Author-illustrator June Tate makes her debut with a heartwarming
picture book comparing the seemingly small but tenderly profound
moments hidden in our world. A modern-day classic in the making for
fans of Margaret Wise Brown and William Steig. This extraordinary
book focuses on the everyday moments that slow the world down for
us: a hug from someone we haven't seen in a long time, the soft
spot behind a cat's ear, a ladybug landing on your arm. And in the
end, the answer to the question of what's sweeter rings truest of
all. The perfect gift for occasions ranging from celebrations like
birthdays and graduation to a just-because gift appreciating
someone. Pass this book to the sweetest around you.
The Internet: A Philosophical Inquiry is the first book to assess clearly, accessibly and forcefully the implications of the Internet. Exploring the tensions between the warnings of Neo-Luddites and the bright optimism of the Technophiles, Graham offers the first concise and accessible exploration of the issues which arise as we enter further into the world of Cyberspace. This original and fascinating study takes us to the heart of questions that none of us can afford to ignore: how does the Internet affect our concepts of identity, moral anarchy, censorship, community, democracy, virtual reality and imagination? Free of jargon and full of stimulating ideas, this is essential reading for anyone wishing to think clearly and informatively about the complexities of our technological future.
