Just imagine what can happen when Dave and his computer go mano a mano. In Dave Barry in Cyberspace, you'll learn how to produce attractive, high-impact documents when you have absolutely nothing to say; visit the world's largest computer trade show - Nerdstock in the desert; use Internet shorthand; chat with total strangers who may be boring and stupid; and discover the world's largest collection of viola jokes - all this and more. When you rattle down the pothole-studded information superhighway with Dave Barry at the wheel, you will be a:) and you will be LOL, even ROTFL.  Editorial Reviews  Amazon.com Review Trust Dave Barry, middle-class America's chronicler of the absurdities and inanities of daily life, to provide the authoritative funnyman's guide to life with computers. Barry is sometimes insightful, as when he notes the ridiculous number of keystrokes needed to actually write something, often hilarious, as in his sendup of technological support hotlines, and occasionally genuinely indignant. This book is the perfect gift for anyone who, like many of us, can't live with computers and can't live without them.  From Publishers Weekly Whether you're a computer whiz or a computer nerd, this tongue-in-cheek guide to computing by bestselling humorist Barry (Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys, etc.) has enough byte to keep you entertained. Designed to look like a user's manual, complete with section tabs and a mock glossary, it offers a wryly skeptical tour of the digital world with outrageously irreverent commentary on word-processing applications, software installation and use, Windows 95, Comdex trade shows, technical support services and much more. Computerphobes will instantly relate to Barry's spoof, which taps into the residual anxieties lurking even in computer sophisticates. (How to buy and set up a computer? Step One: Get Valium.) Along with a brief history of computing from cave walls to virtual reality, Barry chats on the Internet, eavesdrops on a cybersex session and visits selected weird World Wide Web sites (Proof that civilization is doomed.) Barry's nonstop humor is, perhaps necessarily, hit and miss, but he never loses sight of his big target and lets loose with enough volleys to remind us that, despite all the hype, a computer is just a machine that operates on simple principles that can be easily understood by anybody with some common sense, a little imagination, and an IQ of 750. Major ad\/promo. Author tour.  Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.  From Library Journal HUMOR This latest spoof by a best-selling author and popular syndicated humor columnist is a welcome antidote to the recent influx of technical jargon regarding computers and the Internet. In typical style, Barry pokes fun at everything imaginable: Picture this scenario. ...Your 12-year-old child suddenly remembers that he has a report...due tomorrow. He needs to do some research, but the library is closed....Your cyber-savvy youngster simply...logs onto the Internet...and, in a matter of minutes, is exchanging pictures of naked women with youngsters all over North America. Although readers of Barry's past collections will often see the punchlines before they arrive, there is enough hilariously imaginative material here?particularly a chart depicting emoticons, those annoying keyboard symbols that chat group users employ to suggest emotion?to justify purchase in most public libraries.?Mark Annichiarico, Library Journal Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.  From Booklist The perdurably popular humor columnist (he's the Bob Hope of the Sunday supplements) admits he belongs to the tribe of computer geeks who would much rather spend our time diddling with our computers than using them to do something productive. (Is there innuendo in that statement, or are we just filthy-minded? That's the kind of question that crops up repeatedly while reading Barry--and one reason to keep reading him.) Moreover, the powerful studliness of Dave's latest binary toy allows him to do multitasking, which means I have the ability to . . . waste time faster than ever before. If you love Barry's shtick--that he's sort of a nonugly Rodney Dangerfield sans the profanity--you'll happily traipse along with him as he tells you how computers work and how to get computer literate and then takes you to a big computer convention and on to the 'net and even the Web. And if you don't love it, at least enough to be amused a few pages at a time, you're in a distinct minority.

I am pathetic. You've seen all those computer magazines with names like Data Dweeb and cover headlines like: Inside: Explicit Color Photographs of Big Hard Drives! and Wax Your Modem for Improved Speed!  No doubt you've asked yourself, What kind of no-life loser actually reads these magazines? I do! All the time! I read them in bed! I look at the pictures of new computer systems and become moderately aroused and say things like, Whoa! Check out the 6X SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive on THAT baby!  I could go on and on, listing the ways in which computers enrich our everyday lives. But I've made my point, which is that we live in the Computer Age, and you need to get with the program. You are standing in the airport terminal of life, and the jet plane of the 21st Century is about to take off. You must make a choice: Do you remain in the terminal, eating the stale vending-machine food of outmoded thinking? Or do you get on the plane and soar into the stratosphere of computerization, swept along by the jet stream of evolving technology, enjoying the in-flight snack of virtually unlimited information access, secure in the knowledge that if you encounter the turbulence of rapid change, you are holding, in this book, the barf bag of expert guidance.  That is the vision of tomorrow that I am offering you. Come, take my hand, and together let us explore this amazing new cyber-world. If you don't know anything about computers, have no fear: I'm not going to bombard you with a bunch of technical gobbledygook. I'm going to present you with simple, practical, well-organized, easy-to-understand information, a lot of which I will make up as I go along. So let me just take a moment now to run this chapter through my computer's spell-checker, and then you and I can begin our fascinating journey into a brighter, better, and--above all--more productive future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41795989602378,"sku":"372o","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/372o_1_cc551eee-e96d-4ec9-8b63-d9a7672f7650.jpg?v=1764153569"},{"product_id":"it-aint-necessarily-so-bro-by-karl-kruszelnicki-537m","title":"It Ain't Necessarily So...

The Origins of Survival  Fight or flight  You are walking home late one dark, wet and misty winter evening. It's been tiring today, so you are keen to get inside, close the door behind you and put the stresses of the day to rest. As you amble along, thinking in neutral, you realize you can hear measured but quickening footsteps behind you. A snatched glance over your shoulder reveals a man approaching in the gloomy street-light. He is moving rather quicker than you are walking, and he is looking at you all the while. There's no-one else in sight - no-one on the street except you and the stranger. The house suddenly seems a long way away. In less than an instant, you suddenly feel very afraid. Your heart starts beating wildly, your mouth goes very dry and you have a huge urge to start running towards the safety beyond your front door.  There is a very simple reason why you feel so terrified. Inside your body, all hell has broken loose. Biological sirens and alarms are wailing. Perceiving the threat of the potential mugger with lightning speed, your brain and autonomic nervous system - the automatic controller of the gut, heart, vessels and lungs - have gone into overdrive and produced a huge surge of adrenalin. This triggers a hormonal cascade inside you, an incredibly fast and powerful chemical relay-race designed to propel you away from a threatening situation. Just a fraction of a second later, the hypothalamus in your brain begins pumping out a substance called corticotropin-releasing hormone, or CRH, which in turn sends alarms to the pituitary gland in your brain to pour out adrenocorticotropin, or ACTH. Finally, the abnormally high levels of ACTH in your bloodstream are the warning signal for the adrenal glands, near your kidneys, to start producing cortisol.  Imagine the speed at which these precise yet complex combinations of hormones are produced - your body's reaction to fright and attack is virtually instantaneous. Almost immediately these chemical alarm bells are set off inside us, we are forcibly shoved into the (all too familiar) feeling of being acutely afraid. The adrenalin makes your heart pound faster, increasing its normal resting rate by as much as two or three times. You would have to cycle really vigorously for maybe fifteen minutes to produce that kind of rise in your heart rate under normal circumstances, but in the sudden grip of fear, the rate can triple in just a matter of seconds. You are also breathing much faster now and the blood is being rapidly redistributed around your body. The blood vessels in unimportant areas like your stomach and your skin constrict, shunting blood away and into the now dilated vessels of the muscles of the limbs. Here the extra oxygen and fuel gained by your increased breathing can be best harnessed to flee from the threat, or even fight it. There wouldn't be much sense in your stomach busily digesting that lunchtime sandwich right now, when every drop of your body's available energy needs to be used to save you from the approaching threat.  As the adrenalin and cortisol continue to gush out into your blood, your pupils dilate, allowing you to see better in darkness and shadows and to perceive any movement around you more keenly. A kind of pain-dampening effect is switched on so that you won't be distracted from getting away by any injuries. Emergency reserves of glucose are released inside you to allow for especially intense bursts of muscular activity. Even your immune system is mobilizing to cope with the possibility of dealing with a serious wound. In just a matter of moments, your body has propelled you into a state of extreme physical and psychological readiness to run or fight - whichever course of action best suits the threatening situation.  As the stranger, now just feet away from you, holds out the single, familiar glove you now realize you'd obviously dropped some way back, you may ask whether all your body's efforts were really worth it. Whether it's 'butterflies' in the tummy before an interview, the dry mouth and throat we feel minutes before we have to make a speech, or even the quickening pulse and sudden jump as we hear an unexpected bump in the night, it often seems that our bodies are overreacting. So where does this physical and psychological reaction come from? It's not as if we were taught as children to start breathing faster in threatening situations, nor can we consciously make our heart beat so much faster or force our body to produce adrenalin. What we are actually experiencing is our very own personal link to our most ancient human ancestors - a reaction which hundreds of thousands of years ago almost certainly made the difference between life and death, but which now, in most cases, simply serves to remind us of the remarkable fact that while living in a very advanced modern world, we all do so with Stone Age brains and bodies.  Indeed, this reaction in response to stress hormones goes way back in time, well before our immediate ancestors. Even animals that aren't mammals react basically in a similar way. Try startling your goldfish as it meanders around its bowl. If you place a net or a threatening object into its water, you will immediately see a very similar kind of reaction. Its fins stand out ready to flee and the gills and mouth start opening and closing in overtime. That fright reaction is caused by the same hormone, inherited down the ages: adrenalin.  Our early human ancestors lived in a very dangerous and threatening environment. When they first made it out of the trees to try their luck on the grassy plains of the east African savannah, they were vastly outnumbered by vicious and hungry predators. They lacked the brute strength of the great apes and many other large land mammals, especially the big cats. Nor were they particularly fast or agile like the antelope or gazelles. They could not fly, nor were they especially well designed for life in water. Their senses were poorly developed: no night vision, no extra-sensitive hearing to detect prey rustling in the grass hundreds of feet away, and an extremely unsophisticated sense of smell. Ape-man infants were helpless and dependent, and parents were distracted from practical matters of survival by having to care for their young. But these naked and defenceless prototype humans had to contend with the searing African heat as they traversed the vast distances of the plains in search of food, shelter and mates. If they stayed in one area, they risked starvation and attack from a stalking predator; if they were on the move, they faced the test of the unknown, of coming face to face with some terrible beast. And terrible they were.  While the most probable threat you may experience today is a brush with a suspicious person in a local street, our ancient ancestors had to face the reality of encounters with violent sabre-toothed cats and other predators. One variety was Smilodon, a sabre-toothed cat whose remains show it was almost a foot shorter than a modern-day lion, but weighed almost twice as much. Instead of the long, graceful tail cheetahs and leopards use for balance as they race across the African plains, Smilodon had a short, stumpy bobtail. This beast was a simmering hunk of muscle, designed for quick and furious violence.  Smilodon almost certainly hunted in packs. We know this because fossil specimens of the huge cat, dug up in California, show evidence of healing injuries. Some of these injuries were so serious that immediately after the trauma the cat would have been unable to hunt, so it couldn't have survived long enough for the injury to heal unless other animals from the pack had brought it food. Smilodon could roar - we know that from the structure of the hyoid bones in its throat - but like any modern feline predator it would have been silent when stalking. Once it had ambushed its prey, by charging the frightened antelope or artiodactyl with an explosive burst of power, it would have used its long, curved, sabre-like teeth, viciously ripping open the belly or throat.  It's highly likely that predators such as these would have killed and eaten early humans. In a cave at Swartkrans in South Africa, palaeontologists found the skull of an early human, Homo habilis, buried deep in sediment dated to around two million years. It belonged to an eleven-year-old child and bears the mark of an African predator: the bone is punctured in two places, an exact match for a pair of leopard's canines. A child such as this stood absolutely no chance of defending itself against these powerful beasts; even a fully grown male would have been practically helpless, given the speed, power and aggression of the big cats.  To stand the best possible chance of survival all animals have to protect themselves from danger and death, so they need a means to be alert to threats at all times, to fear them and to fight or flee in response to them. The imperative is self-preservation as well as the survival of the species. In evolutionary terms, a fearless animal would be much less likely to survive and pass on its fearless genes. Six billion humans now populate the world; our species has become the most successful in the history of all life on the planet.
