In Chapter 1, "The Birth of the Internet," the book delves into the origins of the internet, tracing its roots from ARPANET to the development of TCP/IP and the revolutionary birth of the World Wide Web. Chapter 2, "Connecting the World," showcases the internet's role in bridging global divides. From the rise of Internet Service Providers to the evolution of modems and the challenges of broadband accessibility, the chapter explores how connectivity became a fundamental part of our lives. The Dot-Com Boom comes alive in Chapter 3, exploring the exhilarating rise of e-commerce, the tumultuous Dot-Com Bubble, and the valuable lessons learned from its aftermath.

Chapter 6, "Internet Culture and Memes," takes readers on a tour of the internet's quirky and dynamic culture, examining the evolution of memes as a unique form of communication that has infiltrated popular culture. The future of the internet is unveiled in Chapter 7, where artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, privacy, and security challenges are discussed in the context of shaping our digital landscape. Chapter 8, "The Internet's Impact on Society," examines how the internet has both bridged and widened societal gaps, driving social and political movements, influencing education and work, and posing challenges related to access and equity. Chapter 9, "The Dark Side of the Internet," tackles the sobering aspects of cybercrime, hacking, online harassment, cyberbullying, and the mental health concerns brought about by excessive internet usage. "The Internet's Legacy" is celebrated in Chapter 10, as it reflects on how the internet has revolutionized communication, entertainment, and the very way we envision the future. The journey concludes with Chapter 11, where the book's authors offer a heartfelt and inspiring conclusion, celebrating the extraordinary narrative of the internet-a story of innovation, connectivity, and the power to shape human experience in ways that were once unimaginable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know absolutely nothing about The Internet, even if you think you do. Whether an expert or a ""newber,"" Post-Modem is guaranteed to tell you something you would have never known about The Internet without picking up this book. How did housewives in the 50s combine a turntable and a HAM radio to get Wi-Fi? What is the connection between ""Mad Men""'s Jon Hamm and AskJeeves? (hint: you might want to ask Jon Hamm ) Is Richard Dawkins real? How did Stalin create the first LOLCat via Sputnik? Post-Modem is the unabridged, unedited history of the Internet you've always needed. Rob Kutner (The Daily Show, Conan) says: "With an inspired mix of real historical texture, ballsy anachronism, countless whip-smart jokes, and spot-on 'archival photos, ' Jason Klamm spins a delightful John Hodgman-esque look at the Internet throughout history and today."

Book excerpt: Humans are extraordinary creatures, with the unique ability among animals to imitate and so copy from one another ideas, habits, skills, behaviours, inventions, songs, and stories. These are all memes, a term first coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. Memes, like genes, are replicators, and this enthralling book is an investigation of whether this link between genes and memes can lead to important discoveries about the nature of the inner self. Confronting the deepest questions about our inner selves, with all our emotions, memories, beliefs, and decisions, Susan Blackmore makes a compelling case for the theory that the inner self is merely an illusion created by the memes for the sake of replication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: From Individualism to the Individual treats finance as a social and cultural process, exploring the unseen side of academic discourse and the many obstacles the deeply entrenched elite puts in the way of alternative thinking. Opening with a detailed discussion of the role of ideology in the perpetuation of the limited methodological bias of the profession toward markets, the book then examines the more specific effects of such ideological limitations on theoretical and empirical research in finance. The authors develop alternative ways to examine finance both as a profession and as a field of inquiry. This book will be of particular value to researchers and practitioners working in finance, as well as those in other social science disciplines whose research relates to finance, culture and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyberactivism already has a rich history, but over the past decade the participatory web—with its de-centralized information/media sharing, portability, storage capacity, and user-generated content—has reshaped political and social change. Cyberactivism on the Participatory Web examines the impact of these new technologies on political organizing and protest across the political spectrum, from the Arab Spring to artists to far-right groups. Linking new information and communication technologies to possibilities for solidarity and action—as well as surveillance and control—in a context of global capital flow, war, and environmental crisis, the contributors to this volume provide nuanced analyses of the dramatic transformations in media, citizenship, and social movements taking place today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection analyzes the role of digital technology in contemporary society dialectically. While many authors, journalists, and commentators have argued that the internet and digital technologies will bring us democracy, equality, and freedom, digital culture often results in loss of privacy, misinformation, and exploitation. This collection challenges celebratory readings of digital technology by suggesting digital culture's potential is limited because of its fundamental relationship to oppressive social forces. The Dialectic of Digital Culture explores ways the digital realm challenges and reproduces power. The contributors provide innovative case studies of various phenomenon including #metoo, Etsy, mommy blogs, music streaming, sustainability, and net neutrality to reveal the reproduction of neoliberal cultural logics. In seemingly transformative digital spaces, these essays provide dialectical readings that challenge dominant narratives about technology and study specific aspects of digital culture that are often under explored.

This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set examines recent presidential and vice presidential debates, addresses how citizens make sense of these events in new media, and considers whether the evolution of these forms of consumption is healthy for future presidential campaigns—and for democracy. The presidential debates of 2016 underscored how television highlights candidates' and campaigns' messages, which provide fodder for citizens' widespread use of new media to "talk back" to campaigns and other citizens. Social media will continue to affect the way that campaign events like presidential debates are consumed by audiences and how they shape campaign outcomes. This two-volume study is one of the first to examine the relationship between debates as televised events and events consumed by citizens through social media. It also assesses the town hall debate format from 1992 to 2016, uses the lens of civil dialogue to consider how citizens watch the debates, and considers the growing impact of new media commentary on candidate images that emerge in presidential and vice presidential debates. Televised Presidential Debates in a Changing Media Environment features contributions from leading political communication scholars that illuminate how presidential debates are transforming from events that are privately contemplated by citizens, to events that are increasingly viewed and discussed by citizens through social media. The first volume focuses on traditional studies of debates as televised campaign events, and the second volume examines the changing audiences for debates as they become consumed and discussed by viewers outside the traditional channels of newspapers, cable news channels, and campaign messaging. Readers will contemplate questions of new forms, problems, and possibilities of political engagement that are resulting from citizens producing and consuming political messages in new media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War brought about new secessionist aspirations and the strengthening and re-awakening of existing or dormant separatist claims everywhere. The creation of a new independent entity through the separation of part of the territory and population of an existing State raises serious difficulties as to the role of international law. This book offers a comprehensive study of secession from an international law perspective, focusing on practice and applicable rules of international law. It includes theoretical analyses and a scrutiny of practice throughout the world by eighteen distinguished authors from Western and Eastern Europe, North and Sub-Saharan Africa, North and Latin America, and Asia. Core questions are addressed from different perspectives, and in some cases with divergent views. The reader is also exposed to a far-reaching picture of State practice, including some cases which are rarely mentioned and often neglected in scholarly analysis of secession.
