Synopsis

Internet History explores the captivating story of the internet, tracing its evolution from a Cold War experiment into the pervasive global network we know today. The book examines key technological advancements, social impacts, and political forces that have shaped this transformative technology. One intriguing fact is that the early internet, known as ARPANET, was conceived as a decentralized communication system to withstand potential attacks, highlighting its initial focus on resilience.

 
Another significant development was Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web, which democratized access to online information and paved the way for e-commerce and social media.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, meticulously dissecting the internet's development across three pivotal stages. It begins with the ARPANET era, moves into the rise of the World Wide Web and the commercial internet, and concludes with the age of high-speed connections and mobile computing. This structured examination, supported by primary and secondary sources, makes Internet History particularly valuable for students, researchers, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the digital landscape. The book emphasizes the constant interplay between technological innovation, societal adoption, and internet regulation, offering readers insights into ongoing debates surrounding data privacy and technology policy.

Curious Species - How Animals...

Whitney Barlow Robles

Can corals build worlds? Do rattlesnakes enchant? What is a raccoon, and what might it know? Animals and the questions they raised thwarted human efforts to master nature during the so-called Enlightenment—a historical moment when rigid classification pervaded the study of natural history, people traded in people, and imperial avarice wrapped its tentacles around the globe. Whitney Barlow Robles makes animals the unruly protagonists of eighteenth-century science through journeys to four spaces and ecological zones: the ocean, the underground, the curiosity cabinet, and the field. Her forays reveal a forgotten lineage of empirical inquiry, one that forced researchers to embrace uncertainty. This tumultuous era in the history of human-animal encounters still haunts modern biologists and ecologists as they who struggle to fathom animals today. 
 
 
  
In an eclectic fusion of history and nature writing, Robles alternates between careful historical investigations and probing personal narratives. These excavations of the past and present of distinct nonhuman creatures reveal the animal foundations of human knowledge and show why tackling our current environmental crisis first requires looking back in time.

Called by the Wild - The Dogs...

Conraad de Rosner, Graham...

The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers 
Conraad de Rosner is a pioneering game ranger, working with dogs to protect wildlife against poachers – both ‘bushmeat’ poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. 
Con’s life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa’s most dangerous animals, about to charge. When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father’s footsteps as the leader of the canine anti poaching team that is still operating today. 
Con’s story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.
