Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Tools, interfaces, methods, and practices that can help bring about a healthy, socially inclusive, and sustainable food future.Our contemporary concerns about food range from food security to agricultural sustainability to getting dinner on the table for family and friends. This book investigates food issues as they intersect with participatory Internet culture--blogs, wikis, online photo- and video-sharing platforms, and social networks--in efforts to bring about a healthy, socially inclusive, and sustainable food future. Focusing on our urban environments provisioned with digital and network capacities, and drawing on such bottom-up sociotechnical trends as DIY and open source, the chapters describe engagements with food and technology that engender (re-)creative interactions.In the first section, Eat, contributors discuss technology-aided approaches to sustainable dining, including digital communication between farmers and urban consumers and a telematic dinner party at which guests are present electronically. The chapters in Cook describe, among other things, smart chopping boards that encourage mindful eating and a website that supports urban wild fruit foraging. Finally, Grow connects human-computer interaction with achieving a secure, safe, and ethical food supply, offering chapters on the use of interactive technologies in urban agriculture, efforts to trace the provenance of food with a Fair Tracing tool, and other projects.ContributorsJoon Sang Baek, Pollie Barden, Eric P.

Paperback. Greg Hearn, Taylor & Francis. The communication superhighway, or the information superhighway as it is often more limitingly called, does not exist. It is an idea, the conceptualisation of which will largely shape its final realisation and use. As the crowning glory of the post-industrial age, its potential is as great as it is indeterminate. From email to cable TV, remote diagnostics to telesurgery, from videoconferencing to online education, its social and economic impact will be as fundamental as its technological. The Communication Superhighway is the first Australian text to analyse the social and economic dimensions of the superhighway. It takes a multidiscplinary approach to the social construction vs technological determinism debate, and offers an understanding of the change and education processes needed for the new but essential forms of communication which are evolving. Part 1 of The Communication Superhighway is explanatory, demystifying the emerging technologies and the social context of that technological revolution. Part 2 is exploratory, examining the impact, present and future, of the communication superhighway on its two major institutional targets>organisations and the consumer economy. The superhighway has already changed the way we do business, and its potential to alter consumption patterns and processes has not yet been stretched. Part 3 draws out the conceptual tools and principles needed for the continuing analysis of the unfolding digital age. Greg Hearn is Associate Professor, School of Communication at Queensland University of Technology. Tom Mandeville is a Senior Lecturer in economics at the University of Queensland and, with David Anthony, is a researcher at the Communication Centre, QUT. Paperback.…
