Sinossi

"Modem Breakthrough" chronicles the revolutionary journey of a technology that fundamentally changed how computers communicate, beginning with Bell Labs' groundbreaking innovation in 1958. This comprehensive exploration weaves together the technical evolution of modems, their profound social impact, and the economic transformation they unleashed by democratizing internet access.

 
The narrative skillfully traces the progression from early 300-bit-per-second devices to the familiar 56k modems of the 1990s, and ultimately to modern broadband technology. The book uniquely balances technical detail with accessibility, explaining complex concepts like signal modulation and data compression in clear, practical terms.

 
Through carefully documented historical records, patents, and firsthand accounts from pioneer developers, readers gain insight into how modems transformed from specialized equipment into ubiquitous technology. The text illuminates fascinating developments, such as how early engineers solved the challenge of converting digital signals to analog for transmission over telephone lines, and the pivotal role of companies like CompuServe and AOL in shaping online services.

 
Particularly valuable is the book's examination of how modem technology influenced everything from email protocols to the World Wide Web's development. It addresses crucial standardization battles that shaped the industry while highlighting the technology's role in bridging the digital divide. The narrative demonstrates how each advancement in modem capabilities opened new possibilities for information exchange and business operations, ultimately laying the groundwork for today's interconnected world.

    ‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding 
    A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island. 
    Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world. 
    The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation. 
    Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences. 
    For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).

    We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis – and most people want to see more action.
     
    But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back?
    What will it take for us to do better?
    In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper under the surface to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past. He uses all these insights to identify the single point of greatest leverage for those seeking the systemic change we so desperately need. A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media and our businesses. Not only is this possible, but each of us can have radically more impact on the issues we care about by turning our attention to this simple principle. 
    Anyone asking, ‘What can each of us do right now to help?’ will find inspiration in this practical and important book.

    Allergology - Allergies and...

    Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These substances, known as allergens, can include food, pollen, dust, pet dander, insect venom, and certain medications. When an allergic individual comes into contact with an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and triggers a defensive response. This response can range from mild symptoms, such as sneezing or a skin rash, to severe and potentially life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis.  
    The immune system plays a central role in allergic reactions. Normally, it defends the body against harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system misidentifies allergens as dangerous invaders. The primary component involved in allergic reactions is Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a type of antibody that binds to specific allergens. This binding signals immune cells, such as mast cells and basophils, to release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, and respiratory distress. 
    Allergic reactions are classified into different types based on the mechanism and timing of the immune response. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions occur within minutes of allergen exposure and are mediated by IgE. These reactions include hay fever, asthma attacks, and food allergies. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, on the other hand, take several hours or even days to develop and involve different immune pathways, such as T-cell activation. Contact dermatitis, a reaction to certain chemicals or metals, is an example of a delayed allergic response.
