Organized Skepticism in the Age of Misinformation

Organized Skepticism in the Age of Misinformation

Brett Bourbon; Renita Murimi

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Drawing from philosophy, information theory, and network science, Organized Skepticism in the Age of Misinformation: Surviving the Kingdom of Gossip offers a novel conceptual framework that views information as a form of gossip.This book challenges the idea that truthfulness is a necessary, or even a relevant condition, of information. Instead, this book develops a conceptual framework in which information is understood as gossip, which fits within a more general account of information and knowledge as constrained but contingent social practices. Using this framework, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the “grammar” of gossip that permeates both online and real-orld environments and sheds light on the often overused and confused terms of our time: information, misinformation and knowledge.This book offers a fundamental reconfiguration of the evolving virtual interdependence of humans and information technology. It is a key resource for students and scholars in areas relating to social media, information diffusion, human/computer interface, and computational social science.

A Critical Introduction to the Economics of Sustainability

A Critical Introduction to the Economics of Sustainability

Brett Caraway

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
This book explores the various schools of thought which have endeavoured to understand the interactions between technological development, economic growth, and the movement of material and energy through biological and social systems. Examining both economic thought and technological development through a historical lens, Brett Caraway sheds light on the relationship between patterns of economic growth and innovation on the one hand and escalating environmental and ecological crises on the other. The book is organized in two parts. In the first part, Caraway surveys the major theoretical frameworks and analytical approaches to the study of the linkages among value, economic growth, technological innovation, and environmental/ecological crises. He highlights contributions from pre-economic schools of thought, classical political economy, neoclassical economics, environmental economics, ecological economics, and Marxian theory. In the second half of the book, Caraway provides an overview of the history of the relationship between energy and wealth, paying particular attention to the Industrial Revolution and the concomitant development of an information economy. Using a series of case studies, he shows how the development of a global hydrocarbon economy and communications infrastructure dramatically increased matter/energy flows and destabilizing global ecosystems. Caraway concludes the book by presenting a robust set of criteria for assessing the ecological impact of business practices and industries, especially with regard to green technology. Diverse in scope, this will book will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecological and environmental economics, sustainability, environmental communication and eco-media studies.

Lord Burghley and Episcopacy, 1577-1603

Lord Burghley and Episcopacy, 1577-1603

Brett Usher

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Lord Burghley and Episcopacy, 1577-1603 examines the selection and promotion of bishops within the shifting sands of ecclesiastical politics at the Elizabethan court, drawing on the copious correspondence of leading politicians and clerical candidates as well as the Exchequer records of the financial arrangements accompanying each appointment. Beginning in 1577, the book picks up the narrative where Brett Usher's previous book (William Cecil and Episcopacy, 1559-1577) left off, following the fall of Archbishop Grindal, which brought the Elizabethan church to the brink of disaster. The book begins with an outline of the period under review, challenging the traditional view of corruption and decline. Instead Usher provides a more complex picture, emphasizing the importance of court rivalries over patronage and place, and a broadly more benign attitude from the Exchequer, which distinguishes the period from the first half of the reign. Within this milieu the book situates the dominance of the Cecils - father and son - in ecclesiastical affairs as the key continuity between the two halves of Elizabeth's reign. Providing a fresh analysis of the Burghley's long and influential role within Elizabethan government, Usher both illuminates court politics and the workings of the Exchequer, as well as the practical operation of Elizabeth's supremacy. Specifically he demonstrates how Elizabeth learnt a valuable lesson from the debacle over the fall of Grindal, and from the late 1570s, rather than taking the lead, customarily she looked to her councillors and courtiers to come to some accommodation with each other before she would authorize appointments and promotions. Note: Brett Usher died in 2013 before the publication of this book. Final editing of the typescript was undertaken by Professor Kenneth Fincham of the University of Kent, who also guided the book through the publication process.

California Politics Is Local

California Politics Is Local

Brett L. Savage; Jacob Sutherland

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
In California Politics Is Local, Brett L. Savage and Jacob Sutherland argue that California politics should be viewed through a local lens due to the unique nature of the principal–agent relationship present in local governments around the state. Local governments make up the most common form of government in the United States and are responsible for a wide variety of public goods, services, and policies that affect their community members’ lives daily. This is especially true in California, which is home to 58 counties, 482 cities, 1,037 school districts, and nearly 2,000 independent special districts. However, many questions remain regarding California local politics, especially when it comes to the principal–agent relationship between local representatives and community members.By leveraging a variety of recent case studies about the contestation of civil rights and public goods and utilizing several novel datasets, Savage and Sutherland present a comprehensive understanding of California local politics as it stands in the twenty-first century. Specifically, they provide one of the first studies dedicated to examining the opinions and perceptions held by special district representatives about the nature of their roles as community representatives, and they expand upon theories of participation at the local level pertaining to issue and office salience for different demographic and political groups.California Politics Is Local brings a fresh perspective to students and scholars of urban affairs, political institutions, civic engagement, and public policy in the Golden State.

The Last Will and Testament of Estar

The Last Will and Testament of Estar

Brett J Lindsay

Gravity Dragon Creative
2024
pokkari
Estar works the crystal mines, risking life and limb to carve a path of his own before his mandatory enlistment in the military. Early curfews, faulty body modifications, and shortcuts through the abandoned tunnels beneath the city are just part of life. Helping strangers is not a part of the routine. It's best to mind one's own business around these parts.But that's how Estar met Vinta. That's how Estar's family broke apart. Accidents happen. With the Cause and New Mortai hunting him after a violent outburst, Estar's hunkered down in the belly of an unpowered Seybr Tower. He carries the stolen brain of an automaton, a pseudonym he never asked for, and the worry that he'll never be able to see his family again. But there is some semblance of hope. Estar believes the answers to his problems are sealed away in the Saint's lower levels. After nearly seven years without intentional human interaction, Estar is days away from finding his way beyond the bloodstained barrier of his past, and through the inner doors of the weathered colonial vessel. This is the picture painted by the Holo-Journal he left behind. 'The Last Will and Testament of the Gun Hand' lets the viewer see the point-of-view of a young human struggling with guilt, failure, and sacrifice, with added commentary by the author himself. Lucinda, exiled and recovering from a near-death experience, settles into her underground haven to watch Estar's story unfold. She's determined to use the Holo-Journal as a distraction from her own mistakes while she prepares for a short night's rest under the Moonslight of FaR Colony Settis.

Mornings When I Wake

Mornings When I Wake

Brett Alan Dewing

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Mornings When I Wake takes the idea of responding to a book (in this case, Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm) and the "selfing" that arises from the interplay of spirit and text and takes the reader through it experientially, starting in the abstract and slowly moving to the rational. Made up of chapters named for the characters of Holy the Firm, Mornings When I Wake is also an ode to Dillard's masterpiece and her overall oeuvre, borrowing themes and styles from many of her books. Put succinctly, it answers the questions of what happens when a piece of art lodges in your breastbone.
