Chaos & cyberculture / by Leary, Timothy,1920-1996,author.;
America's most dangerous man -- according to Richard Nixon -- and the Pied Piper of Youth is BACK! This book is about designing Chaos and fashioning your personal disorder: On screens with cyber tools from counterculture perspectives with informational chemicals (Chaos drugs) while delighting in cybernetics as guerrilla artists who explore de-animation alternatives while surfing the waves of millennium madness to glimpse the glorious wild impossibilities and improbabilities of the century to come. Enjoy it! It's ours to be played with! "Chaos & CyberCulture" conveys Timothy Leary's vision of the emergence of a new humanism with an emphasis on questioning authority, independent thinking, individual creativity, and the empowerment of computers and other technologies. Leary's last great work, this book includes over 100,000 words in 40 chapters and 80 illustrations, as well as conversations with William Gibson, Winona Ryder, William S. Burroughs, and David Byrne. Timothy Leary, the visionary Harvard psychologist who became a guru of the '60s counterculture, has reemerged as an icon of the new edge cyberpunks.

Digital literacy, inclusivity and sustainable development in Africa / by Asamoah-Hassan, Helena,editor.(CARDINAL)888002;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Sustainable development can only be achieved when no one is left behind. An enduring lesson from the COVID-19 crisis is how important the availability of digital infrastructure and skills for individuals and communities is for teaching, learning, employability or just being able to participate fully in society. Digital literacy has become critical for millions all over the world and the need has been keenly felt in Africa, where so many have had to quickly adapt and use online platforms for various purposes. The African library sector has been a key advocate for digital literacy across the continent. But what has been achieved and how? How has digital literacy assisted user communities? What remains to be done?"--

The triple bind : saving our teenage girls from today's pressures / by Hinshaw, Stephen P.(CARDINAL)516877; Kranz, Rachel.(CARDINAL)202774;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-228).Impossible expectations -- Blue jeans and "blue" genes : depression and the Triple Bind -- Life in the pressure cooker : impossible expectations and the culture of busy-ness -- No place to run, no place to hide : the popular culture of "self-erasing identities" -- When virtue is its own punishment : how empathy and verbal skills may put our girls at higher risk -- Bratz dolls and Pussycat Dolls : teaching our girls to become sexual objects -- The wired child : how cyberculture interferes with girls' identities -- See Jane hit : the new culture of violence among teenage girls -- Is there a Triple Bind solution? -- Conclusion: Coming to terms with the Triple Bind.In many ways, today is the best time in history to be a girl: opportunities for a girl's success are as unlimited as her dreams. Yet societal expectations, cultural trends, and conflicting messages are creating what psychologist Stephen Hinshaw calls "the Triple Bind." Girls are now expected to excel at "girl skills," achieve "boy goals," and be models of female perfection, 100 percent of the time--putting more and more girls at risk for aggression, eating disorders, depression, and even suicide. Dr. Hinshaw shows concerned parents how to listen, learn, and help girls unlock the shackles of the Triple Bind, discussing key topics, including: how internal conflict can turn self-expression into self-destruction; how traditionally feminine qualities like empathy, self-awareness, and verbal ability can put girls at risk for anxiety, depression, and other disorders; the oversexualization of girls; and the reasons girls are channeling pressure into violence.--From publisher description.

Not so long ago, the digital world was the province of adults, business, and the world of work. Today, there is a very definite teen cyberculture, developed by kids who are growing up online. This digital world provides a private space, where kids communicate with their friends, do schoolwork, and also face the dangers posed by predators and cyberbullies. The Internet is forging a society with fundamentally different properties, leaving parents grapple with the question of how to manage kids interactions with a world where the partition between public and private has effectively disappeared.Not rated (may not be suitable for young children; viewer discretion is advised).System requirements for access to DVD-ROM feature: computer with DVD-ROM drive; Adobe Reader or equivalent.
