The phrase "information society" is one so ubiquitous it has become passe, but its continued use, even in academic spheres, indicates a shared acknowledgement: that information, in its myriad mercurial forms, has become so integrated into every facet of modern life that it must be considered first and foremost when making any attempt to describe the character of the age. TheHandbook of Research on Cultural and Economic Impacts of the Information Society brings together an international and interdisciplinary forum of scholars and researchers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role that information plays in all aspects of modern society. Through case-studies and empirical analyses, this volume provides an audience of academics, researchers, students, and professionals with a timely and straightforward reference source on the role that information technology plays in such spheres as law enforcement, democracy, governance, finance, rural development, and more. Featuring empirical research and real-world case studies, this handbook explores concepts including, but not limited to, consumer culture, the impact of information and communication technologies on business innovation, cloud computing services, open and unrestricted data, and the potential value of affective computing.

Imagine being able to know on a regular basis whether your habits are on the right or the wrong track towards protecting your health. "Beat Cancer Before it Beats You" was written for you, my reader, to safeguard and improve your health on a daily basis. Imagine the body giving you a visual feedback about the status of your health, a measure of the acidity of your body by self testing. There is no need to get a prescription and it will cost only a few pennies a day. The motivation for the book came from a surprising discovery by the author. The author has been studying about acidity in the body and diseases for more than a decade before the amazing discovery related to his 89 year old Dad's cancer. The author's dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January 2012. Surgery and radiation were ruled out because of the trauma involved. There was no option but to leave it alone and wait for the cancer to take its toll. 18 months after the diagnosis, the patient continues to enjoy normal health with no visible symptoms of cancer. The book will reveal the simple steps taken by the author while he makes a call for further research. In the process of writing the book, the author collaborated with a medical doctor and discovered many clinical papers linking acidity of the body and diseases. The book will reveal the tips that can be used to safeguard your health and that of everyone in your circle of influence.

Esteemed as a literary critic and poet, Edgar Allan Poe was most highly acclaimed for his tales and sketches. He transformed the short story from anecdote to art, virtually created the detective story, and perfected the psychological thriller. This volume is the first of two, edited by the consummate Poe scholar Thomas Ollive Mabbott, collecting all the tales of this master of the uncanny, the unnerving, and the terrifying. Poe's stories reflect his professed method of "writing as if the author were firmly impressed with the truth, yet astonished at the immensity of the wonders he related." Marrying grotesque inventiveness with superb plot construction, Poe's strikingly original tales often use only one main character and one main incident. In many of them, horror and suspense, revenge and torture, are laced with hilarious satire. Each volume is enriched with Mabbott's detailed and authoritative notes on sources, the history and collation of all known texts authorized by Poe, and variants of Poe's "final" version. Volume 1 includes Poe's earliest parodies, beginning in 1831, and gathers his gothic tales written through 1842. The stories collected in this volume include "Ms. Found in a Bottle," the horrific "Berenice," "Ligeia" (which Poe considered his finest tale), "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and one of his most famous stories, "The Fall of the House of Usher." Promising spine-tingling delights and sleepless nights, this annotated edition of Tales and Sketches is a treasure trove for scholars and general readers alike, confirming Poe's status as one of literary art's "most brilliant but erratic stars."
