Sinossi

Rise of Microfilm explores the history of microfilm, a 20th-century technology that profoundly impacted information access and preservation. It examines how this invention, initially conceived in the 1800s, revolutionized various sectors, including libraries, archives, businesses, and intelligence agencies. The book argues that microfilm's adoption led to fundamental shifts in information management, democratizing access to knowledge and enabling efficient handling of vast data volumes. Microfilm provided a compact, durable, and cost-effective solution, addressing the challenges of managing paper-based records, especially during the World Wars.

 
The book uniquely investigates microfilm's technological evolution, its adoption across industries, and its socio-political implications. For instance, microfilm enabled institutions to preserve fragile historical documents and businesses to efficiently store critical records. The narrative begins with the origins of microphotography, then explores its historical context and impact, and concludes by considering its decline with the rise of digital technologies.

 
By using diverse evidence such as patents, archival documents, and oral histories, Rise of Microfilm presents a comprehensive account of this transformative technology and its enduring legacy.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
    "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
    "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

    Technology advances are making tech more . . . human, changing everything you thought you knew about innovation and strategy. 
     
      
     
    In their groundbreaking book Human + Machine, Accenture technology leaders Paul Daugherty and H. James Wilson showed how leading organizations use the power of human-machine collaboration to transform their businesses and their bottom lines. Now those companies and other pioneers across industries are reshaping the very nature of innovation. 
     
     
     
    In Radically Human, Daugherty and Wilson show this profound shift—how artificial intelligence is becoming less artificial and more intelligent. How, instead of data-hungry approaches to AI, innovators are pursuing data-efficient approaches that enable machines to learn as humans do. And how, instead of replacing workers with machines, they are unleashing human expertise to create human-centered AI. 
     
     
     
    Leading companies use these fresh approaches to the basic building blocks of business—Intelligence, Data, Experience, Architecture, and Strategy (IDEAS)—to transform competition, optimize post-pandemic approaches to work and talent, and show the way toward a sustainable future. With compelling insights and fresh examples from a variety of industries, Radically Human will forever change the way you think about, practice, and win with innovation.
