 Mildred E. Warner, "Bridging the Digital Divide in the US " English | ISBN: 1032914602 | 2025 | 218 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The US faces a deep digital divide which cuts across both urban and rural lines, but is most marked in rural, low income, and minority communities. This book presents a multi-level governance framework which explores how local leaders use policy opportunity and community resilience to address inequity in broadband infrastructure. Cases from communities across the US are profiled to show how local and regional initiatives address the digital divide - how they harness local resources, state and federal funding, and how they navigate regulatory restrictions and financial constraints. Special attention is given to rural and Indigenous communities, where the technological, organizational, and funding challenges are greatest. The federal policy landscape for broadband is changing, and this book provides clear insights on how policy can support the people and places left behind. This book is essential for planners and those studying or working in rural development, rural studies, and community development.

David Ceccarelli, "Branching Darwinisms: The Rise and Fall of the Eclipse Metaphor in the Historiography of Evolutionary Biology " English | ISBN: 3032130433 | 2026 | 217 pages | PDF | 5 MB This book offers a meta-historical analysis of the "eclipse of Darwinism" narrative in evolutionary biology. It examines major historiographical labels - such as "Darwinism," "anti-Darwinian," "eclipse of Darwinism," and "modern synthesis" - highlighting their varying uses in past and current historiography. This analysis not only invites a rethinking of how evolutionary biology's development is periodized but also clarifies how historical narratives shape modern scientific practice by revealing the link between scientific practice and historical interpretation. Using a historical and epistemological perspective, the volume explores both the history of the "eclipse" period and how evolutionary biologists and historians have written that history. Its methodology integrates the study of historiographical traditions with analyses of scientific writings, popular accounts, and personal correspondence among scholars. The book concludes that the "eclipse" metaphor has lost heuristic value and that dividing biology into pre- and post-synthetic phases is misleading. Darwinism neither entered the 1880s-1920s as a unified program nor simply fragmented into isolated strands. Instead, evolutionary studies comprised diverse traditions that branched out and progressively specialized.  Braille Eastward: The Making of Blind Education and Tactile Literacy in East Asia (Palgrave Studies in Disability in Asia and the Pacific) by Tasing Chiu English | February 7, 2026 | ISBN: 3032143845 | 306 pages | True ePUB, PDF | 19 Mb This book traces the transnational history of blind education and tactile literacy in East Asia from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, revealing how Braille traveled, transformed, and took root across linguistic and cultural frontiers. Through detailed case studies from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, it explores how teachers, missionaries, and blind readers adapted Western models of instruction into local traditions of learning and touch. The chapters follow the movement of tactile reading systems from colonial encounters to national reforms, showing how technology, disability, and literacy were reshaped in the process and reimagined within local political, religious, and linguistic frameworks.  Paolo Cuttitta, "Border Deaths: Causes, Dynamics and Consequences of Migration-related Mortality" English | ISBN: 9463722327 | 2019 | 174 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Border deaths are a result of dynamics involving diverse actors, and can be interpreted and represented in various ways. Critical voices from civil society (including academia) hold states responsible for making safe journeys impossible for large parts of the world population. Meanwhile, policy-makers argue that border deaths demonstrate the need for restrictive border policies. Statistics are widely (mis)used to support different readings of border deaths. However, the way data is collected, analysed, and disseminated remains largely unquestioned. Similarly, little is known about how bodies are treated, and about the different ways in which the dead - also including the missing and the unidentified - are mourned by familiars and strangers. New concepts and perspectives contribute to highlighting the political nature of border deaths and finding ways to move forward. The chapters of this collection, co-authored by researchers and practitioners, provide the first interdisciplinary overview of this contested field.  Bonfire of the Murdochs, UK Edition by Gabriel Sherman English | February 3rd, 2026 | ISBN: 1398562041 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 2.16 MB When Rupert Murdoch made a fateful decision about who should inherit his media colossus, he believed that pitting his children against each other would produce the most capable heir. Twenty-five years later, that gamble would tear apart one of the world's most powerful families and trigger a multi-billion dollar reckoning in a succession battle featuring betrayals, lawsuits, and revenge Descriptions.
