Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Romance of the Reaper," Herbert Newton Casson weaves a poignant narrative that delves deep into the soul of agricultural life, illuminating the mechanisms of change brought about by technological progress. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the book combines vivid storytelling with rich descriptions of the landscapes and communities affected by mechanization in farming. Casson's keen observations and anecdotal style reflect an intimate understanding of rural America, encapsulated within the themes of innovation and nostalgia that permeate the text. His exploration serves not only as an homage to the humble reaper but also as a meditation on the intersections of tradition and modernity, echoing the zeitgeist of an era in flux. Herbert Newton Casson was not only an accomplished author but also an influential journalist and speaker on agricultural topics. His firsthand experiences growing up in a farming community profoundly informed his perspective on machinery's transformative role in farming practices. Casson'Äôs blend of professional insight and personal narrative enriches the depth of "The Romance of the Reaper," as he captures the hearts and hardships of the agrarian lifestyle, ultimately positioning him as a voice for those in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Romance of the Reaper" to readers interested in agricultural history, rural sociology, and the nuances of technological advancement. Casson'Äôs acute observations provide a framework for understanding the delicate balance between tradition and progress. His narrative not only informs but also evokes a profound respect for those whose labor sustains our civilization, making this book a vital addition to both literary and historical discussions.

Technology Touchpoints -...

PhD MAC Loretta L. C. Brady

This is a story about a family coming of age at the same time as smartphones and social media; a multiracial family coming into its own as windows into social injustice opened up before our very screens; and a multi-parent multi-professional family with children living differently depending on which house and which combination of family members happen to be home. While it is a story about a family, it is really the story of technological and global changes unfolding on our doorsteps. 
 
 
 
While many revile the ascendance of smartphones and social media and the way they suck us into the vortex of cyberspace, there are cultural touchpoints that reflect deeper human and technology development patterns, patterns which we would all do well to understand, no matter whether or how we choose to engage in the ever-innovating digital frontiers. Informed by research and interviews with leaders in policy, human development, ethics, and technology, Loretta Brady helps listeners understand the complex systemic challenges and findings related to technology and human development. 
 
 
 
We do not have to hate or fear technology. It is neither friend nor foe. But understanding its impact on our daily lives is paramount to cultivating a healthier relationship both with our digital lives and our real, lived ones.

Fatal Abstraction - Why the...

Darryl Campbell

Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
 
 
 
In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
 
 
 
A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.
