I turned it down because I am too busy and I'm not sure it's the best use of my time. However, I agreed to pass on his interest in chapters to all of you. See his information below. If interested, please contact Stan Brunn directly. Thanks. From: Stan Brunn, Professor Emeritus, Geography, Univ of Kentucky brunn at uky.edu I am editing a megabook on THE CHANGING WORLD LANGUAGE MAP which will include original chapters on a wide variety of topics about language including origin, diffusion, cultures, conflicts, representation, instruction, technology, regions and mapping. Also I consider art, music, theater, film and architecture as languages. I would be very interested in including a couple chapters on these topics: (a) the national and international networks of specialized libraries (law, health, theology, environment, maps, or a specific region), (b) ethical issues and challenges facing libraries in a virtual world, (c) linkages Global South libraries have to the Global North and (d) censorship in the digital age. The publisher of the forthcoming book will be Springer, which also published my megabook on religion a couple years ago. -Shannon Oltmann Dr. Shannon M.

It advances the argument that industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution that follows on from technological revolutions brought about by water and steam power (industrial revolution 1.0), electric power (industrial revolution 2.0), and computing/computerised automation (industrial revolution 3.0). In 1845/46, Marx and Engels wrote The German Ideology. 170 years later, we live in the time of digital capitalism that has its own peculiar forms of ideology. This paper argues that ?industry 4.0? is the new German ideology, the digital German ideology. --- Cet email a fait l'objet d'une analyse antivirus par AVG. http://www.avg.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
