  This introduction to cyborg theory provides a critical vantage point for analyzing the claims around emerging technologies like automation, robots, and AI. Cyborg analyzes and reframes popular and scholarly conversations about cyborgs from the perspective of feminist cyborg theory. Drawing on their combined decades of training, teaching, and research in the social sciences, design, and engineering education, Laura Forlano and Danya Glabau introduce an approach called critical cyborg literacy. Critical cyborg literacy foregrounds power dynamics and pays attention to the ways that social and cultural factors such as gender, race, and disability shape how technology is imagined, developed, used, and resisted. 
   
   
   
  Forlano and Glabau offer critical cyborg literacy as a way of thinking through questions about the relationship between humanity and technology. Cyborg examines whether modern technologies make us all cyborgs—if we consider, for instance, the fact that we use daily technologies at work, have technologies embedded into our bodies in health care applications, or use technology to critically explore possibilities as artists, designers, activists, and creators. Lastly, Cyborg offers perspectives from critical race, feminist, and disability thinkers to help chart a path forward for cyborg theory in the twenty-first century.

  Map Addict: The Bestselling Tale...

  'My name is Mike and I am a map addict. There, it's said…' 
  Maps not only show the world, they help it turn. On an average day, we will consult some form of map approximately a dozen times, often without even noticing: checking the A-Z, the road atlas or the Sat Nav, scanning the tube or bus map, a quick Google online or hours wasted flying over a virtual Earth, navigating a way around a shopping centre, watching the weather forecast, planning a walk or a trip, catching up on the news, booking a holiday or hotel. Maps pepper logos, advertisements, illustrations, books, web pages and newspaper and magazine articles: they are a cipher for every area of human existence. At a stroke, they convey precise information about topography, layout, history, politics and power. They are the unsung heroes of life: Map Addict sings their song. 
  There are some fine, dry tomes out there about the history and development of cartography: this is not one of them. Map Addict mixes wry observation with hard fact and considerable research, unearthing the offbeat, the unusual and the downright pedantic in a celebration of all things maps. In Map Addict, we learn the location of what has officially been named by the OS as the most boring square kilometre in the land; we visit the town fractured into dozens of little parcels of land split between two different countries and trek around many other weird borders of Britain and Europe; we test the theories that the new city of Milton Keynes was built to a pagan alignment and that women can't read maps. Combining history, travel, politics, memoir and oblique observation in a highly readable, and often very funny, style, Mike Parker confesses how his own impressive map collection was founded on a virulent teenage shoplifting habit, ponders how a good leftie can be so gung-ho about British cartographic imperialism and wages a one-man war against the moronic blandishments of the Sat Nav age. 
  Mike Parker's Map Addict is a non-fiction book that combines science, humour, and travelogues to provide a unique perspective on geography and culture. His essays are both historical and social, making this a popular choice among readers. 
  For fans of Mark Wallington (The Day Job), Tom Bullough (Sarn Helen), Gavin Ortlund (Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't), Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), and Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare).

  American Visions - The United...

  Edward L. Ayers

  A revealing history of the formative period when voices of dissent and innovation defied power and created visions of America still resonant today. 
   
   
   
  The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the expansion of slavery, Native dispossession, and wars with Canada and Mexico. Mass immigration and powerful religious movements sent tremors through American society. But even as the powerful defended the status quo, others defied it: voices from the margins moved the center; eccentric visions altered the accepted wisdom, and acts of empathy questioned self-interest. Edward L. Ayers’s rich history examines the visions that moved Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, the Native American activist William Apess, and others to challenge entrenched practices and beliefs. 
   
   
   
  Through decades of award-winning scholarship on the Civil War, Edward L. Ayers has himself ventured beyond the interpretative status quo to recover the range of possibilities embedded in the past as it was lived. Here he turns that distinctive historical sensibility to a period when bold visionaries and critics built vigorous traditions of dissent and innovation into the foundation of the nation. Those traditions remain alive for us today.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. For seven years, Lorenzo Sellers debated MAGA supporters across dinner tables, social media threads, workplaces, and public forums. Not to win. To understand. 
   
  What he discovered is something most people never see. These debates were never about facts. They were about emotion, identity, belonging, and power. Facts don’t build movements. Strategy does. 
   
  Politics vs Power is a bold and unflinching guide to understanding why movements like MAGA grow so fiercely and why facts alone will never break their grip. Drawing from real conversations, psychological patterns, and cultural fault lines, Lorenzo reveals the emotional engines that power these movements and how to counter them with precision. 
   
  Inside you’ll learn: 
   
  *Why facts fall flat against emotional loyalty 
   
  *How belonging, power proximity, and rebellion keep people loyal 
   
  *How to recognize when someone is unreachable and when the real audience is watching 
   
  *Why outrage fuels movements and clarity dismantles them 
   
  *How to build spaces that meet emotional needs before extremism exploits them 
   
  This is not a partisan rant. It is a playbook for those tired of shouting into the void. Politics vs Power shows you how to stop reacting, start strategizing, and build influence that lasts long after the noise fades. 
   
  Whether you’re trying to reach someone who has fallen deep into the MAGA fold, protect your peace in conversations that go nowhere, or understand the real battlefield beneath the headlines, this book gives you the clarity and strategy you need to stand firm in the storm. 
   
  Politics is performance. Power is strategy. Learn the difference.
