As mankind plunges deeper and deeper into his technological jungle, it sometimes seems we are losing our appreciation of the arts. Networking computers takes precedent over networking friends and computer languages displace our native tongue.In her latest book of poetry, Lin Hsin Hsin does much to correct the balance. It is poetry for the technological age; it is poetry by the technological age. It is inspired by I.T. and it should inspire information technologists. Anyone who owns a computer, uses one at work or can remember struggling at school with programmes to improve the latest version of “Space Invaders” or “Wing Commander II” will enjoy reading this collection of 120 poems.The author's wit, knowledge of several languages (computer and phonetic) and her obvious and infectious love of the technology makes each poem amusing or provocative and often both at the same time. All aspects of computer technology are tackled, software, hardware and manware; there are comments and jokes which will be appreciated by both the novice and computer professional alike.This is the first book which can be classified under “literature” and “technology” in equal measure. However it is classified, after having a taste of the poems, there is no doubt the reader will quickly devour the whole book.Illustrations:

A full understanding of relationship processes must include consideration of theoretically inconvenient and/or socially disfavored instances as well as those whose value and importance, traditionally, have been acknowledged in research. "Moving off the beaten track," Under-Studied Relationships begins to rectify existing scholarship's tendency to ignore the diverse and emergent forms of relationships that are increasingly evident in modern society. Editors Julia T. Wood and Steve Duck have gathered together outstanding researchers in the field to discuss such largely overlooked issues as long-lasting marriages, cultural-minority relationships, lesbian/gay relationships, simultaneous hierarchical and friendships at work, nonmarital cohabitation, long-distance relationships, and personal relationships over computer networks.

 Widely considered the most complex of human emotions, romantic love both shapes and reflects core societal values, its expression offering a window into the cultural zeitgeist. In popular culture, romantic love has long been a mainstay of film, television and music. The gap between fictitious narratives of love and real-life ones is, however, usually wide--American's expectations of romance and affection often transcend reality. Tracing the history of love in American culture, this book offers insight into both the national character and emotional nature.

Internet Studies has been one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding interdisciplinary fields to emerge over the last decade. The Oxford Handbook of Internet Studies has been designed to provide a valuable resource for academics and students in this area, bringing together leading scholarly perspectives on how the Internet has been studied and how the research agenda should be pursued in the future. The Handbook aims to focus on Internet Studies as an emerging field, each chapter seeking to provide a synthesis and critical assessment of the research in a particular area. Topics covered include social perspectives on the technology of the Internet, its role in everyday life and work, implications for communication, power, and influence, and the governance and regulation of the Internet. The Handbook is a landmark in this new interdisciplinary field, not only helping to strengthen research on the key questions, but also shape research, policy, and practice across many disciplines that are finding the Internet and its political, economic, cultural, and other societal implications increasingly central to their own key areas of inquiry.

The focus of this book is on the media representations of the use of the Internet in seeking intimate connections—be it a committed relationship, a hook-up, or a community in which to dabble in fringe sexual practices. Popular culture (film, narrative television, the news media, and advertising) present two very distinct pictures of the use of the Internet as related to intimacy. From news reports about victims of online dating, to the presentation of the desperate and dateless, the perverts and the deviants, a distinct frame for the intimacy/Internet connection is negativity. In some examples however, a changing picture is emerging. The ubiquitousness of Internet use today has meant a slow increase in comparatively more positive representations of successful online romances in the news, resulting in more positive-spin advertising and a more even-handed presence of such liaisons in narrative television and film. Both the positive and the negative media representations are categorised and analysed in this book to explore what they reveal about the intersection of gender, sexuality, technology and the changing mores regarding intimacy.
