Summary

Video Game Impact delves into the significant influence of video games, showing how they've evolved into a cultural force that shapes technology, interactive narratives, and social interactions. The book explores the gaming industry's role in driving technological innovation. For example, early advancements in 3D graphics and artificial intelligence were often pioneered within video games before permeating other sectors. It also examines how video games have revolutionized storytelling, offering players agency within complex, interactive worlds, influencing film and literature. The book dissects the social impact of video games, investigating the formation of online communities and new forms of social interaction while also addressing potential negative aspects like online harassment.

 
Structured into three main sections, Video Game Impact first traces the historical development of video games, then analyzes the technological innovations they've spurred, and finally examines their cultural and social implications. By drawing upon concepts from sociology, media studies, and computer science, the book offers a comprehensive and balanced perspective on the multifaceted role of video games in society.

    Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

    For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
     
    Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.

  • Saving Ourselves - From Climate Shocks to Climate Action - cover

    Saving Ourselves - From Climate...

    We've known for decades that climate change is an existential crisis. For just as long, we've seen the complete failure of our institutions to rise to the challenge. Fossil fuel interests maintain a stranglehold on political and economic power. Even though we have seen growing concern from everyday people, civil society has succeeded only in pressuring decision makers to adopt watered-down policies. Is there any hope of achieving the systemic change we need? 
     
     
     
    Dana R. Fisher argues that there is a realistic path forward for climate action—but only through mass mobilization that responds to the growing severity and frequency of disastrous events. She assesses the current state of affairs and shows why public policy and private-sector efforts have been ineffective. Spurred by this lack of progress, climate activism has become increasingly confrontational. Fisher examines the radical flank of the climate movement: its emergence and growth, its use of direct action, and how it might evolve as the climate crisis worsens. She considers when and how activism is most successful, identifying the importance of creating community, capitalizing on shocking moments, and cultivating resilience. Clear-eyed yet optimistic, Saving Ourselves offers timely insights on how social movements can take power back and open windows of opportunity for transformative climate action.

    Our AI - My Journey Your...

    Our AI is a human story about artificial intelligence, offering a seat at the table for anyone curious, cautious, or already in deep. It is the AI Book for People Who Don't Want to Read About AI (but also kind of do). 
    When I discovered ChatGPT, I didn't study it, I just used it and built my work around it. Like millions of others, I jumped in without understanding what I was getting into. 
    Then the headlines got darker, AI blackmailing researchers, jobs disappearing overnight. Something that felt helpful suddenly felt... complicated. 
    Our AI isn't another tech explainer. It's a personal story about what happens when you fall for something you don't fully understand and then realise you need to.  
    As a community worker, I've spent my career helping people find their voice in decisions that affect their lives. When AI started reshaping everything, I recognised a familiar pattern: big promises up front, while early consequences start appearing (some jobs already disappearing, data centres straining resources, opportunities concentrating in fewer hands). I've seen this before in other systems, and I know where it leads if communities don't have a voice.  
    This is my personal journey, and I don't just stay in algorithms and AI.  I follow the trail from a rural Australian caravan park to mines in Congo, from city sewers to satellites, from community meetings to corporate boardrooms. It's unpredictable, sometimes funny, always honest, and it connects dots you might not expect.   
    This isn't about doomsday predictions or technical jargon. It's about recognising patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations shaping our future, with or without us. 
    This book is your invitation. AI is here whether we like it or not. The question isn't whether to engage, but whether we just get swept along or have say in how it shapes us. This is my story of figuring that out, and an invitation for you to do the same.

  • Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads - The American Way of Death in Football Conditioning - cover

    “Football’s massive popularity is undeniable, as are the many reasons players and fans are drawn to the game. But what is also undeniable is the game’s brutality and the troubling aspects of football culture at all levels. To whatever extent the reader shares Irv Muchnick’s perspective and conclusions, the evidence and arguments he presents deserve thoughtful attention.” — Bob Costas, Emmy Award–winning sportscaster 
    		 
    “Muchnick’s jeremiad digs deeper than ever into the greed and hypocrisy of high school and college football, and the trail of broken bodies left in their wake. His information on the perils of conditioning is essential reading and might save your kid’s life.” — Robert Lipsyte, author of The Contender and SportsWorld
    		 
    Football’s concussion crisis is well known, with our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that kid players across the continent die every year before a single ball is snapped — just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? And then, when the unimaginable happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims’ families, and moves on …
    		 
    Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads presents the shocking stories of young men struck down by exertional heatstroke and other, often unacknowledged, causes. Taking the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport’s underreported worst tragedies and cover-ups it makes the case that no matter how much we enjoy America’s most popular sport at elite levels it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.
