Описание: Weather control. Juxtaposing those two words is enough to raise eyebrows in a world where even the best weather models still fail to nail every forecast, and when the effects of climate change on sea level height, seasonal averages of weather phenomena, and biological behavior are being watched with interest by all, regardless of political or scientific persuasion. But between the late nineteenth century--when the United States first funded an attempt to "shock" rain out of clouds--and the late 1940s, rainmaking (as it had been known) became weather control. And then things got out of control. In Make It Rain, Kristine C. Harper tells the long and somewhat ludicrous history of state-funded attempts to manage, manipulate, and deploy the weather in America. Harper shows that governments from the federal to the local became helplessly captivated by the idea that weather control could promote agriculture, health, industrial output, and economic growth at home, or even be used as a military weapon and diplomatic tool abroad. Clear fog for landing aircraft? There's a project for that. Gentle rain for strawberries? Let's do it Enhanced snowpacks for hydroelectric utilities? Check. The heyday of these weather control programs came during the Cold War, as the atmosphere came to be seen as something to be defended, weaponized, and manipulated. Yet Harper demonstrates that today there are clear implications for our attempts to solve the problems of climate change.

Описание: Modern life as we know it is a battlefield of good versus evil, of life versus death, and of common sense versus insanity. Ideologies more powerful than family, religion and patriotism undermine the very fabric of society. In fact, the world has become a scary place, especially for those who remember the 70's. Emphatically we are encouraged to embrace the future and its technological advances. However, we undermine and fail to realize the underlying forces that influence the culture wars. Discover why today's disillusioned youth are willing to tear apart the nation's ideals in the name of socialism, pro-choice, and the zombifying allure to mass media. Politics and religion have the greatest effects on our lives. Ironically, no one wishes to address the concerns. As a result, ideology maintains its psychological stranglehold as society digresses. Subsequently, considering the current state of affairs, is there even hope going forward? It is certain we must embrace the future, discover the truth, facts not taught in schools or the pulpit. However, keep in mind you're now at the batter's box. It's your turn to rise to the occasion. Consequently, it is essential you recognize good, evil, heaven and hell are within you For that reason, you need to ask the following; have I too forsaken God in the name of popularity?

Описание:
Taking "Gangnam Style" seriously: what Internet memes can tell us about digital culture.
In December 2012, the exuberant video "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube clip to be viewed more than one billion times. Thousands of its viewers responded by creating and posting their own variations of the video--"Mitt Romney Style," "NASA Johnson Style," "Egyptian Style," and many others. "Gangnam Style" (and its attendant parodies, imitations, and derivations) is one of the most famous examples of an Internet meme: a piece of digital content that spreads quickly around the web in various iterations and becomes a shared cultural experience. In this book, Limor Shifman investigates Internet memes and what they tell us about digital culture.
Shifman discusses a series of well-known Internet memes -- including "Leave Britney Alone," the pepper-spraying cop, LOLCats, Scumbag Steve, and Occupy Wall Street's "We Are the 99 Percent." She offers a novel definition of Internet memes: digital content units with common characteristics, created with awareness of each other, and circulated, imitated, and transformed via the Internet by many users. She differentiates memes from virals; analyzes what makes memes and virals successful; describes popular meme genres; discusses memes as new modes of political participation in democratic and nondemocratic regimes; and examines memes as agents of globalization.
Memes, Shifman argues, encapsulate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet in general and of the participatory Web 2.0 culture in particular. Internet memes may be entertaining, but in this book Limor Shifman makes a compelling argument for taking them seriously.
