Books+Publishing
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is ''codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained. Each part of Aristotle's ''Physics'' is called a bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Background Podcasting, and in particular true-crime related podcasts which deal primarily with serial murders, kidnappings, disappearances, and unsolved crimes, became popular as a media format in Australia starting in 2016.

Most detail individual cases across a short series of episodes (e.g. ''Cop Tales'' at 1 episode) while others (e.g. ''Australian True Crime'') issue individual, or sometimes serial, episodes on different cases weekly. Most podcasts act to provide background detail on already well known cases (e.g. ''A Perfect Storm'' and the Chamberlain case) while also updating cases for recent developments, investigations, or trials (e.g. ''Claremont: The Trial''). Others, particularly with cold cases, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
