Sinopsis

Digital Divide Issues explores the persistent gap in technology access and its far-reaching consequences on economic advancement, education, and social participation. The book argues that the digital divide is more than a technological problem; it's a reflection of deeper socioeconomic inequalities. Intriguingly, the book highlights that lack of digital access limits economic opportunity and exacerbates social marginalization, showing how critical digital equity is for contemporary society.

 
The book takes a holistic approach, examining socioeconomic factors like income inequality and educational disparities, as well as social and cultural dimensions impacting civic engagement and cultural identity. It analyzes policy interventions and community-led initiatives aimed at bridging the divide. The book presents quantitative data from tech adoption surveys and qualitative research, including case studies, to illustrate the lived experiences of marginalized communities.

 
Unique in its focus, the book emphasizes the intersectionality of the digital divide, acknowledging that individuals face multiple barriers based on race, gender, and other social identities. It progresses through chapters by first contextualizing the divide historically, then analyzing contributing factors, and finally assessing policy interventions to offer practical insights for creating a more equitable digital future.

    North York Moors and Yorkshire...

    This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
    Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
    With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

    What if our universe is just one of many? What if every decision you make creates a new reality? What if other versions of you are living entirely different lives—across parallel realms that stretch beyond imagination? 
    The Multiverse Reality: Are We Alone in the Cosmos? takes you on a bold and fascinating journey through some of the most groundbreaking and mind-expanding ideas in modern science and philosophy. From the Big Bang and cosmic inflation to quantum mechanics and string theory, this book explores the leading theories behind the multiverse—Level I to Level IV—and the thinkers who dared to ask the ultimate questions. 
    But this is more than a scientific exploration. It’s a profound inquiry into what it means to be human in a reality that may not be singular. Through chapters that weave together physics, metaphysics, spirituality, ethics, and popular culture, the book offers a panoramic view of our evolving understanding of existence itself. 
    Whether you're a curious reader, a science enthusiast, or a seeker of deeper truths, this book will challenge your perceptions, ignite your imagination, and leave you wondering—not just if we are alone, but which version of "we" is asking.

    The Future of the Factory - How...

    For centuries, industrialization and factory-based production have been core ingredients in economic growth, development, and innovation. This symbiotic relationship between industrialization and economic prosperity is now changing. "Megatrends"—trends within the domains of technology, economy, society, and ecology that have a global impact—are changing the ability of the manufacturing sector to serve as the engine of growth, changing traditional ideas of technological progress, and changing growth and development opportunities in both the global South and the global North. 
     
     
     
    Four megatrends are particularly worthy of note: the rise of services, digital automation technologies, globalization of production, and ecological breakdown. In this book, Jostein Hauge provides a novel analysis of how these megatrends are changing industrialization, and charts new pathways for industrial policy and global governance. He also offers a wide-ranging account of the role of technology, globalization, and ecology in shaping the world economy. The Future of the Factory shows that industrialization remains a cornerstone of economic prosperity, but that power asymmetries in the world economy create uneven opportunities for achieving economic growth, development, and industrialization.

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    Saved by a Stranger is an honest, down-to-earth, informative book inspiring hope, perseverance, and triumph for those who are facing the need for a new organ. Through great storytelling, the author helps patients and caregivers feel empowered as they face the challenges of the unknown. 
    After battling a rare autoimmune disorder called Primary Schlerosing Cholangitis (PSC) for eighteen years which led to cirrhosis, Lezlee Peterzell Bellanich's husband, Capt. Rob, finally received his life-saving liver transplant on September 10, 2020 at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, he looks and feels like a healthy man with a new engine inside of him. 
    What were all of the twists and turns that led to where they are now? How does hearing amazing survival stories from other transplant patients provide hope and crucial information to those on the waitlist? How, who, and where do donated organs come from? 
    Saved by a Stranger unlocks the mystery of organ donation and transplantation through honest storytelling. The author not only describes their family's personal journey, which included relocating from New York to Florida at the beginning of the Covid outbreak, but also features chapters and interviews with other transplant patients and medical professionals in this field. In doing so, she hopes to increase organ donor registration, give hope to those on the transplant waitlist, and encourage all transplant centers to have regular support group meetings like the Mayo Clinic's weekly Second Chance support group for liver and kidney transplant patients and caregivers.
