This blog is created and maintained by Brian Anse Patrick, Ph.D., M.A., B.A. GED, Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Toledo, OH, for the purpose of discussing ongoing publications and intellectual/spiritual interests. Anti-Media are the computer mediated communication channels that are used to horizontally inform the New American Gun Culture, as opposed to the old vertical media/propaganda systems that are used to disinform the masses.

Dictionary of Academia Now on Amazon Kindle
Here is the link to Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/DICTIONARY-OF-ACADEMIA-ebook/dp/B009RC0SJA/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352499512&sr=1-2&keywords=Goatpower+Publishing
The author is amazing, funny, outrageous, too. The book promised to be "abrasive"and it delivers. It takes a sandblast hose to the pretensions of academia, academics, and especially to all our overpaid friends in academic administration. Definitions and topics covered in this masterpiece include: Autocopulatory Cognition (think about that one for a while), the Subprime Educational Market, and $tudent. Learn about the new "Eduhcation" and "Duh-mocracy" and the hitherto mysterious reproductive lives of deans. Administration is defined as a "sort of witless protection program." I love this dictionary and plan to contribute definitions for the next edition. Mockery becomes a high art form as it is delivered by this book. I write on propaganda, see The Ten Commandments of Propaganda, and this book simply demolishes much of the educational propaganda that is being spewed out by university administrators who have wrongfully taken upon themselves the mantle of knowledge. This book pays them their due.

2012 eEdition of NRA and the Media Released
The 2012 eEdition of Brian Anse Patrick's National Rifle Association and the Media: The Motivating Force of Negative Coverage (Goatpower Publishing) has just been released on Amazon/Kindle for only $9.99.
The book contains a new foreword by the author and features a cover shot of Ohio super model Brooke Wagner. This is the groundbreaking book based on Dr. Patrick's dissertation research at University of Michigan that established him as national expert on the political mobilization of the new American Gun Culture.
"In releasing the eEdition," said Dr. Patrick, " I am concerned with affordability and access. Academic publishers sell their books at prohibitive prices mainly to university libraries. While this is fine, and I am proud to have my books in such collections, I would prefer making my research findings available to regular, real people who must spend only their own money to inform themselves. The new publishing media such as Amazon/Kindle have changed the informational sociology and made it easier for people to access materials that they need to interpret political reality for themselves. This is the true meaning of the word revolution."
