Sinossi

"Birth of Digital" chronicles the sweeping transformation of photography from film to digital, exploring its technological roots, business battles, and artistic adaptations. The book reveals how digital imaging, fueled by innovations like CCD and CMOS sensors, revolutionized not just photography but also diverse fields like medicine and social media. It highlights how the rise of digital photography wasn't merely about superior technology; it was a convergence of technological advancements, market dynamics, and cultural shifts that favored instant feedback and ease of sharing. The book delves into the strategies employed by companies such as Kodak, Sony, and Canon as they navigated disruptive technologies, offering insights into innovation management and market dynamics. Furthermore, it examines how photographers embraced or resisted digital tools, showcasing the evolving relationship between technology and artistic expression. One notable debate addressed is the impact of digital photography on image authenticity, particularly concerning digital manipulation. Beginning with the scientific foundations of digital imaging, the book progresses to analyze the competitive landscape and the reactions of photographers to digital technology. It culminates with an examination of the societal implications of ubiquitous digital imaging, including issues of privacy and the democratization of image production, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between technology, business, and art.

    A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
     
     
     
    It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.

    In *From Mines to Milestones*, Michael Metsemakers takes readers on a gritty, unfiltered journey through the mining industry in the vast, rugged outback of Western Australia. Born in a small country town, Michael never imagined he'd one day be operating 600-ton excavators, but his relentless drive and passion for heavy machinery propelled him through the ranks of Australia’s mining operations. 
    Starting as an 18-year-old roller operator with no knowledge of the industry, Michael quickly adapted to the unique challenges of the FIFO lifestyle. His story captures the highs and lows of working in harsh environments, the thrill of mastering powerful machinery, and the struggle to balance career and family life. 
    Now a father, Michael faces his toughest challenge yet: leaving the mines behind to be with his son and experience life’s most important milestones at home.

    Neonatology - Care of the Newborn

    Neonatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or premature. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival and well-being of newborns, especially in the first few days and weeks of life, which are critical for the infant’s long-term health. The field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common newborn illnesses to complex and rare congenital disorders, and involves the expertise of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals working collaboratively in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). 
    At birth, the infant undergoes a series of physiological changes, transitioning from the maternal environment to the external world. This period of adaptation is a defining feature of neonatology, where the neonatologist’s role is to manage any challenges that arise during this transition. This includes monitoring the newborn’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature regulation, as well as ensuring the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and support. 
    Neonatology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, with improvements in neonatal care reducing mortality rates for preterm infants and those with congenital conditions. Innovations such as advanced respiratory support systems, better understanding of neonatal pharmacology, and the development of sophisticated monitoring techniques have drastically improved the chances of survival for critically ill newborns. These advancements have also contributed to a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of prematurity, low birth weight, and other neonatal complications on development.
