Book excerpt: From the author of the award-winning The Master Switch, who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time. "Dazzling." —Financial Times Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Book excerpt: The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. These scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers. Merchants of Doubt tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly-some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is "not settled" denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. "Doubt is our product," wrote one tobacco executive. These "experts" supplied it. Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.

Download or read book Merchants written by Edmond Smith and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history of English trade and empire—revealing how a tightly woven community of merchants was the true origin of globalized Britain In the century following Elizabeth I’s rise to the throne, English trade blossomed as thousands of merchants launched ventures across the globe. Through the efforts of these "mere merchants," England developed from a peripheral power on the fringes of Europe to a country at the center of a global commercial web, with interests stretching from Virginia to Ahmadabad and Arkhangelsk to Benin. Edmond Smith traces the lives of English merchants from their earliest steps into business to the heights of their successes. Smith unpicks their behavior, relationships, and experiences, from exporting wool to Russia, importing exotic luxuries from India, and building plantations in America. He reveals that the origins of "global" Britain are found in the stories of these men whose livelihoods depended on their skills, entrepreneurship, and ability to work together to compete in cutthroat international markets. As a community, their efforts would come to revolutionize Britain’s relationship with the world.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Law Merchant and Negotiability, Vol. 3 Although the actual origin of the Law Merchant is enveloped in obscurity, this much may be said with certainty, it existed in its early stages as a body of varying customs obtaining among a certain class of the population - the class of merchants. As the number of the merchants increased, so the existence of these customs became more pronounced, with the result that they gradually became of sufficient importance to be generally recognised by the king's court, and finally to be included in the general law of the land. A notable peculiarity of the Law Merchant in its earlier stages was its international character combined with its administration as purely local custom, at the same time it partook of the nature of the widest and of almost the narrowest system of law. According to Blackstone, the English common law consisted of general customs, particular customs, and customs recognised by special jurisdictions - such as that of the Admiralty courts. In the earlier stages of our legal history particular customs, where they occurred, formed a kind of local common law, which was recognised, determined, and administered by purely local courts, but it is a historical fact that the king's courts gradually extended their own jurisdiction by encroaching upon that of the local courts, and conse quently the king's judges became well acquainted with many of the more important local customs, and afterwards were prepared to accord them full judicial recognition. One of the most striking illustrations of this is to be found in the final and complete judicial recognition of the custom of gavelkind.
