This book offers a new analysis of why Trump’s Far Right populism helped him win the Presidency twice, and how it enshrined a corporate establishment that he claimed to run against. Charles Derber presents a counter history of positive left populism and argues that populist parties gain power in eras of hard times for working people while mainstream parties lose voter support as they defend the existing system. Fighting Oligarchy: How Positive Populism Can Reclaim America makes the unorthodox case that only a left-leaning positive populist movement is likely to defeat Trump and his corporate regime.Derber highlights the core principles of resistance to build a new and sustainable US democracy.

Surfactant research explores the forces responsible for surfactant assembly and the critical industrial, medical, and personal applications, including viscosity control, microelectronics, drug stabilization, drug delivery, cosmetics, enhanced oil recovery, and foods. Surfactant Science and Technology: Retrospects and Prospects, "a Festschrift in honor of Dr. Kash Mittal," provides a broad perspective with chapters contributed by leaders in the fields of surfactant-based physical, organic, and materials chemistries.Many of the authors participated in a special symposium in Melbourne, Australia, honoring Kash Mittal's 100th edited book at the 18th Surfactants in Solution (SIS) meeting. Each chapter provides an overview of a specific research area, with discussions on past, present, and future directions. The book is divided into six parts.Part I reviews the evolution of theoretical models for surfactant self-assembly, and introduces a model for interpreting ion-specific effects on aggreg

The Web of Things (WoT) is a concept that describes approaches, programming tools and software architectural systems, which interface networks of real-world objects with the World Wide Web. The book is organized into 11 chapters, each focusing on a unique wireless technological aspect of the Web of Things, and it aims to comprehensively cover each of its various applications, including:A strong emphasis on WoT problems and solutions, identifying the main open issues, innovations and latest technologies behind WoTA blend of theoretical and simulation-based problems for better understanding of the concepts behind WoTVarious exemplifying applications in which the use of WoT is very attractive and an inspiration for future applicationsThe book will be useful to researchers, software developers and undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners.

Despite the range of studies into grief and mourning in relation to the digital, research to date largely focuses on the cultural practices and meanings that are played out in and through digital environments. Digital Afterlife brings together experts from diverse fields who share an interest in Digital Afterlife and the wide-ranging issues that relate to this. The book covers a variety of matters that have been neglected in other research texts, for example:The legal, ethical, and philosophical conundrums of Digital AfterlifeThe ways digital media are currently being used to expand the possibilities of commemorating the dead and managing the grief of those left behindOur lives are shaped by and shape the creation of our Digital Afterlife as the digital has become a taken for granted aspect of human experience.This book will be of interest to undergraduates from computing, theology, business studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education from all types of institutions.
