Creating Life Against the Odds

Most prospective parents, when arriving at the decision to have children, presume their journey will be an exciting and rewarding one, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby. When those dreams are shattered because they cannot conceive or miscarry, they ask, “Why me? What did I do wrong?” The trauma of infertility is as devastating to one’s self-esteem as any other life crisis, it can destroy intimate relationships–or it can bring out the best in us.

In her book, Creating Life Against the Odds, Dr. Higgins, an obstetrician/gynecologist, describes her own experience becoming a mother by ovum donation. She also shares the first hand accounts of dozens of others who have turned to assisted reproductive technology (ART) in order to realize their dreams of becoming parents. These are stories Dr. Higgins has heard from her patients and from hundreds of women (and men) she has counseled or communicated… More >>

“The thought-provoking and wide-ranging essays in this excellent new collection insist that we take both ‘media’ and ‘globalization’ as complex, dynamic, and inextricably related categories. Furthermore, they validate the editors’ insistence that the field of media studies is most profitably organized around understanding changing and unpredictable relationships among media forms and the tangled web of institutions, practices, and processes that constitute ‘the media’ at the beginning of the twenty-first century.”—Robert C. Allen, coeditor of The Television Studies Reader”The editors have assembled a truly provocative collection of essays. This is cutting-edge scholarship at its best.”—Timothy Corrigan, University of PennsylvaniaRhetoric about media technology tends to fall into two extreme categories: unequivocal celebration or blanket condemnation. This is particularly true in debate over the clash of values when first world media infiltrate third world audiences. … More >>

Global Currents: Media and Technology Now

There are many data communications titles covering design, installation, etc, but almost none that specifically focus on industrial networks, which are an essential part of the day-to-day work of industrial control systems engineers, and the main focus of an increasingly large group of network specialists.

The focus of this book makes it uniquely relevant to control engineers and network designers working in this area. The industrial application of networking is explored in terms of design, installation and troubleshooting, building the skills required to identify, prevent and fix common industrial data communications problems – both at the design stage and in the maintenance phase.

The focus of this book is ‘outside the box’. The emphasis goes beyond typical communications issues and theory to provide the necessary toolkit of knowledge to solve industrial communications problems covering RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, Fieldbus, DeviceNet, Ethernet and TCP/IP. The idea of the bo… More >>

Practical Industrial Data Networks: Design, Installation and Troubleshooting

The provision of IP-based multimedia services is one of the most exiting and challenging aspects of next generation wireless networks. A significant evolution has been underway for enabling such multimedia services and for ultimately migrating the Internet to the wireless world. This book examines this evolution, looking at an array of the most up-to-date wireless multimedia technologies and services. The first part focuses on enabling technologies for wireless multimedia, while the second is dedicated to the new wireless multimedia services that are expected to play a key role in the future wireless environment. In addition, the related recent standardization, research and industry activities are addressed.
* Covers a complete range of multimedia hot topics, ranging from audio/video coding techniques to multimedia protocols and applications
* Discusses QoS issues in WLANs, 3G and hybrid 3G/WLAN networks
* Provides in-depth discussion of the most modern multimedia … More >>

Computing Our Way to Paradise?: The Role of Internet and Communication Technologies in Sustainable Consumption and Globalization

This is a detailed account of the British and German steel industries’ performance during three decades that were marked by dramatic change. Relying on governmental and corporate archives as well as on the contemporary trade literature, Professor Wengenroth has drawn a meticulous picture of how managements in the two countries met the strategic problems raised by these changes. The author does not however merely trace technological developments; rather, he uses them as a backdrop for a contribution to the long-running debate on Britain’s relative industrial decline in the late nineteenth century….

This blog will be a mixture of things. First, I will always be targeting the technical. As a software engineer, most of the posts will be related to tools, techniques or general programming. Because you can’t read anything on the internet without seeing digg, myspace, facebook, etc, I will include posts on social media as well. Lastly, there will also be commentary and opinion on the technology news, because everyone has an opinion on google.Kindle blogs are fully downloaded onto your Kindle so you can read them even when you’re not wirelessly connected.
