This book attempts to show McLuhan's tetrad at work in society. It builds an everyday-applicable model that integrates media as metaphors comprising three literary forms (synechdoche, metonymy and... More > irony), which stand in relationship with eight divergent dimensions.
Media make the social environment more diverse in time and space, but limit this diversity because we don't understand their functionality. Secondly, even though it seems as though Facebook profiles are a lesser version of self, self benefits evolutionarily from the extra confrontation with the 'real', making it more diverse (more selves) in time as well as in space.< Less
Understanding Operational Amplifiers (OA) is an important “brain-tool” in a growing number of scientific studies. However the student frequently feels the first approach to OA as a shock.... More > Several textbooks in fact require a great effort before the benefit/cost ratio becomes favorable, e.g. starting with a discouraging introduction on transistors. The transistor is the basic element in OA, but learning its working principle is not necessary for learning OA. In the modern analog electronic circuits, on the other hand, the basic building block is now the OA, not the transistor. Therefore here we start describing the AO and its most important applications, leaving a simplified description of diodes and transistors behavior in an optional Appendix. The goal of this book is to help the novice to acquire familiarity with the essential elements of analog electronics, making possible the understanding of many practical circuits.< Less
The idea of Eat to Live is to eat foods that have a very high nutrition to calorie ratio and avoid foods that don't provide much nutrition for the calories they contain, for example Fruits and...
