Описание: A provocative and accessible investigation of the intersection between women, feminism, machines and, in particular, information technology, this text argues that the computer is rewriting old conceptions of "man and his world". It suggests that the telecoms revolution is also a sexual revolution which undermines the fundamental assumptions crucial to patriarchal culture. Historical, contemporary and possible future developments in telecommunications and IT are interwoven with the past, present and future of feminism, women and sexual difference. Sadie Plant challenges the belief that man was ever in control either of his own agency, the planet, or his machines. The theory is that this belief is undermined by the new scientific paradigms emergent from theories of chaos, complexity and connectionism, all of which suggest that the old distinctions between man, woman, nature and technology need to be reassessed.

Описание: Miller`s Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults was adapted for the Canadian audience with its focus on the older Canadian and the professional Canadian based nurse. This Canadian approach enables students and registered nurses to acquire fundamental knowledge about the health issues faced by older Canadians and the resources that this country can offer us to provide quality nursing care. In every chapter of this textbook, students will have access to Canadian content and resources abound. The authors have showcased and shared many of the best practices that were developed and are being used in this country. In addition, they specifically added an evidence-informed nursing practice box that illustrates some of the research being done in this country. This is research that provides you and us, as Canadian nurses, with the evidence to inform our nursing practice. Evidence-informed practice is an expectation of the Canadian Nurses Association and all provincial / territorial jurisdictions.

Описание: `If you liked Atonement by Ian McEwan, you`ll love this` Harper`s BazaarThe bestselling novel from the author of The Snakes, The Outcast is a powerful portrait of unexpected love and treacherous charades against the backdrop of a sleepy post-war English village August 1957.
Описание: In the New York Times best-selling book from the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, Randall Munroe gives hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.
Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? What if everyone only had one soulmate? What would happen if the moon went away?
In pursuit of answers, Munroe ran computer simulations, pored over stacks of declassified military research memos, solved differential equations, and consulted with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. (They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.)
Far more than a book for geeks, What If? explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel much smarter for having read
