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

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 early years... 1998-2009A Tip of the Hat collection - 2 volume series - excerpts from 22-years of writing, thoughts and musings from Canada's Idea Man, Bob Hooey For 22 plus years I have wracked my brain to find something informative, provocative, or at least entertaining to share with my readers, clients, and subscribers. We even did an Ideas At Work! newsletter every month for 10 solid years. In creating this book (two volumes) I decided to go though all those posts and articles and share a few that I felt might be of value to you. Enjoy! The Global Speakers Summit foundation event was held in 2013 in Vancouver, BC. It was called, The Music, The Magic, and The Message. Our purpose was to continue supporting our CAPS Foundation as well as help start foundations in some of our other Global Speakers Federation member organizations. We were successful on both objectives. This was my final event as a member of our CAPS Foundation Board where I had served for the previous 5-years. I worked with my fellow board members to take us from an idea to a functioning foundation able to assist our speakers, should they need help. When this project started, I didn't realize how much I had written over the years and ended up splitting the volume into two volumes. 1) The early years (1998-2009) and 2) The saga continues (2010-2019) and, who knows, perhaps there will be further volumes and maybe one final one called The last years. ¿¿¿¿ I trust you will be able to find something in this smorgasbord of ponderings. I've collected them by year and picked some of the better ones. Some ideas, some good news, some travel adventures... all in one place. A Tip of the Hat - enjoy!

"Book Publishing and the Internet?" is the English version of the second edition of a cult classic for editors and publishers, writers, literary agents, booksellers, scholars and students of digital humanities and history of the book and everybody interested in the fascinating recent history of publishing and digital media. With the first edition of this "impossible handbook" in 2001 Brunella Longo explained risks and opportunities of ecommerce, ebooks and print on demand. This new edition includes an introduction and five new chapters rich of insight and comparisons, plus historical data for surprising discoveries of data, forecasts and case histories spanning over two decades.==================EXTRACTS FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Book Publishing and the Internet is the English edition of La nuova editoria vent'anni dopo (2022). It offers a reflective tool for decision making and for the strategic review of the organisational changes, the investments and the policies needed to remain relevant in the digital age and reinvent products and processes. The book aims at reaching also a wider audience of people interested in the history of the digital, offering a source of documentation and research. Chapters two, three and four cover e-commerce and other industrial aspects, ebooks and the challenges of reading on screens in the digital social environments and the art of printing in the so called postprint age, respectively. The focus is on the huge transformations the book publishing sector has been going through over the last two or three decades due to the development of the Internet economy and its digital infrastructure: technical frameworks and standards but also legislation, governance and policies and of course professional skills and social behaviours that have been having terrific consequences on production and consumptions of all forms and genres of books. This work would not exist if in 2000 I had not written La nuova editoria, published in 2001 [...] that went out of print after few years. Chapter one, "A book returning to life", recounts my personal journey following the publication of La nuova editoria, explains the creative context of the first generation of Internet endeavours and the complexity of stakeholders management after 2001.[...]Finally, one year has passed since the publication of the Italian edition on this book. Between then and now the hype about generative artificial intelligence has possibly reached its peak with marketing rumours and important initiatives about the impact AI will have for authors, media and publishers of any size. I am quite relieved to conclude that nothing I wrote for the Italian edition required adjustments or revisions for the English one, against the backdrop of such great excitement, news and concerns: on the contrary, the public debates about the matter will possibly help the reader to engage deeper with my text that some insiders have had access to and have anticipated for public consultations, seminars and debates in recent months. However, something has indeed increased considerably over the last year and it is the public attention to problems of information security, accessibility and preservation of ebooks and digital contents. It will become clear from the first and the last chapters of Book Publishing and the Internet that the very purpose of making a contribution to digital preservation and history of the digital motivated me to write and publish this book.

Læselyst og skrivekløe søger med i alt 24 bidrag at tage temperaturen på litteraturfaget i dag. Her byder en række forskere – de fleste med mange års erfaring bag sig – ind med skarpe punktanalyser og debatoplæg eller små udviklingshistorier inden for forskellige litteraturfelter: forfatterskaber, genrer, kritik og kritikhistorie. Ikke mindst litteraturkritikken og dens udfordrede position må påkalde sig aktuel interesse.Læselyst er en god ting, når man har med litteratur at gøre. Skrivekløe kan tilsvarende være det, især for de professionelle; ikke alle har det i samme grad, og nogle for meget, men i fagkyndig og tøjlet form er det som oftest gavnligt for andres læse- og litteraturlyst.Universitetsdocent og litteraturkritiker John Chr. Jørgensen er en af de danske fagpersoner, der i særlig grad har udlevet disse lyster med sin kyndige og tøjlede kløe og dermed inspireret andre til at gøre det samme. Denne brede og facetterede indsats gennem mere end 50 år, som har sat sine klare spor inden for litteraturhistorie og kulturjournalistik, fortjener en markering og anerkendelse. Bogen er derfor tilegnet hans samlede faglige virke.

We are urged to create content that is flawless in outward appearance."No typos!" "No grammar errors!" "No meandering". "Great cover design". "One billion pixels". Technical perfection, in other words.But when is 80% = done?When is a Bird in the Hand worth ten or more in the Bush, too?What about the content? And what if one doesn't have the money to or time to polish, polish, polish?And when is the seeking of lots of book reviews akin to putting perfume on something that needs no camo? Are some people putting lipstick on what amounts to Word Salads? Besides, what if one is prolific, too? Or is spending their Sheckles and time much more on loved ones?Again, is there always a hard and fast rule on editing our work, including typos and grammar?And what of getting book reviews - how many are necessary? Indeed, are there adequate or even profoundly greater credentials for a book than the number of book reviews, or even testimonials?Does a great-looking person who walks into a bar, need to hold a sign showing the number of book reviews they have - or the equivalent, say, in terms of how many dates they have had, or too, how much money they make? Or their job title? Or is their body language and overall demeanor their form of book reviews? Indeed, can even the number of books published, or the courage needed to address the issues, be more important by far, than the number of reviews, or any lack of polish?The author talks of these things, and there is a scannable QR code which will pull up a twenty-five-minute audiovisual on how his life turned out as it did, and how this made for very interesting views on publishing.

In " The Lost Boys of Sudan," a former "Lost Boy" takes on the poignant task of narrating the untold stories of Southern Sudan. This narrative emerges from the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s, a time marked by political upheaval and cultural transformations, leading to the displacement of countless children. The author, having lived through these experiences, offers an authentic voice that challenges the often foreign interpretations of these events. This book serves as an invitation for the "Lost Boys" and now "Lost Girls" to share their own distinct tales in their native tongues, thereby weaving a tapestry of personal stories that collectively embody the resilience, suffering, and triumphs of the Southern Sudanese people. These accounts are not just personal histories; they are testimonies to the indomitable spirit and destiny that define their community. While rooted in real journeys and events, the book does not claim to be a historical record. It maintains fidelity to the essence of actual incidents,yet acknowledges possible inaccuracies in timelines, names, and locations. Dialogues and conversations are often reimagined to mirror the original scenarios, emphasizing the narrative's emotional truth over factual precision. This work is a profound reflection on memory, identity, and the power of storytelling.
