Cars We Loved in the 1980s
It was brash and it was loud – the 1980s put paid to the glumness of the ’70s and nowhere was that more obvious than in the cars we drove, which took a quantum leap in durability, performance, equipment and style. They had to: Japanese quality and European design were luring away ever more customers. Features such as fuel injection, turbochargers, computer-controlled systems and four-wheel drive became commonplace. This was also the decade that brought us the people-carrier and the off-roader, new classes of car that radically reshaped family transport. Meanwhile, seatbelt-wearing became law, the M25 opened, speed cameras appeared and ram-raiding was the new motoring nemesis. Relive everything car-related in Britain in the 1980s with Giles Chapman.

Computing with Quantum Cats: From Alan Turing to Teleportation: From Colossus to Qubits
Pioneering study of the science behind quantum computing and what the new quantum reality will mean for mankind.
The quantum computer is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum computers — which, like Schrödinger’s famous ‘dead and alive’ cat, rely on entities like electrons, photons or atoms existing in two states at the same time — is set to turn the computing world on its head.
In his fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology, John Gribbin updates his previous views on the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where ‘everything is real’. Looking back to Alan Turing’s work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, Gribbin explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as in principle. He takes us beyond the arena of theoretical physics to explore their practical applications — from machines which learn through ‘intuition’ and trial and error to unhackable laptops and smartphones. And he investigates the potential for this extraordinary science to create a world where communication occurs faster than light and teleportation is possible.Read more

Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity
Humanity is consumed by relentless transformation
Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice. As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.”The world-famous robot, Sophia, symbolises a rising techno-religion. She takes her name from the goddess—or Aeon—whose fall from grace is described in the Gnostic Gospels.
With an academic background in both science and theology, Allen confronts the paradox of what he calls “good people constructing a digital abomination.” Dark Aeon is nothing less than a cri de coeur for humanity itself. He takes us on a roller coaster ride through history and the emergence of Scientism, and from government-mandated mRNA vaccines to the weird visions of cyborg billionaires like Elon Musk.
From Silicon Valley to China, these globalists’ visions of humanity’s future, exposed and described in Dark Aeon, are dire and terrifying. But Joe Allen argues that humanity’s salvation is within our grasp. Only if we refuse to avert our eyes from the impending twilight before us.Read more

Decarbonise Digital: Facts. Methods. Action.
Look around, and it is clear that we now live in an increasingly digital world. Everywhere we turn, we hear talk of Future Cities, Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Generative AI. Technology and digital solutions are here and growing, with the social, educational, health, and business value of technology unquestionable. But behind the scenes, this growth has a carbon cost that has remained invisible to most of us.
The time has come to start focusing on on reducing the energy consumption of digital and the technological infrastructures, which underpin nearly all of our daily activities. Having spent the last two years engaging with some of the world’s leading cloud service providers, software companies, digital leaders, technology consultancies, and system integrators, I am now of the firm belief that we have an opportunity that could propel the technology sector to the forefront of decarbonisation .
The book is organised into five major parts covering:
- A Foundation section providing an overview of climate change and the impact of digital
- A more detailed Sustainable Software Engineering principles and practices section aimed at providing an in-depth view of the techniques that can be used to deliver greener software products
- An introduction to Green Design to help guide the sustainability of digital products and services even before coding commences
- A Sustainable IT for Technology Leaders section to help readers shape a sustainable IT strategy and consider the process and technology elements needed to be successful
- A People and Culture section to help you consider the importance of building capability, the challenges of eco-anxiety and organisation structure to deliver a Sustainable IT Strategy
Whether you are a software engineer, a designer, an IT leader or manager, we will provide you with practical examples and online self-assessments to help you evaluate your own level of understanding and readiness to take action.
We are now able to hold up a mirror, and what we all need is for you to gaze in it and seize the opportunity to create an even better, faster, more efficient, and planet-friendly version of your incredible digital solutions.
The technology industry is filled with some of the brightest individuals in the world. We are a group of doers, and uniquely capable due to our inventiveness, innovation mindset, and pure determination to solve problems. We must abandon the notion that taking action will necessitate slowing things down or regressing to a less polluting version of the past. In our digital world, we must be progressive in our actions and utilise technological advancements to create the efficiencies required to support the development of digital. But we must recognise that we can only satisfy the technological demands of societies and businesses if we base this expansion on a more sustainable IT industry.
In our digital world we must move forward, our actions be progressive, and able to utilise the advancements in technology to create the efficiencies needed to support the growth of digital.

Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, or Kindle device.
Let me guess: You recently got a new DSLR camera, and in all your excitement, you tossed the manual somewhere and then went out to take pictures. Of course, similar to a “point-and-shoot” camera, anybody can take a fairly decent image using the Auto setting, because the camera does all of the work for you! However, with Auto mode, you’ll soon find yourself frustrated at the lackluster quality the photographs have. Auto mode simply doesn’t give you enough control over your image.
Believe it or not, photography is actually a hard skill to learn. The biggest obstacle is that people often feel daunted by all of the seemingly complex functions, buttons, and dials available to them on a DSLR camera. And this is where I come in to help! I’ve written this short book as an easy-to-understand guide on how to use the manual functions on your camera. Regardless of the brand of your camera, the goal of this eBook is to take the fear out of all the unknown buttons and features. As you’ll come to find out, once you’ve gotten control over your camera, you’ll begin to have more control over your photographs. Your frustration with your camera will subside, and even if you consider yourself an amateur or a beginner, your images will take on a much more professional, technical quality. So if you’re ready to impress yourself (and get your money’s worth from your expensive camera) by becoming a savvy DSLR photographer, then let’s get started!
Here Is A Preview Of What You’ll Learn…
- Getting Started with the Basics
- Choosing Your Settings
- Understanding the Dial on Top of Your Camera
- Learning to Read the Display
- Getting the Hang of Metering Modes and Focus Modes
- Understanding ISO and White Balance
- Learning to Work in RAW
- Much, much more!

Environmental Law: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Environmental law is the law concerned with environmental problems. It is a vast area of law that operates from the local to the global, involving a range of different legal and regulatory techniques. In theory, environmental protection is a no brainer. Few people would actively argue for pollution or environmental destruction. Ensuring a clean environment is ethically desirable, and also sensible from a purely self-interested perspective. Yet, in practice, environmental law is a messy and complex business fraught with conflict. Whilst environmental law is often characterized in overly simplistic terms, with a law being seen as be a magic wand that solves an environmental problem, the reality is that creating and maintaining a body of laws to address and avoid problems is not easy, and involves legislators, courts, regulators and communities.This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main features of environmental law, and discusses how environmental law deals with multiple interests, socio-political conflicts, and the limits of knowledge about the environment. Showing how interdependent societies across the world have developed robust and legitimate bodies of law to address environmental problems, Elizabeth Fisher discusses some of the major issues involved in environmental law’s: nation statehood, power, the reframing role of law, the need to ensure real environmental improvements, and environmental justice. As Fisher explains, environmental law is, and will always be, necessary but inherently controversial.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Every Page Is Page One: Topic-Based Writing for Technical Communication and the Web
The Web changes how people use content; not just content on the Web, but all content. If your content is not easy to find and immediately helpful, readers will move on almost at once. We are all children of the Web, and we come to any information system, including product documentation, looking for the search box and expecting every search to work like Google. There is no first, last, previous, next, up, or back anymore. Every Page is Page One.For technical communicators, this Every Page is Page One environment presents a unique challenge: How do you cover a large and complex product using only topics, and how do you enable your readers to find and navigate topic-based content effectively?
In this ground-breaking book, Mark Baker looks beyond the usual advice on writing for the Web, and beyond the idea of topic-based writing merely as an aid to efficiency and reuse, to explore how readers really use information in the age of the Web and to lay out an approach to planning, creating, managing, and organizing topic-based documentation that really works for the reader.
