Book Synopsis Keep Calm and Log On by : Gillian "Gus" Andrews
Download or read book Keep Calm and Log On written by Gillian "Gus" Andrews and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to survive the digital revolution without getting trampled: your guide to online mindfulness, digital self-empowerment, cybersecurity, creepy ads, trustworthy information, and more. Feeling overwhelmed by an avalanche of online content? Anxious about identity theft? Unsettled by the proliferation of fake news? Welcome to the digital revolution. Wait—wasn't the digital revolution supposed to make our lives better? It was going to be fun and put the world at our fingertips. What happened? Keep Calm and Log On is a survival handbook that will help you achieve online mindfulness and overcome online helplessness—the feeling that tech is out of your control—with tips for handling cybersecurity, creepy ads, untrustworthy information, and much more. Taking a cue from the famous World War II morale-boosting slogan (“Keep Calm and Carry On”), Gus Andrews shows us how to adapt the techniques our ancestors used to survive hard times, so we can live our best lives online. She explains why media and technology stress us out, and offers empowering tools for coping. Mindfulness practices can help us stay calm and conserve our attention purposefully. Andrews shares the secret of understanding our own opinions'' “family trees” in order to identify misleading “fake news.” She provides tools for unplugging occasionally, overcoming feelings that we are “bad at technology,” and taking charge of our security and privacy. Andrews explains how social media algorithms keep us from information we need and why “creepy ads” seem to follow us online. Most importantly, she urges us to work to rebuild the trust in our communities that the internet has broken.

Book Synopsis Learning Solution-Focused Therapy by : Anne Bodmer Lutz, B.S.N., M.D.
Download or read book Learning Solution-Focused Therapy written by Anne Bodmer Lutz, B.S.N., M.D. and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solution-focused therapy is an evidenced-based practice that focuses on creating conversations that build solutions, rather than solve problems. Learning Solution-Focused Therapy: An Illustrated Guide teaches readers how to practice and become competent in conducting solution-focused therapy, an area of growing interest as the emphasis on brief therapy increases. Critical to the book's learning strategy is the generous use of case illustrations that are detailed, rich, and instructive without being overly didactic. The case approach provides an effective means for seeing concepts put into practice, and since medicine is becoming more patient-focused, the solution-focused therapy model is highly relevant. Organized to show how a solution-focused interview is conducted, the book presents the basic model and goes on to apply this model in psychopharmacology, addiction, supervision and consultation. Each chapter combines readings, solution-focused questions, case illustrations, learning exercises and video demonstrations (available online), which together constitute a comprehensive course in this therapeutic modality. Moreover, the author's conversational writing style makes the tenets and techniques accessible and interesting to a wide variety of clinicians. Learning Solution-Focused Therapy: An Illustrated Guide will appeal to clinicians who wish to enhance their skills and support their patients' growth in a positive way.

When you start on the right foot and know what to expect, research writing would still be painful but a whole lot less painful.

It is not uncommon to hear of PhD and Master's students giving up halfway… but this fate does not need to befall you. This book provides the necessary cognitive toolkits to help you chart your research destiny and to help you strategise and overcome many of the challenges that graduate scholars experience in their research journey. You may be able to save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars along the way. What people are saying about the book “Every page of Dr. Yoong’s book brought back memories of my Ph.D. program in the early 1970 at a Midwestern U.S. university. More specifically, it brought back memories of fellow students who did not complete the program. Reading this book before or during their studies would have helped many of them be successful. I hope to ensure that students entering our Ph.D. program read this publication. It would be even more beneficial if they read it before making a decision to pursue a doctorate.” Professor Dr. Douglas A. Boyd Emeritus Professor of Communication University of Kentucky Lexington, KY, U.S.A. “In 3 Years for a PhD? Professor Yoong provides a highly accessible reflection and practical guide through the journey of a PhD. Drawing from personal experience undertaking his PhD in Australia and as a supervisor, the book takes us through the personal and intellectual attributes required and developed in undertaking a PhD, as well as the people encountered at various stages on the way to completing a successful thesis and embarking on a research career. I really enjoyed the book, it is written in an accessible style with many of the points often not addressed in this kind of book.” Professor Dr. Richard Fitzgerald Research Committee Chair Department of Communication University of Macau, China “I wish I could have read this book during my doctoral study! Dr Yoong’s personal and professional expertise and insights into his research and supervision experiences are fruitful and relevant to those who plan to undertake their research endeavours. Despite the ups and downs of your research journey, this book is definitely your great companion to guide you until the end of the tunnel.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Singhanat Kenny Nomnian Deputy Director for Communication and Academic Services Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia Mahidol University, Thailand “This is a book for any graduate student who is in a stare-down contest with their MA thesis or PhD dissertation. David Yoong has been there, and he did more than live to tell the tale: He has also gone on to coach many others to completion. If you are looking for a companion and guide to walk you through the rough patches, then pick up this heartfelt and insightful manual. It is written for you.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jamin Pelkey Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures Ryerson University, Canada "This is one little book every graduate student should read before embarking on a new journey of writing a thesis. It will save them a lot of time and tears." Professor Dr. Kenichi Namai School of International Liberal Studies Waseda University, Japan

The once-great Dead City is now a no-go zone; abandoned and forgotten. Living in this nightmarish underworld Jack is a twisted shadow of his former self, a lone survivor in a world of warring ganglords and their crazed disciples.Yet something is stirring in the sanctuary of the near-space starstations; a realisation that its governing sentience is dying and the one thing that can save civilisation fell to earth a long, long time ago.From unrelentingly visceral to outrageously comic, this is a harsh and poetic twenty-second century noir fable. Yet beneath the hardboiled action is a philosophical journey of one man’s rebirth in a harsh and unforgiving world.It’s The A-Men. Only harder, faster: darker.

Download or read book Brand Vandals written by Steve Earl and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the rise of social media, what audiences think and say about organisations has never been more critical. Steve Earl and Stephen Waddington's Brand Anarchy examined the impact of media change and the new reputation landscape brought about by disaffected shareholders, customers and staff voicing their opinions to a global Internet audience. The authors continue the story here with the brand vandals going one step further; mobilising themselves, and the Internet, to wage war on organisations and willfully cause lasting reputational damage. For the organization, engagement isn't an option – it's a necessity. Brand vandals are forcing a level of dialogue that organisations, public and private, have never had to contemplate before. Smart organisations are helping to define the future of modern brand communication by retooling their public relations and communications teams to truly get to grips with the challenge of engaging audiences in a 24/7 conversation that not only answers criticism, but positively rebuilds corporate reputation. Is your organisation ready for the brand vandals?
Book Synopsis Wood, Wire, Wings by : Kirsten W. Larson
Download or read book Wood, Wire, Wings written by Kirsten W. Larson and published by Thinkingdom. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting nonfiction picture book biography explores both the failures and successes of self-taught engineer Emma Lilian Todd as she tackles one of the greatest challenges of the early 1900s: designing an airplane. Emma Lilian Todd's mind was always soaring--she loved to solve problems. Lilian tinkered and fiddled with all sorts of objects, turning dreams into useful inventions. As a child, she took apart and reassembled clocks to figure out how they worked. As an adult, typing up patents at the U.S. Patent Office, Lilian built the inventions in her mind, including many designs for flying machines. However, they all seemed too impractical. Lilian knew she could design one that worked. She took inspiration from both nature and her many failures, driving herself to perfect the design that would eventually successfully fly. Illustrator Tracy Subisak's art brings to life author Kirsten W. Larson's story of this little-known but important engineer.
