Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Making of Silk Purses From Sows' Ears: A Contribution to Philosophy When the time comes for it to make the Great Change, to transform itself from a gluttonous worm into a winged moth, to cease its gross existence as a creeping thing and to enter into an aerial life, to sip honey and to make love, it requires an envelope for hiding, for a dark and secret place, according to the command of Nature. From certain glands at the back of its head it ejects two minute threads of a viscous liquid which become coated with another secretion flowing from two other convenient glands, and these two little streams are thus cemented to a double strand.

Download or read book Technological Visions written by Marita Sturken and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as long as people have developed new technologies, there has been debate over the purposes, shape, and potential for their use. In this exciting collection, a range of contributors, including Sherry Turkle, Lynn Spigel, John Perry Barlow, Langdon Winner, David Nye, and Lord Asa Briggs, discuss the visions that have shaped "new" technologies and the cultural implications of technological adaptation. Focusing on issues such as the nature of prediction, community, citizenship, consumption, and the nation, as well as the metaphors that have shaped public debates about technology, the authors examine innovations past and present, from the telegraph and the portable television to the Internet, to better understand how our visions and imagination have shaped the meaning and use of technology.

This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical models attempt to describe and quantify relationships between variables. In the models presented in this chapter, there is a response variable (sometimes called dependent variable) and at least one predictor variable (sometimes called independent or explanatory variable). When investigating a possible cause-and-effect type of relationship, the response variable is the putative effect and the predictors are the hypothesized causes. Typically, there is a main predictor variable of interest; other predictors in the model are called covariates. Unknown covariates or other independent variables not controlled in an experiment or analysis can affect the dependent or outcome variable and mislead the conclusions made from the inquiry (Bock, Velleman, & De Veaux, 2009). A p value (p) measures the statistical significance of the observed relationship; given the model, p is the probability that a relationship is seen by mere chance. The smaller the p value, the more confident we can be that the pattern seen in the data 2 is not random. In the type of models examined here, the R measures the prop- tion of the variation in the response variable that is explained by the predictors 2 specified in the model; if R is close to 1, then almost all the variation in the response variable has been explained. This measure is also known as the multiple correlation coefficient. Statistical studies can be grouped into two types: experimental and observational.

Book excerpt: In her late 30s, Lucie Tanguay is a self-reliant, lippy livewire when her high-pressure, upscale Vancouver life suddenly and shockingly unravels. With help from one of her few trusted friends, Lucie gets out of town and starts looking... for what? She doesn’t know. Car trouble maroons her in the small town of Sweetgrass, Alberta, where she takes a temporary job in a local café. She begins soaking in the natural beauty and drama of her surroundings, and comes to form close bonds with people in town. Sweetgrass becomes as much a state of mind for Lucie as a place she just might want to call home. She falls in love in a brand-new way, her world-view utterly altered. Then a series of frightening events causes another seismic shift in Lucie’s life, thrusting her into danger and suspicion – a terrifying situation in which she must learn to balance her long-held toughness with her newfound faith in love. A lyrical, contemporary romantic drama, The Sow’s Ear Café tracks one woman’s path to healing through spectacular landscape, friends, and love.
