| amazon textbook trade in: Books in the Digital Age John B. Thompson, 2013-10-21 The book publishing industry is going through a period of profound and turbulent change brought about in part by the digital revolution. What is the role of the book in an age preoccupied with computers and the internet? How has the book publishing industry been transformed by the economic and technological upheavals of recent years, and how is it likely to change in the future? This is the first major study of the book publishing industry in Britain and the United States for more than two decades. Thompson focuses on academic and higher education publishing and analyses the evolution of these sectors from 1980 to the present. He shows that each sector is characterized by its own distinctive ‘logic’ or dynamic of change, and that by reconstructing this logic we can understand the problems, challenges and opportunities faced by publishing firms today. He also shows that the digital revolution has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the book publishing business, although the real impact of this revolution has little to do with the ebook scenarios imagined by many commentators. Books in the Digital Age will become a standard work on the publishing industry at the beginning of the 21st century. It will be of great interest to students taking courses in the sociology of culture, media and cultural studies, and publishing. It will also be of great value to professionals in the publishing industry, educators and policy makers, and to anyone interested in books and their future. |
| amazon textbook trade in: The Book Business Mike Shatzkin, Robert Paris Riger, 2019-02-01 Many of us read books every day, either electronically or in print. We remember the books that shaped our ideas about the world as children, go back to favorite books year after year, give or lend books to loved ones and friends to share the stories we've loved especially, and discuss important books with fellow readers in book clubs and online communities. But for all the ways books influence us, teach us, challenge us, and connect us, many of us remain in the dark as to where they come from and how the mysterious world of publishing truly works. How are books created and how do they get to readers? The Book Business: What Everyone Needs to Know® introduces those outside the industry to the world of book publishing. Covering everything from the beginnings of modern book publishing early in the 20th century to the current concerns over the alleged death of print, digital reading, and the rise of Amazon, Mike Shatzkin and Robert Paris Riger provide a succinct and insightful survey of the industry in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format. The authors, veterans of trade publishing, or the branch of the business that puts books in our hands through libraries or bookstores, answer questions from the basic to the cutting-edge, providing a guide for curious beginners and outsiders. How does book publishing actually work? What challenges is it facing today? How have social media changed the game of book marketing? What does the life cycle of a book look like in 2019? They focus on how practices are changing at a time of great flux in the industry, as digital creation and delivery are altering the commercial realities of the book business. This book will interest not only those with no experience in publishing looking to gain a foothold on the business, but also those working on the inside who crave a bird's eye view of publishing's evolving landscape. This is a moment of dizzyingly rapid change wrought by the emergence of digital publishing, data collection, e-books, audio books, and the rise of self-publishing; these forces make the inherently interesting business of publishing books all the more fascinating. |
| amazon textbook trade in: Book Wars John B. Thompson, 2021-03-04 This book tells the story of the turbulent decades when the book publishing industry collided with the great technological revolution of our time. From the surge of ebooks to the self-publishing explosion and the growing popularity of audiobooks, Book Wars provides a comprehensive and fine-grained account of technological disruption in one of our most important and successful creative industries. Like other sectors, publishing has been thrown into disarray by the digital revolution. The foundation on which this industry had been based for 500 years – the packaging and sale of words and images in the form of printed books – was called into question by a technological revolution that enabled symbolic content to be stored, manipulated and transmitted quickly and cheaply. Publishers and retailers found themselves facing a proliferation of new players who were offering new products and services and challenging some of their most deeply held principles and beliefs. The old industry was suddenly thrust into the limelight as bitter conflicts erupted between publishers and new entrants, including powerful new tech giants who saw the world in very different ways. The book wars had begun. While ebooks were at the heart of many of these conflicts, Thompson argues that the most fundamental consequences lie elsewhere. The print-on-paper book has proven to be a remarkably resilient cultural form, but the digital revolution has transformed the industry in other ways, spawning new players which now wield unprecedented power and giving rise to an array of new publishing forms. Most important of all, it has transformed the broader information and communication environment, creating new challenges and new opportunities for publishers as they seek to redefine their role in the digital age. This unrivalled account of the book publishing industry as it faces its greatest challenge since Gutenberg will be essential reading for anyone interested in books and their future. |
| amazon textbook trade in: Merchants of Culture John B. Thompson, 2021-04-14 These are turbulent times in the world of book publishing. For nearly five centuries the methods and practices of book publishing remained largely unchanged, but at the dawn of the twenty-first century the industry finds itself faced with perhaps the greatest challenges since Gutenberg. A combination of economic pressures and technological change is forcing publishers to alter their practices and think hard about the future of the books in the digital age. In this book - the first major study of trade publishing for more than 30 years - Thompson situates the current challenges facing the industry in an historical context, analysing the transformation of trade publishing in the United States and Britain since the 1960s. He gives a detailed account of how the world of trade publishing really works, dissecting the roles of publishers, agents and booksellers and showing how their practices are shaped by a field that has a distinctive structure and dynamic. This new paperback edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the most recent developments, including the dramatic increase in ebook sales and its implications for the publishing industry and its future. |

| amazon textbook trade in: Books, Bytes and Business Bill Martin, Xuemei Tian, 2016-04-08 How are businesses responding to global changes in markets driven by changes in technology? Whatever the industry, the trends are familiar: globalization and the rise of industrial conglomerates, mergers and acquisitions, the networking of businesses and markets, outsourcing and shifts in the distribution of resources and production, all reflected in the emergence of new players, new products and services and new forms of competition. As arguably the first knowledge-based business, book publishing provides an ideal setting for the study of challenge and opportunity. The industry is currently experiencing fierce levels of competition, extreme financial pressures, restructuring and the threat of technology-induced obsolescence. Added to these are the challenges posed by new and potential entrants to the market, the emergence of new products and services, new ways of doing business, including trading in virtual markets, and the vulnerability of traditional business models. The suitability of book publishing as a context for researching the emergence of knowledge-based business becomes all too apparent. Through combining primary research with secondary analysis drawn from the relevant literatures, Books, Bytes and Business is both a readable and informative account of business in the knowledge-based economy. |
| amazon textbook trade in: A History of the Book in America David Paul Nord, Joan Shelley Rubin, Michael Schudson, David D. Hall, 2015-12-01 The fifth volume of A History of the Book in America addresses the economic, social, and cultural shifts affecting print culture from World War II to the present. During this period factors such as the expansion of government, the growth of higher education, the climate of the Cold War, globalization, and the development of multimedia and digital technologies influenced the patterns of consolidation and diversification established earlier. The thirty-three contributors to the volume explore the evolution of the publishing industry and the business of bookselling. The histories of government publishing, law and policy, the periodical press, literary criticism, and reading--in settings such as schools, libraries, book clubs, self-help programs, and collectors' societies--receive imaginative scrutiny as well. The Enduring Book demonstrates that the corporate consolidations of the last half-century have left space for the independent publisher, that multiplicity continues to define American print culture, and that even in the digital age, the book endures.

| amazon textbook trade in: Hoe verkoop je tweedehands Boeken op Amazon Bolakale Aremu, 2024-03-29 In dit boek laat ik bewijs zien van mensen die veel geld hebben verdiend met dezelfde techniek die we al sinds 2019 gebruiken. Het is een soort online boekenarbitrage die nooit verzadigd kan raken. Het is iets dat nog steeds werkt en veel geld opbrengt voor veel mensen, vooral voor absolute beginnelingen. Dit komt omdat het echt niet te maken heeft met technische of voorkennis. Zo lang je internet en een computer hebt, kun je dit alleen doen door deze handleiding te volgen, of je kunt je bij ons aansluiten en beginnen met verkopen binnen onze community. Het maakt niet uit waar je woont, ik wil gewoon laten weten dat je deze strategie kunt gebruiken. Als je dit boek uitleest, niet wordt afgeleid, goed oplet en jezelf de kans geeft om dit te leren, en uiteindelijk actie onderneemt (1 tot 2 uur werk per dag) beloof ik je dat je minstens $ 10.000 per maand kunt verdienen. Ik ga vertellen hoe absolute beginnelingen veel geld hebben verdiend door een of twee van onze methoden te gebruiken. Voor deze methoden is marketing niet nodig. Dit is best wel raar voor een community die alleen maar over internetmarketing gaat, maar je hebt eigenlijk geen marketing nodig. Je hebt geen SEO, advertenties op Facebook of Google, blogs of contentmarketing nodig. Het is geen affiliate- of multilevelmarketing. Je hoeft niets te programmeren en geen e-mails te versturen. Je hebt geen eigen website nodig. Ik denk dat je nu wel hebt begrepen dat dit anders is. Onze strategie heeft zo veel succesverhalen opgeleverd. Ik heb er nog nooit zo veel gezien. Dit is echt een unieke strategie die alleen in onze eigen community wordt geleerd en onze cursisten hebben er veel succes mee. Dus als je een superdruk leven hebt en je vindt marketing helemaal niets, weet dan dat onze strategie geen marketing nodig heeft en dat je online een goed inkomen kunt verdienen. Je kunt hier zelfs een bedrijf mee opzetten, alhoewel het slechts een strategie en methode zijn die werken. Kortom, deze strategie is een echte eyeopener. Het zijn dingen die je kunt doen door een vraag in de markt te zoeken en dan een eenvoudige manier vinden om aan die vraag te voldoen tegen een geweldige winst. Ik doe al bijna 20 jaar zaken online en ik heb nog nooit iets gezien dat zo goed werkt als dit. Dus ik wil het je graag laten zien. Dit is in feite de eerste keer dat we deze methode openbaar maken. Ik vind het geweldig. Voordat we aan de slag gaan, gaan we eerst iets anders doen. We gaan wat resultaten bekijken zodat je kunt zien wat er mogelijk is met deze methoden. Ik wil je laten zien hoeveel geld je zou kunnen verdienen zodat je dit ook geweldig gaat vinden. |
| amazon textbook trade in: International Trade and Global Macropolicy Farrokh Langdana, Peter T. Murphy, 2013-07-16 In the curricula of highly ranked MBA programs, two areas of discussion are conspicuously absent: International Trade, and Global Macroeconomic Policy. In this post-financial crisis environment, as the US and other advanced economies continue to experience sluggish growth, persistently high unemployment, and political agitation for increasingly protectionist policies, discussions pertaining to trade, currencies, and international capital flows are often fraught with emotion, tension, and hysteria. This book cuts through the emotions and superficial “solutions” and provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the hard-hitting theoretical models that drive the global flow of goods, services, and capital in the real world. A key feature of this volume is the presentation of the theoretical models, and the discussion of their implications in the context of real-world applications. This text is uniquely designed for current and future business leaders who are, or will be, engaged in the global economy. Armed with an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings driving goods, capital and ideas across national boundaries, readers will learn to anticipate the effects of trade and macroeconomic policy changes, and will have the tools to make sound, informed decisions for themselves and their global organizations. |
| amazon textbook trade in: Making Identity Count Ted Hopf, Bentley B. Allan, 2016-04-06 Constructivism, despite being one of the three main streams of IR theory, along with realism and liberalism, is rarely, if ever, tested in large-n quantitative work. Constructivists almost unanimously eschew quantitative approaches, assuming that variables of interest to constructivists, defy quantification. Quantitative scholars mostly ignore constructivist variables as too fuzzy and vague. And the rare instances in which quantitative scholars have operationalized identity as a variable, they have unfortunately realized all the constructivists' worst fears about reducing national identity to a single measure, such as language, religion, or ethnicity, thereby violating one of the foundational assumptions of constructivism: intersubjectivity. Making Identity Count presents a new method for the recovery of national identity, applies the method in 9 country cases, and draws conclusions from the empirical evidence for hegemonic transitions and a variety of quantitative theories of identity. Ted Hopf and Bentley B. Allan make the constructivist variable of national identity a valid measure that can be used by large-n International Relations scholars in a variety of ways. They lay out what is wrong with how identity has been conceptualized, operationalized and measured in quantitative IR so far and specify a methodological approach that allows scholars to recover the predominant national identities of states in a more valid and systematic fashion. The book includes national identity reports on China, the US, UK, Germany, France, Brazil, Japan, and India to both test the authors' method and demonstrate the promise of the approach. Hopf and Allan use these data to test a constructivist hypothesis about the future of Western neoliberal democratic hegemony. Finally, the book concludes with an assessment of the method, including areas of possible improvement, as well as a description of what an intersubjective national identity data base of great powers from 1810-2010 could mean for IR scholarship. |
| amazon textbook trade in: History of Cartography Elri Liebenberg, Imre Josef Demhardt, 2012-01-04 This volume comprises the proceedings of the 2010 International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography. The nineteen papers reflect the research interests of the Commission which span the period from the Enlightenment to the evolution of Geographical Information Science. Apart from studies on general cartography, the volume, which reflects some co-operation with the ICA Commission on Maps and Society and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), contains regional studies on cartographic endeavours in Northern America, Brazil, and Southern Africa. The ICA Commission on Maps and Society participated as its field of study often overlaps with that of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography. The USGS which is the official USA mapping organisation, was invited to emphasise that the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography is not only interested in historical maps, but also has as mandate the research and document the history of Geographical Information Science.

| amazon textbook trade in: Amazon kennt Dich schon Carsten Knop, 2013-05-01 Vom Buchhändler zum Big Data-Player Als Jeff Bezos im Jahr 1994 von der Ostküste der Vereinigten Staaten Richtung Westen fuhr, hatte er eine Idee im Kopf, die die Art und Weise wie Menschen Bücher kaufen, vollkommen verändern sollte. Das Unternehmen, das er in Seattle gründete, heißt Amazon. Zunächst wurde es belächelt: Bücher über das Internet versenden, wie sollte man damit Geld verdienen? Bald schon, so hieß es, werde Amazon pleite sein. Die Anlaufkosten seien viel zu hoch, die Margen zu niedrig. War es nicht viel inspirierender, seine Bücher vom Händler im Stadtviertel oder von den Großbuchhandlungen in der Stadt zu beziehen? Aber Bezos' Idee überlebte das Zerplatzen der Internetblase und führte zu einem Welterfolg. Das Unternehmen wird an der Börse ehrgeiziger bewertet als Apple. Längst verkauft Amazon mehr als Bücher. Amazon hat fast alles im Angebot, was Menschen brauchen. Das Unternehmen wird über die elektronischen Bücher auf seinen Kindle-Lesegeräten zum Segen und Fluch für Verlage zugleich – und sammelt seit Jahren Daten über die Einkaufsgewohnheiten seiner Kunden. Bezos hat Amazon nicht nur zum Pionier des Onlinehandels gemacht. Er kennt seine Kunden auch besser als traditionelle Einzelhändler. Die könnten mit den neusten Trends in der Informationstechnologie rund um das Stichwort Big Data zwar bald nachziehen. Aber Bezos ist längst weiter: Er vermietet die Kapazität seiner Rechenzentren an Dritte. Und irgendwann fliegt er ins Weltall. Wie immer bei Bezos: Wer zahlt, darf mit auf die Reise. Für alle, die hinter die Kulissen von Amazon.com schauen und die Wahrheit hinter der Kundenfreundlichkeit erfahren möchten. |
