When Thomas Noronha, a professor of history and an expert cryptographer, is called upon to finish an unresolved investigation involving an aged scholar who is found mysteriously dead in his hotel room, his life takes several unexpected and dramatic turns. As Thomas slowly begins to unravel the cryptograms and enigmas that shroud the old professor's work, he finds a code that could possibly change the course of historical scholarship: Moloc Ninundia Omastoos In his quest to decipher this mysterious code, Thomas travels around the world from Lisbon to Rio, New York, and Jerusalem. He quickly immerses himself in the fascinating history of the discovery of the Americas, and the one enigma that no historian has ever been able to solve: the true identity of Christopher Columbus. Mesmerizing in the way in which it reinterprets history most have come to regard as fact, Codex 632 reveals what could be one of the greatest historical misinterpretations of all time.
Transnational Streaming Television

Examining the impact of streaming on the global production and flow of television and film, this book provides an innovative theoretical framework to conceptualize how asymmetric dynamics of power play out in the era of global streaming. This book analyses Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, two tech-based digital native streamers, and compares them to Disney+ and HBO Max (Warner Bros. Discovery), two legacy Hollywood studios with cable TV, and broadcasting operations, now pursuing global streaming. The book compares their different models of operation and specifically explores how these four streamers, particularly Netflix, are co-producing and commissioning television programs and films in an increasing number of countries. It also examines how this trend is creating new opportunities for independent producers and soft power for the producing nations. This book further considers the direct algorithmic targeting of individuals by their genre preferences across boundaries of culture, language, and nation, boundaries that previously protected national and regional television markets, creating a new flow of data colonialism. At a more local level, the book also examines some of the national and regional streaming platforms emerging in some of the key players in the Global South: Brazil, India, and Mexico. This is essential reading for students, researchers and academics interested in media studies, global media, and global television studies.
