A book about thinking thoughts and how our minds work By Dr. George and Linda Pransky.
Digitalization is a long socio-historic process in which all areas of society�s activities are reconfigured. In the first volume of Digitalization of Society and Socio-political Issues, there is an examination of the transformations linked to the development of digital platforms and social media which affect cultural and communicational industries. The book also analyzes the formation of Big Data, their algorithmic processing and the societal changes which result from them (social monitoring and control in particular). Through diverse critical reflections, it equally presents different ways that digital participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to eventual emancipatory practices. Following on, the second volume examines the transformations that are linked to digital practices that affect the production, circulation and consumption of information, as well as new forms that are taken by social mobilizations. It treats several important issues in the digital era that are more likely to become the subject of public debates, among which one can include the renewed relationship between research and digital. Through diverse critical reflections, it equally presents different ways that digital participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to eventual emancipatory practices.

The alien enigma continues to gain more interest as information on the subject increases. Books are widely available along with information through the computer as well as various news media. Knowledge alone, however, does not prove aliens already are among us. Positive proof hinges on some sort of personal experience such as abduction or missing time. The vicarious alien experiences you will have through me in this book are the next best thing to personal experience. Denial and disbelief are likely as you walk in my shoes and meet my alien contacts. You cannot read about these experiences anywhere else as they are unique to me. I am genetically a part of the alien enigma. -George Syring Texas, 2017
Captain Simon Stilwell, fighter pilot, is captured after being shot down on a North Vietnamese bombing mission. A decorated hero, he escapes the Hanoi Hilton prison, but at home, he is plagued by demons... Did he actually murder a hundred schoolchildren on a mission gone wrong? He cannot accept "hero" status with these unanswered questions haunting him, and he must come to grips with the fact that he may be guilty of mass murder... Simon's wife, Selina, is dealing with her own demons revolving around the birth of their son and mounting guilt of questionable loyalties and infidelity. Simon isn't the same man she loved and who fathered their son. He drinks; they fight; he leaves. She's at a loss for answers. Enter the "other woman" Jan, who kept Simon sane and motivated him to escape the horrors of prison by writing numerous letters to him, of which he is given only two. Jan is a beautiful exotic dancer in an L.A. bar. After dancing she comes home, gets high, and writes letters to a POW seven thousand miles away in prison-he may be alive; he may be dead. But when she's dancing she wears only one thing: a sparkling silver bracelet with a POW's name on it. The Silver Bracelet is a gripping novel, a love story entangled with the Vietnam experience-and the crushing aftermath on one man and his family.
