The sound of the future : the coming age of voice technology / by Dengel, Tobias,author.(CARDINAL)878521; Weber, Karl,1953-author.(CARDINAL)300198;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-314) and index.Prologue: the power and potential of voice technology -- Introduction: unmistakable signs of the impending voice-technology wave -- The human needs met by voice technology. Speed: increasing the efficiency of every human-machine interaction -- Safety: creating a less dangerous world -- Knowledge: getting critical information when and where you need it -- Inclusion: creating a world where no one is left behind -- Engagement: making life more creative, entertaining, and enjoyable -- Transformation: voice-enabled business models that will change industry landscapes -- Rise to the challenge. Falling barriers: overcoming the technical, organizational, and social challenges to voice technology -- Making voice an integral part of your existing business systems -- Training voice tools to understand your world -- Designing and redesigning the multimodal user experience."Voice is the next technology--remarkably similar in potential impact to the Internet and mobile computing--poised to change the way the world works. Tobias Dengel is in the vanguard of this breakthrough, understanding the deep, wide-ranging implications voice will have for every industry. And here he connects the dots about this emerging paradigm to vividly illustrate how business leaders can stay ahead of the game, rather than scrambling to catch up, as voice technology gradually reveals its power, creating a host of new winners and losers. Using fascinating, colorful stories, Dengel explains how the "voice-first" experience is becoming part of the global technology mainstream, exploring the ways voice will do a better job of serving basic human needs such as safety, speed, accuracy, convenience, and fun, as well as making it possible for hundreds of millions of people around the planet to participate more fully and productively in today's high-tech world by making interactions with technology virtually effortless. A pervasive technology like the Internet and mobile, voice, with applications in marketing, sales, service, manufacturing, and logistics, will change the way we work at every level and every function, driving down costs, boosting productivity, and enabling the creation of entirely new business models. This is not simply about Siri and Alexa. They are the tantalizing but incomplete precursors of the ultimate interface that will make technology easier, faster, more accurate, and more human."--

Red ink : native Americans picking up the pen in the colonial period / by Lopenzina, Drew.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Survival writing : contesting the pen and ink work of colonialism -- Wussuckwheke or the painted letter : glimpses of native signification acknowledged and unwitnessed (1492-1643) -- Praying Indians, printing devils : centers of indigeniety within colonial containments (1643-1665) -- King Philip's signature : ascribing Philip's name to land, war and history in native New England (1660-1709) -- Beneath the wave : the maintenance of native tradition in hidden transcripts (1709-1768) -- A tale of two settlements : Mohican, Mohegan and the road to Brothertown (1724-1785) -- Afterword: O' Brothertown where art thou.The Native peoples of colonial New England were quick to grasp the practical functions of Western literacy. Their written literary output was composed to suit their own needs and expressed views often in resistance to the agendas of the European colonists they were confronted with. Red Ink is an engaging retelling of American colonial history, one that draws on documents that have received scant critical and scholarly attention to offer an important new interpretation grounded in indigenous contexts and perspectives. Author Drew Lopenzina reexamines a literature that has been compulsively "corrected" and overinscribed with the norms and expectations of the dominant culture, while simultaneously invoking the often violent tensions of "contact" and the processes of unwitnessing by which Native histories and accomplishments were effectively erased from the colonial record. In a compelling narrative arc, Lopenzina enables the reader to travel through a history that, however familiar, has never been fully appreciated or understood from a Native-centered perspective.

This land is our land!. by Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; TMW Media Group.;
Forces that shape our earth: Explore the major landforms of our world with spectacular video footage. Look at the various forces that affect our physical environment including glaciers, volcanoes, gravity, rivers, lakes and oceans, movement in the earth, wind and temperature changes. This video is a superb introduction to the ways all these forces work together to shape our planet.Geology of caves and caverns: Illustrates what water can do below the earth's surface, over long periods of time. Using animated and real life sequences, this program explores some important caves, their formations and teaches students how underground water dissolves limestone to form caves, caverns, stalagmites, stalagtites and boxfork formations.Glaciers that shape our earth: Glaciers have had a more profound effect on the surface of the earth than probably any other geological process. This is the one audiovisual aid you SHOULD have to explain the world of glaciers to your students. This video clearly investigates what glaciers do and how they affected most of North America.The hydrologic cycle: Examines one of the most important processes that affect life on earth. The water cycle is covered from transpiration through evaporation to condensation, precipitation and run-off.Underground water: Discusses how water is trapped between grains of rock underground. Discover wells, water flow, hydrology, artesian wells and the water table.Waves, coastlines and beaches: This live-action video deals with the geological processes that take place where ocean meets land. Learn how erosional and depositional processes form features such as rugged coastlines, barrier islands, spits, Tombolos, wave cut terraces sea stacks and beaches. Animated sequences take you underwater to show processes underway just off the shoreline.Why is the ocean salty: All water, even rainwater contains dissolved chemicals which scientists call "Salts." These salts eventually wash down into rivers and streams and eventually find their way into oceans and seas. Subjects covered include: The origin of the sea. The sources of salt. The components of sea water. The salinity of the sea and its variability. How sea life affects sea waters composition.Ages 10+.Grades 5+.

The new Huey P. Newton reader / by Newton, Huey P.,author.(CARDINAL)122191; Hilliard, David,editor.(CARDINAL)371826; Weise, Donald,editor.(CARDINAL)658584; Brown, Elaine,1943-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)363216;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 381-382)."The first comprehensive collection of writings by the Black Panther Party founder and revolutionary icon of the black liberation era, now in a new edition with a new introduction by former Black Panther Party chairman Elaine Brown. The Huey P. Newton Reader combines now-classic texts from Newton's books (Revolutionary Suicide, To Die for the People, In Search of Common Ground, and War Against the Panthers) ranging in topic from the formation of the Black Panthers, African Americans and armed self-defense, Eldridge Cleaver's controversial expulsion from the Party, FBI infiltration of civil rights groups, the Vietnam War, and the burgeoning feminist movement. Editors Hilliard and Weise also include never-before-published writings from the Black Panther Party archives and Newton's private collection, including articles on President Nixon, prison martyr George Jackson, Pan-Africanism, affirmative action, and the author's only written account of his political exile in Cuba in the mid-1970s. Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Geronimo Pratt all came to international prominence through Newton's groundbreaking political activism. Additionally, Newton served as the Party's chief intellectual engine, conversing with world leaders such as Yasser Arafat, Chinese premier Chou Enlai, and Mozambique president Samora Moises Machel among others. Beginning with his founding of the Black Panther Party in 1966, HUEY P. NEWTON (1941-89) set the political stage for events that would quickly place him and the Panthers at the forefront of the African American liberation movement for the next twenty years"--

Without fear / by Hunt, David,1942-author.(CARDINAL)418428; Pineiro, R. J.,author.(CARDINAL)384134;
"Southern Afghanistan, 2005. NATO forces are battling the Taliban across Kandahar Province. In a terrifying twist, the rebels unearth a tactical nuclear bomb lost in the final days of the Soviet occupation. The years buried in the sand have damaged it, so the Taliban seeks the help of al Qaeda to secure replacement parts through its contacts in Saudi Arabia, the Opium Cartel, and the Russian Mafia. Doing so, however, inadvertently alerts the Americans, the Russians, and the Israelis. Hunter Stark and his team of CIA contractors are on the chase, dispensing explosive waves of violence to track where the Taliban is hiding the weapon. But Russian Spetsnaz and Israeli Mossad operatives are also in the region following their own agendas--as is NATO--triggering chaos and confusion. The stakes skyrocket when a courier delivers the components and the weapon becomes functional, forcing Stark to drive full throttle, without fear, into a world of terror, going beyond duty and honor to prevent the unthinkable."

The power of music : pioneering discoveries in the new science of song / by Mannes, Elena.(CARDINAL)434882;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-251) and index.The musical body and brain. Feel the sound ; Music plays the body ; The brain plays music ; Is music our genetic birthright? -- The musical self. Musical structure, agony and ecstasy ; Mind-bending notes : can music make us smarter? ; Music speaks ; Why music? -- The resonant world. Whale songs, elephant bands, and dancing birds ; The music of the spheres -- Music Rx. Pain, pills - or music ; The next wave? ; Beyond the concert hall.This book is a pathbreaking exploration into how and why the human organism -- and the ebb and flow of the cosmos -- is moved by the undeniable effect of music. As Elena Mannes reveals in her eye-opening book, we are at a breakthrough moment in music research, for only recently has science sought in earnest to understand and explain the power of music and its connection to the body, the brain, and the world of nature. The award-winning creator of the acclaimed documentary The Music Instinct: Science & Song follows visionary researchers and accomplished musicians to unveil the latest discoveries in the new science of music. How much of our musicality is learned and how much is innate? Can examining the biological foundations of music help scientists unravel the intricate web of human cognition and brain function? Why is music virtually universal across cultures and time, and does it provide some evolutionary advantage? Can music make people healthier? Might music contain organizing principles of harmonic vibration that underlie the cosmos itself? One remarkable recent study shows that infants' cries contain common musical intervals. Physics experiments show that sound waves can change the structure of a material; world-famous musician Bobby McFerrin believes musical sound vibrations physically penetrate our bodies, shifting molecules as they do. From neurologist Gottfried Schlaug and X-ray astronomer Andrew Fabian, who studies the actual music of the spheres, to opera star Deborah Voigt and the deaf Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie, who "hears" through her feet, Mannes takes us to the crossroads of science and culture. Perhaps most remarkably, she explores the power of music to heal. "We can imagine a day," she writes, "when doctors write prescriptions for music," knowing what precise combinations of notes and styles affect different parts of the body and mind. - Publisher.
