Vi vill med denna bok uppmärksamma stämpelyxor, märkhammare och timmermärken som använts inom svenskt skogsbruk fram till 1970-talet. Stämpelyxorna användes för att markera träd som skulle avverkas, medan märkhamrarna användes för att märka stockar före flottning eller annan vidaretransport. Timmermärkningen var en förutsättning för att planering, avverkning och transporter skulle fungera, för att säljarna skulle få betalt och för att virket skulle komma rätt köpare tillhanda. Dessa redskap hade spelat ut sin roll när flottningen upphörde i älvarna och inmätningen av virke under 1970-talet flyttades till industrierna. Under 1940- och 1950-talen flottades i genomsnitt cirka 140 miljoner stockar per år. Dessa var märkta med upp till 18 timmermärken per stock, vilket betyder över 2 miljarder märken per år. Till dessa kommer stämpelmärken på träd som sannolikt uppgick till minst 100 miljoner märken per år. I flottningen arbetade under nämnda tidsperiod årligen cirka 40 000 personer. Nils Brasch, född 1951, är uppvuxen på ett jord- och skogsbruk i Sorunda, Nynäshamns kommun, och flyttade till Falun 1983. Han har arbetat som elingenjör, och på senare år, före pensioneringen, som fastighetsförvaltare. Nils är skogsägare och har ett genuint intresse för gamla tekniker, byggnads- och skogshistoria. Efter att på en auktion ha blivit ägare till en märkyxa utvecklades hans intresse, inte bara för att samla skogliga verktyg, utan även för deras historia och användning. Christer Karlsson, född 1953, är uppvuxen i Västerbotten och Ångermanland, men bor sedan 1988 på Sollerön i Dalarna. Han är jägmästare och har sedan 1988 arbetat med skogsforskning inom Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), med Siljansfors försökspark i Mora kommun som bas. Under denna tid har han även varit engagerad i Siljansfors skogsmuseum.

Social Foundations of the Mass Media is a historical examination of the intellectual debate over the extent of permissible freedom that should be allowed for the expression and discussion of conflicting ideas. The treatment begins with the ancient Egyptian concepts, extends through Middle Eastern writings, treats the Inquisition and concludes with modern concepts in the United States. Both the church and the state have long desired to repress dissident opinion fearing that their authority would be undermined. They have used persecution, laws, the courts and public opinion to try to impose their ideas upon an unwilling population. Thinkers from Aristotle to Zechariah Chafee, Jr., the renowned legal scholar at Harvard University, and Hugo Black, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, have had much to say about the role of journalists, writers and dissidents. Each of their ideas and those of many others appear in the Social Foundations of the Mass Media. The debate will continue well into the future, but the issues that have been raised over the centuries remain central to the debate today.

Before the advent of television, cinema offered serialized films as a source of weekly entertainment. This book traces the history from the days of silent screen heroines to the sound era's daring adventure serials, unearthing a thriving film culture beyond the self-contained feature. Through extensive archival research, Ilka Brasch details the aesthetic appeals of film serials within their context of marketing and exhibition, looking at how they adapted the pleasures of a flourishing crime fiction culture to both serial visual culture and the affordances of the media-modernity of the early 20th century. The study furthermore traces the relationship of film serials to the broadcast models of radio and television and thereby shows how film serials introduced modes of storytelling that informed popular culture even beyond the serial's demise.
