Pierre Bourdieu and Social Media: Habitus, Influencers, Algorithms, and Digital Identity in the Attention Economy explains why online life feels spontaneous while following recognizable social patterns. On Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and similar platforms, users learn what to post, how to present themselves, what counts as good taste, and which styles attract attention. These habits do not arise from individual choice alone. They are shaped by class background, peer groups, platform norms, and systems that reward some forms of visibility over others. Using Bourdieu’s key ideas, this book ...

Inside this book, readers will learn how to: Recognize what a **genetic part** actually is by working through a concrete example most laboratories use every day Follow the industrial arc from **insulin fermentation** to **...

The machine can act. That is settled now. The question is who answers. Artificial intelligence no longer waits to be executed. It plans, decides, moves money, changes records, and acts at machine speed inside institutions that authorized it in general and cannot supervise it in particular. When something goes wrong, the search for who must answer turns up a chain of people pointing at a system, and a system that cannot bear anything at all. In Answerability, David S. Morgan argues that this gap is older than the machines. Organizations learned to separate deciding from bearing long before ...

This book gives readers a clear account of that transfer, showing what software borrowed ...

Nine days. One pipeline. A true story about building a machine honest enough to catch its own lies. From Friday, July 3 through Saturday, July 11, 2026, an AI and the engineer it works for hardened a system that writes novels until the system could audit itself, and then used it to write this book. The narrator is the AI. It drives the pipeline, writes the code, reads the manuscripts, and keeps the record. Greg is the author the pipeline belongs to, a software engineer who gives direction in one-line messages and measures everything against a single standard: quality has to be a property of...

Every enterprise is being told to go event-driven. Kafka is on every architecture diagram, “real-time” is in every executive deck — and a lot of what’s being built is expensive confusion. Event sourcing adopted because a conference talk made it sound inevitable. Exactly-once delivery promised by people who have never operated a broker under load. CQRS bolted onto systems that needed a database index. This book is the corrective: the honest, comprehensive, design-level guide to event-driven architecture that actually works in production. From the author of Designing Solutions ...

You've played around with ChatGPT. Asked it to write an email. Maybe summarize a few articles. And the same question keeps circling: "People are making real money with this. Why can't I figure out how?" It's not that you haven't tried. But every time, you hit the same wall. Written by Milo Foster, author of The AI Workshop series, this book gives you a complete system for building AI-powered income using nothing but ChatGPT and plain English. No coding. EVER.

Quantum computing promises breakthroughs in chemistry, optimization, materials science, and cryptography—but none of it becomes real until the field solves one defining challenge: keeping fragile qubits alive long enough to compute. Today’s machines forget information in fractions of a millisecond, and every vendor roadmap quietly depends on crossing a fault‑tolerance threshold that most professionals have never seen explained clearly. This book fills that gap with a plain‑English, engineer‑friendly guide to quantum error correction—the discipline that transforms unstable ...

Design Blueprints That Look Like They Were Made by a $100,000 Architect Staring at a blank AutoCAD canvas can feel like looking at a wall of alien icons. The software has a reputation for being notoriously intimidating, but here is the secret: AutoCAD is far easier to learn than it looks. Most beginners don't fail because of the concepts; they fail because of dry, confusing instructions that lack real-world context. In AutoCAD for Beginners, seasoned designer and educator Piers Kensington tears down that wall of confusion, guiding you step-by-step from your very first line to a ...
