1989. Verden er på randen af en revolution, og journalisten Allie Burns er tilbage. Ældre og måske lidt klogere, leder hun nu nyhedsafdelingen på The Sunday Globe i Glasgow. Hun er ikke længere graverjournalist, men nyhedsredaktør og stadig skrækslagen for at ende i rendestenen sammen med de brutale britiske tabloidmedier. Og hun får travlt. Året begynder med en mindegudstjeneste for ofrene fra Lockerbie-bombningen, og Allie har knap nok leveret den historie, før hun falder over en chokerende historie om aids-patienter. Den avisverden hun opererer i er under stærk forandring, og den kolde krig præger tiden. Da et mord sker, bliver Allie tvunget til at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved flere af sine gamle overbevisninger.1989 er anden bog i en planlagt serie på fem bind om Allie Burns. Vi følger hende fra 1979 og frem gennem fem årtier, på rejsen fra ung journalist til garvet ekspert, gennem mordsager og op- og nedture i karrieren, med Storbritanniens historie som medrivende bagtæppe. Allie Burns er baseret på Val McDermids egne erfaringer som ung journalist i 1970’ernes Glasgow.

A vision for South Africa's National System of Innovation (NSI) was articulated some three decades ago in the White Paper on Science and Technology (1996). The idealism that inspired a nation in rebirth also found expression in policy for the science and innovation sector. Since then, the NSI has been moulded and re-moulded in light of domestic and global experiences. This volume, Why Innovations Live or Die: South Africa's innovation system, interrogates the systems and the issues surrounding them. Contributing authors argue that the fundamental question is about the relevance of innovations to the country's citizens, and whether the system promotes economic growth, social inclusion and initiative across all sectors of the population. The authors examine lessons from some highly promising research endeavours that fell by the wayside. Importantly, the book interrogates the successes of South African innovations that have impacted positively on people's lives. Various chapters trace the journeys of undertakings such as the Joule electric car; the Square Kilometre Array, the Pebble-bed Modular Reactor and transdisciplinary efforts on HIV and Covid-19.The contributors argue that the philosophical outlook that informs innovation policy, the attitude of mind in both the public and private sectors, and the content and timeframes attached to national development planning, among other factors, are as important as technical issues related to scientific expertise, training pipelines and resource allocation. In other words, the authors make a case for a system of innovation that functions as a holistic domain, straddling a variety of disciplines and spatial issues. The book also underlines the importance of broadening the vistas of research and avoiding path dependency. The volume proffers policy recommendations aimed at stimulating reflection and practical actions on a matter that is fundamental to South Africa's socioeconomic progress.

There's nothing especially unusual in the enterprise of taking stock of one's life. As the late Barry Lopez wrote in Horizons, his exquisite 2019 memoir, "We, all of us, look back over our lives, trying to make sense of what happened, to see what enduring threads might be there." For my part, I am not sure how many coherent threads I have found, or if things make any more sense to me than they did when I began the writing.For all my 32 years as a book review editor, I grumbled about how unseemly and presumptuous it was for callow pop stars and otherentertainers to be penning "memoirs" while they were still wet behind the ears. My only excuse for writing one now is that I am, astonishingly, 75, with a tenuous grasp of detail, and just egotistical enough to think four or five people other than me might want to read a book about my life so far.Full disclosure: My life is based on a true story.- excerpted from the Preface

A developed society is realized with the help of science and technology discoveries invented by the mature representatives and scientists of that society, or at least in the current globalization process. We know that the potential of information and communication technologies opens fundamentally new forms and possibilities of interaction and information exchange, helps to build and strengthen civil society, and accelerates the processes of economic reforms and democratic development of the country.The advancement of science was seen to be the most significant undertaking ever. Scientific publications written by scientists are essential to the advancement of science. An independent scientific study that presents a viewpoint on a pressing scientific issue is called a scientific article. A scientific paper plays a crucial role for those with lofty ambitions. This book explains how to conduct in-depth research before writing an article on any subject.

The most complete collection of works by the nineteenth century's most famous and groundbreaking woman journalist.

“Engrossing and suspenseful." —The New York Times“Expertly pulls readers in.” —The Guardian   “Smith sharply chronicles the revolutionary moment.” — Financial TimesThe origin story of the post-truth age: the candid inside tale of two online media rivals, Nick Denton of Gawker Media and Jonah Peretti of HuffPost and BuzzFeed, whose delirious pursuit of attention at scale helped release the dark forces that would overtake the internet and American societyIf attention is the new oil, Traffic is the story of the time between the first gusher and the perceptible impact of climate change. The curtain opens in Soho in the early 2000s, after the first dot-com crash but before Google, Apple, and Facebook exploded, when it seemed that New York City, rather than Silicon Valley, might become tech’s center of gravity. There, Nick Denton’s merry band of nihilists at his growing Gawker empire and Jonah Peretti’s sunnier team at HuffPost and BuzzFeed were building the foundations of viral internet media. Ben Smith, who would go on to earn a controversial reputation as BuzzFeed News’s editor in chief, was there to see it, and he chronicles it all with marvelous lucidity underscored by dark wit.  Traffic explores one of the great ironies of our time: The internet, which was going to help the left remake the world in its image, has become the motive force of right populism. People like Steve Bannon and Andrew Breitbart initially seemed like minor characters in the narrative in which Nick and Jonah were the stars. But today, anyone might wonder if the op­posite wasn’t the case. To understand how we got here, Traffic is essential and enthralling reading.

Just imagine that your home is not just on land but also in the sea and in the sky. Self-driving cars, without driver are not only move on roads but also fly in the sky. Your personal, intimate space is not just on the computer screen but projected on any material or even on empty space, and it may not be so far-fetched that you can expect a healthy life for thousands of years. Does it sound like exaggeration? But when it comes directly in the near future, it shouldn't be surprising. Because all over the world, scientists are constantly achieving success in one or more experiments. The current era is different from the era of information. The production of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data occurs every day. The data being generated every day is so vast that 90% of the data in the world has been created only in the past decade. Thanks to the impact of big data, research has accelerated, helping us get closer to the goal in no time. Under the Meta Connectivity program, solar-powered internet planes, followed by instant 3D-printed medicine capsules placed on the tongue to stop bleeding within just 12 seconds during a serious accident or warfare, are now a reality. In addition, 3D-printed medicine capsules, placed on the tongue, instantly dissolve, preventing blood flow of 3,000 liters in 1 minute during flood conditions, cement that absorbs human urine to produce clean water and energy generation, and research to change the necessary genes in DNA have been successful, allowing new codes to be created in place of codes that do not exist in the genome. The development of Ebola disease prevention vaccines, disease prevention drugs, and planes that will change in the car are now the subject of everyone's discussion, with research on computer manufacturing at just ¿500.
