We explore discriminatory product differentiation by international airlines through their depictions of Israel on online route maps and whether their online inflight menus include kosher meal options.

  • Ralph Steadman

    Ralph Steadman

    VISITING PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY RALPH STEADMAN Ralph Steadman was born in 1936 in Wallasey, Cheshire. He began his career as a cartoonist satirising the British social and political scene of the 60s. In the 1970s, responding to what he called ‘the screaming lifestyle of America’ he teamed up with Hunter S. Thompson which resulted in his iconic drawings for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and collaborations ranging from The Kentucky Derby to The Curse of Lono. Many of his drawings were to be seen in Rolling Stone magazine and he produced his book of collected impressions of America in 1974. Over the years his work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines, from Punch and Private Eye in the early years to the New Statesman, The New Yorker and the Independent where he illustrated a series of weekly essays by Will Self called Psychogeography which resulted in two books. Early in his career he turned his creative energy to the literary classics, beginning with Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass and then on to other works including Treasure Island, Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451. He then turned to the lives of Sigmund Freud and Leonardo da Vinci reinterpreting their genius in both words and drawings. His book, The Big I Am, tells the story of mankind beginning with the creation. He wrote Doodaaa in 2002, partly satire and partly autobiography and The Joke’s Over, the account of his relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, in 2006. Much of the 1990s was spent travelling the vineyards and distilleries of the world for Oddbins, the wine merchant.

Burns Armadillo & Dicker Books www.burnsbizarre.com “When you try to say something in pictures, it gains a dimension that language can’t match. I like that.” --Ralph Steadman, 2013 This guide assembles information from more than 30 years of dealer catalogs, auction records, other published checklists and bibliographies, and online marketplaces such as EBay, AbeBooks.com, and ViaLibri.net. The first two sections – books that Ralph wrote or illustrated -- are complete, including all foreign editions. The remaining sections are representative selections -- though still quite comprehensive. I have omitted commercial products unless they were "done to spec." That is, if Ralph designed a mug, t-shirt, or other object for a specific client or to commemorate a special event it may be here. Commercial products that simply use or appropriate one of Ralph's images, whether officially licensed or not, are omitted.

One of MAVCOM’s principal objectives contained in the Malaysian Aviation Commission Act 2015 Part X under Consumer Protection is to safeguard the rights of consumers in the aviation industry. A survey conducted by MAVCOM in 2016 revealed that 69% of respondents have a misconception of what their rights entail versus what their rights actually are. Many were also under the incorrect assumption that the terms and conditions set by aviation service providers is a representation of their ‘rights’. This emphasises the importance of the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code 2016 (MACPC), the first in the history of Malaysia’s aviation industry. The MACPC provides for more transparency and clearer guidance on consumer rights and how to exercise these rights relating to flight delays, flight cancellation, mishandled baggage and other flight incidents.
