Digital inspection copies of Jeffrey Weinstock's  /Pop Culture for 
Beginners/ textbook are available using this link: 
https://broadviewpress.com/product/pop-culture-for-beginners/#tab-description 



"Weinstock does a great job of introducing and reintroducing pop culture 
and does so in a relatable, humorous, and enjoyable way; in fact, I 
often forgot I was reading a textbook. While he presents an academic 
study of pop culture, he does so without abandoning the mystique and 
enjoyment most people find in pop culture. He challenges 
readers/students to examine their own cultural lens while encouraging us 
to think outside of the story presented to develop larger meanings. This 
book would be an excellent introductory book for pop culture studies (or 
really any studies) as it is easy to digest, thought-provoking, and just 
plain fun. Having said that, I study the intersection of science fiction 
and science interest (how does science fiction draw people to science), 
and I found this book a nice refresher and reminder of the broader 
contexts I am researching. Therefore, I recommend it to all academics, 
from those just starting to those who have been in the field for a while."
