Item description from seller

fresh attractive flexible black light cardboard boards, (a sort of imitation of an old leather notebook) with warp around yellow advertising band - I cannot find a copyright page or date of publication or printing in the book, barcode is on the warp around band. HUGHES, RIAN. Cult-ure : written and designed by Rian Hughes. London: Fiell, 2010, 362pp., . "Culture is your local consensus reality; your clothing, cuisine and hairstyle, the music you listen to, the films you see; your values, ideas, beliefs and prejudices. Culture, unlike race, is not a compulsory accident of birth, but an intellectual position. Today culture has a powerful new vector: the internet. Ideas -- from a YouTube video to a viral marketing phenomenon or a fundamentalist religion -- are travelling further and faster, and changing the cultural landscape like never before. In a new electronic democracy of ideas, cultural power is devolving to the creative individual. We will soon all have the means to create; we just have to decide whether it be art or bombs. In our symbol-drenched lives we desperately need a way of decoding the messages that bombard us. Written and designed by Rian Hughes, cult-ure is the culmination of a decade's research into why and how we communicate. Revealing how ideas are communicated through words, symbols and gestures, how such ideas gain cultural currency via the theory of the meme, cult-ure provides a thought-provoking exploration into media convergence within our digital age and an insider's guide into the changing nature of communications, perceptions and identities. Set to become a cult publication for the digital generation, cult-ure is the 21st century answer to Marshall McLuhan's seminal The Medium is the Massage. Cult-ure is your thought-provoking guide to surviving the new media revolution, and a potent inoculation against infection by dangerous ideas.". ISBN 9781906863289.

Terms of sale

US customers: add more books to your package, at only $1 additional shipping per volume with media mail - It is not possible to provide additional book photos. - Please be sure to read my full, detailed descriptions before ordering: markings, underlining, highlighting and other defects are noted in my descriptions to the extent humanly possible. Every book is examined carefully. If you must place an "inquiry" please use it to communicate thoroughly your needs and concerns in a few informative sentences: tell me what you need in a book, so I can understand you as a reader, collector, someone buying a gift, etc. Then I can respond effectively.

Shipping terms

US customers: add more books to your package, at only $1 additional shipping per volume with media mail

INQUIRIES, TRACKING, PACKING: If you are a collector or have specialized concerns please explain them in detail in any inquiry using the format: "I would like to purchase this book if it meets these following criteria" and be sure that the question is not already answered by my description. It is not possible to provide additional book photos. - PACKING YOUR BOOK: all of my books are packaged to survive the journey to you safely. Tracking numbers are sent via my mailing software and/or via the abebooks system: you can follow them and even sign up with the post for a notification of the progress of your package. Thanks to all of my customers for your support over the years, and happy reading to all.

PAYMENT: paying by credit card via the abebooks system is the most convenient solution. Due to EU tax requirements I am able to accept payment in EUR to my German bank account only in rare circumstances. Customers from Brazil must be prepared to email me their CFP tax number before any order can be processed.
HOW TO SEARCH MY ABEBOOKS INVENTORY: using the advanced boolean search in abebooks can lead you to some great discoveries in my collection of scholarly books, literature, and just fun reading: but it's confusing, it's not intuitive, it's not obvious. Ask me for a special search link and guide to advanced search. You will enjoy the process and save a lot of money by ordering more than one book at a time (unfortunately, this shipping advantage only applies to customers in the US).
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I apologize to my customers around the world for the high shipping costs which are beyond my control. Depending on the size and weight it is sometimes possible to mail two books in one priority mail envelope. If you wish to order more than one book for international shipping, feel free to inquire BEFORE YOU ORDER and I will explain the factors to consider. All packages are sent by airmail. There is no other option.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OF LARGE NUMBERS OF BOOKS: it is often possible to ship heavier boxes of many books, 7kg to 15kg at lower cost per item and faster via UPS. Please inquire BEFORE you place an order, as this is a complicated procedure involving tax and customs fees.
