Sinossi

'VR Dreams' presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of virtual reality technology, from its humble beginnings with Victorian stereoscopes to today's sophisticated immersive systems. The book masterfully weaves together technical innovation, human psychology, and social impact to explain how our persistent desire to transcend physical limitations has driven VR development across three major phases: the mechanical age, the digital revolution, and the emergence of social virtual spaces.

 
Through extensive research and industry pioneer interviews, the book reveals compelling insights into how each technological breakthrough built upon previous innovations. For instance, the development of head-mounted displays and haptic feedback systems transformed simple visual illusions into fully immersive experiences. The narrative expertly balances technical details with accessible explanations, making complex concepts understandable for both technology professionals and general readers interested in digital innovation.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with fundamental principles of human perception and advancing through crucial developments in computer graphics and modern VR ecosystems. It concludes with a thought-provoking exploration of future possibilities, including brain-computer interfaces and augmented reality integration, while maintaining a balanced perspective on both the opportunities and challenges facing VR technology.

 
Throughout the text, practical insights into VR development are complemented by critical examination of its societal implications, from revolutionizing remote work and education to concerns about digital addiction and privacy.

    When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
     
     
     
    With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
     
     
     
    Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.

    Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
     
     
     
    However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
     
     
     
    In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.
