Darwin

Gamaliel Bradford

Synopsis

In 1831, at the age of twenty-two, Darwin obtained the position of naturalist on the government ship, Beagle, and for five years he was absent from England, exploring the southern hemisphere and carefully recording his observations on every sort of scientific subject, which were later published in his printed journal. Soon after his return home, he married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, a noble and charming woman, and a little later, in 1842, he settled at the small village of Down, in the county of Kent, and made his home there until his death in 1882. He inherited a considerable property, which was later increased from his books. He had a large family of sons and daughters, ten in all, and his life was half chronic invalidism and half intense devotion to scientific study and thought, or rather, the two elements were inextricably intertwined.

Saimon Carrie

"Decentralized Computing: The Evolution of Power and Possibility" explores the transformative impact of blockchain and decentralized technologies on our world today and in the future. From revolutionizing finance and governance to empowering individuals and communities, decentralized computing represents a paradigm shift in how we interact, transact, and govern.
In this insightful exploration, we delve into the foundational principles of decentralization, tracing its evolution from the creation of Bitcoin to the emergence of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on platforms like Ethereum. We uncover how these technologies have democratized access to financial services through decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling peer-to-peer transactions, lending, and investing without intermediaries.
Moreover, the book examines how decentralized networks are reshaping governance models, with innovations like Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) enabling transparent decision-making and community-driven initiatives. We explore the potential of blockchain to enhance data privacy and digital autonomy through self-sovereign identity solutions and decentralized storage systems, empowering individuals to control their personal information securely.
"Decentralized Computing" also addresses the challenges and opportunities inherent in this technological revolution. It navigates regulatory landscapes, security considerations, and scalability issues while advocating for ethical and responsible innovation. The book underscores the potential of decentralized computing to drive sustainable development, promote environmental stewardship, and foster inclusive economic growth.
Join us on a journey into the decentralized future, where power shifts from centralized authorities to empowered communities, and possibilities for innovation and equitable progress abound.

Inclusive Design for...

Professor Jonathan Hassell

Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
Inclusive Design for Organisations, and its companion, Inclusive Design for Products, will help you comply with both parts of the new International Standard ISO 30071-1.
