Book Synopsis Books and Social Media by : Miriam J. Johnson
Download or read book Books and Social Media written by Miriam J. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social media and digital technologies are transforming what and how we read. Books and Social Media considers the way in which readers and writers come together in digital communities to discover and create new works of fiction. This new way of engaging with fiction stretches the boundaries of what has been considered a book in the past by moving beyond the physical or even digitally bound object to the consideration of content, containers, and the ability to share. Using empirical data and up-to-date research methods, Miriam Johnson introduces the ways in which digitally social platforms give rise to a new type of citizen author who chooses to sidestep the industry’s gatekeepers and share their works directly with interested readers on social platforms. Gender and genre, especially, play a key role in developing the communities in which these authors write. The use of surveys, interviews, and data mining brings to the fore issues of gender, genre, community, and power, which highlight the push and pull between these writers and the industry. Questioning what we always thought we knew about what makes a book and traditional publishing channels, this book will be of interest to anyone studying or researching publishing, book history, print cultures, and digital and contemporary literatures.
Book Synopsis Every Book Its Reader by : Nicholas A. Basbanes
Download or read book Every Book Its Reader written by Nicholas A. Basbanes and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2006-12-12 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by a landmark exhibition mounted by the British Museum in 1963 to celebrate five eventful centuries of the printed word, Nicholas A. Basbanes offers a lively consideration of writings that have "made things happen" in the world, works that have both nudged the course of history and fired the imagination of countless influential people. In his fifth work to examine a specific aspect of book culture, Basbanes also asks what we can know about such figures as John Milton, Edward Gibbon, John Locke, Isaac Newton, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Adams, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Henry James, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller––even the notorious Marquis de Sade and Adolf Hitler––by knowing what they have read. He shows how books that many of these people have consulted, in some cases annotated with their marginal notes, can offer tantalizing clues to the evolution of their character and the development of their thought.

Book Synopsis If the Tomb Is Empty by : Joby Martin
Download or read book If the Tomb Is Empty written by Joby Martin and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved pastor and a New York Times bestselling author examine scripture and share inspiring personal stories to help reveal the important role that Jesus’ resurrection plays in our everyday lives. The Son of God was crucified, died and buried, and He lay in the tomb for three days—until He walked out shining like the sun. In a culture in which history is erased or rewritten at will, the existence of an empty tomb matters. Why? Because if the tomb is empty—then anything is possible. In his first book, Joby Martin, Lead Pastor of The Church of Eleven22, dives deep into scripture and traces the story of salvation by highlighting the seven mountains throughout scripture where God manifests himself. As he describes each encounter with God, Martin shows us how the interaction on each mountain laid the groundwork for the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and shows what God revealed about Himself in the process. He illuminates seven familiar passages, unveiling how God's plan for Christ's sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture, and shows why Christ's resurrection—impossible, unbelievable—means that nothing is too hard for our God. Ultimately, he asks readers, Do you live every day of your life as if the tomb is empty—or as though Jesus is still hanging on that cross? Written with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, If the Tomb is Empty is an insightful and spiritually rich examination of what the miracle of Christ's resurrection means for all of us.
Book Synopsis Hunger for the Printed Word by : David Shavit
Download or read book Hunger for the Printed Word written by David Shavit and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1997 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years leading up to World War II, libraries played an increasingly significant role in the culture lives of East European Jews. With secondary education largely closed to them, particularly in Poland, and private schools beyond the means of most families, libraries were the center of education for many Jewish youth. The war worsened conditions for East European Jews and made libraries even more important. Amid the squalor, books provided many with an opportunity to escape for a while and offered renewed hope and willpower. Maintaining libraries was also an act of resistance, helping the people keep a hold on their humanity and a cultural link with the past. This work details the story of libraries in five of the largest ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe: Lodz' and Warsaw in Poland, Kovno and Vilna in Lithuania, and Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia.
Book Synopsis William Bradford's Books by : Douglas Anderson
Download or read book William Bradford's Books written by Douglas Anderson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-01-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as the most important narrative of seventeenth-century New England, William Bradford's Of Plimmoth Plantation is one of the founding documents of American literature and history. In William Bradford's Books this portrait of the religious dissenters who emigrated from the Netherlands to New England in 1620 receives perhaps its sharpest textual analysis to date—and the first since that of Samuel Eliot Morison two generations ago. Far from the gloomy elegy that many readers find, Bradford's history, argues Douglas Anderson, demonstrates remarkable ambition and subtle grace, as it contemplates the adaptive success of a small community of religious exiles. Anderson offers fresh literary and historical accounts of Bradford's accomplishment, exploring the context and the form in which the author intended his book to be read.
Book Synopsis Shut Hell Up by : Real Talk Kim (Kimberly Jones-Pothier)
Download or read book Shut Hell Up written by Real Talk Kim (Kimberly Jones-Pothier) and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR KIMBERLY JONES-POTHIER AKA REAL TALK KIM If you want breakthrough, you have to break through! Most people struggle to assume the best of themselves. And their poor self-concept is only made worse by their past mistakes, poor choices, and failures. Kimberly has heard the inner voice that continually says, “You can’t.” And she’s learned how to shut it up. Known for telling it like it is, Real Talk Kim, as Jones-Pothier is known, challenges readers to stare inadequacy in the face and say, “Not today!” Exposing her own messes and failures, she leads readers on a journey to overcome the negative thinking, fear, loneliness, disappointment, and wrong view of self that have led to their feelings of inadequacy so they can walk in the fullness of God’s purpose for them. The enemy is always going to tell people what they can and cannot do. He’s always going to play into their fears and regrets. Jones-Pothier reveals the truths that will silence the accuser and empower readers to stop being ruled by their emotions, make choices from a place of confidence instead of doubt and insecurity, realize that God’s plan is bigger than their past, reject the labels others have placed on them, let God determine who they are, and stop being a victim and find the freedom to be themselves. Breakthroughs don’t come without a fight. Anyone who wants a breakthrough has to break through—they have to act. Providing practical tools that lead to victory, Shut Hell Up shows readers how to stop seeing themselves as inadequate and embrace who God says they are. When you feel not enough, God says I AM ENOUGH. This book will help you use what God says about you to fight negative self-talk and lies from the enemy.

Book Synopsis The Coming of the Book by : Lucien Febvre
Download or read book The Coming of the Book written by Lucien Febvre and published by Verso. This book was released on 1997 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books, and the printed word more generally, are aspects of modern life that are all too often taken for granted. Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity. In this much praised history of that process, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, as well as the study of modes of consciousness, to root the development of the printed word in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe.
Download or read book The Glass Cage written by Nicholas Carr and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Glass Cage, Pulitzer Prize nominee and bestselling author Nicholas Carr shows how the most important decisions of our lives are now being made by machines and the radical effect this is having on our ability to learn and solve problems. In May 2009 an Airbus A330 passenger jet equipped with the latest ‘glass cockpit’ controls plummeted 30,000 feet into the Atlantic. The reason for the crash: the autopilot had routinely switched itself off. In fact, automation is everywhere – from the thermostat in our homes and the GPS in our phones to the algorithms of High Frequency Trading and self-driving cars. We now use it to diagnose patients, educate children, evaluate criminal evidence and fight wars. But psychological studies show that we perform best when fully involved in a task, while the principle of automation – that humans are inefficient – is self-fulfilling. The glass cockpit is becoming a glass cage. In this utterly engrossing exposé, bestselling writer Nicholas Carr reveals how automation is affecting our ability to solve problems, forge memories and acquire skills. Rather than rejecting technology, Carr argues that we must urgently rethink its role in our lives, using it to enhance rather than diminish the extraordinary abilities that make us human.
Book Synopsis Congreve, the Drama, and the Printed Word by : Julie Stone Peters
Download or read book Congreve, the Drama, and the Printed Word written by Julie Stone Peters and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late seventeenth century, theater and print began the history of their tense relations and imperfect alliance. Plays, of course, had been printed in England for more than a century. However, it was not until the printing of fine editions of English playwrights, by Tonson and others, that it became common for dramatists to worry over the details of both performace and print and to supervise closely the publication of their own works. The theater was joining itself to the page, defining itself against the printed word. The author's focus is the most active phase of the career of William Congreve, a crucial juncture in the history of print and publishing, the two decades before the 1710 Copyright Act, when the book trade was becoming a large, intricate, and lucrative commercial business. Congreve's work in the theater began to yield to his work with the book trade (not only as playwright but also as poet, scholar, translator, and editor), culminating in the three-volume edition of his Works in 1710.
Book Synopsis Poe and the Printed Word by : Kevin J. Hayes
Download or read book Poe and the Printed Word written by Kevin J. Hayes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-25 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe continues to be a fascinating literary figure to students and scholars alike. Increasingly the focus of study pushes beyond the fright and amusement of his famous tales and seeks to locate the author within the culture of his time. In Poe and the Printed Word, Kevin Hayes explores the relationship between various facets of print culture and Poe's writings. His study provides a fuller picture of Poe's life and works by examining how the publishing opportunities of his time influenced his development as a writer. Hayes demonstrates how Poe employed different methods of publication as a showcase for his verse, criticism and fiction. Beginning with Poe's early exposure to the printed word, and ending with the ambitious magazine and book projects of his final years, this reappraisal of Poe's career provides an engaging account that is part biography, part literary history and part history of the book.
