<blockquote>
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
A Doctoral dissertation in graphic novel form:<br />
<br />
"The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But
what if the two are inextricably linked, equal partners in
meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely as comics, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Unflattening</i>
is an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies conventional
forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of
graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct
knowledge."<br />

Jill Walker Rettberg’s Visualizing Networks of Electronic Literature
maps the fragmentary and dynamic field of electronic literature by
analyzing citations in 44 doctoral dissertations published between 2002
and 2013. Applying “distant reading” strategies to the ELMCIP Knowledge
Base, Rettberg identifies key works in the field, shifting genres, and
changing approaches to scholarship. </blockquote>

Review: ""Tom Gauld is pretty brilliant. <i>You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack</i>..

the bookish ones, taking chummy digs at everyone from Martin Amis to the

<li>Life sciences tend to have a flatter citations trend [shaded

experts to grasp—in contrast to fields like mathematics—so it takes less
time for them to catch on.</li>
<li>Among the authors who wrote multiple top papers [arcs that link
dots] are five Nobel laureates. John Pople, a theoretical chemist who
won in 1998, appears twice in multidisciplinary chemistry and three
times in physical chemistry. </li>
<li>Large numbers of authors [dots] tend to appear on more recent
papers, as in environmental science. Ambitious experiments today can
require hundreds of scientists, and in some fields big collaborations
can lead to very long author lists. </li>
<li>The most-cited papers [black music notes]have longer lifetimes than
others [shaded portions]. Some are methods papers, which lay out experimental techniques other scientists use. Others articulate
important theories, cited for decades. </li>

An Indian summary
Which countries match the GDP and population of India's states and territories?
How big is Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state? One way of answering the question is to take its total area: 95,000 square miles (246,000 sq km). Another way is to think of it as a country. If Uttar Pradesh were to declare independence, it would be the world's fifth most populous country (as the map below shows, it has about the same number of residents as Brazil). Yet its economy would only be the size of Qatar, a tiny oil-rich state of fewer than 2m people. That makes it poor on a per person basis. Despite India's two decades of rapid growth, Uttar Pradesh's GDP per head is close to that of Kenya. The map below presents country equivalents for India's states and territories in terms of GDP, GDP per person (in PPP terms) and population. Please play around with it and tell us what you think.

The best way to view this graphic is by clicking on the picture and
then selecting the ‘Full Screen’ option at the top right hand corner of
the image *<br /> <br /> Since the dawn of mankind, humans have tried to
make sense of their world, especially when faced with unknown phenomena
such as 'what causes storms', 'what happens to us after we die', and
'why to the planets move through the night sky'?<br /> <br /> As hom<span class="text_exposed_show">o-sapiens
developed the ability for cognitive thought, so too did the first signs
of religion seem to arise. The earliest evidence of a religious
practice can be traced back 300,000 years ago when we began to bury our
dead. Although we cannot define this as the origin of faith, it does
suggest that at the dawn of humanity, we had begun to consider some kind
of afterlife. <br /> <br /> Over time, this religious practice gave rise to
a new ideology which spread across the continents, known today as
‘Animism’. This emerging faith was the root belief system that would
evolve and branch out into numerous other ideologies all over the world.
The journey of these evolving religions can be broken down into five
core stages:<br /> <br /> • Stage 1: Animism (100,000 BCE – Present)<br /> <br />
Humans began to believe that natural constructs (e.g. plants, animals,
rocks and wind) possessed a spiritual essence. These spirit entities
were believed to have powers and temperaments that influenced our
everyday world. By worshiping these divine beings, it was believed we
could maintain harmony with this spirit world and gain favors from them.
<br /> <br /> • Stage 2: Polytheism (5,500 BCE – Present)<br /> <br /> The
roots of Polytheism seem to lie in the Proto-Indo-European traditions.
It seems likely the generation of new Gods were adopted from the nature
spirits of the old world (giving abstract beings of thunder and Earth a
more human form). During the Neolithic revolution, civilisations began
to emerge requiring new areas of expertise (e.g. lawmaking, metallurgy,
agriculture and commerce). It was the Indo-European Gods who took on the
role of guide and leader to the civilised world. <br /> <br /> Typically
these divine beings were divided into several classes, overseeing the
heavens, the mortal realm and the underworld. Each deity possessed their
own powers, religious practice and domain (e.g. trading, diplomacy,
warcraft etc). Man could either worship one or all of these beings,
gaining favor from them via offerings, prayer and even sacrifice. <br /> <br /> • Stage 3: Monotheism (1348 BCE – Present)<br /> <br />
In the Bronze Age, a new movement took shape that prioritised one God
over all other deities. This system is known as Monotheism - a belief in
one supreme being. In 1348 BCE, the pharaoh Akhenaten, raised a lesser
known God called 'Aten' to supreme status, downplaying the role of all
other Egyptian deities. A little later in Iran, Zoroaster (a Persian
priest) claimed 'Ahura Mazda' to be the one supreme deity. This newly
emerging system posited that one creator god had formed the known
universe, and was totally self-sufficient, capable of ruling over all
other domains. This idea became prominent in Judaism, Christianity,
Islam, and Sikhism.<br /> <br /> Most monotheistic systems tend to be
exclusive in nature, which meant the gods of the Old world had to be
purged from mans consciousness. As a consequence, monotheistic religions
displayed less religious tolerance than polytheistic religions,
resulting in many wars and political disputes.<br /> <br /> • Stage 4: Philosophy (585 BCE – Present)<br /> <br />
During the Iron Age, many scholars began to question the faith systems
of their day. Rather than accepting a religious view as the definitive
answer to reality, they began to question the nature of the divine.
These probing minds inspired a philosophical movement that swept
throughout the old world (often ascribed to the Greek thinker
Pythagoras). Great thinkers like Lao Tzu, Epicurus, Confucius and
Hypatia were in pursuit of the ultimate, spiritual truth which included a
desire to understand the laws behind reality. <br /> <br /> What set these
philosophers apart from other religious systems was the fact that they
emphasised the use of reason and critical thinking over faith. In
philosophy, something is considered true only if it is completely proven
true on a long term basis by means of reasoning. If not, then it can
not be considered the ultimate truth. <br /> <br /> However, the Biblical
worldview held sway for over a thousand years, ridiculing many
philosophical truths as bordering upon blasphemy. Copernicus and Galileo
the two foremost casualties of theological interference, with Galileo
placed under house arrest by the notorious Inquisition. But all this was
soon to change.<br /> <br /> • Stage 5: Scientific Revolution (1600 CE – Present)<br /> <br />
Over many centuries, philosophical questioning and testing gave rise to
a new movement - known as the scientific revolution. A school of
scientists believed that reality should be allowed to speak for itself,
removing the subjectivity of human imagination and superstition. <br /> <br />
The basic procedure of the scientific method was to explain a
phenomenon using a hypotheses, and then designing a series of
experiments to test this hypotheses. By repeating these tests, the
validity of this theory would be revealed (determining it as either fact
or fallacy). Such tests have given humanity an objective and profound
insight into the workings of the universe.<br /> <br /> This radical
ideology quickly spread across Europe and the America's, introducing new
perspectives on the natural world and man's place in it. The scientific
revolution challenged ideas grounded in tradition and faith, promoting
healthy skepticism and reasoning. <br /> <br /> It opposed superstition and
religious intolerance, making a long-term impact on the culture,
politics, and governments of the Western world. It is considered the
best method for making useful and practical additions to human knowledge
about the physical world, and has resulted in the technological leaps
made since it developed in the 1600's. This includes:<br /> <br /> * Copernicus updating of the heliocentric model by replacing the Earth with the sun as center of the known universe.<br /> <br /> * Isaac Newton's law of gravity which explained the elliptical orbits of the planets.<br /> <br />
* Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, which
explained that all living things in the world evolved from a common
ancestor in the distant past.</span></div>

Companies like Pepsi spend millions of dollars on their logos, but some iconic logos like Google and Coca-Cola didn’t cost a single penny and they have remained almost unchanged since they were originally designed. This may well be due to their clever use of colors and the psychology of emotions behind them.
On the other hand, having an elite logo is well worth the cost. Some logos, like Apple or Nike, are so powerful they don’t even need word-marks to be recognizable. In fact, psychologists proved that famous logos are so wired into our brains, that at the age of 2 kids can already link a product with its logo in 67% of cases.

"A scholarly discussion on the push and pull of business ethics. Do good guys really finish last?... Slick strategies and a fresh approach for business professionals wishing to tip the scales of reciprocity."(Review: <a href="https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/adam-grant/give-and-take/">KIRKUS.COM</a>)<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><u>About the book</u></b>: <br />
<div id="iframeContent">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">A <i>New York Times </i>and <i>Wall Street Journal </i>bestseller from Wharton's top-rated professor</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></span><br /> Named one of the best books of 2013 by Amazon, the <i>Financial Times</i>, and the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>-<i> </i>as well as one of <i>Oprah's </i>riveting reads, <i>Fortune</i>'s must-read business books, and the <i>Washington Post</i>'s<i> </i>books every leader should read.</div>
<div>
<br />
For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success:
passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly
dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work,
most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas
takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to
trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to
others without expecting anything in return.<br /> <br /> Using his own
pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Adam Grant
shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although
some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary
results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge
evidence with captivating stories, Grant shows how one of America's best
networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind
one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in
anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft
busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have
anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed--without ever looking at a single number.</div>
<div>
<br />
Praised by bestselling authors such as Susan Cain, Dan Pink, Tony
Hsieh, Seth Godin, Dan Ariely, Gretchen Rubin, David Allen, Dan Gilbert,
and Robert Cialdini--along with senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estee Lauder, Twitter, Nike, and NASA--<i>Give and Take</i> highlights
what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and
leadership skills have in common. This landmark book opens up an
approach to success that has the power to transform not just individuals
and groups, but entire organizations and communities. </div>
