  The Internet Is Not What You...

  An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it—and explains why they have died today 
   
  Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from  
  the ancient to the modern world—uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet’s  
  continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology. 
   
  Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the “internet” has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience,  
  artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet’s organic structure and  
  development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature. 
   
  Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades.

  Fighting for Ecological HeritageIn 1992, a Hawaiian developer proposed a subdivision on Cougar Bay's northern shore, just two miles south of Coeur d'Alene. Dedicated, tenacious locals took on the seemingly impossible goal of stopping the "Cougar Beach" development. Unlikely allies--environmental activists and a cantankerous landowner--banded together. Private and public groups stepped up. In 1997, The Nature Conservancy purchased major shoreline areas and created a nature preserve. The sanctuary remained unaltered until more private land was gifted to the Bureau of Land Management and Kootenai County. After thirteen years of heroic perseverance, the Cougar Bay Nature Preserve became a reality. Idaho Wildlife Viewing Guide calls it one of the state's best wildlife viewing sites. Theresa Shaffer chronicles the battle to preserve this oasis for locals, visitors and wildlife alike.

  Before I Begin: A Manifesto on Humanity's Reckoning and the End of the World is not just another book about apocalypse. It is a bold philosophical and scientific exploration of the greatest threats humanity has ever faced—and the hidden patterns that link our past extinctions to the dangers of today. 
  From the cataclysmic asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs to the looming possibility of nuclear war, from supervolcanoes and gamma-ray bursts to engineered viruses and runaway artificial intelligence, this manifesto examines how fragile our existence truly is. But beyond the science of survival, it confronts the uncomfortable truth: that corruption, inequality, and the failures of the global system may be the gravest threats of all. 
  In powerful, provocative prose, Hatem Helmi weaves together history, philosophy, and cutting-edge science to reveal a vision of humanity standing on the edge of transformation. Will we collapse into chaos, or will we seize the chance to build a more just and resilient world? 
  For readers of Yuval Noah Harari, Stephen Hawking, and Jared Diamond, this book is both a warning and a manifesto—a call to awaken, to question, and to act before it is too late. 
  This is not the end. It is the beginning of a reckoning.

  Demystifying IT - The Language...

  Information technology isn’t magic. But used strategically, in its many forms, it can literally be a “superpower” that fuels a company into new realms of growth and profit. Most midsized companies today are leaving much of their IT potential on the table. Authors Bhopi Dhali and Saurajit Kanungo — experts in both business and digital tech — have distilled their years of hands-on experience into a guidebook for tapping the potential. Drawing on examples from Spider-Man (really!) to case stories of companies they’ve helped to succeed, they peel away the bewilderment and frustration that executives often encounter in dealing with IT. Beneath those layers, key management principles emerge. These principles can make digitization projects pay bottom-line returns instead of draining the budget. And can make any company fit to lead, not fated to lose, in today’s digital age.
