Exploring the relationship between postindustrial writing and developments in energy production, manufacturing, and agriculture, Michael J. Salvo shows how technological and industrial innovation relies on communicative and organizational suppleness. Through representative case studies, Salvo demonstrates the ways in which technical communicators formulate opportunities that link resources with need. His book is a supple articulation of the opportunities and pitfalls that come with great change.

Reviews for Writing Postindustrial Places: Technoculture amid the Cornfields

"""Marr presents fresh interpretations that shed new light on well-known works, offering insights for seasoned scholars of Spanish cultural studies, disability studies, and/or studies of aging, as well as an accessible entry point for non-specialists. The book will be a crucial source for future studies of the six films analyzed, and the individual chapters will also be useful for graduate and advanced undergraduate seminars on Spanish film and disability studies. - Julie Avril Minich, Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies, The University of Texas at Austin, USA ""Marr is also a perceptive reader of detail and he masterfully combines a close textual analysis of the films chosen with wider focus on disability. The Politics of Age and Disability in Contemporary Spanish Film is a key text for those interested in expanding on current themes addressed by Spanish Cultural Studies."" - Tatjana Pavlovic, Bulletin of Hispanic Cultural Studies, Tulane University, USA ""Marr's oppositional analysis of film's formal properties is welcome not merely because of his rich engagement with the film as an artistic test, but also because of what it reveals about the insufficiency of some approaches to disability."" - Benjamin Fraser, Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, East Carolina University, USA"
