Sinossi

In "The Pleistocene of North America and its Vertebrated Animals," Oliver Perry Hay provides an exhaustive examination of the Pleistocene epoch, combining paleontological research with rich geological context. His meticulous studies highlight the diverse vertebrate fauna that inhabited North America during this era, characterized by an engaging narrative style that seamlessly integrates scientific detail with accessible prose. Hay's work is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century paleontology, when emerging fossil discoveries were reshaping the understanding of Earth's prehistoric life and climate dynamics. Oliver Perry Hay, an eminent American paleontologist and curator, devoted his career to studying and cataloguing vertebrate fossils. His academic background, cultivated at institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution, deeply informed his approach to this monumental work. Hay's dedication to detailing the rich tapestry of past ecosystems reflects his broader interest in the interrelationship between species and their environments, illustrating how fossil records can inform current ecological studies. This book is a vital resource for anyone interested in paleontology, ecology, or the geological history of North America. Hay's groundbreaking insights lay the groundwork for future research in vertebrate paleontology, making this text indispensable for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    The connected world offers the potential for radical new business insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil, but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has started from ‘data up’ and needs to start again from ‘value down’, going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to interrogate data with purpose.

    The concept of animal rights is a deeply philosophical and ethical issue that challenges our views on how animals should be treated and regarded in society. At its core, animal rights is the belief that animals, like humans, have inherent value and deserve certain protections from harm, exploitation, and abuse. This perspective asserts that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, fear, and pleasure, and thus, they should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering or exploitation for human gain. 
    Historically, animals have been viewed largely as property or resources for human use, whether in agriculture, industry, or even entertainment. Over time, however, a growing awareness of animal sentience and the recognition of their complex emotional and cognitive abilities have led to significant shifts in how societies regard and treat animals. The modern animal rights movement can trace its origins to the mid-19th century, with the establishment of the first animal protection laws and the formation of advocacy groups dedicated to the welfare of animals. 
    The industrial revolution marked a turning point in the relationship between humans and animals, as it saw the rise of factory farming, animal testing for medical and cosmetic purposes, and the widespread use of animals in entertainment. These practices sparked widespread concern about the ethics of animal use, leading to the formation of various animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866. These groups campaigned for more humane treatment of animals, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the concept of animal rights as a broader ethical movement began to take shape.

    ‘Starting out, I made three dollars an hour; then I made four, then eight. After a year and a half of streaming full-time I was finally making minimum wage. A couple of years after that I was signed to a professional team and advertising products to my audience for $1,000 an hour.’ 
    Streaming video games is now a billion-dollar industry. In 2022, Twitch alone has over 140 million active monthly users, with top players earning millions each year. But success breeds envy, and when big money’s being made, everyone wants a piece. 
    In Before We Go Live, professional streamer Stephen Flavall, aka ‘jorbs’, invites the reader behind the scenes of this new frontier. 
    From the boardrooms of LA to doctors' offices in the Midwest, dealing with trolls and stalkers to mingling with crypto scammers and ruthless opportunists, Before We Go Live is both a true story about the dark realities of streaming and the tale of a deep and enduring friendship. 
    It’s about what happens when real life intersects with entertainment, and learning to act with kindness and humour in an online world full of prejudice and abuse. 
    This audiobook edition is narrated by Ray Chase, voice of Noctis Lucis Caelum, L, and Bruno Buccellatti.

    Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
