics since the Second World War and all on the basis of athletics, mostly the sprints (400 metres and under)?
Can science explain it? Does the touchy area of genetics even though, scientifically speaking, theres no such thing as race explain it? For instance, all the current world record holders for the sprints and most of the former for the past fifty years or so have been born in the Americas, descendants of slaves of West African lineage. Is running fast in the blood, so to speak? Or is it as simple as the varieties of yam (twenty-two at last count) to be found on the hills of Jamaica and in the stomachs of its people?
Behind the simple tales of the tape are theories and questions that have attracted fourteen specialists from a range of disciplines, from biochemistry to physiology, from genetics to psychiatry, each with an insight, a piece of the puzzle. Jamaican Gold presents research and argument, history and biography and much more for the specialist and the sports fan, for the academic and the coach, in one attractive, easy-to-read volume, packed with photographs and illustrations, including a special section of memorable photos of the heroes of yesteryear and today.
With Jamaican Gold to hand, the London Olympics will be just as thrilling, and youll be closer to answering the question: Why do those Jamaicans run so fast?

Within small markets for television like Jamaica, where sustaining a show on air is affected by financial and other challenges, remaining on air for a long time becomes a key marker of a television programmes success. Still on Air documents the historical, production and broadcast experiences of some of Jamaicas long-running television shows. Based on interviews with over one hundred television professionals as well as archival searches of television-related content spanning over fifty years, the book provides details on over three hundred programmes produced and aired on free-to-air television stations in the island.
Yvette J. Rowe and Livingston A. White present a framework of seven factors for producing television for small markets and suggest ways in which local television producers can create successful television programmes in limited-resource environments. After exploring other shows with potential for being long-running productions, the authors end discuss trends in television production as well as some possibilities and recommendations that have implications for how television shows are produced in the future.
Still on Air is an important work as it chronicles an aspect of the Jamaican television industry that has never before been given such detailed attention. The experiences are applicable to television producers working in small media markets and the authors offer insight on what is required to produce television programming that is culturally sensitive, affordable and responsive to television audiences.
