<P>Taking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape.</P><P>Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services. Further, the authors provide evidence of Amazon''s multiple influences on politics, economics, and culture.</P><P>With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy.</P>
