Seen, heard, and paid : the new work rules for the marginalized / by Henry, Alan,1947-2016,author.(CARDINAL)727052;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-267) and index.Inclusion only works if everybody buys in (Being marginalized) -- Even "positive" stereotypes have negative impact (Microagressions) -- Trust your experience (Gaslighting) -- Only spend time on work that gets you attention (Being seen) -- Office housework will never get you ahead (Getting the glamour work) -- Figure out your unique contribution (Being a superstar) -- Be a problem solver, not a problem complainer (Managing up) -- Don't fall for productivity porn (Prioritizing your work) -- Give your in-box its time, but no more (Being mindful) -- Create the productivity system that works for you (Doing the work) -- Always look busy (Focusing on the important work) -- Protect yourself (Tracking your work) -- Set and protect your boundaries (Working remotely) -- Data is power, and power is money (Getting paid) -- Your job is not your friend (Knowing when to go).For over twenty years, Alan Henry has written about using technology and productivity techniques to work and live better for publications such as Lifehacker, The New York Times, and Wired. But he found that as a Black man he didn't have access to some of the more powerful ways to hack your job--like only checking email once a day or blocking out time on your calendar to do deep work. In fact, he found that even when he landed a prestigious title at the Times, there were moments when he was still overlooked and excluded from the most interesting and career-boosting work. This led him to first explore these struggles in a Times piece titled "Productivity Without Privilege." Now he goes even deeper, interviewing experts across multiple fields to come up with powerful tools to overcome the forces of marginalization. In Seen, Heard, and Paid, Henry shares the new work rules that may finally allow people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks to have the same access to career advancement and rewarding work as those with more privilege.

Mapping Census 2000, the geography of U.S. diversity / by Brewer, Cynthia A.,1960-(CARDINAL)266522; Suchan, Trudy A.,1955-(CARDINAL)266521; Brewer, Cynthia A.,1960-Mapping Census 2000, the geography of U.S. diversity, 2000.; United States.Bureau of the Census.(CARDINAL)171405;
Includes bibliographical references."Mapping Census 2000: The Geography of U.S. Diversity is an atlas of the American people. It presents in dramatic, graphic fashion a key-set of data from Census 2000, that once-a-decade head count of all U.S. residents. This data shows the degree to which this nation of immigrants has become more ethnically and racially diverse than ever before. Its 281,421,906 residents possess a collective heritage that links them - and the nation - to virtually every corner of planet earth. And nothing illustrates such changes better than maps." "Using the latest geographic information technology (CIS) from ESRI, cartographers Cynthia A. Brewer and Trudy A. Suchan have taken Census 2000 data and assembled an atlas of maps that illustrate the new American diversity in vivid detail." "Several aspects make Census 2000 an especially fascinating data resource. This most recent census included new and expanded categories of racial and ethnic identity by which residents could accurately identify themselves. In addition, 2000 was the first time that residents were allowed to identify themselves as belonging to multiple ethnic categories, resulting in a new and more accurate portrait of the population. And residents of Hispanic origin, one of the most important and fastest-growing demographic groups in the country, could identify themselves in new ways."--BOOK JACKET.

Yet it is rare to find someone prepared to defend all freedom of speech, especially if the views expressed are obnoxious or obviously false. So where do we draw the line? How important is our right to freedom of speech? In this accessible and up-to-date Very Short Introduction, Nigel Warburton covers a wide range of controversial free-speech issues, from Holocaust denial and pornography to the status of modern copyright law. The book offers a concise guide to many of the vexing issues concerning our right to speak freely, including: Should a civilized society set limits on freedom of speech? How can we balance free speech with the sensitivities of religious and minority groups? How have digital technology and the Internet changed the debate?

The verifiers / by Pek, Jane,author.(CARDINAL)850897;
"Claudia Lin is looking at a cliched post-college future as a chronically underemployed English major--much to the consternation of her mother, who wants her to settle down and start dating a nice Chinese boy already; her brother, who pushes her to follow in his model-minority footsteps; and her sister, who can't get over Claudia's privileged place in their mother's affections. But Claudia is used to keeping secrets from her family. Such as the fact that she prefers girls--and that she's embarking on an unsuitable but supremely fun career. Veracity, a two-and-a-half-person detective agency that operates out of a Manhattan townhouse and verifies people's online dating personas, has recruited Claudia via an online murder mystery game. A lifelong reader of mystery novels, Claudia takes to her new job sniffing out cheaters and catfishers like a latter-day lovechild of Elizabeth Bennet and Sherlock Holmes. But when one of her very first clients turns up dead, Claudia breaks with Veracity's protocols to investigate what happened, unconvinced by the story everyone else believes. The deeper she digs, the more she discovers that nothing--her client, the death, the dating platforms that claim to know us better than we know ourselves, Veracity, even her own family--may be as it seems. Part literary mystery, part family story, The Verifiers is a witty and incisive examination of how technology shapes our choices, and what role romantic love plays in the digital age"--

Citizen spies : the long rise of America's surveillance society / by Reeves, Joshua,author.(CARDINAL)415871;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Ever since the revelations of whistleblower Edward Snowden, we think about surveillance as the data-tracking digital technologies used by the likes of Google, the National Security Administration, and the military. But in reality, the state and allied institutions have a much longer history of using everyday citizens to spy and inform on their peers. [This book] shows how 'If You See Something, Say Something' is more than just a new homeland security program; it has been an essential civic responsibility throughout the history of the United States. From the town crier of Colonial America to the recruitment of youth through 'junior police, ' to the rise of Neighborhood Watch, AMBER Alerts, and Emergency 9-1-1, [the author] explores how ordinary citizens have been taught to carry out surveillance on their peers. Emphasizing the role humans play as 'seeing' and 'saying' subjects, he demonstrates how American society has continuously fostered cultures of vigilance, suspicion, meddling, snooping, and snitching. Tracing the evolution of police crowd-sourcing from 'Hue and Cry' posters and America's Most Wanted to police-affiliated social media, as well as the U.S.'s recurrent anxieties about political dissidents and ethnic minorities from the Red Scare to the War on Terror, [the author] teases out how vigilance toward neighbors has long been aligned with American ideals of patriotic and moral duty. Taking the long view of the history of the citizen spy, this book offers a...perspective for those interested in how we arrived at our current moment in surveillance culture and contextualizes contemporary trends in policing."--

Sword stone table : old legends, new voices / by Krishna, Swapna,editor.; Northington, Jenn,editor.;
"Featuring stories by a bestselling, cross-genre assortment of some of the most exciting writers working today, an anthology of gender-bent, queered, race-bent, and inclusive retellings from the vast lore surrounding King Arthur, Camelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. The stories are so iconic that just a name, a word, conjures romance and betrayal, chivalry and magic. These are legends so embedded in our culture that they feel real; that as early as the twelfth century, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Thomas Malory, and Edmund Spenser were like, "I gotta get to writing fanfic of that." Indeed, from their very earliest incarnations, these stories were waiting to be reinterpreted and retold; they have lived through the centuries because they were transformed. Sword Stone Table marks a continuation of that tradition and the start of a brand-new one. Here you'll find the Lady of the Lake reimagined as a Ugandan sorceress and the Lady of Shalott as a wealthy, isolated woman in a futuristic Mexico City penthouse spying on Lancelot via advanced technology; you'll discover Excalibur reformed as a baseball bat that grants a washed-up minor leaguer a fresh shot at glory and as a lost ceremonial drum that returns to a young First Nations boy the power and the dignity of his people. There are stories set in turn-of-the-century Chicago, '80s New York, twenty-first century Singapore, and space; there are lesbian lady knights, Arthur and Merlin reborn in the modern era for a second chance at saving the world and falling in love--even a coffee shop AU. Brave, bold, and groundbreaking, the stories in Sword Stone Table will bring fresh life to beloved myths and give long-time fans a chance to finally see themselves in their favorite legends"--
