This scattered collection of rambling rants lauding Google’s abilities to harness the power of the Internet Age generally misses the mark. Blog impresario Jarvis uses the company’s success to trace aspects of the new customer-driven, user-generated, niche-market-oriented, customized and collaborative world. While his insights are stimulating, Jarvis’s tone is acerbic and condescending; equally off-putting is his pervasive name-dropping. The book picks up in a section on media, where the author finally launches a fascinating discussion of how businesses—especially media and entertainment industries—can continue to evolve and profit by using Google’s strategies. Unfortunately, Jarvis may have lost the reader by that point as his attempt to cover too many topics reads more like a series of frenzied blog posts than a manifesto for the Internet age.

Writing for Digital Media teaches students how to write effectively for online audiences—whether they are crafting a story for the website of a daily newspaper or a personal blog. The lessons and exercises in each chapter help students build a solid understanding of the ways that the Internet has introduced new opportunities for dynamic storytelling as digital media have blurred roles of media producer, consumer, publisher and reader. Using the tools and strategies discussed in this book, students are able to use their insights into new media audiences to produce better content for digital formats and environments. Fundamentally, this book is about good writing—clear, precise, accurate, filled with energy and voice, and aimed directly at an audience. Writing for Digital Media also addresses all of the graphical, multimedia, hypertextual and interactive elements that come into play when writing for digital platforms. Learning how to achieve balance and a careful, deliberate blend of these elements is the other primary goal of this text. Writing for Digital Media teaches students not only how to create content as writers, but also how to think critically as a site manager or content developer might about issues such as graphic design, site architecture, and editorial consistency. By teaching these new skill sets alongside writing fundamentals, this book transforms students from writers who are simply able to post their stories online into engaging multimedia, digital storytellers.

“The author has accomplished his goal of promoting students’ interest in human behavior through his personable writing style. I did not choose Coon’s text because of his personal writing approach, although it was an added bonus. I chose his text mainly because after defining the topic, he asks question related to the topic that students may have and provides a direct answer to each question. I find that students ask questions that are similar to Coon’s questions and therefore, can redirect them to reread that particular section in the text’The journal entries allow students to relate to the situation occurring in their own life which then prompts them to want to know more about the topic’The author manages to incorporate the example from the journal entry into the chapter as he discusses various related topics, thereby continuing to hold students’ interests in the topic and connecting psychological concepts to daily activities.” “This text is an excellent introductory psychology text that provides a wide array of psychology topics and application to real-world experience. It is easily relatable and informative to students and creates a basis for many riveting and dynamic class discussions.” Download ebook: Psychology: A Journey, 4th Edition

Bill Clinton is a natural schmoozer, as is Barack Obama, and there is no doubt that the ability has served them well. By softening the opposition between private and public, personal and political, higher and lower, schmoozing plays a vital, but under-appreciated role as a life and leadership skill. Everybody schmoozes nowadays, but often it is the networking sort of schmoozing rather than the kind of schmoozing that creates good interactional feelings.
