The Numerati
Author: Stephen Baker
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547416555
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Learn how the crisis over digital privacy and manipulation evolved in this “utterly fascinating” look at the growth of data mining and analysis (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Award-winning journalist Stephen Baker traces the rise of the “global math elite”: computer scientists who invent ways to not only record our behavior, but also to predict and alter it. Nowadays, we don’t need to be online to create a digital trail; we do it simply by driving through an automated tollbooth or shopping with a credit card. As massive amounts of information are collected, sifted, and analyzed, we all become targets of those who want to influence everything from what we buy to how we vote. Clear and “highly readable,” The Numerati is a look at the origins of our present-day world, the possibilities of the future, and those who—whether with good or bad intentions—profile us as workers, consumers, citizens, or potential terrorists (The Wall Street Journal).

Pages : 308
Book Description
We make inaccessible and unusable websites and apps all the time, but it's not for lack of skill or talent. It's just a case of doing things the wrong way. We try to build the best experiences we can, but we only make them for ourselves and for people like us. This book looks at common interface patterns from the perspective of an inclusive designer-someone trained in building experiences that cater to the huge diversity of abilities, preferences and circumstances out there. There's no such thing as an 'average' user, but there is such a thing as an average developer. This book will take you from average to expert in the area that matters the most: making things more readable and more usable to more people.

Sexuality & Holiness.
Author: Mike Williams
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664269681
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Uncompromising but compassionate, Mike tackles the tricky issues of same-sex relationships, gender and the Church’s interaction with individuals of the LGBTQ+ community today. Writing for the Church, to challenge the Church, he does not shy away from the tough questions including: What does the Bible actually say? Are believers living with a Kingdom-first mindset or going with the cultural flow? How can the Church keep love and truth in tandem in supporting the LGBTQ+ community? And much more... This resource highlights what the Word of God plainly teaches about gender and sexuality. I would love to see faithful Christians present a copy of Sexuality & Holiness to every pastor and church leader throughout the country. Pastor John of Strengthen the Faithful As someone working with young people engulfed with pressing ethical topics of sex, sexuality, and gender, I have found this book to be an incredible resource. I highly recommend it for its honest tone and accessible style to leaders and members of youth groups alike. Jenny Ogwal, Youth Leader I know Mike Williams to be a man of integrity and he has approached this important subject with humility and compassion... Throughout the book the emphasis is that rather than being a killjoy, God actually longs to bless people. Reverend John Bridger
