Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

Download or read book Main Street written by Sinclair Lewis and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Milford grows up in a mid-sized town in Minnesota before moving to Chicago for college. After her education, during which she’s exposed to big-city life and culture, she moves to Minneapolis to work as a librarian. She soon meets Will Kennicott, a small-town doctor, and the two get married and move to Gopher Prairie, Kennicott’s home town. Carol, inspired by big-city ideas, soon begins chafing at the seeming quaintness and even backwardness of the townsfolk, and their conservative, self-satisfied way of life. She struggles to try to reform the town in her image, while finding meaning in the seeming cultural desert she’s found herself in and in her increasingly cold marriage. Gopher Prairie is a detailed, satirical take on small-town American life, modeled after Sauk Centre, the town in which Lewis himself grew up. The town is fully realized, with generations of inhabitants interacting in a complex web of village society. Its bitingly satirical portrayal made Main Street highly acclaimed by its contemporaries, though many thought the satirical take was perhaps a bit too dark and hopeless. The book’s celebration and condemnation of small town life make it a candidate for the title of the Great American Novel. Main Street was awarded the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, but the decision was overturned by the prize’s Board of Trustees and awarded instead to Edith Wharton for The Age of Innocence. When Lewis went on to win the 1926 Pulitzer for Arrowsmith, he declined it—with the New York Times reporting that he did so because he was still angry at the Pulitzers for being denied the prize for Main Street. Despite the book’s snub at the Pulitzers, Lewis went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, with Main Street being cited as one of the reasons for his win.

Book excerpt: Allens proven ability and flare for presenting complex and oftentimes sensitive topics in nonthreatening ways carry over in the latest edition of Difference Matters. Her down-to-earth analysis of six social identity categories reveals how communication establishes and enacts identity and power dynamics. She provides historical overviews to show how perceptions of gender, race, social class, sexuality, ability, and age have varied throughout time and place. Allen clearly explains pertinent theoretical perspectives and illustrates those and other discussions with real-life experiences (many of which are her own). She also offers practical guidance for how to communicate difference more humanely. While many examples are from organizational contexts, readers from a wide range of backgrounds can relate to them and appreciate their relevance. This eye-opening, vibrant text, suitable for use in a variety of disciplines, motivates readers to think about valuing difference as a positive, enriching feature of society. Interactive elements such as Spotlights on Media, I.D. Checks, Tool Kits, and Reflection Matters questions awaken interest, awareness, and creative insights for change.

He developed techniques for improving and managing self-image visualization, mental rehearsal and relaxation which have informed and inspired countless motivational gurus, sports psychologists, and self-help practitioners for more than sixty years. Rooted in solid science, the classic teachings in Psycho-Cybernetics continue to provide a prescription for thinking and acting that lead to life-enhancing, quantifiable results.

Download or read book Real Life Rock written by Greil Marcus and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Washington Post hails Greil Marcus as our greatest cultural critic. Writing in the London Review of Books, D. D. Guttenplan calls him probably the most astute critic of American popular culture since Edmund Wilson. For nearly thirty years, he has written a remarkable column that has migrated from the Village Voice to Artforum, Salon, City Pages, Interview, and The Believer and currently appears in the Barnes & Noble Review. It has been a laboratory where Marcus has fearlessly explored and wittily dissected an enormous variety of cultural artifacts, from songs to books to movies to advertisements, teasing out from the welter of everyday objects what amounts to a de facto theory of cultural transmission. Published to complement the paperback edition of The History of Rock & Roll in Ten Songs, Real Life Rock reveals the critic in full: direct, erudite, funny, fierce, vivid, astute, uninhibited, and possessing an unerring instinct for art and fraud. The result is an indispensable volume packed with startling arguments and casual brilliance.
Download or read book Man s Fate and God s Choice written by Bhimeswara Challa and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world today is facing a bewildering array of problems where human behavior is both brazen and bizarre. Those who are searching for a way out are daring to ask fundamental questions: What is man’s rightful place? Are we a doomed species? Is God becoming weary of mankind? In Man’s Fate and God’s Choice, Bhimeswara Challa shares his comprehensive study of human behavior that suggests that the very paradigm of our thinking is inappropriate for the current challenges we face. In a thoughtful, innovative presentation of ideas, Challa posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest level, ultimately reawakening the intelligence of the human heart. He begins by examining the greatest challenge of this generation of human beings and continues by placing the multiple identities of man in perspective, reviewing our growing insensitivity to human suffering. Finally, he looks to the living world for inspiration, metaphors, and models for human transformation. Man’s Fate and God’s Choice incisively covers an array of issues and proposes an agenda for action as it challenges those who see misery and ask “Why?” to also see the promise in the rainbow and then ask “Why not?”

Download or read book The Times of the Gentiles Are Fulfilled written by Fred Harding and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle East History as you have never seen it before with over 200 illustrations to enhance your reading experience across more than 640 pages. This is probably the most historically accurate and comprehensive study of the Times of the Gentiles ever produced. It does not adhere to any theological preferences or make reference to the Book of Revelation, so often used by Christian theologians to support a particular interpretation. Instead, I have followed the historical evidence to where it has led and as a result I have reached some startling and amazing conclusions. If there is any book that the reader should read on this subject it is this one. By the time you have finished reading it you will be in the enviable position to truly appreciate what is happening in the Middle East today and where it is leading to. Today's news stories of the region will now make more sense, and you will see the world with different eyes. This book is written for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike but primarily seen through the eyes of the Jews, because it is they who have been trampled upon by the nations for almost two thousand years, throughout the Times of the Gentiles. This tragedy that has prevailed for this long period of time has been of the Jews own making. Throughout the ages they have been led by a rabbinical elite who have instigated the greatest cover up in history, who even to modified their holy writings, the Tanakh (Old Testament), to cover their tracks. Not only did they know when the Messiah would come but when he did, they conspired to put him to death. So, Yahshua ben Joseph better known as Jesus prophesised against them, condemning the Jews to a long period of Gentile servitude as a precursor to His return. It is against the backdrop of Jerusalem being trampled upon by the nations that we follow the fortunes of the Jews as they were scattered among the nations struggling to understand why God had abandoned them for so long. We see how and why the Jews were temporarily cut off from the blessings of a relationship with God which was given to the Gentiles. We also see how corruption entered the Christian communities so that one Church emerged from the ruins of Rome and changed the simplicity of the Gospel to teach doctrines of demons, including one that would forever be a stumbling block to the Jews. We shall see prophesies and history merge in incredible ways and the words of Jesus and the Hebrew prophets coming alive. They tell of the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple; the coming of the false Messiah, the building of the abomination of desolation where it should not be; the scattering of the Jews to all the nations; how God thwarted the building of the Third Temple several times; the appearance of the Suffering Messiah, the rise of the false Prophet and a Muslim king that entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate on a donkey; the sealing of the gate and the attempts to open it continuously foiled; Palestine becoming a desolate wasteland; the gathering of the Jews from the nations by an ungodly Zionist secular government, the creation of Israel in a single day; the link between the Cuban Crisis and end of the Gentile Times, the miracle of the Six-Day war; the recovery of all the lands that had been ancient Israel in former times; the extraordinary events on the Temple Mount in 1967 - and so on. All of which was foretold by the Jesus and the prophets. In fact, what you will read is an extraordinary story, full of twists and turns, in which we see God intervening in human affairs as he ensures that His Divine Plan for the redemption of mankind through his Messiah continues unhindered. Whether you follow Judaism, Christianity or Islam, this is one book that you will not want to ignore.
