Who Invented the Computer? The Legal Battle That Changed Computing History

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Typically, in the case of a revolutionary invention that comes to pervade society, most of us have a knee-jerk reaction to the question `Who invented it?` Thus for the light bulb, the automobile, the airplane, and the telephone, we Americans could tend to reply, rightly or wrongly: `Thomas Edison,` `Henry Ford,` `Wilbur and Orville Wright,` and `Alexander Graham Bell.` This book is about the hidden social pressures to create such `mythic hero` figures for the computer. The cast of characters in this story is filled with vivid and very real personalities. Some are oddballs, and some are squares, some are honest, some are dishonest, and some are opportunists floating halfway in between. It is a genuine drama, written with flair and a supreme attempt at abjectivity. [detailed...]

Who Killed English Football? Second Edition: An Analysis of the State of English Football

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the second edition of `Who Killed English Football? : An Analysis of the State of English Football`. The original book was prompted by the inexorable decline of English Football performance at European and World Cup events. At the time of publishing this second edition, the worrying trends are confirmed : the rivalry between club, league and national teams, the surfeit of money, `embedded` media, the foreign player invasion continue to be significant contributors to the slow death of the `beautiful game`. The governing bodies of football are timidly attempting to curb certain of these bad habits by proposing quotas for home-grown players in club squads and targets for the England team. However, this is the equivalent of administering homeopathic remedies for a terminal illness. [detailed...]

Wilkie Collins
Who Killed Zebedee?

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionUndisputed master of “sensation fiction” and forefather of the modern crime story, Wilkie Collins was also a supreme chronicler of the dark underside of Victorian London. Chilling in the extreme, these three short stories of murder and suspense are outstanding examples of his craft. Setting himself in front of the station fire, a young policeman is little prepared for the account of bloody murder that will be relayed that night. It seems that Mrs. Crosscapel’s lodging house is a place of dark secrets and buried passions—emotions that will soon cloud even his own judgment. As with the other short stories included here, Who Killed Zebedee? is a brilliant and highly original tale of horror and the macabre.Foreword by Martin Jarvis. [detailed...]

Who Let the Cat Out?: Mutts X (Mutts Comics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Animal lovers everywhere adore Patrick McDonnell`s charming but pointed Mutts. The strip strikes a delicate balance between lighthearted fun and social commentary-on the human condition as well as the animal world. The deceptively simple comic follows the adventures of Earl the dog and Mooch the cat, an unlikely best-friend team, and Shtinky Puddin`, Sourpuss, Guard Dog, and Crabby. Patrick`s distinctive cartooning style effectively relays the all-too-real concerns of his characters with entertaining, clever, laugh-out-loud banter. Infodad.com describes Mutts as `humane and funny and gentle and caring and heartfelt and-did we mention funny?` The site goes on to say that the strip `includes enough hijinks and outstanding art (yes, art!) to please anyone with a taste for animals and amusement.` Mutts has been syndicated by King Features since 1994 and enjoys a circulation of more than 500 daily newspapers. Muttscomics.com, the strip`s official Web site, has experienced… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionTHE SOLDIER. THE LEGEND. THE HUNTED. When he woke up this morning he was just `a` suspect. Suddenly, Terran Defense Directorate operative Daniel Briggs is the `only` suspect. Wanted for questioning in the murder of his ex-wife Anjelica, Daniel plunges headfirst into a quest meant to prove his innocence. What he finds instead are lies stacked upon half-truths and deceit. In the decadent backstreets of Boomtown he begins an epic journey that will lead him into the very bowels of treachery. Armed only with his handicapped paranatural powers and a mind steeled by years of extraterrestrial combat, he combs the shadows of the city?s underbelly in search of the truth, trying desperately to stay one step ahead of those who would stophim from discovering it. With the odds stacked against him, it seems a quest meant to fail from the start. But those who Daniel best, know to fear him, for it is when he?s cornered that he is the most resilient. Will his… [detailed...]

Who Owes Who? 50 Questions about World Debt

2004 y.
Publisher: Zed Books
Description: The huge foreign debt of developing countries has become a mechanism of domination and means of recolonization that prevents any meaningful and sustainable human development. The policies pursued by the indebted countries` governments have usually been decided by their creditors rather than by the authorities of the countries concerned. As for the initiative to lighten the debt burden, launched with much fanfare by the G7, the IMF and the World Bank under pressure from the largest ever petition in human history, it has made clear its limits. In 50 questions and answers, this book explains in a simple but precise manner how and why the debt impasse has been arrived at. Illustrated with figures, maps and tables, it details the roles of the various actors involved, the mesh in which indebted countries are caught, and the various alternatives to future indebtedness.

Who Owns Culture?: Appropriation And Authenticity In American Law (Rutgers Series on the Public Life of the Arts)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Americans are cultural copycats. White suburban youths perform rap music, New York fashion designers ransack the world`s closets for inspiration, and Euro-American authors adopt the voice of a geisha or shaman. The ownership of these art forms, however, remains contested. Do they belong to the community that originally generated them, or to the culture that has absorbed them? While claims of authenticity or quality may prompt some consumers to seek cultural products at their source, the communities of origin are generally unable to exclude copyists through legal action. Like other works of unincorporated group authorship, cultural products lack protection under our system of intellectual property law. But is this legal vacuum an injustice, the lifeblood of American culture, a historical oversight, a result of administrative incapacity, or all of the above? Who Owns Culture? offers the first comprehensive analysis of cultural authorship and appropriation within American law. From… [detailed...]

Who Owns the Crown Lands of Hawai`i?

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
Description: The 1846 Mahele (division) transformed the lands of Hawai`i from a shared value into private property, but left many issues unresolved. Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III) agreed to the Mahele, which divided all land among the mo`i (king), the ali`i (chiefs), and the maka`ainana (commoners), in the hopes of keeping the lands in Hawaiian hands even if a foreign power claimed sovereignty over the Islands. The king`s share was further divided into Government and Crown Lands, the latter managed personally by the ruler until a court decision in 1864 and a statute passed in 1865 declared that they could no longer be bought or sold by the mo`i and should be maintained intact for future monarchs. After the illegal overthrow of the monarchy in 1893, Government and Crown Lands were joined together, and after annexation in 1898 they were managed as a public trust by the United States. At statehood in 1959, all but 373,720 acres of Government and Crown Lands were transferred to the State of Hawai`i. The… [detailed...]
