The Filter Bubble
Penguin Press, 2011. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 294. An eye-opening account of how the hidden rise of personalization on the Internet is controlling-and limiting-the information we consume. In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google's change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years-the rise of personalization. In this groundbreaking investigation of the new hidden Web, Pariser uncovers how this growing trend threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society-and reveals what we can do about it. Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Facebook-the primary news source for an increasing number of Americans-prioritizes the links it believes will appeal to you so that if you are a liberal, you can expect to see only progressive links. Even an old-media bastion like The Washington Post devotes the top of its home page to a news feed with the links your Facebook friends are sharing. Behind the scenes a burgeoning industry of data companies is tracking your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the color you painted your living room to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos. In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs-and because these filters are invisible, we won't know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas. While we all worry that the Internet is eroding privacy or shrinking our attention spans, Pariser uncovers a more pernicious and far- reaching trend on the Internet and shows how we can- and must-change course. With vivid detail and remarkable scope, The Filter Bubble reveals how personalization undermines the Internet's original purpose as an open platform for the spread of ideas and could leave us all in an isolated, echoing world.

De flair van een miljardair. Albert Frère, de man en de mythes
Van Halewyck, 2015. Paperback. Albert Frčres intrede in de financiėle wereld was een ongezien huzarenstukje: de Waalse zakenman kaapte in 1982 de buitenlandse activa van de Franse bank Paribas weg voor de neus van de toenmalige Franse president Mitterrand. Du jamais vu. In één beweging door greep hij de macht in de Belgische holding GBL. Vanaf dan volgde de ene transactie op de andere deal. In april 2015, na ruim dertig jaar schaven aan zijn beursimperium, trad Albert Frčre terug als CEO van de Groep Brussel Lambert (GBL). Dit boek legt de technieken van de Waalse financier bloot, brengt zijn grootste financiėle deals tot leven en gaat na wat hem dreef. Geen enkele onderneming was veilig voor Frčres gegoochel met participaties: het oliebedrijf Petrofina, de bank BBL, de verzekeraar Royale Belge of de nutsholding Tractebel. Hij verkocht en ruilde participaties tot hij was uitgegroeid tot een sleutelfiguur in de Franse beurswereld. De hamvraag blijft: heeft Frčre nu echt de uitverkoop van de Belgische kroonjuwelen georganiseerd? Of heeft hij gewoon handig ingespeeld op een trend die al leefde in Europa? De flair van een miljardair gaat op zoek naar Frčres drijfveren. De flair van een miljardair licht de nalatenschap van deze negentachtigjarige beurstycoon door en belicht de evolutie van het Belgische (en Franse) kapitalisme. Een saga van een man die vaak vriend én vijand wist te verbazen. ISBN: 9789056178895. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Flappers
Pan Macmillan, 2013. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 488. A gripping biography of six extraordinary women who, in their very different ways, epitomise the decade they came of age - the 1920s Glamorized, mythologized and demonized - the women of the 1920s prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. Flappers is in part a biography of that restless generation: starting with its first fashionable acts of rebellion just before the Great War, and continuing through to the end of the decade when the Wall Street crash signal led another cataclysmic world change. It focuses on six women who between them exemplified the range and daring of that generation`s spirit. Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Tamara de Lempicka were far from typical flappers. Although they danced the Charleston, wore fashionable clothes and partied with the rest of their peers, they made themselves prominent among the artists, icons, and heroines of their age. Talented, reckless and willful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they re-wrote their destinies in remarkable, entertaining and tragic ways. And between them they blazed the trail of the New Woman around the world. ISBN: 9780230752337. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Flight of the Shepherd. Microhistory and the psychology of cultural resilience in Bourbon Central Mexico
Aksant, 2005. Paperback. Pp: 256. Three lines of argument are developed in this book. The first discusses the prospects of microhistory as an instrument for uncovering the relationship between culture and the personal experience of an individual in historical documents. The second follows its theoretical underpinnings, arguing in clinical terms what may look like -thick theorization to many historians and ethnohistorians: that in our contemporary academies, only cognitive science can be the leading approach to answer the question of the relationship between culture and an individual's experiences. Cognitive science studies internal mental processes like memory, attitudes, motivation, reflection. It has shown that the brain's guesses of what is happening around it are based on an extensive, unconscious system of conceptual metaphor that is part of our everyday conceptual systems, and that can be thought of as a kind of -language of the unconscious. The third argument addressed brings the others together in the specific case of conscious dreaming, as can be recognized in the documents of Mexican cult leader Ant n the Shepherd and his movements from 1759-61. In particular, it interprets a flight to Purgatory, one of Ant n's experiences. The unfolding of the three arguments, intertwined as they are eventually, should help to deepen the understanding of the ways in which Ant n the Shepherd operated within the eighteenth century Central Mexican colonial milieu, with his experiences in Purgatory illustrating the cultural resilience of Amerindian peoples in the region.

Framing. Over de macht van taal in de politiek
Atlas Contact, Uitgeverij, 2011. Paperback. Pp: 192. - Vandalen gaan betalen,` dreigt de vvd. - De zorg is geen markt,` roept een sp`er ons toe. Een regeerakkoord? vvd en cda hebben een - stagneerakkoord` gemaakt " vindt d66. Wat hebben al deze leuzen gemeen? Het zijn stuk voor stuk voorbeelden van framing. Wie zijn politieke boodschap slim kan - framen`, of verpakken, kan een heel debat naar zijn hand zetten. In dit boek gaat het natuurlijk over wat framing is en wat de gevolgen ervan zijn voor het politieke debat. Maar er komen veel andere vragen aan de orde. Wat is de structuur van een goed frame? Wie is beter in framing, links of rechts? En wat moet je met zo`n eenvoudig frame, als de werkelijkheid vele malen ingewikkelder is? Er komt een hele rij politici voorbij, uit binnen- en buitenland. Een Rotterdamse wethouder met zijn papataks, een pitchende Mark Rutte, Obama met zijn parabels, maar ook Jan Schaefer met zijn - in geouwehoer kun je niet wonen`. Dat laatste is zeker waar, maar wie dit boek leest, zal bewondering krijgen voor politici die dit spel met taal kunnen spelen " en soms medelijden met hun tegenstanders. ISBN: 9789045019970.

Freedom in the Making of Western Culture [Volume 1]
Basic Books, 1991. Paperback. Pp: 487. A great (both in reach and accomplishment) piece of work by the distinguished sociologist (Harvard U.), volume 1 of the projected two- volume history of freedom traces the evolution of freedom from Greece in the sixth and fifth centuries BC through the permutations wrought by imperial Rome and the Middle Ages. Unsurprisingly, the Jamaican- born Patterson, long-concerned with the problems of oppression in both his early novels and later analytic studies, is particularly good on the relationship between the birth of freedom and the institution of slavery.
