  • Directory of California Ethnic Media, Which Lists Almost 300 News Outlets — Print, Broadcast, Digital — Across the State
    NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Ethnic Media Services, founded in 2018 to sustain and build on the work of New America Media, is pleased to publish our Directory of California Ethnic Media, which lists almost 300 news outlets — print, broadcast, digital — across the state. We are grateful for the support of key partners including California Black Media, ImpreMedia, Hoopa Radio, and the Center for Community & Ethnic Media, in compiling this list. The Directory aims to expand access to the sector at a time when communicating with California’s diverse communities has become more urgent than ever amidst the rollout of the 2020 census, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic turmoil it has generated. This Directory is a work-in-progress — in today’s highly fluid media landscape, we will update the online information monthly. Thanks to support from the Complete Count Committee Office 2020 Census and several national funders, we were able to expand our research and discover ethnic media platforms we never knew existed: podcasts, radio stations, weeklies, online news sites serving newly settled immigrants and long-siloed ethnic groups. The takeaway from our daily interactions with the sector is that despite the collapse of the business model that has decimated all media, the ethnic news outlets are determined to survive to inform and advocate for their audiences. Some of those outlets have been in opera- tion for decades while others are much newer. Their resilience is inspiring. Their role in creating an inclusive communications infrastruc- ture for this state is indispensable. We look forward to replicating the California Directory with a national listing of our ethnic media partners later this year.

Softcover. 17 x 24 cm. 78.00 Euro The origins of dynamical systems trace back to flows and differential equations, and this is a modern text and reference on dynamical systems in which continuous-time dynamics is primary. It addresses needs unmet by modern books on dynamical systems, which largely focus on discrete time. Students have lacked a useful introduction to flows, and researchers have difficulty finding references to cite for core results in the theory of flows. Even when these are known substantial diligence and consulta- tion with experts is often needed to find them. This book presents the theory of flows from the topological, smooth, and measurable points of view. The first part introduces the general topological and ergodic theory of flows, and the second part presents the core theory of hyperbolic flows as well as a range of recent developments.
