Sinopsis

Mac vs PC explores the epic battle between Apple's Macintosh and the IBM PC, a contest that fundamentally shaped the personal computer revolution. This book dives into not only the technical aspects of operating systems and hardware architecture but also the strategic business decisions that fueled this technology rivalry.

 
The book reveals how the PC's open architecture and the "Wintel" alliance allowed it to dominate, while the Macintosh emphasized a closed, vertically integrated system. The book details how the PC's licensing model fostered a thriving ecosystem, contrasting Apple's more controlled approach. It also highlights how both platforms shaped technological innovation, influencing productivity and communication.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, first laying the groundwork with introductions of key players and their visions, then examining the hardware architectures of the Macintosh and the PC. Finally, the book analyzes market positioning strategies employed by Apple and IBM, examining their advertising campaigns and pricing models.

 
By exploring the interdisciplinary connections among computer science, business strategy, and design, Mac vs PC provides a nuanced perspective on why the PC triumphed, a victory not solely attributed to superior technology. This book is valuable for anyone seeking insights into personal computer history, technology rivalry, and the dynamics of open versus closed ecosystems.

    Over the past two decades, medical and therapeutic approaches to transgender patients have changed radically, from treating a supposed pathology to offering gender-affirming care. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Buenos Aires, Care without Pathology moves across the Americas to show how trans- health activists have taken on the project of depathologization. 
     
     
     
    In New York, Christoph Hanssmann examines activist attempts to overturn bans on using public health dollars to fund trans- health care. In Argentina, he traces how trans- activists marshaled medical statistics and personal biographies to reveal state violence directed against trans- people and travestis. Hanssmann also demonstrates the importance of understanding transphobia in the broader context of gendered racism, ableism, and antipoverty, arguing for the rise of a thoroughly coalition-based mass mobilization. 
     
     
     
    Care without Pathology highlights the distributive arguments activists made to access state funding for health care, combating state arguments that funding trans- health care is too specialized, too expensive, and too controversial. Hanssmann situates trans- health as a crucible within which sweeping changes are taking place—with potentially far-reaching effects on the economic and racial barriers to accessing care.
