During her investigation to understand human nature, explored most recently in her bestselling Better Than Before, Gretchen Rubin realised that by asking the seemingly dry question ''How do I respond to expectations?'' we gain life changing self-knowledge.She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behaviour, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.More than 800,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change. The Four Tendencies hold practical answers if you''ve ever thought...- People can rely on me, but I can''t rely on myself- How can I help someone to follow good advice?- People say I ask too many questions- How do I work with someone who refuses to do what I ask - or who keeps telling me what to do?With sharp insight, compelling research, and ...

True Gretch - Gretchen Whitmer
From trailblazing Michigan governor, Democratic leader, and national advocate for women’s rights, Gretchen Whitmer, comes an unconventional and deeply personal account of her life and career—“Not your nana’s ponderous political memoir” (New York magazine)—offering insights into her leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic, her fight against domestic terrorism threats, and her resilience in the face of extraordinary challenges.When Gretchen Whitmer was growing up, her beloved grandmother Nino taught her that you can always find something good in other people. “Even the meanest person might have pretty eyes,” she would say. Nino’s words persuaded Whitmer to look for the good in any person or situation—just one of many colorful personal experiences that have shaped her political vision. (And, as Whitmer writes, one that resonated more than another piece of advice her grandmother offered, to “never part your hair in the middle.”) In this candid and inspiring book, Whitmer reveals the principles and instincts that have shaped her extraordinary career, from her early days as a lawyer and legislator and her 2018 election as governor of Michigan, to her bold and innovative actions as she led the state through a series of unprecedented crises. Her motto in politics, she writes, is to “get ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Journey through Trauma - Gretchen Schmelzer
For survivors of PTSD and repeated, relational trauma - and the people who love them.Gretchen Schmelzer watched too many people quit during treatment for trauma recovery. They found it too difficult or too frightening, or just decided that it was too late. But as a therapist and trauma survivor herself, there are three basic principles that Schmelzer wants every trauma survivor to know: Healing is possible. It requires courage. And it cannot be done alone. Traumas that happen more than once - domestic violence, child abuse, sexual abuse, gang violence, even war - are all relational traumas. They happened inside a relationship and therefore must be healed inside a relationship, whether that relationship is with a therapist or within a group.Journey through Trauma is written specifically for survivors - to help them understand the terrain of the healing process, see where the hard parts show up and persevere in the process of getting well. Schmelzer shares the five phases that every survivor must go through and explains that the path to healing is not linear - it is circular.

Critical Internet Literacies - Jamie Cohen
An introductory critical internet studies text that builds upon media literacy and digital culture theory to offer a thorough examination of the intersection of online technology and culture.We are now collectively at a hinge point in the evolution of the web where online influencers can sway national discourse, geopolitical events are remixed through memes, and online harms are misunderstood. This book argues that people are generally aware that online media has repercussions in off-platform spaces, but sometimes lack the language to properly critique online trends, memes, and internet-born media. How are citizens, activists, and marginalized groups able to use these tools effectively and safely in these times? Jamie Cohen explores aspects of internet culture in an approachable manner, building upon critical media literacy and applying a critical technocultural analysis as a methodology to reimagine how media literacy can operate in an online media environment. The book explores key topics such as accessibility, the creator economy, content moderation, tech bias, platform capitalism, internet culture, and safety.Offering a new way of reading internet media and critiquing content and creators, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of digital culture, internet culture, media literacy, social media, and beyond.

How to Save the Internet - Nick Clegg

Introduction to Internet of Things (IoT) - Ahmed Banafa
This book introduces the Internet of Things (IoT), which is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes; it is transforming our life, business and everything in between. By 2025, experts forecast that up to 75 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one third of them being computers, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other "devices" – sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other "things", which traditionally have not been Internet enabled. This "Internet of Things" (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution mobile devices connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.

The Internet Stack - Amrit Tiwana
An accessible journey through the seam that connects the digital world of the Internet to our physical world.The stack—the conduit between our digital and physical worlds—is the elusive, mysterious, and least-understood part of the Internet. In the five seconds it took you to read that, 100 quadrillion bits of data just whizzed through the stack. Our metaphors—cloud, virtual, cyber—blind us to the incredible reality: The Internet is a physical thing: dingy, wet, and rusty. In The Stack, Amrit Tiwana takes us on a journey through this gritty reality.The book begins with its breathtaking physical layer, laden with geography, luck, and history dating to the Civil War era. Then it shows us how most Internet traffic flows deep undersea as laser beams, not up in the “cloud” via satellites. It goes on to explore how the stack constructs and deconstructs “packets” layer-by-layer, how these packets travel over rickety paths, and how the stack can assimilate stuff that has yet to be invented. Finally, it discusses how we construct resilience out of fragile parts and how quantum computing might affect the stack.

After the Internet - Tiziana Terranova
On the internet''s transformation from communication tool to computational infrastructure.The internet is no more. If it still exists, it does so only as a residual technology, still effective in the present but less intelligible as such. After nearly two decades and a couple of financial crises, it has become the almost imperceptible background of today’s Corporate Platform Complex (CPC)—a pervasive planetary technological infrastructure that meshes communication with computation.In the essays collected in this book, written mostly between the mid-2000s and the late 2010s, Tiziana Terranova bears witness to this monstrous transformation. Mobilizing theories of cognitive capitalism, neo-monadology, and sympathetic cooperation, considering ideas such as the attention economy and its psychopathologies, and evoking the relation between algorithmic automation and the Common, she provides real-time takes on the mutations that have changed the technological, cultural, and economic ethos of the Internet. Mostly conceived, elaborated, and discussed in collective activist spaces, After the Internet is neither apocalyptic lamentation nor melancholic “rise and fall” story of betrayed great expectations. On the contrary, it looks within the folds of the recent past to unfold the potential futurities that the post-digital computational present still entails.

Internet zvířat - Alexander Pschera
Kniha o tom, jak se ekologie vrací ke svým základům, o novém vztahu lidí a zvířat a také o tom, jak internet, k tomu může být velmi velmi užitečný (a jak se to celé děje). Ekologie se musí vrátit ke svým základům, ke konkrétnímu vztahu člověka a divokého zvířete. Pouze nová forma komunikace se zvířaty zase dokáže nadchnout lidi pro zvířata. Dnes lidem připadá, že pokrok, jenž je spojen s konkrétním zlepšením kvality života, stojí za podstatně větší námahu a je pochopitelnější než nějaký program na ochranu žab pralesniček v Kostarice. Naše kniha ukazuje novou cestu. Vypráví o onom disruptivním momentu technologie, v němž investiční bankéř z Frankfurtu na okamžik zapomene na své porsche a spřátelí se na internetu s pralesničkou. Po celém světě vybavují vědci tisíce zvířat od šneků až po žraloky bílé vysílači, aby je mohli sledovat a kontrolovat přes satelit a na počítači. Výsledky jsou pak všem zájemcům okamžitě přístupné na facebookových profilech, jež vědci zvířatům vytvořili. Co se může jevit jako sci-fi, je ve skutečnosti již dávno realitou: mezinárodní výzkumné projekty pracují na plné obrátky na co nejúplnějším "internetu zvířat", jenž by lidem umožnil zužitkovat zvířecí schopnosti.

They said their "walled gardens" would keep us safe, but those were prison walls.The platforms locked us into their systems and made us easy pickings, ripe for extraction.

The Internet of Animals - Deborah Lupton
'The internet is made of cats' is a half-jokingly made claim. Today, animals of all shapes and sizes inhabit our digital spaces, including companion animals, wildlife, feral animals and livestock. In this book, Deborah Lupton explores how digital technologies and datafication are changing our relationships with other animals. Playfully building on the concept of 'The Internet of Things', she discusses the complex feelings that have developed between people and animals through the use of digital devices, from social media to employing animal-like robots as companions and carers. The book brings together a range of perspectives, including those of sociology, cultural geography, environmental humanities, critical animal studies and internet studies, to consider how these new digital technologies are contributing to major changes in human–animal relationships at both the micropolitical and macropolitical levels. As Lupton shows, while digital devices and media have strengthened people's relationships to other creatures, these technologies can also objectify animals as things for human entertainment, therapy or economic exploitation. This original and engaging book will be of interest to scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities.
