This time, Tapscott y Williams talk about how innovation process is expanding thanks to collaboration between people and the support they find in Social Media. Then, in the midst of the economic crisis, they completed this reflexion with another book: Macrowikinomics (2010), which is also an interesting read that I recommend. They first talked about this concept six years ago when they exposed the influence that collaboration and mass actions had into corporate structures. ![]() ![]() Have you ever heard about Wikinomics?

Although some may view this development as progression, Edward Bellamy chastises these “advances” in society. As a result the United States has become one of the one of the most powerful and wealthy nations in the world. The introduction to industrialization has promoted economic growth in the United States. Since the Civil War society has witnessed extreme change. Unlike other texts we have read this term, Looking Backwards displays a political perspective that critiques societal issues in the nineteenth century. ![]() In comparison to society in the nineteenth century Julian depicts this new world as a utopia.

Like many in the South, O’Connor abhorred racism but was slow to embrace integration, feeling that to rush things would lead to more violence. “What I hate most is its being in the New Yorker and all of the stupid Yankee liberals smacking their lips over typical life in the dear old dirty Southland.” “It’s the kind of story that the more you think about it the less satisfactory it gets,” O’Connor wrote. ![]() In the very same letter, O’Connor writes that “the topical is poison,” lambasting Eudora Welty’s famous story “Where Is the Voice Coming From,” written from the point of view of the man who assassinated the civil rights leader Medgar Evers. ![]() Her own “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” featuring a bigoted white woman riding a newly integrated bus, was, she feared, just such a story-though in a letter to a friend she confided that she “got away with it … because I say a plague on everybody’s house as far as the race business goes.” O’Connor was wary of stories that focused squarely and perhaps sentimentally on social issues. Illustration: June Glasson, for Farrar, Straus and GirouxĪt a little more than fifty pages, “ The Displaced Person” is one of Flannery O’Connor’s least anthologized stories-and if you share her beliefs about what she called “topical” stories, it’s also one of the most problematic. ![]() ![]() Wager came in bondage to Forrest’s plantation in Westmoreland Parish, Jamaica, where he again encountered John Cope, who had retired to his own Jamaican estate. Captured and sold at some point in the 1740s, Apongo became the property of Captain Arthur Forrest of HMS Wager, who renamed him for the Royal Navy warship. ![]() During this time, he had even been a notable guest of John Cope, a chief agent of Cape Coast Castle, Britain’s principal fort on the Gold Coast.

Across six winters, we tracked the migration of 94 little auks ( Alle alle), a key sentinel Arctic species, between their East Greenland breeding site and wintering areas off Newfoundland. We compared the winter location of seabirds with their modelled energy requirements and prey fields throughout the North Atlantic. Here, we analysed the ecological drivers of seabird migration within the framework of the energyscape concept, which we defined as the variations in the energy requirements of an organism across geographical space as a function of environmental conditions. Most current analyses require long-term monitoring of populations on the move, and shorter-term approaches are needed. There is an urgent need for a better understanding of animal migratory ecology under the influence of climate change. ![]() ![]() ![]() In her spare time, she can be found daydreaming about leaving work early to eat chocolate and drink wine.
