Sinopsis

Vinyl vs CD explores the pivotal shift in music history when compact discs replaced vinyl records in the 1980s. It investigates whether this transition was purely a technological advancement or a result of market forces and changing consumer habits. This book argues that the move was driven by more than just superior audio quality; marketing strategies and the phasing out of analog technology played significant roles. One intriguing aspect is how marketing campaigns specifically targeted new demographics to embrace CDs. The book also touches on the passionate debates among audiophiles and industry experts regarding analog versus digital sound fidelity.

 
The book begins by comparing the core technologies of vinyl and CD, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses in sound reproduction. It then traces the historical development of both formats, leading into the 1980s. Chapters delve into marketing tactics, sound quality arguments, and retail shifts as record stores adapted. By drawing on archival recordings, industry reports, and interviews, Vinyl vs CD provides a comprehensive view of this era.

 
Ultimately, the book assesses the long-term consequences of this transition, including vinyl's resurgence and the ongoing analog vs digital debate. This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, integrating technology, business, and cultural studies to understand shifts in music consumption, making it valuable for music enthusiasts, audiophiles, and those interested in the history of technology.

    A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering 
     
     
     
    In the United States, one child in five is raised by a single mother. Yet the single mom is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent for her own (or her children's) good. 
     
     
     
    In Doing It All, journalist and single mother Ruby Russell tells a different story, of single mothering not defined by loss by whole and powerful in its own right. She finds narratives of liberation in Victorian brothels and postwar British slums, in Black feminist theory and the grassroots activism of women fighting for welfare rights. 
     
     
     
    Doing It All is a personal quest for empowerment, a fierce critique of the systems that leave single moms marginalized and exhausted, and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.

    Liberalism as a Way of Life

    Where do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Conservatives are right about one thing: liberalism is the ideology of our times, as omnipresent as religion once was. Yet, as Alexandre Lefebvre argues in Liberalism as a Way of Life, many of us are liberal without fully realizing it—or grasping what it means. Misled into thinking that liberalism is confined to politics, we fail to recognize that it's the water we swim in, saturating every area of public and private life, shaping our psychological and spiritual outlooks, and influencing our moral and aesthetic values—our sense of what is right, wrong, good, bad, funny, worthwhile, and more. This eye-opening book shows how so many of us are liberal to the core, why liberalism provides the basis for a good life, and how we can make our lives better and happier by becoming more aware of, and more committed to, the beliefs we already hold. 
     
     
     
    A lively, engaging, and uplifting guide to living well, the liberal way, Liberalism as a Way of Life is filled with examples from television, movies, stand-up comedy, and social media—from Parks and Recreation and The Good Place to the Borat movies and Hannah Gadsby. Along the way, you'll also learn about seventeen benefits of being a liberal and practical exercises to increase these rewards.

    God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
    Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
    This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
    Inside, you’ll find: 
    A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
    An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
    His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
    The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
    Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
    From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering theology majors 
    Catholic guilt survivors 
    Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
    Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
    Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
    Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.
