David Trend is Professor of Studio Art at the University of California-Irvine. He is the author of The Myth of Media Violence (Blackwell 2007).
“Trend’s examples are rich, from consumerism to popular television shows and amusement parks, and relatable to the lives of the intended audience, allowing his readers to understand the meaning of “worlding” not just as a concept but also as a phenomenon that they experience. The book’s research and focus are interdisciplinary, integrating sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, and media studies, to name a few…the book is also pertinent to science, technology, and society. Summing Up: Recommended.” —CHOICE
