Take Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard
$21.98
Book
With clear directions and a humorous touch, expert Michael Cohen walks you through exactly how to sync managed data from a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with a variety of devices and services. Whether you want to sync phone numbers between your Mac and your mobile phone, share calendars and keychains between Macs, or move only new podcast episodes to an iPod, you'll find useful advice and directions. ("Managed data" is data that you can't usually see as separate files in the Finder—iCal events, Address Book contacts, Safari bookmarks, anything you store in iTunes or iPhoto, and so forth.)
You'll also learn how syncing works under the hood and get troubleshooting advice in case your sync engine throws a rod.
Take Control of MobileMe
$20.99
Book
MobileMe has become a Swiss-army knife of online services, offering not only a whizzy "push" data syncing service for tracking calendar, contact, and bookmark info on a variety of devices, but also email services, online storage and file sharing, Web hosting, and more. Take Control of MobileMe helps you understand the features and get set up, and then it dives into the details of real-life projects.
Take Control of MobileMe covers syncing - what to expect, what kinds of data besides calendar and contact information sync, handling problems, and more. The ebook also examines various ways to use an iDisk for storing and sharing files; setting up a MobileMe email account; accessing and updating calendar and contact data on the MobileMe site; using the Gallery feature along with iLife '09 to put photos and movies online with an attractive layout and interface; publishing a Web site to MobileMe's servers; and how to use Back to My Mac to get at the files and screen of one of your Macs while using another.
Back to My Mac: This book devotes six pages to Back to My Mac. However, fully covering this feature would take another book, so we wrote Take Control of Back to My Mac.
"Kissell cuts through [the syncing] thicket cleanly, with clear step-by-step instructions, with key caveats included. The book also provides great detail—good for peace of mind..." —The Cherry Creek News

STANFORD HORIZONS
$15.25
Book
Good fortune has kept me in the midst of a heady stream of youth for most of my life. Eager, enthusiastic, and light-hearted, but fundamentally ambitious, courageous, and confident of their control of the future, they have passed through the portals of Stanford into the horizon. To give some suggestions while they were on the way, or to offer them a final word, has been my privilege. Some of them have asked that they might read what they have heard me say.
The nation and the University have lived through a number of trying periods in the twenty years of my responsibility as President of Stanford. Some of these talks, while perhaps appropriate chiefly to the occasions on which they were delivered, seem worth recording, since crises and the need for individual decision will inevitably recur.
Once in a while one finds that some phrase or idea sticks in the mind of a boy and girl and is of use. To give an address is to broadcast into the blue. It becomes helpful only when someone is on the receiving end. If that someone is ear-minded, as most university students are, some effect may be produced; but since all of those who have been exposed to education have become likewise eye-minded, the present little volume is offered in the hope that even some students grown older will put on their lenses and hark back to those college days of exuberance,
romance, ambitions, and ideals.

Political Inversions : Homosexuality, Fascism, and the Modernist Imaginary
$21.61
Book
“Hewitt asks: What ideological work is accomplished by conflating fascism with sexual perversion? In the course of doing so, he restores a range of understandings of male-male desire that have been lost to view in much recent commentary. Basing his interpretation of Theodor Adorno’s presentation on home-fascism on the analysis of male homosexuality in psychoanalytic theory, Hewitt, provides the best analysis of Freud’s theory of narcissism that I have read. Highly pertinent to current discussions of relations between varieties of masculinity, the public sphere, and the state, this important book will become essential in critical theory and gay and lesbian studies.”
- Richard Dellamora, Trent University
Political Inversions attempts to understand the forces at play in conflations-both theoretical and cultural-of homosexuality and fascism. Taking its cue from Adorno’s assertion that “totalitarianism and homosexuality belong together,” the book examines how “aberrant” political and sexual economies have been equated across a variety of literary, visual, and theoretical discourses in contemporary debate.
At the same time, the author explores the ways in which queer theory and historiography have responded defensively to such conflations, thereby excluding from current discussions much important material. Thus, for example, Political Inversions reassesses the work of German “masculinist” writers of the early part of the century-thinkers whose definitive (but politically troubling) contributions to the construction of homosexual identity have been overlooked by a history heavily invested in the liberal Weimar tradition represented by figures such as Hirschfeld. Rather than reconstructing a history of gay identity, the book reads its texts as interventions in the broader political crises besetting democratic institutions in the first half of this century.
As a counterpoint to the theoretical work of masculinist thinkers, Hewist constructs a literary counter-tradition-including such disparate writers as Jarry and the German homosexual anarchist John Henry Mackay-to show how masculinism was also capable of questioning both the social and sexual terms of its own time and the predominant paradigms in contemporary queer aesthetics.
Andrew Hewitt is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the State University of New York, Buffalo.
