From the moment we wake up to the moment we end our day, we use interfaces built out of the written word. Textual information remains now, as it has for centuries, the cornerstone of human information acquisition. The wide adoption of smartphone, tablets, e-readers and personal computers has shifted the bulk of this reading from inflexible paper to digital content. The control provided by digital displays over how visual information is presented to readers has the potential to improve reading for each and every reader, regardless of ability or diagnosis. This represents a profound shift in how we think about reading because text is no longer rendered immutable by writers, designers, or publishers at a single stage, and human-computer interaction research is key to realizing its potential. Readability research takes a fundamentally individual approach to what each reader needs. Each reader has their own individual needs. Meanwhile, adapting the written word to the individual reader has never been easier, and the goal of maximizing individual reading efficacy is increasingly attainable. No one discipline or field has all the tools or answers, and readability work is inherently interdisciplinary. The authors of this monograph include vision scientists, technology experts, educators, designers, typographers, and data scientists. Together they represent voices from academia, the tech industry, and non-profit institutions, driven by common goals to improve the reading interfaces of today. In this review, they provide a comprehensive introduction to interdisciplinary methodologies, tools, and materials required for readability research focused on the individual reader. They call on the HCI community to contribute to the growing understanding of readers’ needs; to study the interactions between text, user, and task; and to build the tools and interfaces needed to improve reading outcomes for all.

This story, in rhyme, is about two Africa Spur-thighed Sulcata tortoises, Shell and Lily. They were rescued as young tortoises, and came to live at the Williams house where they were loved by everyone, including the neighbors who would find them walking down the sidewalk, and even the mailmen who would rescue them as they wandered. As they continued to grow, it was obvious that they would need bigger accommodations and a warmer climate. It was a tough decision to set them free, as they were loved very much. And so their journey continues at the Makauwahi Cave Reserve on the Island of Kaua'i where they can live in a perfect climate, dine on all sorts of natural vegetation, be in contact with humans as they are so friendly and social, and help to preserve the native plants by eating the invasive weeds. Fortunately, the Williams family can volunteer at the Reserve and visit their beloved tortoises.
Was it suicide or murder? When a local big shot is found dead in a locked car with a painted shell in his pocket bearing an ominous warning, it's up to Guinivere Jones, intrepid reporter and amateur sleuth, to determine the true cause of death.Book eight in the Sanibel Island Mystery series, For Whom the Shell Tolls takes readers on the hunt for a buried treasure-and a possible murderer-and combines mystery, romance, and seashells in an irresistible read.
Mary Shelley lived and wrote during an age of religious instability, one that witnessed the spread of atheism, millenarianism, Methodism, Unitarianism, and Evangelicalism, among other belief systems. In this book, Jennifer L. Airey foregrounds Shelley as an important religious thinker of the Romantic period, analyzing her creative engagement with the religious controversies around her and uncovering a belief system that was both influenced by and profoundly different from those of her male Romantic counterparts.Previous assessments of religion in Shelley’s work have been limited in scope and, as Airey asserts, have tended to privilege the novels she wrote when she was married to the prominent atheist Percy Shelley and shortly after his death. Such readings imply that Shelley and her works are most interesting for what they can tell us about her husband and second-generation (and predominantly male) Romanticism. Airey’s analysis corrects this imbalance by giving equal weight to Shelley’s later work, which draws on Evangelical discourses elevating the mother as the theological and moral center of the household.Nuanced and accessible, Religion Around Mary Shelley makes visible the valuable insight that Shelley’s works offer into the complexity of religious views prominent in her cultural moment. It will appeal to specialists and nonacademics interested in the Godwin-Wollstonecraft-Shelley circle.
