Synopsis

"Death of CDs" explores the rapid rise and fall of the Compact Disc, examining how technological advancements, shifting consumer behavior, and economic factors led to the streaming revolution. The book dissects how a seemingly indestructible format became a casualty of progress, forever altering the music industry. It highlights how the convenience of digital music, MP3s, and platforms like Spotify and Apple Music overshadowed the perceived benefits of physical ownership for many listeners. The book also considers how increasing internet speeds and the proliferation of personal computers and smartphones contributed to the CD's decline.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, starting with the CD era's technical achievements and cultural impact. It then delves into the rise of digital music, examining file-sharing platforms like Napster and the iTunes Store. Finally, it analyzes the consequences of this shift on album sales, artist revenue, and overall creative processes. Through sales data, market trends, and case studies, the book illustrates the challenges and opportunities presented by digital distribution.

 
The insights offered extend beyond music, touching on themes of technological disruption and the economics of digital content, making it valuable for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of media formats navigating the digital landscape.

We All Feel - Understanding...

Barbara J. King

From the time of our earliest childhood encounters with animals, we casually ascribe familiar emotions to them, though scientists have long cautioned against such anthropomorphizing. Recently, however, things have begun to shift in the other direction, and anthropologist Barbara J. King is at the forefront of that movement, arguing strenuously that we can—and should—attend to animal emotions. In the stories she tells here, King relays how some farm animals—horses, goats, chickens, and ducks—bond with others and engage in mourning when their friends die. Here, too, dolphins and whales exhibit striking signs of suffering over the loss of babies and companions: a mother dolphin will not give up her dead baby, and whales risk stranding themselves in small groups rather than abandon kin. As part of a larger web of life, death, love, and loss, King calls our attention to emotions—both our own and those of our companion species.
