Dude, Can You Count? Stories, Challenges and Adventures in Mathematics - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Imagine algebra class meets The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy… Meet JJ, an unusual character with a unique vantage position from which he can measure and monitor humanity’s progress. Armed with a device that compels all around it to tell the truth, JJ offers a satirical evaluation of our attitudes to numeracy and logic, touching upon several aspects of life on Earth along the way, from the criminal justice system and people’s use of language to highway driving and modern art. A collection of mathematically-flavored stories and jokes, interlaced with puzzles, paradoxes and problems, fuse together in an entertaining, free-flowing narrative that will engage and amuse anyone with an interest in the issues confronting society today. JJ demonstrates how a lack of elementary mathematical knowledge can taint our work and general thinking and reflects upon the importance of what is arguably our most valuable weapon against ignorance: a sound mathematical education.

The Think Big Manifesto: Think You Can't Change Your Life (and the World)? Think Again - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: One evening, years ago, I was brainstorming with someother business consultants. We were all throwing out ideasabout how we wanted to brand ourselves. When I was puton the spot, I said the first thing that came to my mind,“I’m the guy to call when you’re tired of thinking small.”The entire room became silent, until one of the womensaid, “Yes, that is so you!” Still, I immediately second-guessed myself, worrying that the tagline sounded toocheesy, stupid, arrogant, or worse, wasn’t true.Yet the more I floated the phrase to others, the morepositive the response was. “You make us feel capable ofdoing bigger things,” people said. “That’s why we hang10 | The Think Big Manifestoaround you.” I had never fully realized the impact I washaving on other people. It created a cycle of accountabil-ity. If they were relying on me to inspire them to thinkbigger, then I needed to keep on thinking bigger. Untilthen, I had always tried to think big in my life—not thatit wasn’t a challenge, not that sometimes I didn’t thinksmall. But if other people were looking to me for theirmotivation to think big, it made it all the more importantthat I keep working hard at thinking big in my own life.Because my big thinking wasn’t just about me, nor shouldit be. Thinking big is about me, you, and so many otherpeople—reaching out, inspiring and being inspired, andworking together to meet the challenges of our times, tomake change, and to create new opportunities.An important point — so I ’ll repeat it right away — is thatI do not think big every day. I can’t. It’s unlikely anyonecould live by this manifesto every moment. But I try.This is not just our manifesto, the manifesto of everyonewho is and wants to think big, it’s my personal mani-festo, too. I want to live by this every day. And althoughit’s unlikely I can live up to quite that standard everyminute, publishing this manifesto and leading the ThinkBig Revolution are ways to hold myself to the standardof thinking big. Just as important, or even more so, to

Libraries, the First Amendment, and Cyberspace: What You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Too often misinformation about free speech is circulated as if it wereauthoritative. The final straw for me and the inspiration for thisbook was a panel discussion at a state library association convention.There, as a member of the audience, I was treated to a confidently ren-dered but distorted description of First Amendment law as it applies topublic libraries. As a legal matter, the speaker said, obscenity is some-thing you know when you see it. This was decidedly wrong as a state-ment of the law, and I was unable to await my own scheduled talk laterthat day. I stood up during the question period and explained what theU.S. Supreme Court had actually said about obscenity and how theConstitution requires substantial procedural safeguards to be followedbefore a librarian may adjudge material obscene and take the matter tocourt. In defense, the panelist, a nonlawyer, justified her statements asbased on what her city attorney had told her.Of course, few city attorneys have much experience with FirstAmendment law. Their loyalties may not run to civil liberties as much asto whatever powers hold sway locally. In such instances, libraries arestuck with advice that has a more political than legal basis. For toomany who provide that advice, the need to avoid controversy over-whelms fidelity to the law. Such political considerations, however,should not be part of the constitutional calculus—for the reasons toknuckle under to would-be censors are infinite and can only expandwith each new concession. The result of such a standard operating pro-cedure would then be an abandonment of the library’s very purpose andmission: to assist in the diffusion of knowledge.vI N T R O D U C T I O NNeither ignorance of the law nor frustration over its complexity oughtto deter compliance with the principles it sets out. Even though the law isfilled with subtle touchstones, guidelines, and three-part tests that courtshave difficulty applying, there are some basic and unimpeachable tenetsthat all can understand and act upon. Librarians and library policymak-ers, dedicated as they are to providing access to information, need an ac-curate basis upon which to base intelligent and legally appropriatepolicies about Internet access, as well as the other issues that librariesoften face. This book aims to provide that foundation.The development of constitutionally informed policies can ease someof the conflict that is bound to arise. To be sure, it will not end that con-flict because speech, the written word, and pictures have an unquench-able capacity to generate controversy. It is almost a guarantee thatwhatever policies are eventually adopted will still be matters of greatcontention, activating factions who object to the materials thus madeavailable or unavailable to the community. It is indisputable that li-braries have become the front lines in modern free-speech wars. Still, awell-conceived policy can absorb some of the pain that accompaniesthat unfortunate reality and make all the difference in the litigation thatmay well follow.The role of libraries at the center in the battle over the nation’s intel-lectual freedoms is a familiar and long-running one. Almost from themoment of inception for public libraries, vociferous debates have en-sued about material that someone or another has deemed inappropriatefor shelving. One of the most enduring controversies over a book in theUnited States has been over Mark Twain’s Adventures of HuckleberryFinn. As far back as 1885, the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Librarybanished the now-classic book as “the veriest trash” and “more suitedto the slums than to intelligent, respectable people.” 1 The book remainsenormously controversial to this day.As recently as October 19, 1998, the U.S. Court of Appeals for theNinth Circuit was forced to rule on yet another attempt to remove thatbook—this time from a mandatory high-school freshman reading list inTempe, Arizona. The court concluded that assignment of the book didnot violate the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws, norcould it be removed because it allegedly contributed to a racially hostilelearning environment.2 Huckleberry Finn has endured more than a cen-tury of controversy with no sign that the hackles it raises will abate.Cyberspace now poses additional challenges for libraries.

Generation Y is creating startups at an unprecedented rate, and their approach to business is unlike anything you’ve seen. The generation described by the media as spoiled, entitled, even narcissistic, is proving these notions false every day. Inspired by the rock-star entrepreneurs of previous generations and driven by a burning desire to control their own destinies, GenY is rewriting the entrepreneurial playbook one cool startup at a time. Inc. magazine writer Donna Fenn interviewed more than 150 young CEOs to learn what makes them tick.

Share This!: How You Will Change the World with Social Networking - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The development of the social web--the set of digital tools that allow people to connect with one another and share their stories—offers extraordinary potential to change what voices get heard in the global conversation. This is unlike anything the world has seen in a thousand years. Change agents working to make the world a better place need not just to be on board with social media--we also need to drive and shape the conversation. Because whoever’s story gets heard is in the driver’s seat. Share This! explains the importance of social media as a part of an overall ecosystem of tools for change, and examines how broader participation by marginalized voices can foster opportunity on both the individual and collective levels. Tech-savant Zandt devotes special attention to the challenges that women face, including concerns about privacy, security and reputation, and includes interviews with Shireen Mitchell, Danah Boyd, Cheryl Contee, Beka Economopoulos, and other social media experts who work within specific communities addressing race, class, and gender disparities. In a voice both authoritative and irreverent Zandt provides an accessible guide to what the social networking tools are, how woman and minorities can use them strategically, where on the web readers can directly experience their power, and why these technologies are so critical to transforming our daily lives.
