Sinopsis

Cyberpunk Elements delves into the often-overlooked world of action manga to dissect cyberpunk themes like corporate dominance and social alienation. Exploring how Japanese creators interpret the genre, the book argues that manga provides a unique lens for examining technology's impact on society. It highlights how these visual narratives, filled with dynamic action, reflect and shape our perceptions of technological advancements, often presenting dystopian visions that mirror anxieties about globalization and eroded autonomy.

 
The book begins by tracing cyberpunk's historical and philosophical roots, acknowledging influences like Neuromancer and Blade Runner. It then examines key themes such as transhumanism and the blurring of reality before analyzing specific manga titles. A unique aspect involves comparing cyberpunk themes across different manga, identifying both common threads and distinctive variations.

 
Ultimately, Cyberpunk Elements aims to demonstrate how action manga contributes to the evolution of cyberpunk, offering valuable insights for students and general readers interested in technology, film, television, and media studies. By focusing on action manga, the book sheds light on a largely unexplored area within cyberpunk scholarship, revealing its relevance to contemporary debates about artificial intelligence, surveillance, and social inequality.

    Have you ever wondered how a programmer develops games and writes code without having to think too much? Do you want to know what makes a programmer confident about the code they write? Do you want to learn how programmers use algorithms to determine how to structure their programs before they develop it? If you did, this is the book for you.  
    An algorithm is a set of rules or instructions you provide to a system. The system performs a specific process to answer a question using these instructions. As an amateur or expert, it is important for you to understand what an algorithm is and how you should define it. Once you learn to develop an algorithm, you can easily learn to develop code to execute that algorithm. Throughout this book, you will learn about the following:Algorithms and their characteristics How you should define the algorithm Types of algorithmsAnalyzing an algorithm based on time and space complexitiesWriting code keeping an algorithm in mind And more!  
    This book will also show you how to implement the sorting and searching algorithms using C and Java programming languages, since these are the most common languages used by programmers. Bear in mind an algorithm is only a set of instructions, and this means you can use an algorithm to write code using different programming languages. You will only need to understand the properties of the programming language and use the right syntax.  
    So, what are you waiting for? If you want to strengthen your understanding of algorithms and write high-performing code, grab a copy of this book now.

    Step behind the scenes of one of the world's top ten zoological gardens with Willie Labuschagne in his captivating second memoir, Of Man and Beast. As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty.
    From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure.
    Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species.
    Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction.
    This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem.
    Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.

    Tenacious Beasts - Wildlife...

    The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and challenges at the heart of these resurgences. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital, ecological roles. Each section of the book offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery. 
     
     
     
    Tenacious Beasts is quintessential nature writing for the Anthropocene, touching on different facets of ecological restoration from Indigenous knowledge to rewilding practices. More important, perhaps, the book offers a road map—and a measure of hope—for a future in which humans and animals can once again coexist.
