Technology and Society: A Canadian Perspective, Second

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goyder, John, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, Since the publication of the first edition of "Technology and Society: A Canadian Perspective "in , awareness of the pervasive effects of new and emerging technologies on our lives is, if anything, even more pronounced. New and emerging technologies in everything from health care to communication and the Internet hold enormous promise. However, the more ominous consequences of technology are also very much with us?from environmental degradation to uncertainty in the workplace in a post "dot.com" economy to terrorism and warfare. "Technology and Society, "second edition, continues the rich tradition of Canadian writing on technology found in the work of Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, George Grant, Ursula Franklin, and others. Like the first edition, the book begins and ends with an attempt to understand Grant's insistence that technology is a "fate," connected, in the anthropological sense, with the evolution of societies. In between, the book examines the social and historical foundation for the development and diffusion of technology in the Canadian context. The first three chapters define the phenomenon of technology by classifying the vast array of tools and techniques. They offer a conceptual scheme for understanding the interrelationship between society and technology and for the diffusion of technologies. Subsequent chapters shift to looking at the consequences of technology. The linkage between technology and economic development is explored, as is the significance of a technocratic value system. The relationship between work and technology?the significance of "automation," of a "branch plant" economy, "R&D," and communication?is examined. The final chapters consider new leading technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology, as well as public attitudes towards technology.

Society in Space: Colonialism, Nationalism and Post-Colonial

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perera, Nihal, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, "Society and Space" traces the historical construction of social space in Sri Lanka. Utilizing a world-systems perspective, landscape interpretation, and theories of colonial architecture and urbanism, Nihal Perera looks at colonized, decolonized, and postcolonial Sri Lanka through the lens of successive spatial transformations. The author skillfully reveals the importance of construction, occupation, and the fashioning of territories, urban landscapes, and built forms, pointing out the interconnections and meanings of these spatial aspects as part of changing political, economic, and cultural systems.This book treats space and the built environment of Sri Lanka's place in the world system at different points in history.

Writing from a position in the "postcolonial periphery," Perera argues that the politics governing the construction of space and spatial structures is of primary importance for those seeking to understand a particular society and culture.

Right to Arm Bears

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickson, Gordon R., PUBLISHER: Baen Books, HUMANS OR HEMNOIDS: AN UNBEARABLE CHOICE Planet Dilbia is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him. But Dilbians "are" impressed by sharp thinking, and some have expressed a grudging admiration for the logical (and usually sneaky) mental maneuvers that the human "shorties" have used to get themselves out of desperate jams. Just maybe that old human craftiness will win over the Dilbians to the human side. If not, we lose a nexus, and the Dilbians will learn just how unbearable Hemnoids can be....
