The true, behind-the-scenes history of the people who built Silicon Valley and shaped Big Tech in America Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet. There she saw firsthand how deeply intertwined Silicon Valley was with the federal government--and always had been--and how shallow the common understanding of the secrets of the Valley's success actually was. Now, after almost five years of pioneering research, O'Mara has produced the definitive history of Silicon Valley for our time, the story of mavericks and visionaries, but also of powerful institutions creating the framework for innovation, from the Pentagon to Stanford University.It is also a story of a community that started off remarkably homogeneous and tight-knit and stayed that way, and whose belief in its own mythology has deepened into a collective

首刷贈品：四款地景書籤 隨機一款「走過荒蕪又絢爛的世界，成為溫柔又堅毅的靈魂。」年度暢銷旅行文學作家陳浪，紀念後疫情時代中的第一趟「遠行」──▍隻身縱貫美國西岸，追尋自由的5000公路長旅2021年夏天，來到太平洋的另端──美國，一場嚮往已久的公路旅行正要展開。耗時兩個月，穿梭六個州，途經四大地景，宛若追夢之路必經的章節：在繁華絢燦的城市裡孕育想望，在細雨迷濛的山林裡成長茁壯，在寂寥貧瘠的荒漠裡迷失方向，在湛藍如初的海岸線旁重拾遼闊。▍孤獨、迷失、尋找、希望，一段追夢人的眞摯獨白睽違多時的再次出發，有如這些年旅旅生涯的總結：見證自己從青澀的背包客，轉變成能與孤獨共友，獨自縱橫廣袤大地，看盡聚散離合的職業旅者。這不單單是一本記錄沿途風光的旅行文學作品，更是一個追夢人征旅多年後的省思與回望。▍「將年少走過的風景妥善收藏，成為遼闊並自由的人」年少輕狂的旅者，路程再短再長，都成流浪。糊里糊塗地在路上長大，選擇的道路始終綿長，仍然充滿徬徨，亦沒有解答。《漫長的紀念Heart of Gold》在即將邁入而立之年、心境轉變之際誕生，如實記載羈旅生涯和文壇之旅的夢途掙扎。當再熟悉不過的道路變得漫長，其實也正是這些輾轉難眠、徬徨不安的時刻，令我們蛻變成長。【章節預覽】▍chapter 01 Metropolis 城市「走過一座以景致為名的城市，卻不是在層巒疊嶂的山峰間尋獲美景。當遵循心之所向，踏上遙遠的旅途後方才明白，原來選擇本身，就已足夠美麗。」▍chapter 02 Mountain 山林「用盡全力，熱淚盈眶地奔赴，即便從不知道會迎向怎樣的結局，但我已把最好的日光、最好的年華，都留在路上。不用做個太堅強的人，反而使我成為真正勇敢的人。」▍chapter 03 Desert 荒漠「行旅太長時間，所有已然發生的記憶，都和尚未駛進的風景交織在一起。但當你在過去的自己裡，找到了今天的自己，方才明白，再多纏繞與混亂，解開來，都是條筆直的公路，只是移動的人把它走得糾結又漫長，不過如此而已。」▍chapter 04 Coastline 海岸線「無止盡的流浪常常使我迷惘，卻又總在某些片刻忽然明瞭，也許出發，從不在於朝多豐盛的未來抵達，而是為了把握當下，學會珍藏過往。」

Institutions are failing in many areas of contemporary politics, not least of which concerns climate change. However, remedying such problems is not straightforward. Pursuing institutional improvement is an intensely political process, playing out over extended timeframes, and intricately tied to existing setups. Such activities are open-ended, and outcomes are often provisional and indeterminate. The question of institutional improvement, therefore, centers on understanding how institutions are (re)made within complex settings. This Element develops an original analytical foundation for studying institutional remaking and its political dynamics. It explains how institutional remaking can be observed and provides a typology comprising five areas of institutional production involved in institutional remaking (Novelty, Uptake, Dismantling, Stability, Interplay). This opens up a new research agenda on the politics of responding to institutional breakdown, and brings sustainability scholar

The redefinition of the single-family house, the urban landscape, and the American Dream.Sitting squarely at the center of the American Dream, the detached single-family home has long been the basic building block of most US cities. In Remaking the American Dream, Vinit Mukhija considers how this is changing, in both the American psyche and the urban landscape.In defiance of long-held norms and standards, single-family housing is slowly but significantly transforming through incremental additions of second and third units. Drawing on empirical evidence of informal and formal changes, Remaking the American Dream documents homeowners’ quiet unpermitted modifications, conversions, and workarounds, as well as gradual institutional alterations to once-rigid, local land-use regulations. Mukhija’s primary case study is Los Angeles and the role played by the State of California―findings he contrasts with the experience of other cities including Santa Cruz, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and V
