Product Description
Can computers change what you think and do? Can they motivate you to stop smoking, persuade you to buy insurance, or convince you to join the Army?
“Yes, they can,” says Dr. B.J. Fogg, director of the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford University. Fogg has coined the phrase “Captology”(an acronym for computers as persuasive technologies) to capture the domain of research, design, and applications of persuasive computers.In this thought-provoking book, based on nine years of research in captology, Dr. Fogg reveals how Web sites, software applications, and mobile devices can be used to change people’s attitudes and behavior. Technology designers, marketers, researchers, consumers-anyone who wants to le… More >> Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do
Medieval Technology and Social Change

Product Description
This study examines the role of technological innovation during the rise of social groups in the Middle Ages.Amazon.com Review
In Medieval Technology and Social Change, Lynn White considers the effects of technological innovation on the societies of medieval Europe: the slow collapse of feudalism with the development of machines and tools that introduced factories in place of cottage industries, and the development of the manorial system with the introduction of new kinds of plows and new methods of crop rotation. One invention of particular import, writes White, was the stirrup, which in turn introduced heavy, long-range cavalry to the medieval battlefield. The development thus escalated sm… More >>

The Biochar Debate: Charcoal’s Potential to Reverse Climate Change and Build Soil Fertility
Category Technology
- ISBN13: 9781603582551
- Condition: NEW

Product Description
The Biochar Debate is the first book to introduce both the promise and concerns surrounding biochar (fine-grained charcoal used as a soil supplement) to nonspecialists. Charcoal making is an ancient technology. Recent discoveries suggest it may have a surprising role to play in combating global warming. This is because creating and burying biochar removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Furthermore, adding biochar to soil can increase the yield of food crops and the ability of soil to retain moisture, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers and demands on scarce fresh-water supplies.While explaining the excitement of biochar proponents, Bruges also gives voice to critics who argue that opening biochar produ… More >>
