Kedilerin Dünyası-Marjorie Sarnat TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Destek Yayınları

The novel is set in a number of present day cities, in a way that seems futuristic/sci-fi. I read this book in a class called "The Novel and Globalization"--and I believe having that context was helpful-at first. As the book progressed the suspence was built on the mystery of where the many relavent themes and styles converge in the plot. My favorite part of reading the book was digesting the refernces to art, architecture, and literature, throughout that acutally added meaning to the text rather than just being "name dropped" for the sake of it. I think this is one of the real reason why this novel can be creddited with dealing with the post-modern problem of recycling refernces--Gibson highlights the difference between the ones that matter and the ones that don't. My favorite example: "As the elevator doors close behind her, she closes her eyes and sees the dry petal, falling. The lonliness of ojbects. Their secret lives. Like seeing something move in a Cornell box." (A funny side note for those who've read it (no spoiler): It's being made into a movie, and an F:F:F-like forum has errupted on imdb, very funny to experience in real life after reading about it.

Kuramdan Uygulamaya Matematik Eğitimi - Adnan Baki TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Harf Eğitim Yayıncılık

I'd like to give this 3.5 stars. I picked this book up at the library bookstore for cheap and used it as an easy way to finish out an online book challenge in which I was participating. The plot is out there, the writing isn't great, the story is cheesey and yet, I really enjoyed this book! It is a super short read that is really delightful in its own way. I totally cried at the end, which was unexpected. A great way to pass a few hours. :)

I really liked the firsthand account and setting of the experience in NYC. Impressive.. But, I did not finish it. Some of the mundane parts of life are just, well, mundane. It did inspire me to go further with my own conservation efforts.

Advanced Reader Copy giveaway? Oh, yes! Then ... Wait, it's the USA and Canada only. Let me just wait five years for the book to come out in Australia. I think I could go on forever on this topic. Clearly, I need to move to America.

Büyük Dua Kitabı Mecmuatü’l Ahzab (Ciltli Şamua) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Bahar Yayınevi

To search for something on the Web using Google is not unlike confessing your desires to a mysterious power. — Siva Vaidhyanathan In one of my national democratic youth activist friends online conversations with Simsimi, the free artificial intelligence conversation program, they were flattered to hear positive responses about the mass organizations of which they were active members. When they asked about a pseudo-progressive group, my friends were surprised to read a very militant reply disparaging the said party. I tried asking Simsimi about the same group on a separate occasion and was astonished to see the same kind of response: “oportunista’t repormista.” Simsimi, seemingly all-knowing with his capacity to answer in all languages and bring out replies closely mirroring our own opinions or alternatively poking fun at us, seems to stand-in for the kind of domination Google exercises over our lives. Simsimi has become the personification of Google as described in Siva Vaidhyanathan’s The Googlization of Everything (And Why We Should Worry). One of the worrying aspects of Google that the book describes is its tendency to tailor-fit its search engine to “fit your known locality, interests, obsessions, fetishes, and points of view” in order to give the user the “right” results faster. It is indeed more efficient. However, this also means that “Your Web search experience will reinforce whatever affiliations, interests, opinions, and biases you already possess. And it is fraught, Vaidhyanathan warns, with even more insidious implications: As of late 2009, Google Maps users in China saw the area marked as part of Tibet; those in India still saw it designated as part of India. Google Maps applied the same treatment to disputed areas of the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir, which have majority Muslim populations and have been claimed by Pakistan since the two nations were divided in 1947. By organizing and putting together vast amounts of knowledge – from archives, libraries, government records, company inventories, both offline and online markets, to the personal whereabouts of netizens, we seem to be seeing the Googlization of “everything.” Google has become the dominant way to navigate the web. But by using Google we are not only searching for things on the Internet, we are also giving away markers that allow Google to record information about us. Its services’ pervasiveness, Vaidhyanathan observes, has made it possible for Google to shape us: “we are not Google’s customers: we are its product. We—our fancies, fetishes, predilections, and preferences—are what Google sells to advertisers.” Its biases (valuing popularity over accuracy, established sites over new, and rough rankings over more fluid or multidimensional models of presentation) are built into its algorithms. And those biases affect how we value things, perceive things, and navigate the worlds of culture and ideas. In other words, we are folding the interface and structures of Google into our very perceptions. Does anything (or anyone) matter if it (or she) does not show up on the first page of a Google search? Here are some of the big questions facing us in the coming years: Who—if not Google—will control, judge, rank, filter, and deliver to us essential information? We use Google for free. In return, we generate voluminous dossiers for Google’s consumer profiling which is actually its core business. Through Google, especially through its adjunct services Google Maps, the world has become one big object for surveillance. And we are all too happy surrendering ourselves to this new Big Brother’s whims. One of the myths used counteract these fears of “infrastructural imperialism” is the mantra that the dissemination of technology automatically tends towards democratization, popular participation, and people empowerment by dispersing communicative methods to individuals. Citing the mass upsurge that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the more recent popular uprisings in the Middle East and the rest of the world which featured massive use of new technologies, dot com corporations of course ride on this myth in order to cash in. But as Vaidhyanathan points out: The introduction of a powerful and efficient mode of communication such as the fax machine or the Internet can amplify or accelerate a movement, provided that the movement already has form, support, substance, and momentum. Technologies are far from neutral, but neither do they inherently support either freedom or oppression. The same technologies, as we have already seen, can be used both to monitor and oppress a group of people and to connect them in powerful ways. As Mao reminds us, while external causes (new communication techniques) are condition of change, it is the internal causes (contradictions between social forces) that are ultimately the basis of change, with the external causes becoming operative through the internal causes. Another of the most enduring myths about the present conditions of the world is the so-called “post-industrial” turn and the emergence of “immaterial labor” as supposedly embodied by the meteoric rise of the “virtual economy” amidst the slump in the real productive economy. Google has always promoted itself as an example of how any small but innovative company with little capital can make it big by doing business on the Internet. This claim, Vaidhyanathan refutes, is easily belied by the reality that Internet companies are not all “weightless and virtual.” It might be valid if Google were merely a collection of smart people and elegant computer code. Instead, Google is also a monumental collection of physical sites such as research labs, server farms, data networks, and sales offices. Replicating the vastness of Google’s processing power and server space is unimaginable for any technology company except Microsoft. This concentration of real material capital in Google, Vaidhyanathan continues, is the secret behind its services’ maximizing of the “network effect”: “The more users it attracts, the more value each user derives from using it, and thus the more users it continues to attract.” Knowledge, as accumulated in the Internet and in books (as uploaded online through Google Books), has become hostage to Google’s interests: “the company’s role as mediator, filter, and editor of culture and information grows even stronger.” There was a time when the ultimate proof of existence is our seeing something with our own two eyes. Now “It seems that if a town—or anyone or anything—can’t be found with Google, it might as well not exist.”

Barbie Kağıt Bebek Seti Muhteşem Gala-Kolektif TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Doğan Egmont Yayıncılık

This story is told from the point of view of Skye. Her father never expressed love for her or his other children. Crime, drugs, and women were all he cared about. This set the wheels in motion for a life of feeling unloved. She finally met Trevor though, They had great sex, but he failed express in words that he loved her. She wasn't sure if she was just his fling or what she was. She had a man from her past named Nate, and he kept creaping into her mind too. Could she forget him? Does Trevor love her or will he drop her like yesterday's news? Pete and Tiffany are also in the book. I can tell that Hope Lynette has a sense of humor from this quote: His tongue turned out to be a thick limp piece of flesh. It tastes like mold. As I looked into his face I pulled back from his kiss. I noticed he had white polka dots on his tongue. Oh, hell no. That was too much for me. (page 10) There was also Bethany. She is married to Bruce, but she has a past with Donald. Does she want to stay with Bruce or rekindle an old flame? I can't forget about Dr. Bradford and Alice! I will let you read the book to see who they are and what happens with them! You will have to read the book to find out how their lives all turn out. I'm going to tell you right now though that you will be glad that you read it! Don't worry, there are plenty of steamy sex scenes to keep your temperature hot! Tha Bottom Line by Hope Lynette was like reading a soap opera. There are a lot of characters and they all had different issues going on. It kept the book very interesting. When I got to the end, I was thinking, "that's it"? I wanted to know what happened next! What happens with Trevor? I was so excited to hear that there is a part two coming out! You have me on pins and needles Hope Lynette wondering what happens! I highly recommend this book.

Türk Tezyini Sanatlarında Motifler - İnci A. Birol TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Kubbealtı Neşriyatı Yayıncılık

This book stirred within me a desire to start hacking into computers, something I've never come close to feeling before. Listening to Kevin's narrative woke me up to the fantastic game surrounding us to penetrate computer defenses merely for entertainment. Unfortunately, it is quite illegal, so it's a good thing I don't have the time to explore that potential passion. I thought this book would be a five-starrer after reading the first chapter (actually, listening to the excellent audiobook) but I found it too repetitive to really garner that kind of rating. Still, it kept me thoroughly engaged until the end. As to the content itself--fascinating, for many reasons. One of which that Kevin, despite his intelligence and talents, seems remarkably deluded about the ethics of the behavior he engaged in. He would regularly take others to task for minor legal infractions whilst dismissing his own fairly major ones as harmless because of his good intentions, seemingly oblivious to the incredulity of breaking into a computer and seizing incredibly valuable assets just for fun. Another reason I found it engaging was the at times very detailed descriptions of his exploits. Actual lines of code aren't present, but that's probably for the best. It's fun to realize how simple and open so much of the technology black boxes that power our world really are. And a bit scary.

Anneme bu kitabı okuduğumu söylediğimde, "Oh, Jane Goodall'ın tuhaf biri olduğunu" söyledi. Ve sanırım çoğu insanın inanılmaz bir ruhsal insanla karşılaştığı tepkisi bu. Bu kitabı inanılmaz bir güç kaynağı olarak buldum - alanına resmi bir eğitim olmadan, sadece öğrenme tutkusu olmadan girdi. Bunu inanılmaz buluyorum.
