Paperback. Condizione: Good. An examination of software practice in Brazil that reveals both the globalization and the localization of software development.Software development would seem to be a quintessential example of today's Internet-enabled knowledge work--a global profession not bound by the constraints of geography. In>Coding Places, Yuri Takhteyev looks at the work of software developers who inhabit two contexts: a geographical area--in this case, greater Rio de Janeiro--and a world of practice, a global system of activities linked by shared meanings and joint practice. The work of the Brazilian developers, Takhteyev discovers, reveals a paradox of the world of software: it is both diffuse and sharply centralized. The world of software revolves around a handful of places--in particular, the San Francisco Bay area--that exercise substantial control over both the material and cultural elements of software production. Takhteyev shows how in this context Brazilian software developers work to find their place in the world of software and to bring its benefits to their city.Takhteyev's study closely examines Lua, an open source programming language developed in Rio but used in such internationally popular products as>World of Warcraft and>Angry Birds. He shows that Lua had to be separated from its local origins on the periphery in order to achieve success abroad. The developers, Portuguese speakers, used English in much of their work on Lua. By bringing to light the work that peripheral practitioners must do to give software its seeming universality, Takhteyev offers a revealing perspective on the not-so-flat world of globalization.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Why fears about a looming student loan crisis are unfounded?and how they obscure what's really wrong with student lendingCollege tuition and student debt levels have been rising at an alarming pace for at least two decades. These trends, coupled with an economy weakened by a major recession, have raised serious questions about whether we are headed for a major crisis, with borrowers defaulting on their loans in unprecedented numbers and taxpayers being forced to foot the bill. Game of Loans draws on new evidence to explain why such fears are misplaced?and how the popular myth of a looming crisis has obscured the real problems facing student lending in America.Bringing needed clarity to an issue that concerns all of us, Beth Akers and Matthew Chingos cut through the sensationalism and misleading rhetoric to make the compelling case that college remains a good investment for most students. They show how, in fact, typical borrowers face affordable debt burdens, and argue that the truly serious cases of financial hardship portrayed in the media are less common than the popular narrative would have us believe. But there are more troubling problems with student loans that don't receive the same attention. They include high rates of avoidable defaults by students who take on loans but don?t finish college?the riskiest segment of borrowers?and a dysfunctional market where competition among colleges drives tuition costs up instead of down.Persuasive and compelling, Game of Loans moves beyond the emotionally charged and politicized talk surrounding student debt, and offers a set of sensible policy proposals that can solve the real problems in student lending.…

Condizione: Fair. BuckBy: Benjamin H. MillerThere are few challenges more painful than coping with the unexpected death of a loved one. And for Buckley Acorns, he is no stranger to blocking out pain. From broken bones to third degree burns, Buckley eats pain for breakfast, and dishes out more than your average rookie detective.Set in modern day rural Nevada, the story of Detective Buck is one of humanism shared between him, and the friends he needs to protect, of mystery shrouding a murderer terrorizing the county, and of perseverance held within this man who has nothing to lose in uncovering the truth. After all, whatever doesn't kill him, only makes him stronger.About the AuthorBenjamin H. Miller grew up in the capital city of Carson City, Nevada. He began writing at a young age with a passion for super powered protagonists in mysterious and suspenseful storylines. By sixteen, Miller knew he wanted to be a creative; his will to write plays, songs, and stories were only strengthened by the culturally flushed community in which he lived. He had always taken comfort from the city's bright lights, live music, entertainment, and other pieces of the lovable Nevada culture.Miller and his high school pals often produced silly yet emotionally powered videos to watch on streaming platforms, some containing mystery, some comedy, and all fun to discuss. One day during the cold winter, the group adventured around their town filming a cop movie video about a duo of detectives in search of a murder. This experience inspired Miller to write his first book. He hopes his books will be well accepted into the ever-changing world so he may give back to the world that inspired him.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Grace is a church word that sometimes gets lost in the world of teenagers. Research shows that most teenagers have embraced a system of belief in which being a follower of Jesus is defined by behavior, instead of the grace of God offered through Christ. Grace is designed to show youth that grace is a real, practical force in their lives even in the midst of brokenness, fear, doubt, and stress. These key factors can often become major stumbling blocks for youth if they are not equipped with the tools to understand how God's grace operates in each of these areas. Each lesson in the Groove: Grace Student Journal includes daily devotions and reflections to help young people work through the issues raised. Sometimes the lessons leave youth with more reflection and processing to do; such challenges help youth develop a maturing, deepening faith that will last into adulthood. The Groove Bible study series invites teens to learn the essentials of their faith, own their story, and engage the world in serving Jesus. Each topical study consists of four weekly sessions that are easy to lead and relate to life issues teens face. With up to 48 weeks available, Groove is great for Sunday and mid-week gatherings for both large and small groups as well as retreats. The leader guide contains everything needed to lead teens through a Groove study, including teaching outlines, leader notes, Bible background, reflections, and parent communication.…
