This book examines how television has been transformed over the past twenty years by the introduction of new viewing technologies including DVDs, DVRs and streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. It shows that these platforms have profoundly altered the ways we access and watch television, enabling viewers to pause, rewind, record and archive the once irreversible flow of broadcast TV. JP Kelly argues that changes in the technological landscape of television has encouraged the production of narrative forms that both explore and embody new industrial temporalities. Focusing on US television but also considering the role of TV within a global marketplace, the author identifies three distinct narrative temporalities: “acceleration” (24; Prison Break), “complexity” (Lost; FlashForward), and “retrospection” (Mad Men). Through industrial-textual analysis of television shows, this cross-disciplinary study locates these narrative temporalities in their socio-cultural contexts and examines connections between production, distribution, and narrative form in the contemporary television industry.

Surveys have found that 10% of college football players [1] and 20% of high school football players [2] experience concussions in a given football season. That translates to more than 250 000 concussions per year in football alone. The Sports Medicine Committee of the Colorado Medical Society drafted the "Guidelines for the Management of Concussion in Sports" that have subsequently been endorsed by several national physician organizations and widely distributed for the use of coaches, trainers, and allied health personnel as well as physicians. These guidelines are consistent with available evidence in clinical and research literature as well as consensus formed by medical experts.

Beth Henderson sought vengeance for her brother's brutal death. What she found was a nightmare older than memory. Mickey "The Mallet" Henderson was hard to kill. What the police find on the moor isn't just a body - it's a ruin, frozen from the inside out. For DI Arlo Carver, it's the start of an investigation into impossible violence. For Mickey's sister Beth, it's a call to arms. But the killer isn't human. It's a shadow moving through the dark, an entity of absolute cold drawn to the heat of rage and violence. It hunts the hunters, the strong, the dangerous. And it leaves behind only frost and terror. When the entity brands Beth, forging a psychic link that bleeds cold into her soul, she becomes its greatest challenger and its most desired prey. Teaming with a cynical detective and a scholar of the forbidden, Beth is thrust into a desperate battle against a force that defies understanding. A force that evolves, learns, and spreads - first as a god of frost, then as a chilling, adaptive intelligence blooming in the vulnerable. How do you fight winter itself? A visceral, terrifying journey from the desolate moors to the heart of a glacial tomb, where the cost of survival is etched in frost and silence.
