Net neutrality and the battle for the open internet / by Kimball, Danny,1983-author.(CARDINAL)864104;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-264) and index.Machine generated contents note: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- The Broadband Battle -- Chapter 1 -- Democratic Communications Infrastructure, Discourse, Policy, and Advocacy -- Chapter 2 -- Defining Broadband -- Chapter 3 -- Clash of Titans or Best of Frenemies? -- Chapter 4 -- Nuclear Net Neutrality -- Chapter 5 -- The Title II Turn -- Chapter 6 -- Organizing for Net Neutrality -- Conclusion -- Boring Points -- Bibliography -- Index.""Net neutrality," a dry but crucial standard of openness in network access, began as a technical principle informing obscure policy debates but became the flashpoint for an all-out political battle for the future of communications and culture. Net Neutrality and the Struggle for the Open Internet is a critical cultural history of net neutrality that reveals how this intentionally "boring" world of internet infrastructure and regulation hides a fascinating and pivotal sphere of power, with lessons for communication and media scholars, activists, and anyone interested in technology and politics. While previous studies and academic discussions of net neutrality have been dominated by legal, economic, and technical perspectives, Net Neutrality and the Struggle for the Open Internet offers a humanities-based critical theoretical approach to net neutrality, telling the story of how activists and millions of everyday people, online and in the streets, were able to challenge the power of the phone and cable corporations that historically dominated communications policy-making to advance equality and justice in media and technology"--

Thirty-six and a half motives / by Swank, Denise Grover.(CARDINAL)353939;
Rose Gardner should be celebrating the arrest of her fiercest enemy J.R. Simmons. But problems are like weeds--pluck one and five more spring up, Rose's boyfriend is on the verge of leaving her for good, her best friend, Neely Kate, is grappling with marriage problems, and her sister has a devastating secret. To make matters worse, she discovers J.R. Simmons has not been neutralized. His network of allies and henchman extends further than she suspected, and J.R.'s so intent on revenge, his lackeys might just destroy Fenton County to get it for him. But the girl who once spent her days alone and afraid is now a strong, independent woman with a network of her own, including Neely Kate. Skeeter Malcolm--the reigning king of the Fenton County underworld--and other loyal friends on both sides of the law. Racing against time, they must dig up J.R.'s empire by the roots, unmasking his allies and unearthing his secrets, both the behind-the-scenes manipulation he's been orchestrating in Fenton County for decades and the dark stains of his personal life. If Rose succeeds, she tells herself the quiet and peaceful life she once dreamed of will be at the end of the tunnel. But her quest to destroy J.R. will require her to explore the person she has become, what she wants, and what that means for her future.

The age of reform, 1890 to 1920 / by Carlisle, Rodney P.(CARDINAL)157654;
MARCIVE 09/21/09Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Family and daily life -- Material culture -- Social attitudes -- Cities and urban life -- Rural life -- Religion -- Education -- Science and technology -- Entertainment and sports -- Crime and violence -- Labor and employment -- Military and wars -- Population trends and migration -- Transportation -- Public health, medicine, and nutrition."The early 20th-century in America was characterized by technological advancements. Chief among these was the rapid replacement of horse-drawn vehicles by gasoline-powered cars, which necessitated a nationwide network of paved highways and filling stations. Concern over unchecked industrialization and pollution led to a new awareness of nature and the creation of the nation's national park system. As well, the racial landscape of America was altered by the exodus of large numbers of African Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North. While U.S. participation in World War I was limited due to a lengthy policy of neutrality, the conflict produced a shift in the country's values that shaped both popular and political culture for the rest of the century, exemplified by the ratification in 1920 of the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote."--p.[4] of cover.

Spark [sound recording]/ by Twelve Hawks, John,author.(CARDINAL)470031; Brick, Scott(CARDINAL)344793; Books on Tape, Inc.(CARDINAL)534890;
Read by Scott Brick.Jacob Underwood is a contract employee of the Special Services Section, a shadow department in the faceless multinational corporation DBG. Jacob is not a businessman, he is a hired assassin, and his job is to neutralize problems deemed unacceptable by the corporation. Jacob is not like other employees, nor is he like other people. Suffering from Cotard's syndrome, a real condition that causes people to believe they are dead, Jacob perceives himself as nothing but a Shell with no emotion and no sense of right or wrong. Emily Buchanan is a bright young second-year associate for DBG, and she has disappeared without a trace. Suspecting she may have stolen valuable information and a fortune from the company, Miss Holquist, Jacob's handler at DBG, assigns him the task of tracking her down and neutralizing her. Jacob's condition allows him to carry out assignments with ruthless, logical precision, devoid of guilt, fear, or dishonor. But as his new assignment draws him inside a labyrinthine network of dark dealings, Jacob finds himself up against something he is completely incapable of understanding. Spark is an ingenious and chilling vision of modern-day humanity under constant, invasive surveillance and a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse.Compact disc.
